Chang

Goodbye everyone for I shall not pass this way again. As a last suggestion for the forum as it languished beneath the iron hoof of Sean may I recommend 3Bob to lead the new Mod team - for he and Sean are obviously of one mind.

a quite faithful friend to show me what i fear most the mirror of truth my last haiku's here for I am gone like a leaf driven by a gale driven by a gale to pastures fresh and grass green for to graze anew

I think that we have to face the fact that Socialism is a form of insanity and that its adherents are sufferers. Socialism, like Liberalism always ends in financial and moral ruin. This happens again and again whensoever the Left comes to power but they always return like the proverbial bad penny tub thumping for social justice, equality and cultural and racial intergration which they deem entirely possible and beneficial if they are only given the power to bring it about. After all they are the good guys on the Left, all the villains being to the right. Of course we have to forget about Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and all the others. Unfortunately the zeitgeist in the West is presently Left Wing and Liberal so our decline is particularly marked at present. There is some hope however as more and more of us start to see the light. Unfortunately for the likes of Sean and Apech there is little hope, for having eyes they see not and ears they hear not. This is a Seans thread so in all fairness he can exclude the likes of me should he so wish. It grows both tiresome and irksome attempting to enlighten the Left and is hardly worth the effort.

Good man Apech for you are as constant as the Northern Star and I apologise for suggesting that your views may have changed.

No need for concern Sean as there are still Socialists and Left Wing Liberals a plenty left in the forum; though the Dao Bums, as with society in general, is now experiencing a healthy shift to the right. One could use the example of Apech. Once a firm supporter of all things left wing, liberal, multi ethnic and multi racial his firm beliefs appear to have been shaken in recent years, at least that is how i see it but if he thinks differently then I am sure he will let us know.

The Brexit deadline grown nearer by the day and all of the problems which existed for Theresa May still exist for Boris. If he is to deliver Brexit on October 31st it will be a case of his bulldozing it through and it remains to be seen if that is possible. Ursula von der Leyen has already intimated that she would be happy to see the Brexit date further extended ( a typical tactic of the E.U. and she will be suggesting another E.U. referendum next) and so we must not underestimate the task Boris has. The only certainty is that there are fun and games a plenty ahead.

no one to write it this tale of woe thats my life just as well really

I mean exactly what I say, no more and no less.

prompting eu-no-ia you must be joking old boy I just wind them up.

I do not doubt that you were very impressed Apech old boy, you are after all a champagne Socialist yourself.

dancing in the rain soaked and thinking how I'll be wringing out my socks

Upon unseen breeze My memories drift away Leaving calm repose

No doer in sight For to do without doing Is the right action.

The Dao call me home As the kind mother calls to Her unworthy child.

No longer binding Oaths made in my callow youth Which age has broken.
