Would it not be somewhat concerning for someone who addresses all and sundry as 'Comrade' to be invited to the town house of our illustrious royalty?
Comrade Liz??
(Though to be fair, most military personnel seem to refer to her as 'Auntie Betty'.)
Dearest Comrades Enuff-Zed and Pondrew,
Nay, you are quite perfectly incorrect in your perceptions and assertions in regards to 'Comrades'.
'Comrades' is universally defined throughout the whole of Christendom as: "A companion who shares ones activities; or is a fellow member of an organisation".
So, there you have it, it is nay my fault that the Trotskyites and others of a similar communistic bent have purloined the word 'Comrade' and in so doing have invoked an wholly disparate definition.
As forever is the case, I may have one or two faults, but being wrong has never been one of 'em. All this notwithstanding, I would confirm that I was wrong once,... but that was when I thought I was wrong, but wasn't
With kind regards,
MAD
