VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Matt Westwood|DATE|1372152141|CONTENT|This one started so well, it was bound to crash into the wall the way it did. It ultimately turned into a classic canonical TFTD: bad stuff in news, sensible unarguable-against comment about it, then a bletheringly witless nailing of a solution based on how good one&#039;s religion is at fixing such problems.

&quot;With the recent political direction the Western world has taken, the problem of poverty has greatly increased, specially in etc. etc. But never mind - Christmas is coming, and Santa Claus will give us all lots and lots of money!&quot;

And on such an OT note, I saw on our local news last night that a certain rich &quot;philanthropist&quot; has donated 25 million quid to the project to restore HMS Victory. Oh good. That&#039;s money that&#039;s truly well spent and no mistake.|EMAIL|prime.mover@proofwiki.org|IP-ADDRESS|81.142.211.61|MODERATIONFLAG|
