Political

[poliphilo]

wemyss has defriended me- volcanically- over my paedophile posts. It's good stuff. He says I'm "an intellectual dung beetle", "a would be whipper-up of mobs" (both of which may be true) and a homophobe (which is not).

I cast my vote in the election for police commissioner. I wrote "I do not want an elected police commissioner at all". So that's a spoiled ballot. I view this election as a power grab by our discredited political parties.

Between homosexuality and paedophilia? There isn't one.

Some paedophiles fancy little girls, some fancy little boys, some (like Savile) fancy both.

I wasn't drawing any kind of connection. That was something Wemyss did.

I have a long history with the Blessed Oscar. It rankles with me how he's been turned into a gay saint. I admire some aspects of the man and deplore others. He was full of ego and self-pity and treated his wife badly. His writing can be witty and succinct but also florid and sentimental. It's an instinct with me to want to throw cabbages and tomatoes at any person that gets put up on a pedestal.
