цитирует ВС Найпола - о правительстве Блэра:
"...cultural philistine ... a champion of an aggressively plebeian culture that celebrates itself for being plebeian ... Prime minister is a captain of pirate ship ... Every day you hear on radio some minister from this appalling government saying something about things no longer being for the privileged few. This has destroyedthe idea of civilization in this country."
Прямо письмо вождям.
Вообще,
возмущению Гвардейца нет предела - сноб, пессимист, VS Nightfall, предубежденный против негров и Ислама. Нобелевский комитет принял ссвоевременное, но неверное политическое решение и отправляется на свалку истории вместе с Силвио Берлускони.
Хотя , кажется, дело в вышеприеденной цитате...
Но на первой странице радостно дается другая
цитата:
"I've met Tony Blair a few times and I find him to be an American with a British accent," said US Representative Peter King, a Long Island Republican and a longtime critic of British policy in Ireland. "He is able to relate to Americans because he has none of the bluster and pomposity that you find in some Conservative British politicians."
То же самое, да?
