Who is and who isn't? Apparently my best days are behind me though! Haha. You're telling me!
There are probably those who think I'm a troll. And I've met a few online entities on here that perhaps have a few troll-like tendencies. But ...... Sure, I've never really had much idea who or who isn't a troll myself. I can only say, that just like most people you have to live and learn as you go along. In which case, I probably have a bit more idea than when I was younger. But it's a bit like reds under the bed and rabid right-wingers. They probably want us to believe they're trolls, in much the same way that Superman wants to be viewed as superhuman. But I don't think we really gain anything by buying into their crappy mythology. And our less than lovely political parties all seem to be in a complete tiswas about how much trollism is acceptable to the fickle electorate. Populism and trollism seem to have gone hand-in-hand since Michael put his Foot in it by wearing a supposed Burberry 'donkey jacket' to Remembrance Day at the Cenotaph. I wonder a bit if the term 'android' isn't better. We've had a succession of androids as PM since then. ;-) Androids hired cynically by our crappy newspaper barons. Murdoch and Maxwell are/were undoubtedly trolls. :-)
I actually admire Foot a lot. I have an excellent biography of him on my shelf. I also have one volume of his own writing on Aneurin Bevan. I did wonder if you were trying to troll me by mentioning it but how would you possibly know what i have on my shelves? :)
