More Fun With Retarded Brits



".......pusillanimity......." ?

You can use the big words with me, they don't frighten me. Except maybe big, foreign words, I think. You know, filthy lexical migrants coming over here, filling up our sentences and keeping our good, honest indigenous words under-employed.....
bastards!

".......Federasts...."?

I'm totally nicking that one. Scathingly(1) near-homophonic to pederasts!
 

As for your use of the Greek Cassandra myth, I think it rather malapropos. Firstly, she was not weak nor foolish. Misunderstood, even insane maybe, but not weak or foolish. Secondly, Cassandra's prognostications came true - her curse was that she would never be believed. Do you mean that the dire predictions of The Right Honourable David Cameron MP will come true and that those who deny these predictions and support the "Leave" campaign are synonymous with the folks who disbelieved Cassandra - and will be proved wrong?
Or..........
Perhaps you mean that the predictions of The Right Honourable David Cameron of joyous and generalized beneficence of remaining in the EU will come true and his curse is the "Leave" campaign won't believe it?

".......dribbling piss down his expensively tailored leg....."

That is potentially rather callous of you. What if one, or more, of your readers had/has a relative(2) who was incontinent? There are many causes for this, not the least of which could be Traumatic Gynecologic Fistula caused by a violent gang-rape by a brace or two of Pakistani men behind a chipper in Newham?
Wouldn't you feel bad?
I inadvertently upset one of your dear readers a few days ago when I made light of TB. It behooves us to be careful about what we say. We don't want to upset anybody. Innit?

"........Before 1600, little divided us in terms of advancement from the arabs, the asiatics and the chinese,....."


This is simply not true.

In the 13th century, Islam, India and China were developing mathematics with place-value notation, determining the Precession of the Equinoxes and writing 
exquisite poetry and treatises on optics and algebra while the Europeans were still swinging in the trees - metaphorically.

I agree that after the European Enlightenment of the 16th and 17th centuries, the Judeo-christian West left the rest of the world behind, but prior to 1600, the European Caucasoid was an ignorant buffoon. The Catholic Church kept The West under its jackboot of ignorance for 1,000 years. The Reconquista in Iberia, the Silk Road and interaction with the Ottomans re-introduced to Europe the learning from Ancient Greece, Rome and Asia. This kick-started and fueled the Renaissance. Oh, and maybe some Irish monks helped too.

Raedwald, your libertarian tolerance is admirable but the "Sterculian" twit is making too much noise - like listening to the World Service on shortwave way back when, too much distraction. He/she/it is clearly very young, very pretentious, very prolix, and only does it to annoy. In lieu of arranging for its bottom to be smacked until it bleeds, please get rid of it. I would hate my longstanding enjoyment of your posts, and the commenters (most of them) to drive me away if this vermin is not controlled (i.e. extinguished) summarily.

Such vehemence
Such hatred.
Such intolerance.
Are you part of ISIS / ISIL / IS by chance?
You certainly have their mindset when it comes to inclusion and acceptance.

Please to enlighten me as to the 'noise' I am being accused of exuding today?
I respond to other commenters ONLY when attacked by them.
I do not 'start' a conversation with anyone except Rædwald.
Today I questioned the appropriateness of Mr. Rædwald's use of the Cassandra myth and his grasp of the level of Intellectual development in Medi-evil Europe. These queries were certainly en pointe vis-à-vis his missive above, and I argue, quite acceptable and legitimate comments.

In your eyes, what would I have to do to be an acceptable commenter(1). Must I become a lobotomized toadying sycophant with a cute diminutive which I use to address Mr. Rædwald in order to blend? "Raedmiester" or "Raedikins" perhaps?

Query?
Do you often threaten Blog Administrators with departure when you don't get your way? What was that you said about being young? Those threats of yours are like a toddler: "I want, what I want, when I want it!"
Also, I reckon you have a rather inflated sense of your importance 'round here if you think your threat might change behaviours. No one is important 'round here - except Rædwald. If I was Rædwald, I would not in the least appreciate being threatened.

I am as Queen Lear, a girl more sinned against than sinning.

Dying of consumption is so romantic!
Every decent Bodice-ripper from Harlequin Romances has at least one heroine/hero succumbing to the heartbreak of tubercular shadows!
Michael Caine had TB in Alfie even! It don't get any more romantic than that, Innit?

Query?
In perusing your list I couldn't help but notice that listed after Bulgaria but before Tunisia is some country named
 Columbia. 
Where on the planet is the sovereign state of Columbia?.
Now I know where
 Colombia is, with its capital Bogota - City of Perpetual Spring, but Columbia? I'm flummoxed.

And MDR-TB is still easily treatable. Don't worry your paranoid little British arses about it. It's when you start recording cases of XDR-TB you have to worry. Take it from yours truly, a kitten-cute gamine and vamping courtesan, now riddled with an alphabets worth of Hep infections from years of selflessly(1) dispensing primary care medicine in the world's best shitholes.

Stinky old pet.

You seem to have veered off the point.

The post in discussion is about the prevalence of TB in London compared to other countries. Most would consider an increase of 50% since 1999 to be worrisome in one of the worlds foremost capital cities.

"...Britain is now the only nation in Western Europe with rising levels of tuberculosis, with more than 9,000 cases diagnosed annually. In London, where 40% of UK cases are reportedly diagnosed, the number of cases has risen by almost 50% since 1999, up from 2,309 in 1999 to 3,450 in 2009."

You seem to have wandered off into reminiscences about your earlier days and started wittering about the incorrect spellings of minor South American countries. I'm sure that your knowledge of capital cities is of great comfort to you and your mammoth ego but for the rest of us you come across as a pompous and charmless windbag.

Raedwald, I agree with you on a great many things and do not (yet at least) dispute your point that increasing TB in London should be viewed with concern.

However, I must call you out on, I think, two points.

Statistical equivalence. You are comparing, small areas (presumably election constituencies, local authority boundaries or similar) with whole countries. There will obviously be more statistical variation with these small areas than there will be with the larger areas. Thus, the numerical extent of difference shown in your table of comparison is not likely to be all arising from and in support of explanation you favour.

Cherrypicking. For your comparison countries, you have chosen those outside the First World that are particularly low, comparatively, on incidence of TB. Take a look at this map from Wikipedia. You have avoided countries with really high incidence of TB (more yellow), such as all of sub-Saharan Africa, the Indian subcontinent and China.

Best regards

No it ain't, and you're not funny either. My grandmother's older sister had consumption in 1907, and she died horribly, age 9.

In 2014, more than 6,500 cases of TB were reported in England. Of these, around 4,700 affected people who were born outside the UK

I am Asian and born 1979 in the country formerly known as Burma while me Mam was peddling her ass "on the road to Mandalay" and me Pa was being anal raped by Aung San Suu Kyi and her kin. So as a S.L.O.R.C. enthusiast by default ("cause we hate Suu Kyi and her half-breed crotch fruit), it is unlikely I would have Socialist sympathies. I gots me no book learnin' but I wrangled me 8 letters after my name and 2 before it by fellating the right people in the frozen wastelands of Soviet Canuckistan(That's Canada for you retards) after I emigrated from Myanmar via Paris,France and Bogota, Colombia settling in Toronto, Canada.
No family money, but I did make a few bob peddling my ass and coca in Bogota for a few years. I still to this day curse my youth for being too young to have appreciated my meetings with Pablo Escobar.
