Or was it the other way around? :-S

According to the New Statesman Dr Who is a bit of a lefty. ;-)

There seems to be quite a lot of politics in sci-fi. ;-)

I used to run a pub where religion and politics were left at the door, that way everybody could enjoy the evening.

It amazes me the number of people that go onto threads on here that are obviously about politics and say they don't like talking about politics. :-S

From the Oxford Dictionary

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/Nazi

Nazi
Line breaks: Nazi
Pronunciation: /'n??tsi

/
Definition of Nazi in English:
noun (plural Nazis)
historical
1A member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

Since the Nazi Party were a political party, it would seem self evident that a thread mentioning them would be about politics.

Yes, I've read this before. Their call of ‘Exterminate!’, their obsession with forcible eugenics and their dedication to total conformity.... really gives the game away.

Can you think of another interpretation of that title Rose?

Experienced politicians are good at answering questions without actually answering them.

Not so familiar with experienced with Dalek politicians.

was obviously about me.
Did I know it was about politics
I sort of guessed but the OP didn´t say it was
Why did I join the thread ?
simple to say what I did

By the way I didn´t say I didn´t like talking about politics I said i didn´t allow in my pub as I found the lack of politics and religion made for a better happy evening ;-)

I sometimes have senior moments and think Graham is G007 :-S :-D

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
