Just discovered that would-be Lib Dim leader Chris Huhne, he who twenty-five years ago was caught on camera demonstrating with wild hair in Oxford, was forced to admit in a recent interview that he owns seven houses. "We have two that we use" (?? I personally find it difficult to be in two places as once, but then I'm not a Lib Dim superstar) "and five that I let out. It is perfectly compatible to strive for success and be ambitious and also want to help the poor, the sick, the chronically ill and the unemployed." Not normally it isn't. It is more usually compatible with thinking that the poor should just be a bit more ambitious and a bit more subservient and should pull their fucking fingers out.
"We shouldn't vilify people for being successful." Yes we fucking should, if being "successful" meant working in the City and taking a cut of every bit of honest business done and gambling with other people's money, all the while living on guaranteed salaries and bonuses, i.e. earning money for turning up. We can't vilify them enough.
It'll be "Seven Houses" Huhne for evermore. At least I hope so.

His greed at owning seven houses is the NICE part of Huhne! To read about his truly objectionable side - see:

I shouldn't worry too much, the chances of him ever being in a position to wield any kind of power out here in the real world are so slim as to be almost non-existent.
chris_almighty! - Excellent blogging, recording stuff that he mustn't be allowed to forget, in the unlikely event of ever attaining a position of any importance. He can have the records of his divorce locked away, but he can't silence the blogosphere.
nick - You're quite right, but that's not reason why we shouldn't trash the bastard, is it?
