Surely having an opinion is the entire purpose of this website, no?

The only opinion of value and I say this about myself as much as anyone else is an opinion that is unbiased.........

If a tory supporter offers an opinion about a labour leader it is obviously of no value because it is not based of fair neutral thinking........Same goes for other party suporters...........Biased opinions have no value as they do not inform or contribute constructively to a conversation

Biased opinion are just a way of making one self feel beter by having a go at something you may not like........

But biased opinions have no constructive value to a conversation of any kind.........

so you completely discount the notion that someone is "biased" towards something because they've put a lot of time and effort into learning about it, and have come to a conclusion based on the facts available?

If that's not cynical, I don't know what is.

There is no such thing as "fair, neutral thinking" since every single person on this planet has an opinion which has been shaped and influenced by their life experiences, their background, their culture etc etc, therefore every single person on this planet is BIASED by your definition and thus NO-ONE'S opinion is of any value to any debate!

Unless you are suggesting that the only opinions of any value to a discussion are those that resonate with your own?

Angus makes perfect sense. IMO.
