So many of us! And we endlessly produce more. Can't we persuade people to stop having sex? Instead of telling youngsters that it is wonderful in the context of a loving relationship, can't we just say that it's ghastly at all times?Marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-8504492651196166032011-08-10T06:11:51.659+01:002011-08-10T06:11:51.659+01:00Re: the rioting chavs... bring back National Servi...<i>Re: the rioting chavs... bring back National Service!</i><br /><br />In the meantime, we Americans would be more than happy to lend you our 2nd Amendment.<br /><br />(Where I live, these riots wouldn't have lasted three minutes, never mind three days.)<br /><br />Agreed about biffing Troofer.

Though it is at least interesting to see the general Beeb view of Thatcher's legacy softening. <br /><br />Evan Davies' recent show about British business was much more radical for the Beeb, even suggesting that Thatcher had very little to do with the collapse of heavy industry, the primary cause being Japs and others building ships and whatnot at a fraction of the price... How did he sneak that one past the Tristrams I wonder?<br /><br />Re: the rioting chavs... bring back National Service!Brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390560583798960760noreply@blogger.com
