   Love that sarky 'apparentlly'.   
      
   I have nothing much against decadence: i'm very lazy and decadent myself;   
   intellectual decadence however is another matter. People who get into   
   poverty wristbands and air-punching politics and Coldplay and PC and all the   
   rest of the poncy, snobist, middle class left's bullshit are the sort of   
   people to spend nearly three quid on a drink in Coffee Republic and have a   
   tee shirt with Che Guevara on it and all that crap - probably dig that   
   talentless drone Doherty too.
