There is massive political pressure on our leaders. Unfortunately It's not from the electorate, its from the people who live in the lobby (of 6 star hotels).
For me its like surfing, riding a motorbike , or driving a car hard. Scary hit but shows you the way if you can tare right in its face. (I hope that makes sense to someone)
Apologies for my apparent flippancy - I do not intend to offend. It's difficult to make the point in such a small space with so few words, I was attempting to address a larger picture. Allo Allo was a British satirical comedy concerning the Nazi occupation in France (hence the tagline 'I shall say this only once'). I suggest, very sadly, that you are wrong. Violent people are demonstrably not sane or rational - especially when under orders. I promise that I understand your concerns lie closer to home at the moment. But people.never forget.
Listen very carefully. I shall say this only once.
Lunatics do sometimes run the Asylumn.
You are declared insane only by a society that doesn#t understand you. I've never met a mad cat - but some quite angry panthers...
Violence is the only measure of insanity.
