In Defence of Sir Bob Jones.



Don’t panic, just driving traffic to my blog, like Herald was with Bob’s piece.

Though I’ll make an observation that he’s a very literary man, Bob. Knows his motif from his mojo. No surprise his brother is a wonderful author; theirs must have been a bookish family, surely. That last link is to a post where I question if someone with a love of literary fiction could be, amongst other things, misogynist? For what it's worth.

Talking of authoring I see he's provoked my radshitzyist nemesis Thorny into working up her language skills again. While the alpha-males of the radshitzy cliques pontificate haughtily over their lattes at those of us having a laugh.

Anyway, the night’s fast is almost broken, a little stroll with The Civilian, who plays out his opinion with satire, just not of Bob's satyr-ical bent, then off to work to be fed into the tax take for me. Shite, look at this, the top 12% of households by income are paying 46% of the total tax take. Account for the tax credit transfers back to lower income households - Working for Families, Accommodation Grant, etc - and that 12% are paying a whopping 76% of the tax take. Talk about inequality.

Cup of green tea first I think.
