      Good old days.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          Yep, Hezzer quit because the old witch wanted to flog us off to the yanks.

          I can't image any politician being so patriotic these days, they'd sell us all off to bob to keep global corps happy.

            Patriotism, principals, passion, belief - none of them even comprehend the concepts.
            OK possibly a bit unfair - I am sure there are some politicians that do still have honour etc but there are a lot of snouts in troughs!

            In the good old days you knew most politicians believed in what they said - You might not agree with them but thats a different issue. Labour, Tory and even Libs seemed to actually mean what they said.

            Possibly a touch of rose tinted specs for the good old days, but not totally.

              There's Ken Clarke and... no, can't think of any more?
