I have friends who were in the forces who have no time for "liberals", I have Tory friends who love Thatcher (I loathe her) whilst I work with a Labour councillor who is always attacking the Lib Dems (his is a lib dem/lab marginal ward), but I can also accept that they all, yes ALL have some good qualities. <br /><br />I think that is what I tried to make clear in this posting. I think Iain knows that should he campaign in this area again, I will continue to oppose him because I do not like the Tory Party and what it stands for. However, I don't need to have a blanket policy of loathing all Conservatives.<br /><br />I appreciate your comments though.Nich Starlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237390959601973501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33696095.post-29186851418005448242006-10-23T17:34:00.000+01:002006-10-23T17:34:00.000+01:00Nick, it may be Stokholme syndrome by proxy.This i...Nick, it may be Stokholme syndrome by proxy.This is when you're nowhere near Stockholme but think you are.<br /><br />You think Iain is a great guy.Funny coincidence that, because Iain thinks he is too!<br /><br />Personally, I think the Liberal who placed the glass coffee table under Mark Oaten-but above the masochist underneath-was extremely thoughtful. Thats what you call a nice guy, Nick!!<br /><br />Get him going about Portillo and Thatcher. Sit back and draw a proper conclusion.<br /><br />Personally, I think all three are twats.<br /><br />GaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33696095.post-14061326980436811312006-10-23T15:48:00.000+01:002006-10-23T15:48:00.000+01:00Interesting views.

Yes I k...Nick, it's called the Stockholm syndrome.<br /><br />Yes I know, I'm left wing and a nutter.<br /><br />You're falling for it hook line and sinker.<br /><br />Whether Iain is a nice man or not is not the issue. It's what he says and writes.<br /><br />Personally, I think what he writes is insulting. He helped you once, so you think he's a great guy.<br /><br />You can't be wrong.<br /><br />garyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33696095.post-2872137391736828752006-10-22T23:27:00.000+01:002006-10-22T23:27:00.000+01:00hate is a strong word.

In the same as in Norwich South the Tories are frothing at the mouth about Simon Wright standing, having an opponent stand up against you gives you a target, and in that sense, Iain became my target.

It is always easier when you really can't stand your political opponents because it blinds you from seeing the good in anything they might do. Anyway, I'm glad that you have written this.
