Anyone still thinking of voting tory at the next General Election?

Doesn't stop the facts being right though.

And if one's purpose is to demonstrate to other people who trust facts more than sentiment that you have a grasp of the situation, then spouting facts and their consequences is quite rewarding.

Which "fact" were you saying was wrong? I replied to a post of yours. I can't see anything in it about a fact being wrong.

When you "spout facts and their consequences" does this help you learn what you were hoping to learn?

I was going to ignore you but I'm finding it impossible. My weakness.

I'm not trying to change anybody's mind.

I'm not trying to learn anything.

I'm not trying to practice making sponge cake, or any other imaginary motivation that you might think up.

I'm telling poeple what I'm thinking.

At the moment, I thinking you need to stop trying to harass me and leave me alone, because its very weird. Really, really weird and just a bit sinister.

poeple people

You say above that "I'm not trying to learn anything." But previously you said, "I want to understand what motivates people because that's how my mind works."

Both those cannot be right, and you really can't jump from one to the other and expect other posters to second guess which is correct at any one moment.

You say "If you don't like that, too bad." and that replying to you is "very weird. Really, really weird and just a bit sinister."

Why. This is a forum, and I am having a conversation. You reply, I reply. What is weird about that? You can be rude and insulting by I try to ignore that and reply to the post. Just who is acting strangely?

Sums it up

A delegate going into the Tory Conference when asked about the U-Turn = "You should always stick with the policy you announced, regardless"

Sounded like the thinking that brought about the slaughter at The Somme

... yes, stick with the policy, and let someone else pick up the pieces.

If this fool delegate was about to lose his home because he couldn't keep up with his mortgage repayments, or live in pain because he couldn't afford private health treatment and had to wait his turn in the NHS queue, I bet he wouldn't be so casually indifferent.

Most normal human beings embarking on a course of action which begins to unravel and proves to have been a mistake, change tack.

These rabid right-wingers are a really loathsome bunch.
