"I'm left wing. Therefore I *have* to be anti-motorist, and I *have* to be sanctimonious about smoking, no matter whether they're sensible things to be, and no matter what the evidence says."

Why can't people like you weigh everything up on its merits, rather than thinking that just because you're "left wing", you "have" to think certain things? I agree with the left on some issues, and the right on others. What is wrong with doing that, rather than being obsessed with coming up with the left wing "party line" on absolutely every subject so as not to "let the side down"?

You're a walking stereotype, and in the short time you've been here, you've demonstrated that you're one of the most irritating and thick trolls on this newsgroup, which is saying a *hell* of a lot, believe me. Admittedly you're not a malicious, detestable, lying mass murderer by proxy like Chapman, you're just very, very unenlightened and boring.

Cameras kill, whether you're left wing or not. Accept it.
