“Political lying is a form of theft. It means that voters make democratic judgments on the basis of falsehoods. Their rights are stripped away.”
~ philosopher Sissela Bok, summarised by Peter Oborne in his op-ed 'It’s not just Boris Johnson’s lying. It’s that the media let him get away with it'

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
