Listening to the guy who set fire to the place trying to explain why the building was on fire was really funny. That Eton educated ability to plough on and try to sound convincing when every single human being knows you're talking shite is a rare gift. Tbf, making an absolute **** out of yourself then doubling down and ploughing on when every man and his dug can see that you are looking even more of an arse is not exclusively restricted to Old Etonians.

Cade Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 "The essential English leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness.

My mother was brought up in Nazi Germany and, sadly, still believed some of the crap the Menschen were brainwashed with late into her life. It is a concern to me that some „politicians“, in various countries, are practicing Geobbels‘ theory, with some success, today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have seen my post for what it was , a bit of advice , in being careful what you post , as people have different perceptions. If it was a “ joke “ I don’t know who was laughing , apart from the grotesques on this thread . Now please grow up . Is “ bad faith” ? 😂 no that old chestnut 🌰 again . The day that I need your advice will be the day I've donated half my brain to science. As for growing up, I'd wait for you to catch up but, as Kant once memorably said, "Maturity is having the courage to use one’s own intelligence", so I guess you're proper fecked.

Victorian Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Tbf Philp was being rhetorical (some might say being a shop's). But he is the go-to guy if you need someone to defend a particular position or policy, regardless of how ridiculous it is. The boy would give a go to defending Hitler.
