A Better Class of Criminal?

Yet another searing indictment - if ever one was needed - of those bloody toffs trying to take over the country has been on display in the press this week. I refer, of course, to the trial of British mercenary Simon Mann, for his part in an attempted coup in Equatorial Guinea a few years ago. Needless to say that he is an old Etonian - see, the bastards aren't satisfied with just taking over this country, they want to seize everybody else's as well! It's all part of that sense of superiority they inculcate in pupils at British public schools - they turn out people who truly believe that they are the natural ruling class. We shouldn't be surprised that the former Prime Minister's son, Mark Thatcher, has been implicated in this abortive coup. He really is the unacceptable face of privilege. The fact that he owes his entire position and wealth to the fact that his mother is Maggie Thatcher, rather than to any skills on his part, doesn't seem to bother him. He may have come from 'new money', but the attitude is the same as the established 'ruling class' - they happily exploit wealth, power and position which they have inherited by accident of birth, rather than acquiring them through merit.

I daresay Thatcher will try and justify his alleged involvement by saying that he was simply trying to acquire Equatorial Guinea for his mother. She needs a hobby in her retirement and, being so used to running a country, he thought the perfect gift would be the dictatorship of a small nation nobody had heard of, or cared about. There's a part of me which hopes that not just Simon Mann, but all the other toffs, including Mark Thatcher, involved with this disgraceful adventure, are arrested, convicted and locked up in some disgusting third world prison for a very long time. You know the sort of place - hot, sweaty and serving buggery for breakfast. Perhaps twenty years of taking it up the jacksie from some psychopathic sex murderer might teach them some humility. The trouble is that they'd probably enjoy it - it would be like being back at public school for these degenerates. Much as it pains me to say so, but perhaps the death penalty is the only suitable punishment for these bastards. But not death through buggery - I wouldn't want to leave them with smiles on their faces.
