Don't hold back, Theodore

Theodore Dalrymple: From stiff upper lip to clenched jaws | Opinion | The Australian

Theodore Dalrymple really lets fly in this Spectator article, which seems to have appeared in The Australian on Saturday:

The doctrine of rights has borne putrid fruit. In the ward recently was a young woman of the now very extensive slut-babymother class, whose jaw was clenched in a habitual expression of world-destroying hatred. Her glittering saurian eyes swivelled mistrustingly, on the qui vive for infringements of her rights. She exuded grievance as a skunk exudes its odour.

I think Theo has retired recently (was this his last piece for The Spectator?) A pity in a way, but probably good for his blood pressure.
