					<description><![CDATA[There&#039;s another expression:  Too clever by half.

The silent qualifier at the end of that is &quot;a class.&quot;

When one tries to be to clever by half (a class) one is trying his damnedest to rise above one&#039;s station and may well get the riches from the action, but never the respect or repute aspired to within any class above the original one.

One such action is enough to define a person and certainly a party of them.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Gone are the days when we hit international headlines because of our valour in the Libya crisis. For being on the right side of history from the start and for not setting the fighter jets back and for being focal to saving people&#039;s lives.

Or for making a farce out of our and the EU&#039;s citizenship. Selling it blindly, no strings attached, and retaining our clients anonymous.]]></description>
