Writer (satire and crime), reader, hippy, vegetarian, animal lover, gardener (sort of). I wrote a novel about Brexit but please don't hold that against me.
@andyburnham@Tony_Walley Don’t kid yourself. In order to build trust you need to be transparent, only that way can a problem (if one exists) be identified and resolved. You are not being transparent, you are being manipulative. So you are no different from the other lot who were just as bad
