Unlike Dave, I certainly mean to cause offence......
What the hell's an armchair politician? You mean some people have less right to an opinion than you because they are less "active"? Strikes me that it's the "activists" who are often the ones to be out of touch. They're so far up their own political arses that they don't see reality. The halfwits who still bleat about some leaflet about christies 3 years ago that nobody read and nobody can produce a text of, whilst poo hooing the disasters of Iraq and the mess of the NHS are the ones which debase debate, not the likes of Dave.
