Lots and lots of analysis of the problem but as you say no solutions. I should say "used to find" because I stopped reading it many years ago because of this. Poly Toynbee was the main culprit ISTR. Yes. I can see you wanting some journalist to give you a nice easy solution. Problem stating is very easy Ideal for useless lefties. Very easy to describe a problem. Exactly so I don't need to read pages and pages of whining to know what it is. Knowing how to solve it a different matter. That requires specialist skills. Just why you expect a journalist to have them I'm not quite clear. Perhaps you've been reading the Mail etc for too long. They tend to give the solution to a problem their readers just know is right. I forget, you've never worked in the real world. -- bert |

But chose to read it anyway. I told you, not any more. But still feel the need to bring it up on a group where it is totally OT. Wishing to inflict on others things you no longer read.
