    Doing nothing and then sneering at those who try is a self-delusional egomania at a Jack Monroe-esque level.

    Again, well said.

    By the way, the new Arsenal replica kits are very nice, aren't they

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Are you hinting Sir C has sent his man to the Armory to buy him one ?
    10 characters? Pile of cund.

    I have an open mind on hunting. Make the kill as swift as possible, do the animals the respect of eating them and using every bit of stuff they can be used for. I have no truck with fascist vegans who insist the world can survive on quinoa without quite explaining what would happen to a planet overpopulated with humans and animals.

    But anything that weakens this saddo's stranglehold on the Arsenal is good. So I'm busy complaining everywhere on the net about this.

    Well everyone draws their own line in the sand and castigates anyone else crossing it.

    My own lovely wife considers herself a custodian of the fragile planet and berates all who squander resources but will happily sit in the living room with five different lights on. The correct 'ambience' is apparently more important than averting the impending climate catastrophe.

    There's nothing like eco-politics to bring out the worst in middle-class hypocrisy and virtue signalling. An email came round at work about sustainability and there were a series of questions about one's attitude to climate issues but very little about one's actual energy consumption. The nearest it came was a question about whether one might take public transport, such as a 'bus' from time-to-time instead of driving one's car.

    I discussed this with a colleague who defended it, saying it is more important to berate other people than to perhaps stop taking a dozen personal flights a year as we can do little as individuals, but we can potentially influence many other people to make savings. So don't save, preach!

    Out on the road today, I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac!
