I rest my shoddy plastic Aldi carrier bag !

During a fairly imsomnic night last, I decided after nearly overdosing on toast
and marmite to play with my little short wavy thing in bed instead. Yes the
amazing British Talk Sport radio phone in, known to all and sundrie as the Voice
of UK (overseas), Without going into all the old prejudices once again about its
quality, or rather lack of, one must admit that in between barrages of horrible
verts, there's some amusing entertainmment to be had with a lot of patience
required to-boot, innit. Some of the caller's (under 30) reminded me of exactly
(to a tee)the same old voices and arguments ? cum bigotry that I'd grown up with
myself in London town many moons afore, I think my favourite was a 25 year old
from Birmingham insisting (really arguing his point with righteousness³ or I'll
chin yer) that John Major had taken Britain into the EU and it's all the Tories
fault, innit ! Then Mick from Swindon (no relation ?) harping on about our Tone
losing his Sedgefield seat soon, etc, etc.
These vents for angry self-opinionated
self-important (like me) righteous Citizens (like the Padded Cell on occassion)
are I think very important tools for folk to air their views either verbally or
written. Just as a reminder top most of us on this forum that we are not exactly
representative of the UK today, and God help us if we really think we are (even
though I'm ace too and that's indesputable !)innit.

The art of expression, let alone communication, by the spoken and written word is, alas, beyond most of us, once passions become aroused. In point of fact, it seems to be well beyond many of us most of the time, myself included.
For those that missed it, as a result of the other thread being closed, I offer my apologies for any disturbance I may have caused in your cosy, somnambulent lives. My parallels were obtuse, my wit not remotely sharp enough and my legendary inability to "stop digging" must remain a personal cross."Sorry!"

Thankyou Jon. That is very kind.
I expressed myself particularly badly. Of course I wasn't suggesting that the Israelies were running death camps. I simply used the persecution angle without due consideration or sufficient forethought. I shall endeavour to be more careful.
