An interesting question.
I'd be interested to hear the view of people who don't like you.
My take on it is that there are various reasons. Its about Class basically. Now I know members of thee CRUMBLIES don't believe Class exists anymore no doubt after being brainwashed by John Major who then totally disproved the theory by blathering on about Vicars on bicycles waving cheerily to Cricketers on Village Greens whilst the Women were safely ensconced in the background making buttered scones and cups of hot tea.
Now in actuality I reckon the majority of thee Crumblies are ex-Public School Boys from a rather privileged background. They are in essence "Champagne Socialists"..thee Chattering Classes..thee Islington Elite made manifest. Certainly Al Johnson is a Public Schoolboy or at the very least had a privileged background. We can deduce the fact for the knowledge that Rowing was a major sport and that the humble game of Footie wasn't on the agenda.
Now as Newcastle is a working class area that is a hotbed of Football we may well allow ourselves to raise an eyebrow here.
I think when you've lived in places where there is no privacy and the neighbours are popping in and out and the houses are very cramped you get used to the rough and tumble. The only difference is that as soon as possible I went to the opposite extreme and held my privacy dear to an extent that I appear to becoming known as Bachelor Boy Daz here amongst the woods and cheery trees provide thee cloistered surrounds of thee Daz Pad. In contrast you were cooped up in the Navy and the females don't seem to understand a certain brusqueness - and neither to Public Schoolboys! - Al Johnson is one of the few ppl to sneer at the cliche of calling "a spade a spade" as if its a negative. It is of course a positive trait.
In short we're used to the rough and tumble, don't take ourselves too seriously because thats how we were brought up..its Nurture and not simply Nature. On that basis I'd suspect that Sandy and possibly Exco are from silar beginnings. I mean thats my rough guess.
As for JSG they're somewhat blinkered but then so are the liberal con-men on the Crumblies. Look at the way they distort the facts. Arena and Exco are all too keen to jump on Davie Boy (who isn't much cop to be honest) even when he sacks a member of the Cabinet for making what is obviously a silly mistake rather than a 'racist comment'.
Therefore the truth is somewhere inbetween. Sandy understands that to an extent, Arena & Exco are completely bent and almost downright liars. They condemn the Tories for trivia and minor headlines whilst completely ignoring blatant lies and corruption in the Labour Party. In short..if they were here I'd kick ass.
In no way are they as astute as the JSG liberals. Cahen is quite smart but sticks to his knowledge of the Koran to get by - in other words the game is always played on his turf. (I haven't personally read the Quaran/Koran). Plucking a few sentences from a book is more than dubious as we know for the Bible. Its open to interpretation and Cahen uses this as his main weapon.
Its a lot better despite the two extremes. Since I've been on theres been more of a balance..a few people there like Chris Lord, RV and Cahen will back you up. Its a question of shifting the balance away from the BNP extremists who I have no time for. I know JSG is keen for more left wings views.
There is no way you'll be banned from there...occasionally they imposes a handy one day ban to cool off. A very good idea. James St.George himself is a very fair man. And fellow Tory!
