Nietzsche: In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.

 



'Bob' Seeley is one of several former soldiers turned British Conservative politicians. All are very annoying indeed. The old Goon Show phrase 'Military Idiot and Bar' comes to mind. 

This sort of nonsense reminds me of the scares about German waiters etc etc in the period before the 1914 war. 

Do people never learn? Yes, they learn from the mistakes of the past how to make more mistakes in the future.
