Dear BNP,
Fuck off.

Dear Labour Voters who voted for the BNP,
It may shock you to realise this, but David Cameron is a decent person and while I may personally disagree with many of his party's policies, they will not destroy the country. Giving power to a bunch of racist thugs will. If you must protest, and I accept there is a lot to protest, vote for the Conservatives. That you should vote for those execrable scum in the BNP at the same time as celebrating the 65th anniversary of one of the greatest stands against fascist bigotry the world has seen should fill you with shame.

Thanks to you, I can't see him without thinking of Draco hiding under a desk to escape him. This makes me giggle every time. 'Course, everyone just thinks I'm laughing at him because, hey, that's what you do... ;-)

I try not to think about the other options. I'd not stop crying.

At least he brings a smile to your face. And Draco can have fun while under that desk ... And Mandy is quite clever, I think. Either that or unbelievably lucky.

I forget sometimes just how clever he is. I think it's because when he does screw up it's in such a spectacular manner! Did you see those emails he sent last year to Draper about the PM? He writes dispassionately, very clinically, about how best to handle him. Almost like a psychiatrist. He reminds me of one of those 'special adviser to the king' types that you always get in fantasy novels - you know, the power behind the throne, architect of all plots o' doom, the one one who trips himself up with something bloody stupid and ends up dead. God, I read some crap.

I've little experience of them in fantasy novels, but there are several great examples of them in history, including Machiavelli himself. And yes, exactly right as to the archetype. The funny thing is that he was not wrong in what he wrote, only in committing it to type when a phone call would have sufficed and left no trace.

You d find that sometimes the cleverest people are utterly lacking in common sense (or are feckless, as my dad puts it)!
