The closest that I do to corrosive is the browny-black sludge that is currently running out of the dung heap in the corner of the farmyard & leaching into the aquifer. However trust me when I say that despite the odour & the fact that our local streams are now devoid of any form of life, it is in a good cause … as part of my attempt to create dark matter. As soon as I have managed to make say half a Landrover load, its going straight through the letterbox at the Palace of Westminster in the vainglorious hope that we might be rid of the lot of them in one fail swoop & start saving the taxpayer not insignificant sums of money.

However aside from our perceived cynicism, we also

fuel disengagement by focusing on unearthing scandals, conspiracies & perceived hypocrisy

which again is as wide of the mark as your average French artillery shell. The only fuelling that your humble correspondent would have to admit to in Court is the petrol-air weapon development programme that regular readers will know is going on at the back of the Dutch barn. Come The Glorious Day, forget the representatives of the Caliphate Party & their never ending list of perceived injustices, it is us stout bulldogs that will extract a terrible price from the Comrade Brown & acolytes. But aside from not being true believers in Nu Labour, it seems that we bloggers have

disdain for the political system and politicians

Now that also simply isn’t fair or right. I have neither disdain for our political system nor for politicians – I am however dismayed on a daily basis by the way in with the current regime has sort to erode our beloved freedoms while dismantling so many of the institutions that define once-Great Britain & have served her so well over the years.

Unless and until political blogging 'adds value' to our political culture, by allowing new and disparate voices, ideas and legitimate protest and challenge, and until the mainstream media reports politics in a calmer, more responsible manner, it will continue to fuel a culture of cynicism and pessimism

Adding value? What on earth is that supposed to mean in this context as it is normally only used by failing CEO’s trying to explain where all the shareholders funds have gone. In fact I much prefered cynicism & pessimism because I can promise your all now that I will be the most chipper fellow in the world when I am performing the happy dance on the last socialist control freaks grave.
