Identical Posters.
'Spawn of Scabbie' hurt my feeling earlier by suggesting that i have made over 3000 identical posts.
Of course, he was actually objecting to the ideological underpinnings that support much of what i have to say.
Which got me contemplating..
Prior to reading any thread, or post, i look at who has initiated it. Usually, because i've been around a while, i can more or less predict what 'the line' will be from identifying the originator. So, as an illustration - Patrick will offer 'right wing' libertarianism often laced with attempts at humour.
Perhaps, in the future, in order to satisfy 'Spawn of Scabbie's' desire for non repetition, and to introduce a certain streamlining into the Soapbox, rather than offering any long (or short) winded contributions of sameness, we should all agree to simply recording our 'handles'.
It could go along the lines of:
Patrick, redcogs, Patrick, spire, ankev, Gaz, rothbook, mjones, NickM, redcogs, simoncp, papercorn, Tourist, canrider etc etc (obviously, many names are omitted, apologies for that, but, you will appreciate, i am seeking to reduce the time wasting and carbonfootprint element of contributing here).
The future looks bright.

now is this post a genuine attempt to genuinely appease the masses (surely you must recall even the great Lenin had his statues pulled down; even after all the good he did...)
or is it an attempt to massage a bruised ego?
I think the latter [:)]

For many topics this would work. For example, grammar schools:
spire
gillan
spire
patrick
cometgirl
redcogs
spire
and everybody knows what we mean.
However, there is a major problem in certain areas. For example, when it comes to Sustainable Development, I might want to give you a gillan, or even a Flying Monkey (if I want to explain my position at length).0 -

In the Democratic People's Republic of Britain, there will be a redistribution of emotions. Those who decadently flitter between emotions will have all excess emotions removed whilst emotionless comrades will be issued with a requisitioned emotion. Whilst the Emotion and Well-being Commissars will endeavour to issue you with the emotion of your choice, it would do you well to think of those less fortunate than yourself and to enjoy your emotion - whatever it may be.
You may now return to your labouring.

i know what you mean papercorn, those of wealth might have some short term value as financiers of the co-operative project.

revolutionaries are known to have a strong sense of priorities Patrick. Lenin didn't ask the Romanov's to leave until they had helped to finance the future of Russia..

Ask them to leave !!??
He had them murdered and their bodies dropped down a mineshaft.
What establishements do you frequent that would "ask you to leave" in such a manner?

BTW - The Romanov's were only 'asked to leave' when they had been refused the chance of a safe home with the British Royals - by the British Royals.
Nice to see the international aristo establishment sticking so firmly together.

A relief. I had a vision of the curry houses in your neck of the woods, late at night, everyone's had a few drinks, a few bread rolls get thrown.
And then people are "asked to leave"...........
