Many thanks for the link. :D
I love this one too:
"The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money."
(Margaret Thatcher)

Guess they picked silly nickname, because "Thatcher the ale, gin and whisky snatcher" would be aimed at their own habits, not matching their populism. ;)

Wonder how will the new mayor of London https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadiq_Khan treat those dregs , though since there was fatwa cast upon him for his social-democrat beliefs, he's rather likely to identify himself with his leftist electorate...

I'd like to see how Khan of Sadists combines opposite values he claims to be following:
- as Sunni Muslim, Quran expects him to oppose values praised by his leftist electorate (especially LGBT, radical feminists and socialists), because they contradict teachings of his beloved prophet;
- as "socialist democrat" , the leftist dogma indicates that "religion is opium for people and has to be liquidated" , and Islam is a religion. Religion with 300 million worshipers, thus posing threat to state atheism.
Nobody ever managed to merge water with fire; it seems Khan doesn't have many possibilities:
- converting LGBTs to Islam with apparent protests of Salafi and Sufi (Muslim conservatives) (rather unlike to happen)
- announce the existence of new branch of Islam called Sadist-Khanism with Khan as new prophet (theist anti-theism LOL );
- causing new civil war to occur in the British Isles (it'd had been a tragedy).

Anyway, the term "iron fist" might be not a well known word, but it comes from a russo-communist proverb that first appeared on a poster sometime in the fifties.
It has been translated to Hungarian like this: "Munkásököl vasököl / Oda üt, ahova köll" (The worker's fist is the fist of iron / It hits wherever it is needed)
Unfortunately I couldn't find the original poster where this slogen is written, but there was another version, where the fist rushed into a ball room with noblemans, and there the motto says: "You cowards! Did you really want this?" : http://imagestore1.blogger.hu/25_23295_663881_c3f36ab46633d0f4e907b2358184980e_3816a3_301.jpg

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
