Well, those are pretty loaded options, aren't they, Compassionist? How about adding (in no particular order): * I have the alimentary canal and dentition of an omnivore. * I find that a balanced high-protein, low carb diet is easier to achieve if I eat animal products. * I care about environment-da...

Re: Brexit News For Brexiteers, please see the link
How interesting. A whole slew of Tory MPs cam eon the radio yesterday and today, stating that MPs are capable of changing their minds in the face of new information and, therefore, should be able to vote again. But the same MPs believe that "the people" should not be given that opportunity. How asto...

If I felt the story needed telling and this was the only way I could get it told, then I'd seriously consider taking as much of their filthy lucre as possible and donating it to some worthwhile outfit that they loathe.
