It was not, and could not be, an exact replication of either book or TV series for very obvious reasons. However, I thought it captured exactly what I call the elegy to a long-lost England which le Carre's book illustrates so well.David Duffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-40236767497883889522011-12-30T16:35:01.254+00:002011-12-30T16:35:01.254+00:00Nobody is feeding me with mantras, Helen.

If you read discussions on this blog instead of using it for your rants (not that I mind though I am beginning to find them repetitive) you would see that there are plenty of those who disagree. Sometimes we convince each other, sometimes we agree to disagree. That is not what you are doing: you are ranting according to a fairly predictable pattern. Hence, the distinction between you and the other one with the Slavonic grammar and those who actually argue. You are, undoubtedly a troll who repeats well-worn matras. Those who disagree with me on something I write are people who disagree according to what they think or believe. There is a difference. Now take it back to the people who are feeding you with your rants.Helennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-5246011036262389862011-12-30T14:43:18.976+00:002011-12-30T14:43:18.976+00:00Hobsbawm is a scumbag traitor like to Noam Chomsky...Hobsbawm is a scumbag traitor like to Noam Chomsky, and both should have been shot years ago.Jabba the Catnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-7094993163929111522011-12-30T12:10:42.087+00:002011-12-30T12:10:42.087+00:00You'll have to forgive Helen, DP111.

In her world anyone who disagrees with her or who approaches a topic from a slightly different angle must be a troll ordered by Putin to post on her blog. (Even if you happen to have a generally favorable view of the anti-Putin protests as I do) The reason I haven't commented on her EU articles is because I generally agree with them having been a frequent reader of EUreferendum for years.Adrian Butterworthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-50880640040082979942011-12-30T11:18:22.422+00:002011-12-30T11:18:22.422+00:00So nice to have two trolls instead of one.

And it is good that the idiot Adrian Butterworth who is, on his own account, anti-capitalist, i.e. socialist and a nationalist, has now started reading other postings apart from the ones he is told to read, which is on Russia. Or is it the fact that I mentioned Mr Putin that drew him to this one? Interesting experiment to be conducted here. Oh and DP111, there is no "the" before Europe. Maybe it was a misprint but maybe you just don't know about articles and that, if I may say so, is a mistake made by people whose first language is a Slavonic one.Helennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-68628511208125552672011-12-30T10:50:15.812+00:002011-12-30T10:50:15.812+00:00Butterworth wrote: It is America as the violent e...Butterworth wrote: It is America as the violent enforcer of globalism and liberalism..<br /><br />Good point.

True leftists like the late Hitchens have been pro-American for years because they understand how America has changed since the days of the Cold War. It is America as the violent enforcer of globalism and liberalism which is now the seat of world revolution and the destroyer of culture and identity. America is Soviet Union 2.0.Adrian Butterworthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-69539424049426072562011-12-29T23:23:09.944+00:002011-12-29T23:23:09.944+00:00(As posted on a blog that links here:) If anyone w...(As posted on a blog that links here:) If anyone wants to understand why it is that the British establishment is entirely debauched they need know only that Robert Conquest has a CMG and Eric Hobsbawm has a CH.
