I agree with supporting the Badger Trust, but does the agreement of people on here have to be accompanied by leftist political rantings.
Strange weekend. A poster to Britarch this weekend has accused other posters of 'socialist' leanings. Wonder if the two are in anyway connected....
I remember being berated by an elderly archaeologist in the 1980s who finally spat out, when he realised he wasn't winning the arguement, that he was 'tired of this Marxist diatribe'. Although I was proud then as I am now to be thought of as a Marxist, I had to ask him what particular part of the discussion offended him. He replied that he could always spot Marxists because we were those people that 'considered the Roman invasion from the point of view of the natives'.
So maybe Blacktusk's point is that some of us are 'guilty' of leftist leanings through considering BAJR baiting from the point of view of the badger!!
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
