[Ssf] BREATHE EASY BROTHER: (a proposal for sf project)

[noone noone]

Ok, maybe i miss-read your email as a resignation from politics.  So to 
clarify... you are still going to political meetings, still doing political 
stuff but you arent going to political demonstrations.

but after reading this [1] i odviously jumped to conclusions.

for now
cuthbert


[1]
"i aint going to give a monologue / diatribe / reasons as to why i have come 
to
the conclusions i have: this thought has been omnipresent for over 2 years: 
in
the last few months i have made every effort on my part to participate in 
the
petit bourgeoisie / often middle class politics: i have reserved and 
de-toned
my thoughts and feelings abouts the circus of politics here in sheffield: i
have made every effort to get along with some of the clowns: along with the
very real lovely people (sadly thay are few) and just get the feeling i'm 
just
tolerated / patronised oh it is just mozaz? now there are a few and sadley 
it
is just a few who understand the complex person that is mark mozaz wallis: 
over
the last few days i've had very long deep conversations with deacon dave and
armchair hippy about honesty: it is just a shame those who ask me to be 
honest
are not the same towards me: so upon reflection sheff utd winning 3 - 1 
against
the villa it seems right to say 25 years is enough of this and move on: over 
the
last week my self and armchair hippy issued this statement:"

"i now resign from the politcal circus hang up my clowns uniform to let it 
gather
dust and if there is another fool who desires to be the court jester of
sheffield politics then i'll be taking the uniform to oxfam in the next few
days and you can purchase it from there:"
