I am not a sheep, I have my own mind
I have had enough of being told what and how to think
Whilst we are still allowed the remnants of free speech,
I will speak out.
I also reserve the right to discuss less controversial matters should I feel the urge.

"We'd just mutter a bit..."
The BBC Radio 4 Today programme this morning had John Humphrys interviewing Chris Patten and others about the built-in anti-Conservative bias in the way constituency boundaries are constituted. John Humphrys ran the discussion as an interesting academic discussion. Somehow I think that if the system favoured the Conservative party and left the Labour party needing proportionally more votes per elected MP than the Conservatives, then the discussion with a Labour greybeard would have had more urgency and claims of unfairness. You see Conservatives (and the Republicans in the US) are meant to just 'suck it up' when they are the victims of unfairness whilst Labour (and the Democrats in the US) moan, whinge, whine and maybe 'man the barricades' in protest.
