There is a genuine reason why I asked Dylan8. In recent years I've been doing family research and exchanged many emails with previously unknown distant family members and have read of their concerns of what is happening in the UK.. We were in HK for Chinese New Year this year and joined a German business man, his Indonesian wife and a HK National during dinner. I won't go into the details but the German gentleman gave a deeply disturbing picture of the changes to his country's culture with the influx of immigrants and government policies in their favour. Therefore, having been around for a decade or eleven, special care must be taken in commenting on issues that don't immediately affect us or match our personal (political) views.
Okay then

My comment was about Britain shifting from a Tory who has presided over a regime to cut the public sector to a man who has presided over possibily the greatest housing crisis in an individual western city and handles himself with the humility of Donald Trump.

Oh dear, having a view that Portia doesn't agree with. So perhaps to explain so you may understand, I have NOT stated a position, unlike Dylan8. i have simply stated views others have made.
Perhaps one day Portia, you may fully divulge your 'position' as detailed in your email to me some time ago. Yes, it's on file. You want to fire bullets!!!

Your position is that no one should comment on anything they have not personally experienced. Better shut down Bigfooty because I doubt anyone posting here played AFL.

You mean the one about me being trans? I don't deny it, I just don't talk about it much.

But **** you for trying to use that as a tool to threaten me you mangy old campaigner.

No one can accuse Portia of not having personal experience of her own experience.

No need to get personal with people.
