>>You seem blinded by the fact that I've chosen to put my politics and associated party allegiance on the table
No, I just find it considerably diminishes your credibility. Bias does that. You seem unable to see past it.
To be honest I only ever read your first paragraph which is where the dig usually is. There's nothing about your political statements that I read anymore. Well, perhaps nothing is a bit strong, let's go with not much.
>>While you claim to be non partisan the use of phrases like socialist, self-serving crap doesn't shout open minded. My observation is that your instincts are conservative - free reign to the markets etc.
Because you think in "party" terms and you don't seem to be able to comprehend those people that do not. My very problem is that my beliefs do not fit a party.
For example, I do very much believe in free reign to the markets as far as is possible. I also believe very strongly in the NHS and a Welfare State. I do hate self-serving crap, sponging political correct wasters, and the wilfully idle. They can starve in the gutter for all of me. On the other hand all those that need help should get it; of whatever colour creed orientation or letter of the alphabet. By and large I think self-declared 'socialists' are more in love with telling other people what they should do and controlling their lives than they are in actually doing good. That said the majority of the conservative politicians are outrageously self-serving, more like the peers of 150 years ago than a politician that the modern world needs.
You are more comfortable with labels. Labels make me feel quite the opposite, are rarely appropriate and rarely fit me.
Other than bad-tempered and intolerant git. That fits me.
