The thread "What a sad excuse for a group this is... " currently has
217 messages. That is in itself an indictment of the lack of
imagination in the majority of participants, who agree with the
depressing sentiment but do nothing about starting a more positive
thread. Furthermore, it is indicative of a deep malaise lurking like
an infection that the offensive thread was started before Christmas
and no one said, "Hey, that's a bit intolerant in the season of
goodwill."

Making such a comment is its own form of intolerance...

I know, Keith [said in a caring, sharing voice, like a Labour Party
spokesman interviewed on the gogglebox about old ladies who can't walk
because the National Health is too ****ed up to do simple hip
replacements], I know. But what can one do except keep quiet about the
fact that there are arseholes abroad -- and loud? I try but I don't
think I'll ever be quite that cringemakingly politically correct; in
fact, it is more likely that I shall first believe in unscientific
crap like global warming -- and you know that one's got Buckley's
chance (1).

I know what a 'Lombard' is - 'loads of money but a right dickhead',

I once had a solicitor with an office in Lombard Street. He bragged
that he had only three books in his office. He died worth half a
million. He inherited a million... Your description of him fits to a
T.

but no
idea what a 'Lomborg' is!

Bjorn Lomborg, author of The Skeptical Environmentalist, who had his
career ruined for exposing the lies of the environmental lobby.

The NHS is going through a 'suits n' targets' phase and is the biggest cash
cow this country's got right now, but I can't comment - I'm not even
registered with a Gee Pee myself, yet Swim did very nicely off NHS
'procurement' fiascos last year!
