6.11.2022 dávali v televízii starý slovenský film Zemianska česť, na ktorý sme takmer zabudli. Nevieme, či ho v telke dávali v súvislosti s práve ubehnuvšími voľbami alebo hroziacimi predčasnými voľbami do parlamentu, ale či už tak alebo onak, načasovanie nemohlo byť lepšie. Ide totiž o satiru na predvolebnú frašku sfilmovanú podľa románu Jána Kalinčiaka Reštavrácia.

Napriek tomu, že román pochádza z roku 1860, je až neuveriteľné, ako nadčasovo je napísaný, pretože charaktery a charakteristiky postavičiek, ako aj ich správanie, možno napasovať na všetky politické figúrky, ktoré sme u nás doposiaľ mali a stále máme. No a rovnako aj na voličov, ktorí tieto politické figúrky volia.

Repríza televíznej klasiky nás priviedla k zamysleniu, kde sú korene takého správania a takých charakterov. Vzhľadom na dobu, kedy román vznikol, je zrejmé, že s tým určite nemá nič spoločné obdobie socializmu, na ktoré sa často zvaľuje všetko zlé, čo sa u nás dialo a deje. Takto sme sa správali už dávnom pred socializmom. Je to teda v nás, v národe, v našich génoch, že sme takým falošným, úplatným, bezzásadovým a bezcharakterným národom? Necháme sa kúpiť za klobásu či poldeci pálenky?

Odkaz románu do dnešnej doby

Dá sa teda pobaviť a zasmiať aj na takom starom filme? Určite áno, najmä keď si v jeho hrdinoch predstavíme naše súčasné politické postavičky. Realita dnešných dní však, bohužiaľ, nie je ani trochu zábavná, takže ide skôr o smiech cez slzy.

Ako sa to vo filme vlastne skončilo? Všetci sa pobratali, funkcie si podelili a obidve bandy vládli v podstate spolu. Nikoho ani vtedy nezaujímalo, ako je na tom krajina, ako sa vodí obyčajnému ľudu. Za všetko hovoria posledné slová filmu: „Nuž, ľa! Čo sa statočný zeman natrápi, kým vyjde na psí tridsiatok!“. A čo tak parafráza na súčasnú dobu: „Nuž, ľa! Čo sa statočná Slovač natrápi, kým vyjde na psí tridsiatok!“.

Nuž, od toho asi už nemáme ďaleko, keďže sa od Kalinčiakových čias vlastne nič nezmenilo. Ale môže sa, stačí iba odstaviť podarených politikov a hlavne volebný systém, ktorý im šafárenie umožňuje. Práve preto je tu tento portál, aby poukázal, kde je podstata tohto zla. Kým si neuvedomíme tieto fundamentálne okolnosti, nie je možné ani hľadať riešenia.

Román Reštavrácia a film Zemianska česť tak ostávajú nielen skvelou komédiou, ale aj mementom, že tváre sa síce menia, no politické taktiky ostávajú zhruba rovnaké. Voľby boli, sú a vždy budú iba fraškou pre verejnosť, zorganizovanou ziskuchtivými a mocibažnými indivíduami.

  29. Forget tiny chihuahuas peeping out of handbags à la Paris Hilton, or Taylor Swift with her adorably grumpy looking Scottish Fold cats who have become celebrities in their own right. 

    When it comes to capturing my heart with a cuddly creature, it’s the likes of Arnold
    Schwarzenegger, 75, who’s reinvented himself as the internet’s favourite granddad with his wholesome life with a menagerie of animals, who has won me over.

    The jewel in the crown of his ever-growing brood of beasts
    is Schnelly the pig, who joined the family in April last year, making the star the latest in a long list of
    celebrities to realise the joys of a porky pal – along with Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus and the Beckhams. 

    I’m completely smitten with the cuteness of pet pigs.
    I lose hours scrolling through Instagram, looking at pictures of furry little piglets with pretty pink snouts.

    There are 255,000 Insta posts with the hashtag #petpig and I’ve
    probably looked at all of them. Then there’s the 286,
    000 posts hashtagged #micropig and I’d hazard a guess that I’ve seen all of those too.

    So I’m rather excited to discover that there’s a pig farm less than an hour from central London, where I
    can find out what it’s really like to have a porcine pet.

    While celebrities might get away with turning up to photoshoots, TV appearances and fancy restaurants with all manner of furry creatures, will I get the same reception if I take a pig for a stroll down the high street?

    The pair stopped off at The Griffin, a private members club, bistro and bakery, for some refreshments after a trot down the high street 

    Samantha Rea spent time at the Kew Little Pig Farm
    in Amersham, Buckinghamshire to learn how to muck out and care for pigs 

    Learning how to feed hay to the pigs did
    make Samantha question whether it’s easier to stick with a dog or cat as a pet 

    I’m hoping the Kew Little Pigs Farm will help me find out.
    It specialises in miniature pigs, which pig lovers can buy or
    ‚adopt‘ to visit on the farm.

