Me? A mouthless submissive? Not on your nelly, mate.

Here's another article by the stirrer at the Daily Wail called Peter Hitchens. It's no wonder that the British are creating such a drama over wearing face masks.


I quote from the article: 

"Now it [the State] presumes to tell us what to wear. And what it wants us to wear is a soggy cloth muzzle, a face-nappy that turns its wearer from a normal human into a mumbling, mouthless submissive."

Firstly, a muzzle wouldn't be that easy to take off and secondly, it doesn't stop any human being from shouting out or just speaking normally. 

Soggy? My dear Peter Hitchens? How much do you drool normally?

Face-nappy? 'Scuse me? You are going to defecate and pee into that piece of cloth?

Mumbling? Speak up, matey. I had problems understanding the English when I worked in London. I even went so far as to have a hearing test when I visited my Oma in Berlin when I was still working in the UK. The ENT doctor said I had perfect hearing. "So," I said to him. "It's official then. The English mumble and that's why I have to ask them to repeat things all the time." He agreed with me that that must be the case.

I have no problem making myself understood even with my double-layered, hand-sewn cloth face mask. Just speak up and enunciate.

Mouthless? Am I bodyless when I wear clothes?

Submissive? Me? Seriously? Just because I have a bit of cloth over my mouth for a few minutes? Come off it.

And that is why we have such a parlous state of affairs in the UK. People who think like that - and the fact that they actually get published and read and even believed by so many readers who are unable to think for themselves and so swallow everything they see in print.

God help us. Please.

  1. I preferred Christopher Hitchen. He was much more entertaining than Peter.

Preposition proliferation

Have you noticed how, over the years, prepositions have been creeping into places where they never used to be? They seem to be proliferating...
