Ah, yes, ...but there comes a time, Jo, when you have to stand up to
these monkeys and hold them accountable, ..tell them we object to them
taking us for mugs. Whilst it's true they know all about jungles, and
consider it Rome, it's not possible that they all believe they have to
be monkeys and Hoot to do that. The unashamed and unwashed are easy to
spot, and forgiveable, but the flash ones with gold teeth are not.

Katrina was an impartial reminder, but the same mess washes over us
every day, from some direction or other, if we don't do something about
it. Just knowing that it can happen is not enough. Repulsive measures
are sometimes necessary.
