  "Plus, Kim junior is fat, which is emphasised by the way the close-cropped part of his hair-do offsets his chubby jowls. The old guys are gaunt, particularly the shrouded Jang. Clearly, therefore, Little Big Kim is saying that Kim the Elder's days of lobster, cognac and outre hair are not over yet, for so long as he's around."

• This bastardised libertarianism makes 'freedom' an instrument of oppression | George Monbiot | Comment is free | The Guardian

  Modern libertarianism is the disguise adopted by those who wish to exploit without restraint. It pretends that only the state intrudes on our liberties. It ignores the role of banks, corporations and the rich in making us less free. It denies the need for the state to curb them in order to protect the freedoms of weaker people. This bastardised, one-eyed philosophy is a con trick, whose promoters attempt to wrongfoot justice by pitching it against liberty. By this means they have turned "freedom" into an instrument of oppression.
