johnny9fingersI've been less than complimentary from time to time towards the Saxe-Coburg de Gothas in these posts.
However... the younger generation don't seem without merit. Young Harry seems brave and is prepared for service in Iraq, unlike any politicians son or daughter I can think of. The Royal family might be a bit dodgy (with the obvious exception of Her Maj), but they're a bloody site better than any of the politicians that complain about them.
When Blaa is prepared to put either his or his children's lives on the line, I might just be able to respect him more. Same with GWB.
Gods, think about it - politicians: even worse scum than a parasitic royalty, or an ensconced aristocracy; and lets face it, cowardly to boot.

He's got to be one of the more entertaining of them, althoguh possibly the entertainment value is slightly more jaw-dropping amamzement in tone than I would prefer.

And it's not as if any of these have won a Noble Prize, or contributed to human knowledge and understanding, or written a symphony.
Any rational world would turn around and say: 'Who are all these fucking nobodies, and why does anyone care?' but we live amongst the ignorant and the deluded, and it is also a democracy... ergo, we play by the majority rules.
(I know I've become an elitist, but I'm an equal opportunities elitist. Anyone can work hard enough, or think hard enough to make a contribution: everyone should make the effort.)
Love to Nick and Holls
PS
