Meme a little meme of me
Tom Papworth wants to know ten things I would never do, but doesn't think I'll answer. Let me try and boost that self-esteem.
- Trust anything Polly Toynbee says at face value (obviously)
- Ignore facts when trying to make up my mind on difficult issues
- Assume that logic is the only way of persuading people of something
- Respect people who make accusations and then change the subject when they are challenged to produce evidence
- Think I have all the answers
- Stop getting angry when I read factual inaccuracies in the press -- anywhere in the press, but especially in organs I respect
- Forget that quote attributed to Keynes: "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"
- Shrug my shoulders, grin and bear it when others' selfishness inconveniences me
- Be able to withstand a determined and well-informed charge of hypocrisy
- Pass on this meme to others.

You're right not to pass on the meme. I'm starting to feel guilty myself!
I shouldn't have distracted you from the good fight. Keep up the good work.
Tom -- Don't be silly! I was merely being a little arch with my last choice...
Very nice poost
