    They informed us that the Lords had backed the results of the Leveson inquiry, something I wasn't aware of, what is wrong with that?

    The clue is in the forum title -- house prices and the economy.
    No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.

    The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

    If you don't like the sign off then you can put me on ignore. But unfortunately these idiotic, irrelevant Labour propaganda threads show up regardless. I notice that those who share the philosophy are quick to defend the practice. I also notice that seldom, if ever, are similar right wing threads put up. Perhaps those of that persuasion largely have more sense, discernment, and self respect.

    You didn't seem to have a problem with the 'Information on Mps' thread ;)

    I don't defend them but unless you read them you don't take in other perspectives.

    I find a number of your posts enlightening and I am sure your a big softy really.

    It wasn't political propaganda, but I agree it was irrelevant and should have been ignored by us all.

    Likewise.

    I'd bet that I'm not what you would expect to a large extent. But I have found that to 'survive' on discussion forums it is necessary to adopt a completely broach-no-nonsense persona.

    Wait a minute, do you actually believe that your posts are politically neutral?

    Of course not, but I do not start threads purely for the purpose of pushing party political propaganda, often having nothing to do with the forum's purpose. It's troll-ism -- you know it and I know it.
