Chocolate Gorge


My other favourite comment on the Bradford West by-election came from Andrew Rawnsley - writing in The Observer - where he took a stick to the vainglorious claims of Britain's most famous political narcissist.

A good word that - narcissist - which means that if Gorgeous George was made of chocolate - he'd eat himself - which I think he probably would.

It is a very advanced form of narcissism to view a by-election upset in a parliamentary democracy as the equivalent of the moral courage displayed by those who have risked their lives in uprisings against entrenched tyrannies. This bilge is especially nauseating when it flows from the same lips which once offered their owner's warm salutations to Saddam Hussein."

Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
