She only ever speaks in cliché and platitudes. She is truly without substance. A façade. And personally, I think most unattractive. Again irrelevant but so often brought up by her fans.. 'Oh she so so pretty ..' Nah.<br /><br />No GS you really miss the point when it comes to liberalism. I know you cannot believe it but we do not give a shit for your group identity. We solely judge you on your individual merit and character. Just as Chris says. Merit trumps all, as in nature. We are animals after all.<br />So in the wild, your survival would seriously be in doubt.<br />Thank our excellent J-C culture for your life mate.charles enoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-74301146059047885012019-07-29T10:33:02.688+12:002019-07-29T10:33:02.688+12:00If you enjoyed Albert and the Lion or felt terribl...If you enjoyed Albert and the Lion or felt terribly miserable - you will be overjoyed to hear how He Came Back. And just when Ma and Pa were going to collect on the insurance too. It could turn out like that in Britain; just when the Don Insurance Coy slips a brown plastic bag to the Cons. the true UK will rise again, and save the day. Now kiddies, wasn't that a lovely story. And to help you smile again there are a lot of old fashioned cheeky postcards wot the yeomen of England used to enjoy back in their days of innocence and simplicity.<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rDcTDURTkkgreywarblernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-51208264362337928442019-07-28T14:36:27.964+12:002019-07-28T14:36:27.964+12:00So you are defending the way Simon Bridges speaks....So you are defending the way Simon Bridges speaks.<br /><br />That is odd.<br /><br />In your 4 October, 2018 post titled "National's Little-Boy-Lost" you made reference to his "appalling diction". <br /><br />You were right, his diction is appalling.

I haven'...Oh God, a panegyric to Boris Johnson. I haven't laughed so much in years. It is definitely interesting. <br />The writer seems however to have completely forgotten the fact that: <br /><br />1.Boris organised to get a journalist beat up. Only to the point of broken limbs I guess.<br />2. His broken more promises than Donald Trump, I could list them but there is a word limit.<br />3. He was sacked by the Times for making shit up.<br />4. Max Hastings, his ex-boss who is by no means a Communist, considers him unfit to be prime minister.<br />5. When he was Foreign Minister he managed to insult much of the Commonwealth – the bit that wasn't white – of course many people consider this a feature rather than a bug, but he also managed to get some poor incarcerated in Iran's jail term increased by making stupid statements.<br />6. He wasted 37 million pounds on a bridge that was never built – a vanity project and not the only one.<br />I could easily increase the size of this list but I won't bother. All I can say is that it's a sad reflection on British society in general and the Tory party in particular that <br />they will elect someone to public office who has a total lack of ethics. And I'm not just talking about the fact that he can't keep his Johnson where it belongs, but he has nothing in the way of broader ethical behaviour which you should look for in a politician. I think the best one word description I came across was "mountebank". Well it was the politest anyway. He's another one of these spurious men of the people, privileged and entitled who pretends to drink pints of beer and deliberately messes his hair before he presents himself for an interview – a complete fraud, and the Conservative party should be ashamed of themselves for electing such.If I had some animus towards the Brits, this is a very prime minister I would wish on them. But still, he does provide me with some innocent amusement.Guerilla Surgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427876447124021423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-12011105726357801652019-07-25T21:09:32.174+12:002019-07-25T21:09:32.174+12:00"Wot about Oly oaks plum n da froat den eh......"Wot about Oly oaks plum n da froat den eh....an den Moledoon, bluddy provokadiv fukker he waz......"Katnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-81798011767238466052019-07-25T15:47:24.462+12:002019-07-25T15:47:24.462+12:00Mock away Greens.

"<br /><br />Beyond wrong. Neoliberalism as a "philosophy" can't care for anything. But neoliberals on the other hand definitely do. Just take one example, after how many years of neoliberal governments have we had at the moment? Since nineteen eighty-four? How come women is wages are still way behind men's? How come there are so few women on boards? It's all pretense, and subordinate to the old boys' club.Guerilla Surgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427876447124021423noreply@blogger.com
