Accidit stercore!<br /><br />2. Boris's emulaltion of Latin brevity is having some political impact. Invoking the Incredible Bulk connects with the public more than one of John Major's "not inconsiderably" long speeches, or May's tortuous circumolocutions or Blair's virtue signalling dog-collar sermons or Brown's cod learning ("endogenous growth theory"). <br /><br />3. Christianity's real roots are in poverty,exclusion, minority experience and oppression. Beard is just distorting the record by scrolling forward 300 years to score a bogus, undeserved political point. Despicable in someone who claims to be an "academic" interested in the truth. <br /><br />4. Said my piece on Cameron on the Open Thread - A Notorious Big Liar in my estimation. <br /><br />5. The Roman Empire was probably the most successful state ever for sure so Kudos to Julius and co. Looking to the Eastern Empire it survived as a continuous state entity for about 2000 years, albeit not covering the same territory. Probably only Egypt can surpass that (China has had some major discontinuities). That said, surely Alexander the Great has got to be in the Top 3 most interesting people who ever lived. Well if not Top 3, Top 10...who from the past who never did it would you like to hear on Desert Island Discs? lol <br />Monkey Brainsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-17957454986207628992019-09-15T22:24:02.875+01:002019-09-15T22:24:02.875+01:00Purgamentum init, innit.Purgamentum init, innit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
