Clearing up a common confusion

This is a nation with SOCIALIST medicine: 


SOCIALISED =/=SOCIALIST
and, just to be absolutely clear,
SOCIALIZED =/= SOCIALIST

Please feel free to print this out and distribute it if you find yourself listening to the sort of people that have seen me screaming at the news coverage all week.

I swear, if I was an American and some of the Libertarian loonies leading 'community' concerns came to my door, I would scream: 'COMMUNIST CONCERNS?? AIEEEEE! Fetch me the shotgun, Fido! Time to shoot me some trespassing Reds!'

Admittedly, this raises the questions why an American me would have a dog trained in gun fetching, and speak like Christopher Walken taking the piss, but let's just move on.

I KNEW Nancy Mitford had faked her own death!

An American asked me to marry him once. I'm still a wee bit afraid ...

Her spirit is haunting the internet, casting traps of obscure elitist English-usage for the unwary.

There would be lots of upsides. You may not get to benefit from a welfare state of any kind but you would get a really, really big fridge all of your own.

I would have killed him within the week. Although, as you point out, I could easily have hidden the body in his whitegoods for long enough to flee the country ...

Net!Nancy is probably the reason people who write bad porn receive static shocks on leaving their desks.

I LOVE the idea of Net!Nancy.

"Now really that is just too bad!" *zap*

'I think you'll find that isn't newsworthy.' *crashes Twitter*

Her and Evelyn Waugh have probably been responsible for all the glitches in Twitter, LJ and facebook recently *nods*

They also want to know what has happened to the intelligent conservatives.

Ghost!Evelyn used to haunt Hollywood, but gave up in disgust when Titanic won Best Picture. He decided to work with Net!Nancy when Auberon died and began frequenting all the best clubs in the afterlife.

Nancy made Evelyn cry with laughter when she accurately observed that Ronald Reagan was, retrospectively, a great Conservative intellectual.

Hee! Can't see being dead stopping those two's grand belittlement of everyone and everything. God knows there is still plenty for them to get their teeth into :P

Milton Friedman is more afraid of Nancy than Decca, which is quite the feat given that Decca knows her explosives.

Loosing the odd limb, especially when you are already dead, is not that worrying. Nancy, however, can destroy the whole fabric of your being and your right to exist, just by making a cutting observation on your table manners or trouser turn-ups.
