Dear British People (Left, Right, Centre, or whatever your political persuasion may be)
Please refrain from referring to your ruling party as ‘the Tories’. The ‘Conservative Party’, so-called, is at this point in your nation’s history approximately as Tory as George Washington. No, scratch that. George Washington was a significantly better Tory than your ‘Tories’. And he was a Patriot (i.e. a Whig).
What brings on this tirade, you ask? A quote from Her Majesty’s Prime Minister, The Hon. David Cameron:
Many Muslims I’ve talked to about these issues are deeply offended by the use of the word ‘Islamic’ or ‘Islamist’ to describe the terrorist threat we face today… it is mainstream Britain which needs to integrate more with the British Asian way of life, not the other way around.
‘British Asian’.
I expect this kind of nonsense from leftists, Marxists, and Jacobins. Which is to say I expect it from ‘conservatives’.
Conservatism is dead. Long live the Reaction.

Hey, Avenging Red Hand. Uilless here; had to nuke my Twitter account because it got compromised; some bastard was retweeting porn links in my name.
I am following your blog here now, so you may hear from me here; and if I ever tweet or blog again, I’ll let you know.
Cheers.
Hello, Will. Sorry to hear about your Twitter account. You couldn’t just change the password? I’ve been hacked before and that pretty much took care of it.
In any case, thanks for following. 🙂
Oh, I suppose I could have done that, but I also decided Twitter was taking up too much of my time, and that this was a sign that now was the time to quit. 🙂
But I ain’t leaving the blogosphere altogether! I’ll lurk, maybe comment sometimes; we’ll see!
Cheers.
I’m now back blogging at the blog I used to blog at; see the link.
