93 Men in a Boat (4) : The Champagne Socialist


As my regular reader will confirm, there's nothing I hate more in life than a bloody hypocrite - and the worst sort of hypocrite is the champagne socialist. You know. Bastards like Blair for example....

Anyway, I will not embarrass myself or you by telling you how much this latest trip cost us, but it does not take a genius to work out that 5 weeks in a boat cruising the South Pacific doesn't exactly come cheap! I don't think there were any poor people on board unless, of course, you count the crew and the expedition team.

While we were on a coach trip around Tahiti, we had an English guide who was married to one of the locals. At one point, she asked how things were going back home. One idiot immediately yelled out "We've got a bloody Tory government now that wants to put 490,000 of us out of work." My response was "That's about two million too few, chum."

Turns out that this paragon of the Socialist State works in local government, so might might ask how the fuck he can afford this trip in the first place on the back of the taxpayers' money?

But I digress...

One of our fellow passengers was injured in a fall on the bus. A sort while later, Mrs D was enquiring as to her well being, and commented that on a previous trip the boat seemed to have enough doctors on board to start up our own hospital. This was enough to prompt this twat to launch into a major rant about doctors' pay rates. "Well", she replied looking him straight in the eye. "There aren't any poor passengers on this trip either!"

This was like a red rag to a bull, and off he went again. "Some people can afford these things easier than others!"

Well, matey, this is what I suggest : The next time you are in agony and fearing for your life, after the operation just pay the surgeon half of what you were prepared to give him before he treated you.

But the piece de resistance in respect of this useless, two faced, hypocritical bastard is that his cabin was on the next deck up - so it cost even more than ours! What a prat!
