demise of the stiff upper lip

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/7149940/Last-Mitford-girl-bemoans-demise-of-the-stiff-upper-lip.html

It was precisely this impression that convinced the rest of the world that the English were a superior race.

Stiff upper lip was an aristocratic and masculine virtue. Modern Britain now prefers proletarian and feminine vices.

The Domestic Partnership

I am now formally declaring that I have given up on love in the romantic sense, but not on love in the platonic and more enduring sense. Applications for the vacancy of a Domestic Partner - a cross between a housemate, critical friend and business partner - are invited. Sex and fidelity are optional, ie neither compulsory nor prohibited. Each "transaction" is deemed to be a one-off so that both parties are kept on their toes. There would be no assumption that either party would be spending, for example, St Valentine's Day with each other as a matter of course. So few people like this idea that the person, male or female, who says to me "My word, this is just the sort of relationship I have been looking for all my life!" without a hint of irony or sarcasm, would probably be The One .

So Cameron is now officially a promoter of Mumsnet? His take on children with SENs

http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/nov/20/cameron-tory-government-promote-mumsnet Well, at least he is making noises to the effect that he is not too happy about these older mothers with their Down's Syndrome and autistic children (which they like boasting about) shoving their children in mainstream schools, suing the school for their very own special adult to pick up after them and follow them around, slowing things down for everyone.  If your kind is a retard then just send it to a School for Children with SENs, even if you think this might "stigmatise" it rather than drag us all down, you selfish bitches.  The teachers hate it too, because they are not trained to deal with your retard with its behavioural problems when there are already so many "normal" kids with behavioural problems.  http://www.senlegal.co.uk shows that suing your school to give your specially needier child a special carer and special privileges has now become a legal specialisa...

Policeman commits suicide after being blinded and divorced

Beyond criticism?  Kath Rathband who divorced her husband after he was blinded. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/9114927/PC-David-Rathband-policeman-blinded-by-gunman-Raoul-Moat-found-dead-at-his-home.html Notice how no one is saying anything about the worth of the kind of wife who would divorce you after you are blinded. Perhaps that is just typically British, for the British have no pride and no longer feel any shame, as long as they get their way. Will any newspaper question the morality of the behaviour of such a wife?  Or are they too afraid of the stinking shitting pissing demented matriarchy? We know who is in power by those whom we cannot criticise: shit women with shit morals - sluts who breed the next generation of fatherless criminal looting bastards.  Now it would appear that shit wives who divorce their blinded husbands who are going through a difficult time coming to terms with being blind are also beyond criticism even by ...
