And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Theresa May plants her foot firmly up Jeremy Corbin's ass.
It's a pity that we don't have anything like Parliamentary Question Time in our Congress. In the UK and Australia, members of Parliament have to deal with questions from the opposition that are (of course!) designed to ruffle their feathers and pull the ground out from underneath them. Members learn to handle these difficult questions on their feet, and some get so good at turning the question back on the questioner that they don't often get picked on!
It's a form of trial-by-combat that I'd like to see more of here; but we have a more "collegiate" system, i.e. a Uniparty where all the hogs feed from the same trough, and don't want to upset the farmers paying for the feed.
Well put. Strong leadership from one of our best allies.
ReplyDeleteIt was a pretty good retort, wasn't it?
