    Just accept it and go with the flow you old fool
    Why the personal abuse? And didn't you get upset about me being ageist by calling Mike Harding an aging folk singer a few weeks ago?

    I am not and never have been a member of the Tory party and have never voted for them in a General Election. As for expressing mainstream Tory policy – can you give an example? I'm surprised that you know what they are. I don't.

    The Russia Today article doesn't express an interesting argument. It is a Russia Today article – a product of Putin's personal propaganda machine. Do you think Russia Today makes an ‘interesting argument’ when it put us ‘facts’ about Russian gym instructors travelling to Salisbury to see the spire on the Cathedral? I‘d really like to know. And how many of your posts are based on Russia Today articles?

    The Russia Today piece is only interesting in the sense that it is clearly pro-Corbyn and that you seized upon it in a distinctly Pavlovian manner.
    This article expresses exactly the same argument as the RT:

    https://www.independent.co.uk/voices...-a7844826.html

    Do you always dismiss, or refuse to read an argument just because of the writer or forum on which they write? I don't like the express and mail but doesn't mean that their writers are incapable of conveying a plausible argument.

    Dismissing on this basis is where blinkeredness lies. And you hate blinkeredness don't you?

    You daft ha'peth.

    Neither are they reporting on the yellow vest riots which have been going on every weekend for 12 weeks now.

    RT is no worse than any of the other media, I like that it has the people on that the MSM doesn't so you can get more of an idea with their alternative point of view. Like the video I posted says people should get their information from as many sources as possible.

    Not sure how it should be assessed? Is there a measure we should work to? Do any guidlines exist? That said Id say this is more a problem that exist in you imagination than in actual fact.

    For me there has been under representation of the Friday night joke thread. Im happy its back and hope it continues.
