If you're a politician your words have added weight, and influence.

And therefore it behooves you to be responsible, and not a silly arse.

Talking about rivers of blood, and thinking you wouldn't be misunderstood.

Is the act of a silly arse.

"Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you." Which is exactly what happened to Winston Smith. His rebellion was not one that was foolish and too outspoken. He silently tried to defeat the Party for his personal happiness, and in the end it cost him everything he had fought for, and his love for Julia. He had learned to love Big Brother, which was his ultimate fear when trying to live a life of individuality. The Party had defeated him.

On behalf of my womb, breed away.
 

People can be hijacked, though. I'm not sure Friedrich Nietche would have been overly fond of Hitler quoting him so often.
 

Wasn't the whole "rivers of blood" reference some highbrow classical allusion which only 0.00001% of the population were ever going to not misunderstand ?
I bet Aristotle (or whoever it was) is pretty fucked off at having his catchphrase well and truly shat on.

"'Reality,' sa molesworth 2, 'is so unspeakably sordid it make me shudder.'"

 

No, but Nietche wasn't a politician, and never aspired to be. Hitler liked Charlie Chaplin's, The Great Dictator, he may have been an evil bastard. But he was an evil bastard with eclectic tastes.

Enoch was a highly conservative politician with a strong following in the right.

Mind you the silly bugger, gave the impetus for the race relations act.

Kinda like marching against gayness, and ending up getting bummed.


It was Pliny I think? The rivers of the Tiber will foam with blood.

And Boris (may he lose horribly) Johnson was probably using an old Latin form of respectful greeting, when he uses the word Pickaninny. Especially when used in conjunction with cannibal, or water melon smile.

Isn’t it amazing how fast and far a thread can go off topic without the original subject ever being debated?

So this is a great example of what the problem is and it's not the numbers.

Reminder: - this is a forum for people with an interest in Comedy. (Should just be Sitcoms, but that another subject and didn’t wont to contradict myself).

I'm sure there'll be a lot of blokes on here willing to give you a right good culling Charley. Oh yes, a proper good culling and no mistake. A good, hard, thorough culling.

Up the arse.

Oh damn I spoilt the innuendo now.

Sooty has earned an indemnity from culling with this post I think. And fuck Boris (but not in any way that can cause enjoyment).
 

Am I funnier when I talk crap on forums, then when writing my woeful skits.

I know this is going off topic.

I can't say I've read any of your 'skits' - not recently enough to remember them - but if you are, then that doesn't bode well for a writing career.
