I don't think you have Whitewave! It wasn't directed at you honestly, just my experience on here.

Maybe there are a lot of people on here and in politics who say what is convenient for their argument in the belief that their supporters will believe it without checking the facts regardless of the person they are defaming or whether they can carry through on their claim?

Please don't take it personally, it wasn't.

Oh! Sorry nonnie what have I said wrong and not apologised for?

Also on here? What about apologies when you are shown to be wrong? No, maybe not, Gn is not so different from parliamentarians.

Over the past few days various lights have been shone in the darker recesses of government departments and we have glimpsed a very different scenario between what is spun to us and what actually happened.

In order for governments to have any sort of legitimacy, surely we should expect an element of truth.
