Re: David Miliband Will Kill Us All
Fair play to Robin, he stuck to his guns and quit his job rather than get us into the Iraq mess. I think those kinds of principles and integrity are few and far between in modern politicians...
I could never in my lifetime imagine a Cameron, Blair or Milliband doing that...
Bring Jack Straw back ? I didn't realise he had gone anywhere...
In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!
Re: David Miliband Will Kill Us All
He probably means in terms of the foreign office, in which he has of course departed.
You are right though, there are not many truly principled politicians on the front benches of any of the parties anymore - the principled ones are stuck on the back benches for being just that. Very sad. The whole expenses thing is going to make it worse with more and more career politicians, sticking their noses up the leaders ... you get my point.
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.
