Royalist Seat of Muses Snowed-in


A picture taken outside my Oxford college earlier this week. A very British-looking snow-fall. The town has become just that bit more magical.

I know. I was hardly being serious. Crumbs. Are we not allowed the odd moment of jokey bad taste on this blog?

Lighten up, 'wot'.

There, I've deleted it. Editor's privilege. I know, the arrogance of being Lord High Moderator, but it goes with the terrritory.

Very dispiriting. No escape from the dead hand of political correctness, it seems.

I assume it was deleted in case people missed the jokey intent and took offence. Since no homeless person has access to the internet, however, none of them could be offended by it. I also find they have a very good sense of humour.

Instead, as has become typical everywhere, we have to worry about people like 'anonymous' taking offence vicariously. I think it's rather repulsive of people to go about being offended on behalf of other people; it's a schoolboy eagerness, an immature impudence, we might do well without. It's masochism in search of sadists.

Yes, I know, but talk of the homeless is ruining the magic of the british snow-fall.

Very true.

I hate to break it to you Scott - making jokes about the homeless is SO 1980s.

mrcawp said...

What can I say? Oxford moves behind the times.

Sir Edward Heath said...

Just like the homeless then.
