Certainly a lot of front, m12, must be enjoying the spoils of war, at least living off the fat of the shareholder's land.... plenty of good rich food, no doubt.... definitely on a good paddock.
Did he fight in Angola? Hey, it is possible....
I think he could have set out with some noble ideals, perhaps had some grandiose plans when he was mixing it with the cream at Oxford.
Maybe we could borrow a speech from a Liberal Speech Writer, perhaps even a Bishop's underling and have it delivered by someone "worthy"..... just in case the current ruler falls on his sword.... who will fill the gap? who is worthy?......
(what about this well known speech, paraphrased)
"I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our position, to ride out the storm of disgruntled shareholders, and to outlive the menace of ASIC, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.
At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of my lot-every one of them. That is the will of moi. We must hang together, or most assuredly we will hang separately. But let us not be beaten, let us not weaken in our resolve.
With the rightful British leadership and the Australian low hanging dollars, together, we will defend our cultured lifestles in native soils, aiding us when holidaying abroard.
Even though large tracts of shareholders have fallen or may fall to other investments, even with the odious whinging by the riff-raff of our ways, we shall not flag or fail.
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight incognito,
we shall fight on in meetings,
we shall fight with growing front about pies in blue skies, we shall defend our lavish lifestyles, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the letter of the law,
we shall fight on our own grounds,
we shall fight with Johnny's golden foot,
we shall fight with our strong forward pack,
we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this lifestyle or a large part of it had to be moderated, then our assets beyond the seas, armed and guarded by unknown vaults, would allow us to carry on until, in our good time, the New World, with all its low hanging fruit falls into our worthy hands and again makes POMEs of the old."
pick the best caption....again.., page-35
