Believers, show discernment when you go to fight for the cause of Allah, and do not say to those that offer you peace: “You are not believers,” – seeking the chance booty of this world; for in the world to come there are abundant gains. Such was your custom in days gone by, but now Allah has bestowed on you His grace.
-The Koran 4:93

 This is typical, absolutely typical … of the kind of ARSE I have to put up with from you people. You ponce in here expecting to be waited on hand and foot, well I’m trying to run a hotel here. Have you any idea of how much there is to do? Do you ever think of that? Of course not, you’re all too busy sticking your noses into every corner, poking around for things to complain about, aren’t you. Well, let me tell you something – this is exactly how Nazi Germany started, you know. A lot of layabouts with nothing better to do that cause trouble. Well I’ve had fifteen years of pandering to please the likes of you and I’ve had enough. I’ve had it. Come on, pack your bags and get out! May 26th, 2002 | Comments are closed
World trade could be a powerful motor to reduce poverty, and support economic growth, but that potential is being lost. The problem is not that international trade is inherently opposed to the needs and interests of the poor, but that the rules that govern it are rigged in favour of the rich. -Oxfam, from the Introduction to their Report Rigged Rules and Double Standards: Trade, Globalisation, and the Fight Against Poverty. See their Make Trade Fair campaign website (but don’t expect the rules to be any less rigged by the time they’ve finished with them). May 25th, 2002 | Comments are closed

Harold Wilson said Labour was a crusade or it was nothing. I try not to think about his assertion. The logical implications are too painful. May 23rd, 2002 | Comments are closed

I’ve worked out a use for Stephen Byers. If you take the intellectual rigour of John Major, the financial probity of the late Robert Maxwell, the sense of public service of Neil Hamilton and the integrity of Stephen Byers, you get… President Jacques Chirac! May 18th, 2002 | Comments are closed

Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil, in its worst state an in tolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamities is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer!

Combinations of wickedness would overwhelm the world, did not those who have long practised perfidy grow faithless to each other. May 15th, 2002 | Comments are closed
