I'm prepared to accept that it might be but i'd need to see evidence.

โ€œBefore I became a barrister, I was convinced I was brilliant at argument,โ€ says Jones. โ€œI found that a relentless condescension, refusal to concede any point and a tireless determination to prolong the dispute reliably wore out opponents. They walked away leaving me the victor.โ€

Luckily we never see that kind of behaviour on STW.

Oooof a guardian link. Its a shame that these dont have a warning like the dailymail ones do as I'm sure many find this rag equally repellent.

The Guardian as "equally repellent" as the Daily Mail? Srsly?

Put it this way: If I had to buy them, there's only one I'd hide inside a porn mag in case anyone saw me.

I think many people may disagree with the Guardian but I'd go with Cougar, I don't think people find it awful in quite the same way as people find the Mail repellent.

Remember when the Guardian supported Hitler and now it's registered offshore, blames immigrants for everything, and has a borderline paedo sidebar on its website?

With Brexit and Trump taking the blame for everything now, is Thatcher forgiven!?

Without Thatcher, would there have been a Brexit?

Blair is the offspring of Thatcher, and Call Me Dave is the Heir to Blair, so...
