God, Torygraph and Johnson!

[Lucy]

I'm guessing you are approaching 40?

What makes you say that ?

FFS:

In so far as New Labour has a fairy godmother, Polly is the girl. She incarnates all the nannying, high-taxing, high-spending schoolmarminess of Blair's Britain. She is the defender and friend of everyone whose non-job has ever been advertised in the Guardian appointments page, every gay and lesbian outreach worker, every clipboard-toter and pen-pusher and form-filler whose function has been generated by mindless regulation. Polly is the high priestess of our paranoid, mollycoddled, risk-averse, airbagged, booster-seated culture of political correctness and 'elf 'n' safety fascism. In an ideal Polly Toynbee world, private sector broadcasting would be banned, Rupert Murdoch would be nationalised, and the BBC would hire thousands more taxpayer-funded social affairs correspondents to psalm the benefits of social democracy

Well the Tories seem to be looking toward her as a role model.

The reason I bring up age is: people get more right wing and less open to suggestion the older they get. I'm pitching you at late 30s on that scale.

[Lucy]

So called, self styled cut and paster.

I'm very open to suggestion.

However, I have always been tory and am now more interested in Objectivism and politics outside of the left and right...

I'm thirtysomething.

Late 30s? I'm right aren't I. Invariably you get a sense of age from how jaded the poster is.

[Spacecadet]

Boris for PM

So you are 50+ then ?

And why does considering Objectivism make me jaded ?

[Bagpuss]

I'm only asking, most people on here come across as being >50 from an outlook point of view
