Oops, twitchy trigger finger again.

It's simple, Don. The difference is that Richie Black wishes evil on those who do not deserve it, for his own benefit, but I wish evil on those who do deserve it, for the benefit of the general population.

And of course his silly little epigram about the ant and the grasshopper is just that, silly - once upon a time there was no major need for private pensions because the graduated national pension (the Barbara Castle structure) worked just fine until a later politician abolished it - now who could that have been - oh yes, the milk snatcher. Once upon a time employer pension schemes were often merely legalised robbery (the old GEC scheme) and unsafe anyway (anyone remember the bouncing Czech, Robert Maxwell - bounced but could not swim hooray).

The world would be a better place without Richie Black and BozonoBrains and their like - and as far as I'm concerned the jury is out on WillieEvacuations too, who professes to be old Labour but runs with the capitalist hyena Con-Dems, only his professed Labour beliefs attracting the benefit of the doubt so far - and the suffering I wish them is no more than a Hegelian balance (and probably does not even get as far as balance) when compared to the harm they have caused and wish others.

I've got a little list.

Has anybody got a tumbril please?
