Colonel Gadaffi

[phildwyer]

Thatcher was obviously enough to put him off women for life.

I'll wager he was a celıbate. And so he wouldn't get elected dogcatcher these days.

He is a classic. He reminds me of a pirate. I could see him in an eye patch with a falcon on his arm. He is a james-bondian villain.Strolling around italy in a robe. Female bodyguards! His harem set up in the park. Kate Adie described him as the vainest man on earth. Blowing up airliners. He funded all the letters.Both the NF and the R.A.F. The PLO and the I.R.A.

Nick Griffin is old friends with the Colonel, I believe.

It was meant to be a day of global reconciliation, when the new leader of the free world put all the rancour of the past eight years behind him and heralded an era of unity. And so it might have been were it not for a short man, swathed in saffron robes and a black felt hat waving his arms around and shouting: "Terrorism!"

Gaddafi certainly knows how to woo a crowd, particularly at important junctures such as this. This was after all his big chance to cement Libya's re-entry into the bosom of the international community after 20 years in the wilderness.

The technique he chose to do so - cunningly - was to blatantly insult his audience. The representatives of the 192 nations assembled in the assembly hall were no better, he told them, than orators at Hyde Park's Speakers' Corner. "You make your speech and then you disappear. That's all you are right now."

Wry and I were howling watching him on the news last night. He might be a bastard, but fuck me he's amusing with it.

I think he was auditioning for pantomime season. Imagine seeing him live in Skegness.

[THINK!]

Why does he look so odd?

Is it because he's put on weight? I can't put my finger on it

I think it is plastic surgery and hair-dye.

Ghana used to be ruled by a Flight-Lieutenant (Jerry Rawlings), my Ghanaian friend adores him.
