It’s Charles Dickens’ birthday, and he would be flabbergasted to see how civilisation as he thought of it is being gleefully dismantled by venal hypocrites, sinister buffoons and raving narcissistic autocrats whom he would have rejected as villains too grotesque even for his novels.

Pray you once more,
Is not your father grown incapable

But what he did being childish?
