Why on earth do you have to be: 1. Bloody rude? 2. Bloody ignorant?
For your impoverished information: 1. I read the Guardian & quite like it. 2. I also read the Independent, in particular the ME correspondent. 3. I think that most UK papers are predictable about their stances. And that is for the worst. I am pleased, but concerned that you actually count the words that I write. Do you have any other bizarre fetishes, that you care to admit to?
