    Just wondering. When did we start expecting our 'betters' to have the same morality and mores as the rest of us? 
    In London. Keen but lazy.
  • Perhaps in the past we’ve expected them to at least make a reasonable fist of hiding their duplicity … this lot either can’t even do that or are so arrogant they don’t even try …

  • Of course … Nazism is about an elite oppressing the rest.

    I don't buy charity cards and wouldn't donate to something like "donotsendmeacard" for the same reason.  That is the amount which is creamed off by the companies selling them.  I will only donate directly to a charity, not pay a third party.

    Where did I say that?  Although I doubt you can name a left wing government that has verifiably murdered over 11 million people in a period of four years.

    I've been known to do both.

    Why not buy charity cards if you like the design? ... but don't be naive and think all the money goes to the charity ... the artist, the printers and the sellers all have to make a living too, just like you and I.

    Actually I'll call myself out on that one ... the Cultural Revolution of course.  

    But as I said, you responded to something I hadn't said  .... I wasnt making excuses for anybody.
