How does one respond to this? Adolph Hitler liked dogs, and Idi Amin was a
good Sergeant in the KAR (King's African Rifles) so what depths do we plumb
for Little Johnny? And, does this make him human and acceptable? Frankly,
I'm just gobsmacked! He's had a life on greased rails, how can he ever
appreciate the life of a Fourth World person?
Farewell my lucky country, I begin to wonder if my quarter century of
uniformed service was all a bloody waste, its called naivete I guess.
Please forgive a slow learner, because I'll be damned if I'd ever offer my
life "In Aid of the 'CIVIL?' Authority" for these antipodean faschisti.

Did you hear about the Roman Catholic who asked his priest to call on him.
"What's the matter, my son?"
"Father," he said, "I'm dying."
"Oh, my word! I'm so sorry."
"That's okay, Father, I've come to terms with it. But I want to ask you
something. I want you to help me to convert to Protestantism."
"Whatever for?" asked the priest.
"Well, isn't it better that one of them dies instead of one of us?" ANON
