Well
my little apartment in the fashionable suburbs of Hackney which is the new
Inner City Green Belt (between Victoria Park and London Fields) has a microwave
oven and a little fridge in the corner. Nothing wrong with that. And as it's only
5 minutes from the Regents Canal I might entertain a
mermaid there. A shower stall, showers beat baths; they overflow less and you
can wash your socks in showers.
And there
are green organic signs all over the place so I may take a leaf out of your
book and sell my bottled wee-wee to the hoi polloi and become a proper capitalist pisstaker.
Since reading of the lawsuit against a German merchants banking house in the City by sacked staff who claim their ex-employers owe them bonuses for, I presume, unproductively (those fat arses got fired after losing loads of money); and 6 Haringey social workers who got fired (or ‘de-hired’ in the jargon of the would-be upper class of beauraucrats in today’s classless society) for letting a baby get beaten to death by two neo-Nazi nonce’s from the National Front are suing for six-figure compensation I get a feeling I ought to start being greedy too, and my rationale follows:
If our society rewards greed and laziness then those are our new virtues. Now an ancient Greek philosopher I think Plato wrote that a virtuous man obeys and upholds the law and follows the example of the City Fathers; I think he was trying to justify the death sentence the Athenian state imposed on Socrates for disputing the wisdom of said City Fathers. I.e. ‘The government is always right’, so I must bow to the great wisdom of the Establishment and practise greed. After all, getting rich beats drinking hemlock and the Eurocrats are debating legal euthanasia.
Sayonara, gentle reader; catch you later (I’m just off to eat my friend’s noodle salad),
