Bullying vs. the price of fish – does it beg the question? To see those fine fellows of Oxbridge or Harvard kick those dangerous mullahs from Al Quaeda, the Taliban, Iraq or Palestine right round the pitch, one finds oneself a bystander at a game of Bullying, masquerading, emperor-like, as a game of Quiddich, where we are invited to understand that the latter is a real game of global righteousness and importance.
Price of fish? Trade slavery enough for you boss? The Fellows snatch bagfuls of colourful and tasty choses from hapless, luckless and gutless classmates, inmates and primates. "Otherwise I’ll kick your fucking teeth in."
[Angrily] Bedrooms, playgrounds and pirate impregnating stations are veritable breeding grounds of humanity…For too long now have our playgrounds seen the strong overcome the poor (oops) the weak. (This rabid intoning is indeed a natural tick). "Look at that lovely man, Mr. Bush, brave upholder of the Faith", croon our natural mothers.
Humanity will shortly be in our grasp… Is that either without beggars, thieves and child molesters or, without bullies pimps and liars? I personally like mine shaken and stirred. Please, sir, can we change Armistice Day for Amnesty Day or perhaps another couple of A’s I can think of? Oh yes! I recollect, I think I must have fallen in love when you stopped pointing your gun at me.
Oh yes – ‘the order of things’ as conveyed by our man of the Faith and replicated in that ill-informed global institution, Playtime. There’s more chance of achieving World Peace than banning bullies from being bullies. Nay, convene a bunch of ‘achievers’ to commence navel-gazing sessions on the evils of bullying in schools rather than disembowel adult suffrage.
My Dad (a bully himself) repeated to me that millennia-old myth of standing up to ‘them’. Centuries later appeared our friends the White Supremacists aka Western Civilisation. Then, quite recently, y’know, along came the real saviours in all this, Al Quaeda, The Taliban, The Palestinians and Saddam Hussain. All the White Boys got into a huddle near the dinner lady who said: "Say a little prayer for me". The Black Boys disappeared from sight and the White Boys ran off to find them, upon which the Black Boys carried the dinner lady into the canteen and held her for ransom. The White Boys careered screaming back into the canteen upon which they offered 3 conkers and a Pokemon card for the release of the dinner lady upon which the Black Boys confessed their sins and the White Boys repeated "God is Great" three times.
