Irish voters were led astray, says European Commissioner
The politics of erosion.
Sad to say, yet another example of self-appointed 'them' deciding 'we' are too dumb to be trusted with a free vote, and seeing nothing remotely odd about saying so, is almost becoming so commonplace as to wash over one.
As a matter of interest, is there a mechanism to get such a person out still? If so, I also ask, rhetorically, without a massive wadge of wonga to compensate for trampling over hard-fought freedoms with barely a thought?
It got a reply.... I have answered
Dear Mr. G (hope I have spelled your name correctly)
Without knowing, along with who I support, or not, how you think I might count myself is your own affair, though it does rather confirm my view that there are some who like to put themselves, and others, in little boxes. It's a mentality I see a lot, especially amongst those who like ticking them for a living.
As to how smart I am, I tend to favour those espousing the politics of positive persuasion to get folk on side, rather than threat or insult.
You might like to try it some time. It may even reflect well upon you and your argument.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
