Very interesting Iain. Doubtless your thoughts will be communicated in due course.
I found some new blogs as a result of the survey which might prove interesting, or not....
These are eventful times we are experiencing. As one who is about to become an OAP the political scene and the consequences thereof are making my second childhood as challenging as my first for different reasons.
Having marked Ted Heath down as the worst PM ever - for selling our Cornish fishing industry down the Swanee as the price of joining the EU - it was a surprise to see him left floundering in a very distant second place to the truly awful Great Leader ( and thief of £12K of taxpayers' money, even if repaid) G Brown who should be banished permanently to Rockall.
Rock on.
