Appreciate what you’re saying Siderite and I think you’re right to an extent but I’m not in the habit, in a paid or voluntary capacity to canvas or lobby the voting public to ‘try and win them over’. That’s for those that are in those positions. This is merely a non footy forum viewed by a relatively small amount pf people. Many on here think I’m a patronising t*** anyway (they’ve said so) but I’m not here to make long lasting deep friendships. What is it we keep hearing over the last few days? The public now want honesty and integrity. Well, I’m just falling in line here!
I’ve got a big beef with prominent people like Grayson Perry and Russell Brand, who make programmes and narcissistic YouTube shows that basically kowtow to pretty horrible people because apparently we should ‘understand their concerns and compromise’. There’s too much of that going on as far as I’m concerned. It’s edging towards legitimising hatred and bigotry in my opinion and I’ve little appetite for it. I understand and respect the point you’re making but beg to differ.
