#30 How sweet of you Paul, I take it all as a compliment! Actually it is quite amusing, you see when you were in charge people like me and Steve, Liz and so many others at the time, were all booted off because we did not hold the same view as you. It may be that Chris and Howard are completely fed up with me too. They haven't said so, and certainly Chris knows me well enough to pick up the phone if he feels the need, I don't particularly want to upset him. I love it that after all that has been said, you find it acceptable to find the time to make a personal attack towards me!
A marvellous irony!
Fact one. I asked for David to be reinstated. The forum ran with it.
Fact two. No emails to me from Chris or Howard asking me to stop the campaign.
Fact three. I do post on other subjects if I know anything about them that might be useful, or if the subject is of interest. I do not post if the subject causes me a professional conflict.
Fact four. Although a general statement has been given, nothing specific as to why David was banned has been given.
Now, I appreciate he writes as he speaks and this can come across harshly sometimes. I have given all sorts of narrative on this subject talking about holding politicians to account, but now that the ice seems to have broken, maybe this will indeed go away.
Peter makes a good point.
