In fairness to our friends on the other side of the Atlantic, we ought to point out that Nick Cohen would never, ever be thought of as the equivalent (politically, economically or morally) of an American "neo-conservative" here in Britain. It is typically American and politically naive to assume that somene is a neocon, simply because he writes books and articles condemning Tony Blair's New Labour Party. If you knew anything, you'd know that most on the political left in the UK complain about New Labour, whom they see as having moved so far to the Right that they are no longer Left, and usually the further 'Left' they are, the more they complain. The fact that Roy Hattersley, the Washington Post, the Guardian, Harold Pinter and the like are quoted on his site as being enormously admiring of his work should have informed you, but of course you just took the simplistic view of things, as usual.

You may wish to use your knowledge to put constructive edits into the article and help to give a fuller understanding for our readers. I think you may find it to be more rewarding than statements like "If you knew anything" that serve no apparent positive purpose. Learn together 20:41, 18 July 2007 (EDT)

Thank you for the invitation to edit - I was hesitant, as CP seems a rather terrifyng place. I'll make one or two little changes then. BritLibDem 20:55, 18 July 2007 (EDT)

Sorry Conservapedia comes across a bit scary, but your knowledge and insights honestly presented are appreciated. There are certain styles of edits that are frowned upon, but information respectfully entered in good faith is always sought after. Peace to you as you learn "the ropes". ;-) Learn together 21:52, 18 July 2007 (EDT)
