literally another aussie in london

watch out the (insert whatever country we are worried about taking over our country here) are coming

Whilst I have been in London I have learnt a new word.

Oligarch.

Not everyone knows how to pronounce it, it’s Rich Russian Twat.

It can also be pronounced as an Ex KGB Shady Fucker who can buy half of England.

Russians are buying everything over here.

Schools.

Football teams.

Buses.

Newspapers.

Children.

That is what the papers seem to be saying.

I am sure when Chelsea was bought by an Oligarch there was alot of outrage, how can some Russian bloke come here and buy our club, etc.

But when the Evening Standard, a paper that roughly 8 people seem to read now their are free evening newspapers, was about to be bought by a Russian, the word oligarch started being used alot more, and it never seems to be used in a respectful sort of way.

This does remind me of when Asians started buying up New Texas (Queensland), and some Australians were worried that Japan and China were going to own the whole state, well at least the good bits.

So far it still hasn’t happened, but i think more Australians would have worried far more if the Asian businessmen were called something cooler than Asian businessman.

From what I can tell the Russians aren’t coming, there are just a few rich ones who are expanding their empire, and one of them thinks they can do that by harging for an evening paper.

If he leads with KGB factoids, i might even buy the thing, but i think for the mean time England is safe from this evil ruski enemy.

I will say this though, Oligarch is such a great word, I almost want to be a Russian so i can be called one.

In fact, i want you to call me one.

I don’t care that there is a negative connotation, i don’t think there are enough cool words these days, and I want to be called on oligarch dammit, or a turgid yogalates instructor, your choice.
