I Abhor What You Are Saying...

... But will defend to the death your right to say it.

This is one of those maxims I unswervingly advocate. It's a founding principle of my moral structure. It's why I detest and decry No Platform stances.

I found it tested to the limit this morning when I heard Peter Hitchens on Start the Week referring to himself as reasonable, along with many other unsupported and unsupportable assertions which went completely unprobed by old Jug Ears Marr.

ARGH KILL STAB HATE!

I am therefore going to make a small amendment. I abhor what you are saying, but will defend to the death your right to say it as long as you are saying it at a reasonable hour when I have had chance to wake up. Otherwise I reserve the right to get into a frothing rage and scream obscenities at the radio for your total, utter vacuous selfish pompous ARSENESS.

Quote of the Day

The Lay Scientist - whom you should all be reading anyway - on "colon cleansing" treatments for being overweight:

If you're fat, it's not because your colon needs cleaning - colons are like the Daily Mail, they're supposed to be full of shit.
