Thanks for joining me!
I started this blog principally so that I could publish my argument for leaving the EU.
After setting up this account, I started thinking of other things I wanted to write about. I mainly write about The Left (criticisms), or Government incompetence or tales of hypocrisy. The culture wars are also something that cannot be avoided. Quotes are good, also and I use them regularly: either quotes from articles that make a useful point far better than I could, or else famous quotes from history that show there is nothing new under the sun.
The main reason I write these pieces is to marshall my thoughts. Writing my thoughts on a subject also leads me to other, related thoughts. I find its a good way to think more deeply about an issue and consider the strengths and weaknesses in my position. It also helps me in debates with people as I will almost certainly have considered something in more detail, thanks to this blog, than the person I am engaging. Plus, the blog will include links that I can pull up to ram my case home.
A blog gives me the liberty to strengthen any weaknesses. For that reason, these blogs are works-in-progress. I often return to a blog piece and enhance it if i have received inspiration from somewhere. For example, sometimes I re-write something that was clumsily written. Or I will add a link to a related article. Sometimes, I will think of a point that I didn’t include initially. Mostly, these changes are invisible to the reader.
Thanks for looking.
Feedback is appreciated.
