The bloviating and wickedly decadent (but usually brilliant) Charles James Fox is speaking in Parliament soon and I don&#039;t want to miss another of his mordant tirades against William Pitt the younger and the government of that insane monarch, George III.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[media=youtube]nzj2MGRSvOE[/media]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
