Honour among thieves?
As official scribe to the Felons and on behalf of The Burgulars, thieves. Thugs and Fiends Association (as well as The Rogues and Scoundrels Society), I have been asked to thank you for publishing our August letter in your illustrious magazine.
Our members were delighted but wish to point out that three very important words were missing from the paragraph headed Treason.
It should have read as follows: Treason: Not representing the interests of those who elect them. * Actually we are morally superior in this respect - we do represent our members interests!
Is there honour among thieves?
Let us say that our members are in agreement with that famous adage “An Ounce of Loyalty is worth a Pound of Cleverness”.
