Rumours

Can I put one story to rest. I DO NOT monitor this site for Nigel Farage or Roger Knapman. I don't know who first suggested this but they are wrong!

First rule of politics - don't deny something if your denial makes more people aware of the original rumour.

Just a bit of advice.

You are the last person I would take advice from. I would rather take advice from Nero on fire prevention.

I know this will start rumours, but I don't monitor this site on behalf of Michael Howard.

I do monitor on behalf of the Health & Safety Executive.

Paper cuts, sharp tongues, scracthy fingernails etc

I don't know who started the rumour, but Nigel Garage is not a Farage mole in Veritas.

The level of debate has now sunk to the level of a five year child. Perhaps it is time to move on to other things.

The level of a five year old, you mean Charles Kennedy has got his nanny reading this to him as well!!

Johnwest - we are restoring order right now. We have allowed people to have their say on the Veritas issue, and many have taken the opportunity, whcih I am glad about.

However, as you say, there is now too much personal attack and not enough real debate going on.

Sad but true! But we can still have a laugh and still agree on many things even in the current fraught situation. Personally, I shall now spend half an hour attempting to think benevolent thoughts about other members of this forum. After that I'll throw some darts at my specially mounted picture of Tony Blair, and then I'll patrol the threads looking for positings to delete because they aren't in the Veritas War Zone. Oh yes, and probably I should do some work at some stage today....
