at least it wasn't me fucking a dead dog in the ass . . . .

So...not dead?

Is this the fucking essence of being nearly 60 and growing older still:

no fucking end to the goddam cancer of cynicism ?

No, mon ami.  It is called having a growing sense of reality.

Key isn't as bad as all that, honestly. He's conservative, but a comparatively mild and enlightened one. He kinda-sorta personally supports gay marriage (now that a majority of the electorate do), attends church purely as a social convention, while he has publically disavowed belief in an after life, isn't entirely hostile to some form of a welfare state, and is at best lukewarm on privatisation of government services.

We could do worse. And, if Labour don't get their collective head out of their bum, we just might.

no whiff of taint or peccadillo ?
