News contributors - I want to propose something...
For the next week, can we try altering our responses so that we only address the question raised, ignoring the temptation to score points, engage in one-upmanship, or make personal digs.
This isn't a criticism of anyone in particular, because God only knows I'm as guilty as anyone...
I just want to see whether it gets more interesting if we focus on the issues, and leave everything else aside.
In the spirit of this, I will not make disparaging remakes about the Daily Mail, UKIP, knuckle-draggers etc.
Of course, if it renders the News section boring, we can all go back to hurling barely disguised insults at each other.
