What’s good for the geese is good for the ganders
[ by Charles Cameron — with modesty for all ]
.
Some while Back, I posted a piece titled Concerning the enforcement of morals, in which I quoted the upper section of this DoubleQuote:
The lower panel comes from one of Aymenn Al-Tamimi‘s tweets today, in which he offered us a glimpse of an Islamic State of #Iraq and ash-Sham pool party near Latakia in Syria.
That’s it: fair and balanced modesty.

I recall talking with an old gent who’d been a doctor to some Saudi nobility, his description of what it was like *under* those voluminous folds .. well .. “beggars the imagination” might begin to impart the sense of utter unspeakable atrocity .. Kurtz’s words in Apocalypse now also go some distance, “the horror, the horror” ..

Point of clarification: which “voluminous folds”?

The men in the picture are in Syria, the shopkeeper was in London…
