Not really toots , theres a difference between losing it , and posting with passion about stuff you care.

I have rarely "lost " it online , it is after all merely an internet forum where most of us are simply talking bollocks about daft politics and politicians.

If i ever did "lose it" toots , i can assure you it wouldnt be over daft quack quack.

It's nice to know that you are peace loving when in the bath playing with your rubber ducks!  ;D ;D

Mmmm  but I was always taught that if you lose it you lose the argument. I confess to being pushed quite hard on that front occasionally but then I just go quiet for a while until I regain my equilibrium. After all everyone's opinion is just that. Politically we are just ineffectual would be political anoraks ....... until there is an election!   ::)

I like to think we have taught each other a thing or two, that don't mean we cannot have a bit of a bit of a scuffle.

i know you are toots , but in my defence , i have been listening to qack quacks zany predictions and utter rubbish online now for the best part of the last decade , and after a while , it starts to wear a bit thin and politeness goes right out the window.

Thomas you are many things but politeness has never been a trademark  it's what makes you the poster you are (and I don't mean that in a bad way) tbh if anything you have mellowed a little over the years.

You are what you are and a spade is usually a bloody shovel (that's the polite version ;) :))

Thought I would be way more over to the right than that.


This site must be a crock. I'm about three millimetres further north, and about an inch to the LEFT of Your score


I guess that's because I want to bring back hanging, but don't care if you're stoned off your face on pot all day

How can you get a fairer distribution of wealth than the capitalist system?

Work hard get rewarded.
Do nowt, get nowt.

What is fairer than that?
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

Well, yes.  I think politics is about generalisation. There are probably environmentalists who hate whales and gay people who are racist, but they're exceptions.

Do you believe in increasing state ownership of essential public services?

I'm not sure that Brexit would be a good test since people in the centre ground of politics tended to support remain while those further to the right or left wanted to leave the EU. The right demonised the EU as a liberal left bureaucracy intent on taking over sovereign states while the left saw its roots as a tool of the West for use against the Soviet bloc, a leftover from the Cold War.

Ok So a question for everyone - what questions would show a clear left/right candidate?
