I agree Wheeze. He talks about the left and I would suggest it's all mainstream politicians as anyone outside of that centre ground is extreme, barmy, bigoted, nasty, fascist, marxist.....
The idea of left and right is a little blurred.
I also know, from postings on this forum and facebook, that there are dozens of people out there reading quietly, who dare not post for fear of being attacked.
So it is left to us few with thicker skins to have a go.
