The Nastiness of These New Nasties Supersedes All Previous Nastiness

Britain's lack of wog-bombing in the Middle East cannot long continue, according to what passes these days for a couple of elder statesmen; in this case Lord Dannatt, the former head of the army, and Sir Malcolm Rifkind, who served as Minister for War and then as Secretary for Wogs, Frogs and Huns during the post-Thatcher interregnum that preceded the rise of the Reverend Blair. Both of these gentlemen have intervened to warn Britain's Head Boy that his unfortunate experience in trying to defend Islamist rebels from Bashar al-Assad should not deter him from leaping into bed with Bashar al-Assad in order to attack Islamist rebels. Regrettably, Britain's leading liberal newspaper makes no mention of Rifkind's qualifications as a mercenary contractor; his outfit, ArmorGroup, was gobbled up by the famously efficient humanitarian organisation G4S, but it is unclear whether Rifkind was made redundant, or whether he stayed on to continue the good work.
