Might try and put something together. Basically I’m a very left wing socialist, ready to listen, discuss, be wrong, though I know what I believe in, which is fair play, tolerance and kindness. I hate bullies, dictators and bigots. I'm also, now, old. 81 to be exact and bloody furious, not about being old, which is no different than to have red hair, blue eyes or a genetic predisposition to have smelly wee when I eat asparagus. I'm cross about assumptions that the elderly are somehow mentally, morally different, are all a bit thick or even worse, cute. Or all vote Tory. Or are somehow not the same person they always were, with merely maybe a duff back, or like me, a former English teacher and still a writer, prone to hitting the wrong key and making the odd typo.

Here endeth the rant. For now.
