The British Empire was built on cups of tea, and if you think I'm going into battle without one, you're sorely mistaken!

He stumbles upon a valid point that during paedogeddon there was a big confusion about what exactly the law was supposed to be doing wrt child protection, and a bit like how we can't ever agree whether prison should be for segregation, rehabilitation, or punishment, so it ends up being poo poo at all of them, we can't agree on how best to minimize the actual harm and exploitation of children and so end up lashing out in wild directions, but there must be a thousand better ways to say that while sounding like less of a nonce.

You're being too kind here, there's a reason Rod Liddle walks like a nonce and quacks like a nonce, and it's not because he's a duck.

Now now, he never specified if those Samaritans are good or bad.

That bible story always bugged me.

Jesus might not have been saying "Imagine that one of those filthy Samaritans was the only helpful person on the road!" but if you've called your modern organisation 'The Samaritans' and forgotten to include the "good" part somehow is like calling your organisation 'The [N-Words]'.

Which wouldn't fly for obvious reasons, so why is is OK to discriminate against Samaria?

Then: BREXIT will free us of the perfidious EU's global warming conspiracy.

Now: Um... bit warm out innit?

A few bad apples

Yeah. but what are you supposed to do when you find a few bad apples?

Bin the rest, and bleach the fuckin' barrel.

That's what the metaphor means!

Wouldn't it be awful if someone without the proper credentials drove an HGV full of petrol into Scotland Yard.

Just terrible! Thankfully there are measures in place to make sure such a ridiculous scenario could never happen.
