I think that is mostly my position. I mean, I'm totally happy to disagree with friends about the best way to achieve a goal - indeed I think it is best if there is a diversity of opinions about "how to achieve this goal" so that we can try out a bunch and see what works. And I'm happy to disagree about what goals are THE MOST IMPORTANT goal to spend my/the government's time/energy/money on, because obviously there are limited resources to spend and lots of important goals...
But I'm not happy to "agree to disagree" when the fundamental goal is "people like me should be barefoot, pregnant, and making you a sammich" because fuck no.
I think the goal of "reform the EU" is a reasonable one, the goal of "leave the EU" seems sorta stupid but not inherently awful, whilst the goal of "get all the Romanians out" is just horrid.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
