    It was last Christmas. I was invited to a Christmas curry lunch and and evening Mexican meal. Well I din't want to turn it down so I went to both.

    I can tell come Sunday the battle that followed consumed one toilet roll in a single session.

          Isn't that most people's job already? Computer says no.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            Well, ISTR that Blair wanted to bring in a law that would facilitate the locking up of anyone showing a preponderance for any potentially violent psychotic disorder.

            Noa just think how that could be abused! Hmmm.. the possibilities are endless...

              He also tried really hard to be able to lock up anyone for 90 days without trial for no reason whatsoever.

              Perhaps the biggest battle of the 21st century will be the same as the biggest battle of the 20th century: against the scurge of nationalism. Hopefully it'll be less violent this time.

                about 4 minutes, first thing I thought about when I saw that story:

                  Labour also tried to introduce in effect a Statute of Proclamations, which would have allowed them to make up new laws on the hoof without having to bother Parliament.

                    It's between "Who wants to be Jihadi" and "Battle of the bulge"

                    At the moment it looks like the latter is going to kill off more of the population
                    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.
