Thank you. Like Churchill, I’m a firm believer in the fine art of lovingly hand-crafted insults.
And slights, of course - but such delicate subtlety is wasted on Nazis. Then again, oxygen is wasted on Nazis, and they should really cease using any. To be fair to them, given their demonstrated cognitive capabilities, they’re evidently already half-way there.
As a Brit, I salute your efforts in keeping the art of insult alive.
Unfortunately, sharp whit is wasted on these evolutionary deadends. The only thing fitting for them is being on the receiving end of “creative” activities that will make the writing hand tremble of the poor Swiss who is now compelled to add several new lines to the Geneva Convention.
That’s incredibly flattering coming from the foremost modern practitioners of the mighty slight. Especially since I used to live and work in the UK - back when that was still possible, pre-Brexit - and indeed honed my craft on your fair isles.
Well, you know what the Canadian Colonies have to say about it: “It’s never a war crime the first time”. Or my personal addendum: “As per the Golden Rule, it’s never a war crime when you do it to Nazis”.
This is gorgeous prose.

…Or fucking Russians. But I repeat myself.
