   It all went to shite when the country suffered   
   Slime Minister Thatcher to augment Elizardbeast's   
   evil with Policy.  Granted, the unions had gone   
   a bit overboard, as they can do - but my God, the   
   sheeple traded the hob for Hobb's End!

   Well I bloody well can, living in Nova Roma as I do!   
   El Presidente is unlikely to nuke Scotland as he owns   
   two golf courses there.  Unfortunately I have things   
   tethering me here, but I might have to scamper to avoid   
   the Nookewlur War With Canada.

   Well you've managed to get *that* backwards!   
   Shouldn't that be Seven Virgins And A Mule?

   Like all those Greeks In Rome, I have a   
   front row seat to the Decline And Fall of   
   the Modern Empire Of The Moment.  Unlike   
   them, we now have nuclear weapons in the   
   hands of Emperor Batshite.  Interesting   
   times indeed.

   It's not the Censorship, it's the Collusion.

   Yah, same to you!
