In England we have not yet been completely embowelled of our natural entrails… We have not been drawn and trussed, in order that we may be filled, like stuffed birds in a museum, with chaff and rags and paltry blurred shreds of paper about the rights of man. We preserve the whole of our feelings still native and entire, unsophisticated by pedantry and infidelity. We have real hearts of flesh and blood beating in our bosoms.
Hey up, I don't agree with
Hey up,
I don't agree with every line I post here. In the quotes block I try and pick out thought-provoking stuff, not stuff I think is necessarily correct. (See Greg Craven's rant in latest post - I don't agree with a lot of what he's saying.) In this case, I just liked the idea of Mozaz making up for missing the "Thatcher's dead" street party (I'm sure you picked up that the comment is someone else's, not mine.) In sheer numbers of foreign dead, Blair surely wins - though they both seem to have something of a soft spot for dictators.
