I've been led to believe that Hackey is a Catholic (ok) which is what we all would be except for Henry III's passion for Anne Boleyn.

But you constantly attack the Conservatives and give Labour a free run at it . 

 

It may have escaped your notice but the Conservative party had been in power for the past fourteen years and they had an unassailable majority.

Therefore they were responsible for the absolute fiasco that took place over that period.  Now the other lot are in power also with an unassailable majority thanks to our undemocratic unfit for purpose voting system. They are now responsible for what takes place.

Their start has neither impressed me or provided any optimism for positive change.  I don't give a monkeys who's in charge, I just want them to do the job they put themselves forward for.

 

I voted Liberal, not because I thought they are as pure as the driven snow, but because they want PR+STV and are pro EU. I disagree with their aim to rejoin as in my opinion that ship has sailed, but rejoining the Single Market would be the commonsense thing to do. Which is probably why it won't happen.

It hadn't escaped my notice , just the same as your "supposedly" unbiased posts .

A point of view on a particular topic does not necessarily  mean a bias, understand?

Do I detect a note of sarcasm hackey lad?  If so, and if you are Catholic as has just been claimed by your mate do mention it next time you go to confession, there's a good lad.  I was raised a Catholic, now lapsed and agnostic but I do respect anyone's faith.

 

Looking at a situation and reaching a personal conclusion based upon the facts is not displaying bias. If I have an opinion and someone provides me with a verifiable fact which contradicts my original opinion I change my opinion, what do you do?

Now about to watch a film and have a drink with the wife so goodnight all.

Goodnight,  hope your wife reads you the tome 'How to avoid being condescending'  a very annoying trait,  but if you say your prayers you may be forgiven.
