Oh Cory …

There is an Australian federal backbencher named Cory Bernardi, who is almost entirely ignorant of history outside of the Famous Five books and for whom the phrase Utter Mup Mup might well have been invented.

He has written a book. In his book, he is generally contemptuous towards everyone who is not exactly like him, and presents the fantasy that In The Past, everyone was exactly like him. To which I laugh uproariously and shout, 'Seriously? I mean, the Royal Commission into child abuse in religious institutions is ACTUALLY ON NOW, you don't need to go back to the Industrial Revolution and gin palaces!'

However, there is one good thing about the book. These reviews on Amazon. Thank you, people of the internet. I love you.

LOL! I read those too. I think my favourite was "one man's lonely fight against everything since the Enlightenment."

I have to laugh, otherwise I'll start researching job opportunities in New Zealand and I've only just finished building an extension on my house.
