There is a danger that a narrow base produces a misleading impression of real public opinion. viz: " Read Peter Hitchens comments, he speaks definitely for the people I mix with socially and professionally", on your Kennedy post a comment.<BR/><BR/>If I were a New Labour spin doctor I would be copying and pasting many of the comments posted by your correspondents and passing them on to whichever constituency you get.
