The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.

The Lady is freed at last
At last Aung San Suu Kyi has been released from house arrest by the Burmese Junta. In and of itself this is a great day. For what it's worth I am delighted but I can'tt help wonder what next or how long before the vermin junta and their parliamentary puppets contrive to return her to captivity. Let's see what happens next.
Nevertheless it is my deepest wish that she sees the junta and their puppets consigned to the gutter

Mandela was freed 20 years ago, and didn't go back. Though his ideals have become a bit shopsoiled in the hands of some of his successors, who left them on display in the window while having their hands in the till in the shop behind the scenes.
What a great lady!!!!
I hope she has the same personal legacy Steve even if Mandela's successors have pissed on his principles to an extent
She is Kay!
It is a great day and one to be celebrated.
But like you I wonder what will happen next...
I fear that she will not be free for long Cherie
Will she be allowed to be politically active? That's the question...
That is a good question Claude
I don't think she's going to be allowed to be politically active but I'll hope I'm wrong.
I hope she is but I fear she will be banned
