[Margaret Pilkington]

Cashy...there is nowhere I have suggested or implied that you are anything less than honest.
I can not comment on the things you have seen....but do not doubt for one minute that you have seen them and experienced them...and that is why you hold the opinions that you do.

When I said I had a 'sneaking admiration' for MT...it was not as a politician, but as a strong woman in a world that was hostile to women. A world that was difficult even for strong men(of which, at that time, there were few in politics...much like now really...the majority of politicians of all colours are lily livered sneeks only set on doing what is best for them...not the country).
I admired her focus and the fact that she would not be deflected from her aims.
I did not support or admire those aims...but do not feel that I have to justify myself.
