I do agree that having Jordan as a role model is horrible. It is rather unfortunate that lese majeste isn’t appropriately punished these days. But then neither is advocating crimes against humanity, and either of these would be enough to deal with the Left permanently.

It is truly unfortunate that no real titles are being created for anyone besides the Royal Family. Baroness Thatcher truly should have been elevated to Duchess, and Churchill should have been given his Dukedom after he left politics.

In my experience people don’t become the sort of feckless scumbags who cheat on their spouses because they are Left Wing.

It’s the other way around.

When you are fucked up, Herman, you are fucked up. Accept it graciously, acknowledge the sad fact that you are an asshole, and move on – to some field in which you can shine, such as shoveling manure.

But forgiveness is a trait in socially minded individuals, surely, since society cannot function without it. Blood feuds etc.

It’s always supremely irritating, when accusing someone of stupidity on the internet, to fuck it up with a typo

Alcuin, as so often, is right, and never mind the hysterical reactions of airheads like Paul.

Forgiveness is a left-wing trait?

No this is not a monopoly of collectivist, command economy types.

I would have thought it was fairly obvious that no Lib Dems were available for comment because they were all cheating on their husband at the time of the interviews.

Can’t fault Baroness Thatcher or Her Maj as role models, really. But Jordan/Katie Price?

My Marxist ex was apt to comment that while they paid lip service to female equality, so far as most of his fellow Marxists were concerned, the role of their own female partners in actuality was very much that of junior partner and suppliant helpmate.

On the other hand the more strident of his female academic colleagues expected to have special arrangements made for them to work child friendly hours while they off loaded all the anti social hours and evening classes and holiday cover off onto their child free colleagues. They still expected equality of pay and employment terms. It used to make him very cross.
