Beneath Bridegam's latest bollox is the teenaged rebel view that small c is
actually fascist. Politics as defined by Rik in the Young Ones. The sane man
in the west has to brave this rubbish every hour of every day. What do you
expect from a culture where Bono is venerated.
Yeah I saw the Blair thing the next morning in the paper. What a c*nt, He
might as well have said: YOU DON'T LOVE ME NO MORE! The final and best word
on him goes to Boris: 'Hanging's too good for him.' Did you see the church
newsletter in this week's P.Eye? Bang on. And the parody of Clive James's
dairy had that windbag showoff TO. A. TEE.
Saw Kathy Lette on tv this morning. God I hate Australians. Yes, Martha,
even Australian dopehead slags. (My fiction isn't masturbatory - sexually
anyway).
