Quote Of the Day: The Priggish Society In Which We Live
PRUDES. Banstabation. Prigs: “Some social critics go on about The Permissive Society, but what we are really facing is The Priggish Society currently being created by busybody politicians and other authority figures… Going out for a night in a bar with close friends is now denounced as “binge drinking”. Smoking an occasional joint means you are a “drug addict”.

I agree, society is Priggish. I always thought Scotland was quite a free place and two minutes after we got our own Parliament they started banning things and bugging us about everything they didn’t ban.
They even had a campaign to stop us bullying Anorexics - who ever bullies Anorexics??? We’re too busy trying to get diet tips off them.

I think we would be classed as “Cyber addicts” June.
Which is, of course, total nonsense. We’re really a fine group of witty, social commentators. Always ready to comment on vital issues of the day.
How’s that? Sound good?
