Agree with your analysis of these 'many solo groups' and I suspect he's eagerly awaiting stories of the other ones kicking off across Europe this week to follow his lead. He's going to be very disappointed.

You say you haven't looked at what he's written (and copied) and I quite understand that. But I *have* started reading his manifesto and your comment about occasional bits in it being logical or sensible is right. In much the same way as a stopped clock is right twice a day, its inevitable *some stuff* is going to make sense. Plenty of raving bollocks in there to pad out the majority of what I've read so far though.

I know someone else who has this addiction too - possibly a more serious case.

I'm trying to wean her off it by suggesting crystal meth as a first step replacement. It's either that or booking her in to the Priory.

I've been disappointed by less in my time...it was worth a click :-)

He has a point and frankly you should be ashamed.

The most utterly evil thing about the Soviet Union was gossip.

You are threatening the free world in exactly the same way as Stalin did. Except without the massive army and the chest full of medals.

There are two parallel arguments running here. That voting can be the tyranny of the majority. That it can be the tyranny of the most active minority. That it can be the plaything of those who understand the obscure and arcane rules best.

And, utterly separately, that Nadine is nailed on nuts.

Great post AE, but the two things need both a cartridge of silver bullets and a padded cell. I'll help out with either although I suspect Mad Nad is the easier target.

Very sensible of you to play by the rules GR, although I think just about every reader here will know the names by now.

Force Majeure has been used and abused since the first day some smartarse lawyer first thought of it.

But the real problem, as you say, is a govt binding its successors financially - often for generations. PFI is the timebomb under the UK. Off balance sheet shit that our grandchildren will still be paying for long after it's fallen down.

The argument used there is...we can't just tell the suppliers that they are thieving bastards and rip the contracts up because nobody will ever bid again. The answer of course is that they *will* because the govt has huge pockets. The suppliers will just know next time not to take the piss.
