A creepy weirdo

I personally love the socialist philosophy, but it doesn't work in reality, it always get converted in to a form of over control with a lack of democracy - 27 April 2014 00:01265002Keith.
It could work, if we accepted that we are all not right and we are all not wrong, we all deserve some recognition and without each other all working together, we cannot make things right.
We do not have to be enemies. we can be adults and work together."My New Year's Resolution, is to try and emulate Marek's level of chilled out, thoughtfulness and humour towards other forumites and not lose my decorum" - 27 April 2014 10:39265025Socialism doesn't necessarily imply compassion, and capitalism doesn't necessarily imply greed. It's possible for socialists to be champions of free enterprise and also for capitalists to have a social conscience and be philanthropic. The sooner we all learn that, and learn to understand the other chap's point of view, the better.
As for us euro-sceptics, we should vote UKIP at the euro-elections, hoping to frighten the bejesus out of Cameron so that he starts to entertain the idea of an election pact with UKIP at the next election. A Tory/UKIP coalition after 2015 is our only realistic chance of getting out of the EU. I would absolutely not trust a Tory majority government to honour its referendum pledge, and any other coalition would put the kibosh on it.
As for David being a creepy weirdo, I would say the unnamed councillor either doesn't know David at all, or perhaps he knows him better than I do.

But you're spot on, everybody must vote UKIP at the euro elections on 22nd may. - 27 April 2014 13:16265049Incidentally, so many people have contacted me to say: creepy weirdo?
Bombastic, opinionated, arrogant, yes. But hardly creepy.
Ho hum.
