Dear Howard,
You are quite correct in your analysis that I am loosing the plot. I did not mean to insult you personally, but I suppose it is born out of a sense of frustation knowing full well that these people will continue to cheat and lie. the irony is that he (David Laws) managed to keep his secret until after the election, when his constituants could have passed judgement on his behaviour.
I apologize once again for my behaviour and trust that metaphorically speaking we can be friends but possibly rivals when the need arises.
