"So, rather than trying to explain why the journalist has got it all wrong, all that anybody can do is say that the bloke who wrote the article is a bad journalist. Telling"
Well has he ever heard anything ? I mean does he really LISTEN ? Anyone who has a view that is different from the normality or the abnormality, or from the daily telegraph's view, does not need to be published in print. That view represents 100s of 1000s of english people. Those people that didn't vote. I am not kidding. It doesn't need a genius like me to tell him how wrong he is.
"ill-informed " ?
Well he is wrong there, as you know. England did plunder, rape and ravage various (hundreds of countries.) And that's how we got those islands originally. We didn't get them for nothing. We sailed, we attacked and we SHARED the winnings (and badly.)
We didn't know about the oil then, but that's another story.
Hanging onto them now is all about OIL, as you know.
And finally, anyone that can write the following sentences:
"Compared to that, a total ignorance of international law and a chorus line of pudgy middle-aged blokes in T-shirts isn’t exactly pushing the envelope. Couldn’t you at least have sprung for some glitter and gladioli? Maybe a few scantily clad lads or lasses in sawn-off uniform with crowns and oil-rig epaulettes, to symbolise Britain’s enslavement by the petro-military-Windsorist clique?"
Wasn't even there.
If only he had waited another day, Mr Colville could have written about the 'Giant Kate Moss who squashed shoppers on Oxford Street' where his talent for writing could have been better placed, well away from music as he seems to know very little.
If he had the self-pity, but not the flamboyance, then the author was probably at home listening to Bad Manners, Sham 69 and so on in the 80s and more lately listening to Enya and Alesha Dixon. Once tone deaf, always tone deaf as they say. Smart Fool ? Just a fool.
