Exactly. How much discussion have you stirred up? Virtually none. Because your garrulity smothers it. If you have a point to make about Blair's impending conversion, why not make it? Make it simple, and at least marginally contentious, and you might spark some kind of Socratic debate that will be interesting and enlightening to all.

My aim is not simple mockery, but to point out the error of your ways. Being a Scot, I tend to take a proprietary interest in what is being said under the rubric of my national identity. I'd hate people to plug into this and imagine that all Scots are as turgidly opinionated as your own good self.
