Docta George has I think been reading too much Private Eye. He always was a nacascistic c$$t.

Cradock picked the third option that was the end of his story. Whether he was right or wrong is yet to be determined. As for Zinn, the corpse of social democracy has long turned to dust long before he joined Marx.

Ushekim, you just remarked that “his legacy is yet to be determined” and then went on to conclude with “end of story.” Quite impressive.

Zinn’s corpse isn’t even cold yet. Not slow to pick up the slack, are you?

Not withstanding the previous commenter’s ignorance, Cradock’s legacy is yet to be determined. Namely, would you leave HK as perpetual British outpost of a 19th century imperialist relic, an irritating pimple in the guise of a weak but superficially independent democracy, or usher its closure by unity with “motherland” relevant or not, or as they say, for better or worse? Cradcock obviously took the most pragmatic option. End of story.

Who he? You’ve had your quota of obituaries for this year. It’s getting to be so morbid…

Oh yes, he was that faceless Whitehall c$$t who caused Patten all the trouble.

He must have loved anagrams – he married someone called Byrthe Dyrlund.

All the more reason then to reveal that Sir Percy Cradock = Accord Sick Pryer.
