Criminality and the Underclass

I came across this observation in Auschwitz, the Nazis and the Final Solution (Laurence Rees) (I am assuming familiarity with the context): '...the individuals who sat at the table at the Wannsee conference were salaried functionaries from one of Europe's great nations, not back-street terrorists, though their crimes were to be greater than any conventional 'criminal' act in the history of the world. Equally instructive, when some still refer to an ill-educated 'criminal underclass', is that of the fifteen people around the table eight had academic doctorates.' (My italics).

Misty-Eyed Nostalgia

Oh the good old days
Oh misty eyed nostalgia
Oh, shut up....

Yes, I am listening to 'Whinesport'. Charlie Wolf babbling on about this case and claiming that it is symptomatic of the problems in British society today. Here's a quarter for the 'clue 'phone', Charlie, it made the news because it is newsworthy and it is newsworthy because it is such an unusual case. I would have thought that someone 'in the 97th' percentile with a degree in journalism (ha!) would know that. Apparently, this is also symptomatic of the dreadful state that contemporary Britain is in. Again, an unusual case. He went on to claim that 'an armed society is a gentler society.' In other words, Charlie Boy is berating us, yet again, for being 'unAmerican'. There's a way of solving that, Mr. Wolf...I'll come and wave you off at the airport.

Lightning Strikes

I am watching TV. I am watching Quizmania. And it occurs to me that TV is the most wasted medium on this planet. Should I end it all now?

Switch Channels - to BBC News 24. They are interviewing an Asian guy who voted for the BNP. Why? What is he trying to prove? Is he not aware of their policy of encouraging repatriation of non-white citizens? It's akin to a Jew voting for the National Socialist Party in the March, 1933 elections. I wonder if he is sectionable. It's not as if Nick Griffin (an alumnus of Downing College, Cambridge - He got a Douglas Hurd (or a piece of Turd - oh no, that's the man himself)) is a great orator. My cat is more persuasive than him.

I did not exercise my civic duty - I did not vote. There is nothing for me. I need a real liberal party. The kind of Liberal Party that Winston Churchill knew and loved (well, until he 'crossed the floor'.)
