Comments on: It’s only hubris if I fail http://www.ministryoftruth.me.uk/2007/12/17/its-only-hubris-if-i-fail/ Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

I wonder, belatedly, if you pursued this? It’s still a matter being reported on, most recently in Hansard.

If that is what he genuinely thinks then one wonder quite how he managed to restrain himself from going the whole hog and alleging that this is all the work of a mass, UK-wide, paedophile ring.”

There are other actions pending against Southall, are there not…? Perhaps the good doctor is saving this argument for one of the others.
