O most pernicious man!
O villain, villain, smiling, damnèd villain!
My tables—meet it is I set it down
That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain—
At least I am sure it may be so in Britain.

They say it all really, as only Shakespeare can.

Do you have anything to say about the environment, conservation, sustainability, population growth, or any other green issues? On the sorry evidence of this blog you're just another far left ranting twat that we really don't need. I'd like to be able to vote for your party, but how can I if arseholes like you - socialist worker type arseholes, pissing away their time shouting about Bliar and Israel - are infesting it and making it look amateurish, juvenile and totally fucking irrelevant?
