I was very much cheered by the news that Saddam had found his way to the end
of a rope and I'll bet you a ton of money so were thousands upon thousands
of others. It wasn't a pretty sight but served him fucking well right.
There's a ridiculous essay in today's paper by Andrew Roberts claiming that
Saddam - as well as Stalin and Pol Pot - were brave as a well as evil.
Hasn't he ever heard of psychopaths?
In Orwell's day people were hanged far too often and for trivial offences.
We have a different problem in the modern world: far too many people getting
away with far too much.
Of course, the Labour Party ought to be concentrating on reinstituting the
death penalty for certain cases of murder here in England instead of getting
the poorly-equipped British Army (adequate body armour or gay rights
counsellors? Socialism knows the true answer) gallivanting around distant
serfdoms helping to hang foreigners. The prigs never miss an opportunity to
prig off about the death penalty - though I never hear them getting too
outraged about violent murder being committed: probably because violent
murder is committed by 'the underprivileged' or because murder and mayhem
doesn't actually exist, it's just a racket got up by the Daily Mail to make
people dislike certain sections of society.
If Orwell was dodging around now, I have a horrible feeling he'd end an
essay with one of those sign offs that must make his essays troublesome
reading for a modish lefty: '...but given the choice between seeing an oaf
serve an easy six years for kicking a father to death in the street over a
small altercation or seeing him plunge through a trapdoor with a rope around
his neck...'
Happy New Ear - as Van Gogh used to say.
