Age is not in itself proof of validity or right to exist. A violent racist old man is just as detestable as a young violent, racist man. very nice

I am really curious to see how this plays out. If Jedi-boy wins his suit against the Job Centre, I am going to start the First Church of Frank Sinatra, where it is my religious duty to wander around in a tux all day, drunk and smoking and sue everyone who tells me to put my cigarette out.
