Red Hand, come on now, what do you have against earrings on a man? Out the with it. (Disclaimer, I ditched mine when I was 22).
‘The Big Lie’ looks like a suitable stocking filler for Christmas.
Incidentally, if you look up ‘big lie’ on wikipedia there’s the following extract from an OSS report on Hitler’s psychological profile (it’s allowed to mention H when its actually relevant, that’s not a breach of Godwin’s Law, right?):
“never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong”
It struck me that there’s more than a passing similarity between that and the political approach taken by some.
