Quote of the day.

"We hear an awful lot of leftie whingeing about NHS waiting lists. Well the answer's simple. Shut down the health service. Result? No more waiting lists. You see, in the good old days, you were poor, you got ill and you died. And yet these days people seem to think they've got some sort of God-given right to be cured. And what is the result of this sloppy socialist thinking? More poor people. In contrast, my policies would eradicate poor people, thereby eliminating poverty. And they say that we Conservatives have no heart."

Alan B'Stard

Rik Mayall played the corrupt, sleazy and utterly odious Conservative MP Alan B'Stard in the uproarious political satire The New Statesman, written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, which ran from 1987 to 1992 as well as returning for a number of specials.

Looks like B'Stard got it right all those years ago. How this present Government of dullards and old Etonians hate the poor eh. Bring out ya dead !

I was saddened to read of Rik Mayall's death. Unfortunately most of my fellow Americans only know him from the putrid nineties movie "Drop Dead Fred" but my first exposure to him was "The Young Ones" and, later on, "Blackadder." For some reason his portrayal of Herod in "Jesus Christ Superstar" sticks out for me. His Herod was a sleazy MC in a 1930's nightclub and I found it hysterically funny. I need to check out "The New Statesman." Thanks for the quote.
