Dave Spart meets Asterix the Gaul

Oh dear:

"Press Statement from SOLIDARITY SCOTLAND'S SOCIALIST MOVEMENT, Mon 6 Nov 2006

"In 46 BC the captured Gallic leader, Vercingetorix, on the way to his execution, was paraded through the streets of Rome by Caesar to mark the fifth anniversary of his victorious campaign to quell revolt in Gaul and Germania, a campaign which secured the Roman Empire's European possessions for many years to come.

"On Sunday, November 5, 2006, pictures of Saddam Hussein in the dock receiving the death sentence at the end of a nine month 'show trial' were beamed round the world - a world increasingly controlled by a new Roman Empire with Washington DC its centre of power.

"Over two thousand years seperate the ignominious end of Vercingetorix and Saddam Hussein at the hands of an imperial behemoth, yet the parallels are striking. Simply put, both men stood up to the prevailing global power and both were destroyed"...etc, etc, etc.

Read the rest of this politically illiterate gibberish (if you've nothing better to do with your time), here.
