Mums the word
My mother is the undisputed queen of blue-rinsed, pursed-lipped, dogs arsehole-faced ignorance. A brief selection of her greatest hits:

- On hearing that Lord Owen was heading up the UN peace mission in Yugoslavia; "If that doesn't prove he's been a KGB agent all along then I don't know what does".

- On the news that the queer-hating serial killer Colin Ireland had been apprehended; "Can't they just let him go to kill some more of the perverted bastards?"

- During one of our many, many arguments; "Just because it's a fact, doesn't make it true"

- On ethnic minorities; "They should make more effort to blend in with whites. I don't like seeing so many different colours around."



There are so many more, but I think my brain is blocking them as bad childhood memories.
