Maybe it has to be accepted that no matter how well-intended the amateurs are, it requires a professional - and a closely supervised one - to avoid making a bad situation worse. <br /><br />I have to confess that I thought that all the great and the good around her meant that it must be doing something worthwhile. Turns out it was more of a frottage fest with them all furiously engorging each other's egos.

Winner's justice it is true but that's the easy half of halfway there.<br /><br />It's the fuckers who lead the gig who need dragging into the light of day. I find the persecution of some old WWII bastard who used to stand at a sentry post in the cold while vile things happened inside a compound to be just beside the point. Mobilise a whole country to a purpose and ordinary people will do extraordinary things. And some of these will be vile. Good people in extremis will do bad things sometimes, and these bad things will happen to good and bad people alike.<br /><br />Of course, you're right, it won't happen to Blair. They are even too busy heaping villainy upon the dead, asexual Ted Heath to even fess up to the real live actual beast in Parliament now. And every journalist knows his name. It's a proxied search away from any of us. It needs burning down and St J unleashing a force he doesn't understand is our current best hope. Such as it is.

Gimme all that lovely money too, it is my just reward for my triumphant compromising. Thirty pieces?

He is not so verminous as Byers and Milburn and Hewitt but he's closer by light years to them than to you and I. And anyway, Gove is an orphan, too.

Windmills, gay marriages, a religion of peace, hard-working families, "the investment". The infiltration of thought by sounbbitten bollocks. It has been a long march through the institutions - and it has led us here to watch the revolution eat itself. <br /><br />StJ is as much the enemy of Blair as he is of Thatcher, and the Luvvies don't get that. Because the emotion attaches itself to the red rosette rather than anything it represents, or represented, they cannot now see that they have become if not Tories, at least conservative. Alan Johnson, an orphan, brought up by his sister in circumstances we don't have to guess at, a postman, a Marxist, and now a pillar of don't-rock-the-boat orthodoxy. There is more fucking socialism in me - and there isn't much, is there? - than there is in him. But that's what you get for being a cunt and deciding to build a party of similar. It's like Primary Colours, so it is, Father.mongoosenoreply@blogger.com
