Cooper, you're partaking in your usual trick of ignoring the matters at hand. I know you're a bright lad and capable of a much higher level of debate but to do that you need to take the Tory blinkers off sometimes and just acknowledge the mess they're making. You often complain about being singled out on here and to a large degree you're right. Some people can't resist asking where the resident Tory is, but equally you've put yourself in the firing line in the way you approach things on here.
You're far from the only Tory on the board but you're the one that most seems to rile other posters and perhaps you need to question why that is? Your blind faith in the Tory party when the country is falling down around our ears, for the most part to do with Tory policy, and unwillingness (most of the time) to engage in actual debate with people puts you in the firing line.
We've exchanged quite a number of messages privately on here and I know you're much better than you actually come across on here at times. Nobody is asking you to change your allegiances or to knock everything the Tories do, you being on here is good for balance and to give us all a different view. You could maybe even make a difference to peoples opinions and thoughts if you challenged things in the right way, or stated your points with resorting to throwaway comments and whataboutery.
For what its worth I think some people need to stop goading you but let's not pretend you don't revel in it at times. You've got it in you to raise the bar when debating and in doing so, it'll cut those who have a go at you off at the knees. They may not agree with you but they'll have to at least respect you've a different point of view without throwing mud at each other all the time.
Hope you and the family are all well, and hope you enjoy the weekend... couple of cheeky ales wouldn't go amiss! Enjoy
