Paisleys, nice and nasty

There was a Monty Python sketch where a guy walked through a department store, past "The Paisley Counter" where a menacing man was holding forth about "the iron boot of the Protestant empire".

I'm sorry such beauty shares an association in my mind with a man who once made me spit at my own TV.

There he was, calling for "internment on both sides of the Border". When I calmed down, I thought, "Fine -- they can lock him up on both sides of the Border."
