Pussyfooting with intent

By Rex Ringschott - posted Monday, 15 January 2007


There’s so much pussyfooting going on in this country that the people have a right to be scared. Nay, they have an obligation. The Prime Minister is right to raise this on the anniversary of September 11 - otherwise it just wouldn’t carry the necessary symbolism.

It was an exhausting day for me, but it was a job that needed to be done properly, and by someone that knows what they’re doing, and I hope you appreciate my efforts.

You’ll be pleased to know also that I made it back home again safely, and I hope you did too. If you did then you can count yourself lucky, and you might just start thinking about how much pussyfooting your nextdoor neighbours, your friends, even your family is doing.

On the other hand if you didn’t make it home safely ... well, don’t say you weren’t warned.
