One of the best things about threads like this is playing "spot the sock puppet", but also (given spotting them is often all too easy) seeing the tactics they use - including, but not limited to, using the internet to create a "credible" backstory and then inviting readers to check the internet to prove its veracity. Neat.

I guess despite the sizeable superannuated element on here, the potential that even some some serving folk might lurk and read as well as post makes it an especially tempting target. Whenever I see posts that are especially corrosive in relation to UK policy, and which clearly seek to chip away at how people think about it, I stroke the imaginary beard and think hmmm....

None of which is to say that the UK approach doesn't often warrant perfectly valid criticism from the many genuine folk on here. That just adds to the interest of the "spot the sock puppet" game...
