For Lefties too Stubborn to Quit
Today’s Telegraph has – as its editor’s top choice on the website no less – a piece by Ruth Dudley Edwards on the Lisbon Treaty. I can’t face writing a proper post on it, so I’ll just note the following quote

Mad as a bag of hammers, old Ruthie.
Louis XIV helped the Catholic James II’s Irish campaign against his son-in-law and successor, William of Orange
And not a whisper of the fact that the fucking Pope was backing William against the Catholic James, and Te Deums were ordered sung at the news of the outcome of the Battle of the Boyne (so much for the Orange Order’s chief chronicler).
