You? when I saw you in the flesh I was frankly surprised that you were not Ann Widdecombe based on your expressed political views. This is probably offensive in several ways, for which I a sorry, but it's also true.

Just try not to stop questioning and thinking would be the only favour I'd ask if I thought you'd do me any. Take nothing on faith and don't be afraid to admit you're wrong, because you will be, often.
