I cannot help admiring the patience and self-restraint of An Englishman, whose mild remark upon this piece of outrageous authoritarian drivel from the Times, which he has had the broadminded tolerance, dedication to duty and closely-controlled blood pressure to read and comment upon, is:
And what’s the weather like on the planet you live on? I only ask pretending to be interested because I never want to visit or live there. Twat.
Frankly, my own version of this would have been:
And what’s the exact location of the planet you live on? I only ask out of curiosity because I have recently built a vast interplanetary battle-station and would rather like to test its main armament. Signed: D. Vader (Mr.)
I am not going to attempt to fisk the Times article because I have not yet taken the relevant medication and promised the doctors, etc. etc. In fact I am going out into the garden. We have taken about as much of this wealth-redistribution crap from socialist slugs as we are prepared to take.
