People talk about #CentristDads as if we are a species of gently apologetic marsupials.
But we are not.
The centre, as conceived as a position between left and right, no longer exists.
The extremes today are truth and untruth and I am an extremist for truth.

And like many extremists, my extremism is fuelled by anger.
I am angry at the abandonment of even the pretence that politicians are driven by anything other than the rankest self-interest and lust for power.

I am furious that the Labour Party I have voted for all my life has offered no opposition to a pitiful government on the one great issue of state of our time.
I am betrayed by the cowardice of men and women who speak for nothing but the cause of their own re-election.
