Don't Blame Me: The Appendix
Perhaps some of you thought I was a bit harsh in my last post. Maybe I was. But on the other hand...
They say a picture paints a thousand words, so if you were struggling to with the idea that Mr Prescott is a thug, take a look at this on Sam's blog.
And perhaps you thought I was a bit harsh on Charles Clarke. After all, we all make mistakes and surely he didn't really do any harm. Well, I for one wasn't surprised that some of those released in the latest cock-up have already reoffended.
I was also interested by Dave's comment on my last post. "I'm a socialist that likes nice things, but I'm also an atheist that celebrates Christmas, it's just the way I was raised."
At first glance it makes sense. Lot's of people doubtless share the same view. But thinking about it, where do we draw the line? It's a bit "you can do anything you like so long as it pleases me" which lacks something in the way of principles.
Here endeth my political rant. Let the debate roll on...

But I get your point Jim, about how some people just dip into things a bit when it suits them without fully believing / committing.. like those celebrities who pick a religion just cos they want one... or bands who go on with political slogans whilst not really knowing what they're talking about...
