The Political Thread

I can only read that as either A) genuinely suggesting murder or B) making a joke about murder.  Either way, it's in poor taste. Any sentence that begins with "What the IRA should have done..." should trigger alarm bells in that part of one's mind that filters the output.  Do you have that?

I didn't read it like that at all - it seemed to me a valid point about strategy. In any armed struggle, the ordinary people (in chip shops) tend to suffer far more than the ruling elites (in Corpus Christi), which is  crazy because it's the elites who cause all the trouble in the first place. Ordinary people, by and large, just don't care about who rules where and just want to live in peace and safety.

Elites have better security than people in chip shops.

[The Legendary Shark]

And better chips.

[TordelBack]

I strongly doubt that. The best chips are always to be found in the grungiest chipper. There's nothing worse than a gentrified chip.

There's also nothing wrong with going to Oxford per se, it's a very fine university once you past all the institutional bollocks and the tendency for the rich to foist their disprortionately inadequate children on its negotiable mercies in the hope that a posh-sounding degree will make up for a complete absence of learning.

Actually, you're right. Furthermore, I have never been able to make a bacon buttie as good as those made by greasy ragamuffins  in greasy roadside vans.

I really like your posts, Funt, but part of your brain is missing. This keeps on happening to you.

*mutter* *mumble*  ... dredging up something I said last October and calling it a pattern ... *winge* *moan*

A good chip is better than a good french fry.

Xenophobia now? Tsk, tsk...

Well, nobody likes pommes frites.

[The Legendary Shark]

Exactly - and this is why we have Brexit...

Kettle Pot you ragamuffinist!

I get that!





I mean, if you were going to theme prog 1066 around anything, other alternatives suggest themselves more readily than mild titillation. Battle*, Invasion, a sequel to There's Something Abnormal About Norman, even.


Egmont didn't own Battle, but Bad Company, Koburn and El Maldito demonstrate you can Tharg-up a Battle premise without giving anyone in Legal a hard shift.

[Hawkmumbler]

A mark was missed with that issue, should have been prog 1069.
