    You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

    I enjoyed the Ann Summers advert that came up when I looked at the Guido link. That's not the only thing that came up.

      Hey Bogey,

      Are you the same bogey @ guido?
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                Yeah right. She is an unreconstructed leftie who has no interest in the poor other than to use them as a stick with which to beat the rich and capitalism:


                The latest disaster is Downing Street's mishandling of a windfall tax on energy companies. The idea was allowed to run until the last moment, suggesting £1bn of unearned profits might be taken to ease the pain of the poorest. Downing Street started the talk of issuing energy vouchers to the needy, and only days ago denied the idea was dead. When Compass, the left-of-centre pressure group, gathered a great popular petition in support of it, endorsed by 122 MPs, several parliamentary private secretaries and, privately, many ministers, it looked like pushing at an open door. After all, Brown himself was the architect of that £5bn windfall on the utilities.

                  I can't work out whether you mean that to be ironic or not.

                  I may not agree with her politics, but I have few doubts that it is based upon a genuine conviction, even if she does use it to further her own career.

                  But what benefit would accrue on the poor by her not doing so? If she didn't continually increase her status, no-one would listen to her and debate her views. And contributing her salary to the cause would be a piss-pot in the ocean.

                    I'll look forward to reading that.

                    Hey, you're not "old holborn" are you? That was a classic rant of his there the other day. I wish I'd kept it, but I can't now find it (and can't be arsed to look too hard.)
