Do you have to be a member of the Von Battenburg family in order to be forgiven? Does Ms. Spelman seriously believe that this is a worse offence than (say) stealing 22 grand of taxpayers' money to pay for your nanny and then lying about it?Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542633492362670045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-16469599664927815682009-01-10T10:21:00.000Z2009-01-10T10:21:00.000ZThis guy has wiped out a promissing career in politics in one evening - no one will EVER take him seriously again...GOOD!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-60296792277670684272009-01-09T23:07:00.000Z2009-01-09T23:07:00.000ZWHAT A CUNTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-63244323161173798182009-01-09T21:56:00.000Z2009-01-09T21:56:00.000ZTory Bear Rocks !!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-83808068870552684872009-01-09T21:47:00.001Z2009-01-09T21:47:00.001ZShould I be expelled from the Party for continuing to voice my deep-held opinion that the McCanns killed their child?<BR/><BR/>They'll get caught out sooner or later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-31835814801986448702009-01-09T21:47:00.000Z2009-01-09T21:47:00.000ZTB, everyone knew Matt Lewis was an absolute dickhead.

In "A fish named Wanda", it is the famous "apology" by John Cleese (while hanging from a high window, head down) to Otto (the psycho):<BR/><BR/>"I unreservedly.. I completely regret.. my behaviour... the pain I have caused". Of course, we do not laugh in this one.<BR/><BR/>But the final touch is the most revealing: "my actions were not meant to be malicious". You see, there was no "malice"... this is what is most frightening. "Evil without malice"; a symbol of the times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
