Gis a Job, mate?, Fiona Osler, Get
Ethical
What becomes of former dictators when their ‘glory days’ of ousting
governments and terrorizing and getting rich off of its citizens
are over? In the case of one ‘Valentine Stasser,’ reputed by Fiona
Osler in Get Ethical to be a ‘former dictator of
Sierra Leone,’ moving back home, sponging off mom and trying to get
a job is the only option. After a coup overthrew Stasser’s regime
and shattered his plans of lifetime dictatorship, ‘Thankfully,’
says Osler, ‘Mum was there to wipe his tears and is proving very
understanding about her lazy-arse son cluttering up the front
room.’ The only problem is, with no other job skills besides ‘a
talent to undemocratically take over countries,’ who will hire
him?
