Of course it was  patriotism that Samuel Johnson defined as ‘the last refuge of a scoundrel’ but there are cases when it is the prime minister’s office which is the last refuge,  where a person can escape prison…

The testimony today in the bribery case of our former and prospective prime minister may not lead him to prison, but it sure shows his disgusting values. 

The same trial is going on in the US about a former and prospective president.

When I was in my late teens I ran up against people like them – they always made my skin crawl in a way I will never forget.
