For the record, none of the major parties would warrant my vote in any forthcoming general election, and judging from the seeming dissatisfaction demonstrated by all and sundry against the main political parties, how would folks feel if we summoned all our troops from back from fighting Labour's illegal wars and instigated a military coup? That'd surely sort out the wheat from the chaff!

A military coup would make us as bad as some of the third world countries that we want to change. Do you want something along the lines of Burma? The public has the right to pick and choose its govenment based on their right to vote. Military intervention has never really solved any problems for that country just fear and resentment. The end result is chaos and death something 99.9% of people do not want. I a govenment is unpopular and no good at running the country then they face the voters wrath at a general election. Then they have only themselves to blame. That is true people power!!!

...and after your coup d'état, and we'd bade farwell to democracy, and said hello to an illegal government, presumably brought about by violent force, who would be in it?

Your talk of wheat and chaff makes me think of only one thing...crackers.

You can.

I prefer to do it with a bamboo cane.

Wearing a mask doesn't intensify the short, sharp, whack of pain.

So no mask is needed.

Plus it's nice for those who receive the virtual whack, to see the smile on my face as I admonish it.

It doesn't 'float mt boat', but those of you who post flights of fancy on here, often totally out of touch with reality, seem to like being kept in check.

You probably like me for the same reason you loved Maggie.

Now go away, and don't forget to wash your hands.

Tee . . . hee. Thought that might stir up a hornets nest! I accept that my comments were nonsensical and that true democracy is the only answer to the formation of a stable society. Pity, though, that Brown seems to disagree.

The answer to that is below.

Playing 'Devil's Advocate' is a sure fire way of raising the temperature in any topical debate, with politics always bringing out the best - and the worst - in contributors. Should the freedom of speech be denied us, though, then the world would be a much sadder place for those of us who are still able to practice it.

I rest my case.

We already have a member who plays devil's advocate. She admits to posting statements she doesn't belive in, just to cause controversy.

In the virtual world of forums, it's called being a troll.

Happily the vast majority of Accy Web members only bother posting the things they actually believe in, and mean.

I'll keep my gob shut in future then.
