If that happens I will chance my arm on the ANC and return to SA, with or without English incumbents...

This country has lost its collective mind. None of this will end well!

The fact that the reappearance of Boris Johnson in No Ten appears welcome illustrates how completely incompetent and unqualified the present incumbents are. And the alternatives.

Guatemala, it is warm at least, as I told my better half, last night. As you might imagine that went down like a lump of poison! =))

We are in free fall here to some sub-banana republic like regime...

Some airheaded woman with a mouth like a mean blowup doll (and a brain to match) and some poncey coonebob with an A level in economics!

Is this is how Empire ends?

Lord forgive my sexism and racism... Capetonian, where are you? Forgive me for my liberal views!

Seen are you a Daily Mail reader?

As I pointed out above, it does not matter what I read-I'm trying to understand what your statement about the morons who read the Daily Mail means and it seems that you are a little reluctant in helping me understand who these "morons" that you have described are.

The language in the Daily Mail is designed to get people angry at someone or something. Once you spot the deliberate word choices where they've said something in an inflammatory way, you realise that it's being done on purpose. Once you figure it out it loses much of the effect and the editorial bias is obvious.

As is the case with many publications and media outlets all over the world.

I'm still trying to find out who the morons are that read the Daily Mail and why they don't understand the UK is heading into substantial recession.
