In other random poo-flinging, why the hell has nobody, Newsnight included, picked up on the fact that Paul De L'Aire Staines spent the late 1980s in various ventures supportive of the Afrikaans Nationalist government of South Africa, and therefore has personal reasons to despise Peter Hain? Ignorance is no longer excusable.
We quote, from the invaluable Altered State:
"I was a fanatical, zealot anti-communist. I wasn't really a Tory, I was an anarcho-capitalist. I was lobbying at the Council of Europe and at Parliament; I was over in Washington, in Jo'burg, in South America. It was 'let's get guns for the Contras', that sort of stuff. I was enjoying it immensely, I got to go with these guys and fire off AK-47s.

You're not the first to ask that about Staines. I, for one, would pay good money to know what he was doing in Johannesburg in the 80s.
We could do that, I suppose; I mean pay good money, as a reward.
My best guess is carrying some tit like John Carlisle's bags.
Send a cheque and I'll tell you (might even throw in some photos).
For free you can know this, I had nothing to do with John Carlisle and
I was a supporter of the liberals, not Nats. But don't let that stop you ranting.
I hate Hain for the same reason everyone else hates Hain, he is self-serving slippery cunt.
South African Liberals? As in Alan Paton?
We want names.
The liberals used to shoot off AK-47s? Who'd have thought it.
"Send a cheque and I'll tell you"
And here I say (and not for the first time):
I'm not buying your story, Paul.
Incidentally, I thought "anarcho-capitalists" (and what a crock that line is) thought of "self-serving" as a good thing.
Just a thought, but wouldn't "ananarcho-capitalist" be better employed doing some, y'know, capitalism related things like buying and selling stuff, rather than parasiting on the political scene?
