While Ken Clarke and Michael Heseltine are on the left of the Conservative party. I very much doubt that they would have been on here supporting the same far left progressive polices of WE.

As stated, those who consider themselves conservatives and have read WE's positions and just who writes in support of him on here will make their own mind up on how honest his claims on being a conservative are.

Of course I read it. Several times. It seems to me not to approach the subject without any preconceptions but look at things based on scientific observations, reaching an interesting conclusion on why some people erroneously believe that "white" racism is increasing.

My own position is irrelevant. I was not discussing that at all.

Quite takes your breath away!!!

What kind of idiot doesn't understand that the Conservative Party is, or at least used to be, a very broad church. Of course Clarke and Heseltine served in a cabinet led by Thatcher. They did so in order to moderate and mitigate. To ensure that both the major wings of the party had a voice in cabinet. That they "signed off" on the policies fails to contemplate how those policies were arrived at, where compromise and conciliation were required before agreement. Thatcher was a dominant lady but both Clarke and Heseltine were pretty persuasive and had their own support too.

The idea that the only thing I am interested in is my bank balance is as funny as it's insulting. Just so long as I am able to live without worry my bank balance is of little concern, especially the older I get. Although it's of no concern to you I have supported others less fortunate than me all my life and have given away a substantial percentage of my wealth. I live modestly. Money is not the measurement of a man any more than is his macho capacity. You measure a man by his humanity.

We will see where Romney ends up. There's a lot of water still up stream. Cream always rises. It sometimes takes time.

That these exchanges deteriorate is entirely down to you. I post opinion whilst you post insult upon insult. Whenever your far-right blathering gets trashed insult is always your response and never reasoning.

Why do I bother? It's not for your benefit that's for sure as people like you never change, but there are some others here whose politics I might disagree with but are more reasonable people and likely to be receptive to alternative viewpoints. It's noticeable that whilst you regularly get taken to task by me and a few others it's rare for anyone to come to your aid. Which, given the political balance to be found here, ought to give you pause for thought. It won't of course because you are never wrong and don't need any help.

Views like yours need to be countered where-ever they crop up. I believe it to be a duty placed on every decent person. I have done it for years in a variety of places, although you are probably the worst example I have encountered. I have little doubt if you had been born 100 years ago that 20 years later black shirts would have been your preferred attire.

You might think all of this has nothing to do with US politics but in a strange way it does. The kind of views you hold are much more commonly found in the USA and more freely expressed in the Trump era. The last thing we need is for them to gain any traction in the UK.

I tip my hat sir.

Really, Wisbech?

Well I'll stand by the likes of Stirling against your sort all day every day.
You are nothing more than a flimflam man and a fifth columnist who is use only to the enemies of our culture and our future existence as a nation.