    Then there are the day trips. The Piggy Pet & Play package lets visitors ‚pet, brush,
    groom, watch and play with the pigs.‘ The Pig Enthusiast package can include putting sun cream on the pigs, and the Comprehensive
    Guide to Pig Keeping teaches you everything you need to know before buying your
    own micro pig.

    Clearly I must go there!

    And so I head to Amersham, in Buckinghamshire, where
    Kew Little Pigs Farm is based.

    When I arrive, owner Olivia Mikhail looks slightly concerned at the sight of
    my Converse trainers and cropped jeans, a
    combination that will surely result in splattered shins.

    However, Olivia has no idea just how prepared I
    actually am, because I have packed not only knee high
    wellies for my time on the farm, but also my designer heels, for my glimpse into what life’s like as a pig-owning celebrity.

    Comedian John Bishop was left devastated when his rescue pig Milo passed away last year, describing
    him as the ‚heartbeat‘ of the family

    Paris Hilton started the chihuahuas in handbags craze, and is also
    the proud owner of Princess Piglette

    George Clooney, Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus, Jonathan Ross,
    Charlotte Church and even the Beckhams have all kept pigs as
    pets over the past decade or so, while more recently Ariane Grande and Pete Davidson adopted Piggy Smallz during their short-lived romance. 

    Comedian John Bishop gave rescue pig Milo a home for more than a decade and was devastated when the pet passed away, saying he was the ‚heartbeat‘ of the family.

    They’re as much a celeb accessory as oversized sunglasses – which is why I’ve brought those with me too.

    But first things first. Before I spend an afternoon taking a petite pig for a stroll, I sit down with Olivia in the Kew Little Pigs cafe, to complete the theory side of the Comprehensive Guide
    to Pig Keeping.

    It turns out there is quite a lot of admin involved in owning a pig,
    alongside a rule book thicker than Harry Potter. 

    Who knew that you needed a license to walk a pig?

    Who would imagine that you can’t feed pigs your kitchen leftovers?
    It used to be common practice, but has been banned because of the risk of diseases such as African swine flu and foot and
    mouth disease that can be spread by consuming contaminated pork
    products. 

    Who can fathom having to fill out a form to drive your pig from
    one place to another – again for disease control reasons? 

    After all the admin and mucking out, Samantha was
    delighted to move on to the fun part – cuddles with Astrid 

    Samantha found that mucking out the pig pen was actually a lot more
    civilised than picking up poo on a dog walk 

    Samantha came armed with wellies for her day at the farm, but made sure to keep it glamorous 

    After swapping her flimsy trainers for wellies,
    Samantha felt equipped to tackle her day on the farm 

    And who would guess that pigs have to have their
    own house? I mean, it’s only got to be about the size of shed, but it’s actually a law to uphold
    welfare standards.

    I suppose none of this is an issue for celebrities who have people to do paperwork for them – not to mention acres
    of space – but to me it seems insurmountable.

    Olivia senses that my dreams are crushed and attempts
    to reassure me: ‚It’s really not that much paperwork. Look, filling in this form would take two minutes.‘ 

    Moving on from the theory, we head outside for the practical part
    of the course. Here, in large pens, are lots of little pigs which are super cute,
    so this makes me happy.

    I am given a rake to claw the pig poo into a dustpan.
    Both the rake and the dustpan have long handles and I like the distance this creates.
    It is certainly more civilised than picking up poo in a flimsy plastic bag on a dog walk. 

    Clearing away pig excrement with proper equipment which allows you to maintain a civilised,
    and sanitary, distance makes me wonder if – despite the paperwork – pigs might just
    trump dogs.

    Samantha was worried she might attract stares walking Astrid through town,
    but nobody batted an eyelid 

    Samantha treated herself to a hot chocolate while Astrid
    enjoyed some pig treats 

    Samantha swapped her wellington boots for high heels to glam up to
    take her pet pig down to the town centre for lunch

    Taking a pig out for a walk is trickier than it looks, and a lot of treats are required to
    keep things on track 

    Next, Olivia asks if I would like to feed the pigs.

    Yes of course! She hands me some hay that’s stuffed inside what’s basically a large fishnet stocking,
    the size of Santa’s sack. The hay sticks out of all
    the holes, and it’s my job to hang up the sack in the pig
    pen, so the pigs can eat from it.

    This sounds easy. Only it’s not. ‚NOT THERE!
    NO! IT’S GOT TO BE HIGHER! TIE IT ROUND THE POST!
    NO! NOT LIKE THAT! NO!‘

    I feel like a failing contestant on The Crystal Maze, only this is
    worse because I’m now surrounded by hungry
    pigs and I cannot see a panic button.

    I swear there was something on Netflix where murdered
    bodies were dumped in a pig pen, to be eaten by the pigs. Or maybe the
    bodies were eaten alive. This definitely happens all the
    time, according to TV, and now I don’t even know which is worse,
    the prospect of being felled by pigs eating through my
    ankles, or the pressure to hang the hay correctly.

