Sadly, I had to go to work and missed all of the coppers and most of it after that too. However it does seem that the Murdochs carried the day and that even Brooks escaped with her life. What a useless load of wastrels the committee idiots were. <br /><br />And not one of them had the skill to penetrate past the first wall of defence. Dumb buggers. You trip the blighters not by pompously asking "Yes or No?" "Sorry, it's not like that...." Ask nice open questions - lots of them in a row, get them talking, get them into expansive mode. The fuckers will hang themselves if given enough rope. Still, are we surprised? We are not.mongoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173341928744479143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-25841217486700787942011-07-19T15:37:10.021+01:002011-07-19T15:37:10.021+01:00Duvets?

Myself, ...Hello, Serious Agatha, you have returned! Myself, I have never been gone, although often forgotten. I, too, have railed against the supremacy of the duvet. What happened? There we all were, sleeping neatly tucked in beneath our sheets, blankets and eiderdowns, and then, suddenly in the sixties, we had to throw them all away and substitute for them an enormous marshmallow thing of no substance but great heat, requiring covering in a giant fabric envelope designed to baffle and frustrate the most industrious of bed-makers, bestowing many a slipped disc as the proud householder struggled to fit the enormous marshmallow into the cover. I recall Christine somebody of Borsetshire was injured in precisely that fashion when sulky George, her husband from the wrong side of the tracks, or stables, did not enter whole-heartedly into the operation. How is one supposed to wash the thing? It certainly does not fit into my washing machine. And I simply cannot go to the laundrette. You just do not know what other laundrette users have been washing in there. No, I throw mine away and buy a new one rather than tackle the cleaning conundrum posed by that invention of the foreign devil:the duvet. If there is any power in the Samizdat of the blogosphere, let us unite in throwing off this oppression. Now, there is a cause for which assembling the barricades is justified.Forgotten but not Gonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-14092877315549761382011-07-19T13:53:55.159+01:002011-07-19T13:53:55.159+01:00"Welcome to life outside the Matrix, oh sleep..."Welcome to life outside the Matrix, oh sleeping people of Britain."<br />That's right, Mr. Barnum. It is very scary. Nothing is as it seems. There is a conspiracy of lies. Our job is to behave ourselves,keep on spending and paying the tax. In all probability, given the evidence around us, we are constructs in a market research programme or a weather-projection study. During my six-and-a-bit decades nothing has changed in essence: black babies continue to die in Africa, however much charitable funding is raised; armies wage war in order to support a national interest in the goods & wealth of the "enemy"; police and politicians are corrupt, bribe-taking parasites; the economy is manipulated by the shadowy, powerful aliens from Planet Zog...where do you stop? Oh, yes, the frilly, inconsequential bits have improved - our bread and circuses are the electronic toys,sex-without-babies, celebrities, cookery programmes, reality TV, cheap booze'n'drugs, duvets and a whole industry of designer duvet covers and coordinated bedrooms - all to keep us quiet, content with our lot, conformist... and a scandal from time to time to keep our thoughts away from what is really happening outside the Matrix...Agathanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-18128368005044379752011-07-19T11:36:02.541+01:002011-07-19T11:36:02.541+01:00Sorry, the "Cok" is meant to be a "...Sorry, the "Cok" is meant to be a "double entendre" of course.Oldrightiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03192587284458430556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-45037285731982521962011-07-19T11:35:20.752+01:002011-07-19T11:35:20.752+01:00Surely Cok'Ed won't miss the photo op?Surely Cok'Ed won't miss the photo op?Oldrightiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03192587284458430556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-23821549938746104162011-07-19T09:58:22.141+01:002011-07-19T09:58:22.141+01:00They do not take oaths to tell the truth to mendac...They do not take oaths to tell the truth to mendacious MPs, so lying to a Parliamentary committee is merely bad form, not illegal.<br /><br />Today will be a constant mantra of 'No comment' and 'I don't remember'.
