You are not obliged to read, or comment, on my replies. I won't be offended.

It makes laugh when people like you are always trying to explain yourselves.
Your reasons or explanations are meant to clarify your intentions.(letting me know that you won't be offended by me is a prime example) However, they become justifications or excuses instead, and are completely unnecessary and uncalled for, considering that the person you’re talking to doesn’t care

That's OK then because I don't care about your opinion either. I am glad that we can end in agreement.

I didn't say I had it tough. Having witnessed real poverty elsewhere in the world by people who still manage to stay happy I, and just about everyone else in the UK, have nothing to complain about.

I was responding to the suggestion I was middle class and "entitled" when my background is far from that.

Perhaps I am self righteous but that's grown over the years with my confidence, which was sadly lacking in my youth. I am confident of my opinions and not intimidated by others, no matter if I am in a minority of one. When I see bs I say so. If it makes anyone stop and think then I am happy.

I don't expect to change your mind either. As my "attitude" is to resist any drift towards a divided, untruthful, selfish, uncaring society, which takes us backwards, I see any determination to resist it something which itself needs to be fiercely resisted, by reason and well structured argument. UK politics has gradually evolved to ensure a fairer more inclusive society and I for one am determined that progress will be continued. The kind of politics promoted by the likes of Farage, Rees Mogg, Cash et al is an affront to decency and to me. I see it in the USA with Trump and I don't want it established here. Fortunately I see a very much smaller group of people here who are in the bubble of believing in Trump like solutions than in the USA. There is a small hard core, of which you are one, and a current softer outer circle because of Brexit, who will drift away to the centre again once this is all over.

It won't be us as individuals who will decide. It will be at the ballot box. I will be doing my best never fear.

What if they are factual but inconvenient?

For example?

But not the Referendum on Brexit because that is different.

I am not hardcore anything political. I just oppose people who promote their deluded nonsense that is ruining out Western society.
