Helmet saved Dubya's life

[Tony Raven]

Dubya has fallen off his mountain bike when he hit a patch of loose soil on a
downhill while riding a 17 mile loop on his ranch in Texas . He injured his
knees, hand, chin and nose. He was wearing a helmet and mouthguard (?).
Afterwards in an interview the Leader of the Free World commented "I am
indebtified to my helmetification for savericating of my life. God bless
America" Mr Bush is 57

It's perfectly feasible to be a Conservative cyclist. I'm
one.

It's even more feasible to be an anti-war
Conservative. I'm one.

I don't know what it was like where you are but round here
in the pre-war phase it was not all cosy consensus and
rapturous support for the party line supporting Blair.

Us Tories place much value in the ideas of national
sovereignty and the self determination of nations. You don't
just go round invading and killing unless you are under
direct threat. There was no demonstrable threat before the
invasion and time has shown that there never was.

The Westminster Tories made a grave mistake in supporting
Labour on this one. It was not universally popular in the
party. It was universally unpopular with the country.

And I don't buy any of the Labour line pointing out that
Saddam wasn't a very nice chap so it's all OK. It isn't.
We've effectively chucked international law to the wind and
committed the world to a might-is-right philosophy.

I never imagined I'd see the UK leading the invasions of
three countries (Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq) in wars of
aggression without international support or UN sanction.

How's that? I don't think anyone, in his case, would notice
any brain damage that a helmet might (or might not) avoid...

And I corrected yours. This one could run and (oh &deity.

But I didn't advocate sending you to a death camp for it. I
just pointed out you were top-posting, you are are you not,
that is what I observed?
