I think we also all accept that, despite a parliamentary majority, the current tory government enjoys the support of a minority of the electorate.

So if the statement in paragraph one is true, why is it acceptable to make derogatory remarks about a Conservative, minority, supporter when you, by your own admission, know bugger all about his attributes???

Just being provocative for a Saturday evening.
1) I’m not being ‘prejudiced’. Prejudice is ‘pre-conceived opinion that is not based on reason or experience’. My feelings about Cummings are all based on both reason and experience.
2) I didn’t say I knew ‘bugger all about his attributes’. I actually outlined them in my opening post. I said I didn’t claim to be more expert on the subject than Adi, Andy or mista.

What’s so special about Saturday evening? You’ve been ‘provocative’ for the sake of it since the ‘lockdown’ started.
