RBS. Not for sale to Abu Dhabi, true friends and allies of Britain though the Emiratis undeniably are. Like Bahrain and Oman, it is beyond me why the UAE is not in the Commonwealth, whereas Saudi Arabia, to which the Coalition is far too close, and Kuwait are America's regional allies rather than ours. But none on them should be welcome to buy the public stake in RBS, a stake which, not least because it is the safeguard of the Union that public ownership always is, ought not be for sale at all, ever.
And the Office of Mayor of London, the occupant of which should be determined by the voters of London, not by the (extremely anti-British) government or (homicidally anti-British) intelligence agency of Israel, speaking through hired help on Fleet Street. Hold your nose if you have to. I would have to. But Vote Ken. It is a question of this nation's sovereignty. In view of his cheerleaders and probable backers, a vote for Boris would be tantamount to treason, and an expression of dual, if any British, loyalty.
Truly "a glittering ornament" of Durham, the last great anti-American, anti-Semitic citadel where Brideshead Revisited meets Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. How many lesser beings have tried to get rid of you from that place? Most of them have wiped its toxic dust from their feet, some have been forced out, any remaining are only there because nowhere else will take them. The forces protecting you are terrifying.
ReplyDeleteThey are out tonight, aren't they, Mr. L?
ReplyDeleteI have always been very proud of my enemies.
ReplyDeleteSo you should be. It is always a joy to witness the paroxysms whenever they are confronted with the fact that the people who read you might not be very numerous, but they are very "influential". You have said in the past that the loons come on here quite a bit, but you usually reject their comments. You should let them up more often. They reflect very well on you.
ReplyDeleteYou are very kind. But on topic, please. And I would rather that people did not conduct the same thread under more than one post.
