Your background is impressive and there are not enough people like you that are able to climb out of such a position. Britain as well as societies all over the world needs the likes of you to give back and from memory you seem to do this with ***ually confused kids.

You see we just go back and forth without really knowing who we are talking to. The less you know about people the more entitled people feel they have a right to judge.

I have met many members from this board and I must be honest I do treat them differently. I am quite happy to call Brin a tit because I have met him a few times and he knows I don’t mean to offend it is just something that I would say to his face anyway.

Reading about your life and struggles, the way you won through and the fact that you once said that you danced to ABBA like a kid really gives me a better perspective of you. One that I like and one that has given me more respect towards you.

I thank you for opening up.

Ps. I didn’t read the first few paragraphs!

Thanks for the very kind words frog, very much appreciated. It was a rough start but many have lots worse and I've had a good share of lucky breaks since.

Wow, that's some good trawling there! Yes, to qualify, and without wishing to open the debates again, I was/am behind intervention in Ukraine, but the pacifist in me warring with the realist hates the arms trade as an instinct and oppose most. Re British history, there are parts of our history, namely the colonial part, of which I am not proud but I'm sure a deeper trawl would find me also saying that we have every reason to be proud of many other parts, not least our involvement in the great wars to play a big role in defeating fascism.

Yep, would love to meet and chat with posters as sure we'd get on much better than it seems on politics posts. My racist best mate (he now is quite happy to call himself that after many years of denial, and I love his honesty) are worlds apart politically but we were born in the same street, 3 days apart and share similar childhoods that keep us connected. Never a day goes by when I don't get at least a handful of his social media harvested far right memes, but we have a bloody good laugh when we get together for a pint! I'm sure most of us would on here.

He won't dance to ABBA though. Miserable ****.
