Mac-

Regarding your witty signature.

J.B.S. Haldane, the eminent geneticist said-

Quote:
I agree with Muller when he said that in most existing societies effective fertility is negatively associated with social rank. The same observation was made approximately 2,000 years ago in the statement, "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth."


To which Professor G. Greer remarked-

Quote:
In fact, Christ's words in the Sermon on the Mount are good genetics.


And Jacob Bronowski agreed publicly with Professor Haldane.

On behalf of the meek may I respectfully ask you to try to see that the earth is in good condition for when they do inherit it. Which they will.

The thought of the unmeek inheriting it is extremely disconcerting given their current mode of operation.

This is a historic moment.

Had someone told the lads in the trenches in the 1914-18 war or the lads who fought Hitler that the freedom they were fighting and dying for entailed not being able to have a fag in the pub they would have downed tools and told the authorities to stuff their fewking freedom up their harses.

They would have took their chances with Hitler.

Cars are next. There is such a thing as passive driving. Young children playing in their front gardens near a major arterial thoroughfare are obvious victims of passive driving and the poor sods who live anywhere near airports are victims of passive flying. The dear darling do-gooders are not going to retire now they have won this great victory. There is nothing like a great victory to inflame the control freaks ego to search for ever greater victories.

It is a historic moment. Much more so than a change in the name of the incumbent of No 10 which has very little significance.

It won't be long before you will need a licence to fart.

What we have have is a sort of Hitler that is so diffused that it is impossible to focus the sights on

I ought to have added that the rest of us are in the pub paying the taxes to pay the overtime claims which, given Darwinian exigencies, will be astronomical and somewhat astounding.

I have discovered that it is politically incorrect, possibly actionable, to refer to us as Brits anymore. We are B*its or Br*ts or Bri*s just like those people one sees dressed in outlandish garments are P*kis or Pa*is or Pak*s.

One is now supposed to say that the w*gs begin at Watford.

We are okay, of course, and it's kind of you to mention it. But this piddling little problem will cause 100,000 Americans to cancel their flights to the UK. Don't you (all) think we over-react to these misguided folk?

As corporal Jones and the lugubrious Scot Pte Fraser said in Dad's Army,

"Don't panic!" and "We're all doomed"

On a happier note, given the amount of evidence available this time, the boys in blue won't be too long bringing this lot to book. And the courts will make an example of them.

So what.

If the courts do make an example of them.

That's more money gone. They have an endless supply of suicide bombers. You don't think that the courts making an example of them at a cost of £50 grand a year whilst they play pool, eat our harvest and warm themselves by our fires, a disputed point, is going to worry them do you? It might be considered the safest place to be for some.

They should be ignored. It is you lot making this big deal over their activities that is the real problem whether it is for more money or to sound more virtuous or loyal matters not a jot.

You concerned, righteous know-alls are sitting ducks to an intelligent enemy.

Well, that had been really something severe.

It might be well more serious than the bomb on I biza airport yesterday - at least the Spanish got a warning, the airport was closed early enough and the bomb could be found.

I'm not sure, if it's really overreaction. But certainly it is some kind of panic with many.
And such will led to more people getting panic. ...

I truely believe, we all have to be get customed to changing realities.

Sad.

There hasn't been anything at all in Tenerife by ETA [so far], if I recall that correctly.
