THE LAST DITCH
I am deeply indebted to NHS Blog Doctor for having found on YouTube a film that I did not know existed of Peter Cook performing his "Judge/Miner Monologue". Apropos of nothing in particular, here it is.
Well thank you TP, for bringing this to my attention. I remember this well. Beyond the Fringe and this skit, Sitting on the Bench. I once wrote a post on my blog, based on my memory of it and the fact that I studied The Latin for many years. For you see I too could have been a Judge, for I definitely had The Latin, unlike the regretful Peter Cook. But instead I used it in Pharmacy instead, well not much but a little.

Well I guess to avoid having egg on my face I should have listened to the whole video instead of just the first bit before making my comment. Obviously he took the idea of the judging/Latin/mining before or after this and fleshed it out into Sitting on the Bench.
Crawling back under my rock now.

Stop Common Purpose
If you don’t know what Common Purpose is, I suggest you find out.
Common Purpose is a corrupt organisation which must be stopped:

Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.
He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that
“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”

I like it and agree. I’m not sure how many others would! 😎
That’s a modern “more law” approach — and certainly consistent with our Establishment’s current aggressive approach. However I don’t want…
