  2. When I was at university one of my tutors, the late Tim Mason, moved to Italy, apparently in the belief that the Thatcherite UK was heading into a period of Fascism. I wonder what he would have made of Herr de Pfeffel. Still, at least our new dictator will be able to tell us all about the classical origins of his lictors and the real actual fasces that they carry, that's class that is.

    2. Anyway, what's classy about carrying faeces? Mind you, at least it's an honest job.

    1. Altogether now....


      I'm hanging from a lamppost at the corner of the street,
      In case a certain little lady comes by.
      Oh me - oh my,
      I hope that little lady comes by.
