	There's nothing illegal about it, it's just... illegal.     Posted by CheddarBBQ on 16 Nov 2010. (4) (0) Permalink Tweet This reminds me of the famous quote from Keith Hellawell, UK "drugs czar", that "There's a myth that if we legalise a substance it would somehow take the illegality out of it."     Posted by Wrongfellow on 17 Nov 2010. That quote deserves a place here in its own right!     Posted by JT on 17 Nov 2010.

	Interviewer: "What is al Qaeda?" Interviewee: "Al Qaeda is a group, a suicide group in Israel in the the Middle East. They do suicide bombs and stuff. And the president of it is Yasser Arafat - everybody knows that."     Posted by JT on 26 Sep 2009. (3) (0) Permalink Tweet Well, Jews have been blamed for a lot of things over the years. But at least accusing Israel of being Islamic fundamentalists led by a dead Palestinian is unique.     Posted by JT on 26 Sep 2009. This is that idiot from the CNNNN report. It's the best part of the whole report. How the hell did he get his facts right so badly and then falsely justify them.     Posted by Tiger on 5 Nov 2009. Well, I.. I.. I'm speechless.     Posted by Moosh on 14 Nov 2009.

(3) (0) Permalink Tweet ...while they should have obviously been treated as the superior creatures they are.     Posted by Socky on 4 Oct 2009. Chimps? Superior? You're thinking of orang-utans!     Posted by JT on 5 Oct 2009.

	"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure."     Posted by JT on 13 Sep 2009. (2) (0) Permalink Tweet A classic, but still a good one. "Politics" category? Or is it too similar to "People"?     Posted by Wrongfellow on 13 Sep 2009. Was thinking the same - it'll be a handy place to shovel all the billions of Bushisms we're going to get before long, too.     Posted by JT on 13 Sep 2009.

	"I generally don't like England that much." (Prince Harry, third in line to the English throne)     Posted by JT on 15 Sep 2009. (3) (1) Permalink Tweet I think naming names is acceptable in this case, don't you? ;-)     Posted by JT on 15 Sep 2009. Well, I'm sure it's in the public domain already. That said, is there any particular reason why he shouldn't dislike England? And if he does dislike England (which he has a perfect right to do), why shouldn't he be honest about it? Another [-] from me I'm afraid.     Posted by Wrongfellow on 15 Sep 2009. As a possible (probable?) future king, he's expected to act as ambassador for the country and to sing its praises.     Posted by JT on 15 Sep 2009. Maybe by some people, but I'm not much of a royalist personally, and I don't think they should be obliged to have particular opinions purely because of who they are.     Posted by Wrongfellow on 15 Sep 2009. Me neither - but it's what they're expected to do in return for the money they get from the civil list. To me, it's much like a baker refusing to bake bread.     Posted by JT on 15 Sep 2009. Nah, we pay to maintain them because they're a quaint national treasure, much like a cathedral, or a nature reserve. Or a kind of living museum. :)     Posted by Wrongfellow on 15 Sep 2009. er...by which I mean, a stupid thing to say.     Posted by JT on 15 Sep 2009. I still reckon they'd pay their way a lot better if we beheaded one of them annually in Trafalgar Square and charged the Yanks and Japanese £100,000 each to watch.     Posted by JT on 15 Sep 2009. Heck, I'd watch that. I should make it clear that no-one in England likes the royals much - it's only the foreigners who don't have to pay for them who enjoy the soap opera that they provide.     Posted by Destrii on 9 Jan 2010.
