I’m no great fan of V for Vendetta, either the comic or film – not surprised that fascists also like it and take what they want from it. Anyway, surely Chesterton (The Man Who Was Thursday) and Conrad (The Secret Agent) can;t really be improved upon.
I’m with Frank Fisher, who in his excellent blog suggested (satirically perhaps) that we are living in the ‘V’ world – any day now Bono will rip off the mask and show his lizard face and eat all our pet mice.
Tom: Perhaps you don’t want any insistent invitations to social gatherings where they need a Labour MP to complete the fireworks?
I still think that the listing of addresses was just another little piece of fascist bullying, it would have been quite possible to publish the details, referring to addresses a, b, c etc.
But then Hue and Cry works better with the mob’s sans culottes in full foam . . .
Reminds me of the denouement of Mr Attlee’s anti comunist joke:
“When the great day of revolution comes, you will live in them houses, you will rise in them Rolls . . ”
I wonder when the great leaders of anti-politics will be telling their followers:
“When the great day of revolution arrives, you will do as you’re b well told.”?
Why do you imagine I am under any obligation to permit you to set the agenda and require me to speak to it?
I accept that you are not a drug addict, but your insistence seems like a mono mania on a thread whose blog post was principally about Nutt and his actions.
You may assume anything you like, but I am not wasting my time quoting the stat re the increase in Portuguese kids using marijhuana for example. Look it up.
Most of the stats and most of the links used on threads such as this, even when they are to “official” stats are unreliable imho.

Stay calm. Have a cup of tea.
