Granny Danger Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Decent article, great opening paragraph. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/dec/27/history-britain-ruling-class-created-crisis-boris-johnson-brexit-covid When the novelist John le Carré died earlier this month, among the passages quoted by journalists was a short excerpt from The Secret Pilgrim, published in 1990. In the book, the words are spoken by Le Carré’s fondly loved character George Smiley. “The privately educated Englishman – and Englishwoman, if you will allow me – is the greatest dissembler on Earth,” he says. “Was, is now and ever shall be for as long as our disgraceful school system remains intact. Nobody will charm you so glibly, disguise his feelings from you better, cover his tracks more skilfully or find it harder to confess to you that he’s been a damned fool.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was equally impressed with the 2nd paragraph. Quote The words are a cutting summary of the far-off era of upper class treachery and cold war subterfuge, but also fit the less romantic time of Brexit, the pandemic and a Conservative party whose leadership by two public schoolboys has so pushed us into disaster. Therein lies a huge part of the national tragedy that, amid stranded lorries, a shamefully high death toll and some of the greatest peacetime blunders this country has ever made, has recently seemed to be reaching some kind of awful climax Edited December 28, 2020 by ICTJohnboy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Here did we not get an exceptional few weeks out of calling Tories vermin a while back? I'm sure it was driving someone apoplectic, can't remember who.Let's dangle a bit more bait, then..Tories are vermin. They survive by preying upon the workers of this country. Parasitic scum. I make no apologies for this description, which includes all of them, from that cűnt in No 10, through their elected representatives at all levels, to the idiotic Mail-reading workers who believe that the people after their money and lifestyle arrive in rubber boats rather than private jets and ministerial cars.Cűnts, the lot of them. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
