Well " Off Topic " - but it the the silly season in media terms as everyone goes off on holiday and there is no new to publish. My apologies, that should have read Curtain, as in Iron. As far as I understand " Communism " was a well funded invention of the West used to justify all sort of economic warfare and imperialist domination across many continents and human rights injustices sadly destroying numerous once great European nations all the way to Urals. * But ... it did have the benefit for we, Euros of keeping the Mongol horde from out out our gentled civilised streets for the best part of 50 years. When the Wall / Curtain came down, streets filled up with drugs, guns, cheap tobacco and prostitutes; the price of whacking someone in the East End fell from 5 Grand to 500 with special " Buy One get One Free " offers, and another thousand hardened scammers rise out of the ashes to prey on a senile civilisation without the anti-bodies to fight it. Of course, nothing to do with Cupertino PlexiGlass at all but there you go. Light blue touch paper and stand well back. I blame the heat On a cultural note, it has to be said that Scousers [ Liverpuddlians ] take a high stakes in the Limey League of Scam. In fact, they may have invented the word. >> Bring back Communism and rebuild the wall please! > > What hast communism to do with the wall? I guess ur not from Germany ;) > > Boris [ Don't mention the war ... ] And so whatever happened to extension conflicts?