    It is like my challenge on The Crystal Maze has been especially devised to amuse the inhabitants of
    hell.

    I find myself grateful to make it out of the pig pen alive.
    Surely I get to do celebrity stuff now?

    Celebrities‘ pigs are as stylish as their owners, so I’ve sourced designer outfits for my trottered chums.
    I’d initially looked at diamond chokers by
    Dior, because what pig wouldn’t want a diamond collar?

    But apparently pigs are happier in harnesses, which fit around the body, not
    just the neck.

    I hunt for a harness that an A-lister might pick for their pig, and I am delighted to discover a pink leopard print
    harness with a matching lead. 

    It is by Urban Pup, a pet fashion brand whose website I’ve now spent more time on than all the other websites in my search history.

    There’s the zebra print, the cheetah print, the
    pink argyle; the florals, the tartans, and the hearts.
    There’s the range inspired by Legally Blonde and the pet
    carrier that resembles a pink Chanel handbag.

    Then there are the socks…

    I turn up at the farm with more outfits for the pigs than I have for myself.
    I guess this is what it’s like being a pig parent:
    #SELFLESS

    I am introduced to Astrid, a 16 month old micro piglet
    who’ll fulfill my dreams of walking a pig. I show Olivia all the outfits
    I’ve brought from Urban Pup and she picks out a pink tartan harness with a matching lead.

    I want to dress up all the pigs but Olivia says no.
    That’s OK. There is probably some law about only one pig at a time looking
    this stunning.

    When Astrid and I are dressed, we head into Old Amersham.
    It’s a pretty market town in the Chilterns with cobbled streets and quaint white
    buildings with beams.

    So how will locals feel about a pig on a lead?

    I imagine I may be sternly spoken to by a member of the Women’s Institute.
    However, it turns out that Old Amersham is perfectly
    au fait with celebrity antics, given that Poirot, Midsomer Murders and Four Weddings and a Funeral
    have all been filmed there.

    On my pig keeping course I have learnt that pigs never
    poo where they eat, sleep or socialise, because they’re
    very clean, so from day one, without any training,
    a pig will go outside to poo.

    I am surprised then, as I arrive in Old Amersham, to find that Astrid has done her business in her carry box.
    I try not to think about this, as I hold her lead.

    Our first stop is the Amersham Museum. I’m not a massive
    fan of walking around looking at things, but I hear the museum homes a Tudor dining table that visitors are welcome to sit
    at. It is about lunchtime, so I’m hopeful I’ll be
    served a Tudor banquet. I quite fancy a tankard of wine and a
    bit of wild boar.

    Unfortunately, Astrid does not, and so, despite being
    welcomed by museum director Briony, we leave pretty
    much as soon as we arrive.

    We go for a stroll instead, but I have to scatter pig food pellets to coax Astrid along the pavement.
    I guess celebrities get their assistants to walk
    ahead, trailing treats to entice the pet pigs
    in the right direction. 

    Hard at work: Writer Samantha Rea tried the Comprehensive
    Guide to Pig Keeping, which  teaches you everything you need to know before buying your own micro pig

    However, doing it without an assistant, I find myself
    thinking that it’s definitely easier to walk a dog.

    Celebrity life is about lounging in luxurious surroundings,
    so Astrid and I head to The Griffin, a private members club, bistro and bakery, that’s pretty
    much the Soho House of Amersham.

    In the beamed building that dates back to
    the 17th century, there are gorgeous leather sofas and
    cosy cushions. However, I have learnt on my pig keeping course that pigs are happiest
    alfresco, so Astrid and I take a seat on the astro-turf terrace, beneath a pretty parasol that wouldn’t be out of
    place in a Cotswolds shoot for Tatler.

    It is here, as we relax like A-listers, that Astrid and I are at our happiest.
    As I sip a coffee and eye-up a chocolate brownie (I’m being a celebrity, remember, I don’t actually eat these things),
    Astrid puts her trotters up on the seat beside
    me and enjoys a few pig food pellets.

    Clearly this is our natural environment, so it’s probably just a
    matter of time before Astrid is snapped up by a celebrity to live life first class. 

    But for now, Astrid must mooch back to the mud, and
    I must head home to wash pig poo off my wellies.

    I am chuffed to bits to have spent an afternoon with Astrid, but as I think it all
    over, on the train back to Marylebone, I know that I’ll never
    keep a pig as a pet. 

    Aside from all the legal red tape, my lack of space in London, and the trickiness of trying to take a pig for a walk, there’s always
    the fear that the micro pig might turn out to be not so
    tiny after all. 

    I’ve seen headlines about 4 ounce „teacup“ pigs growing bigger than a bear,
    and frankly I find it terrifying. So I’ll leave the pet pigs to the
    celebrities.

  47. Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was
    super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying
    your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing.

    Do you have any tips and hints for novice blog writers? I’d really
    appreciate it.
