Mr Brown is not great at spelling it seems..and his handwriting is abit shit
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/campaigns/our_boys/2720283/Prime-Minister-Gordon-Brown-couldnt-even-get-our-name-right.html
But I don't really think it equates to disrespect. He'd have to be inhuman to do that. There is a political capital fight between labour and conservatives (the sun) but neither side can claim the monopoly in its fight to seem more compassionate. Sending journalists to a grieving mothers house to bash the labour party is hardly gallant..in fact its quite sick. More sick than being crap at writing letters.
There is no point in Gordan Brown doing anything. Anything good wont be reported and bad stuff maginified till eternity. He may as well try and sail down the Thames on a slice of bread. Though if he did 'The Sun' would say the crusts are a sign of disrespect to soldiers or that Peter Mandelson is meeting Mr Hovis in his corrupt mill while brown sails about without a care in the world. Tossers.

Da BNP innit
Well Nick Griffin took his seat amongst the mainstream last Thursday and well he came accross as exactly what he is a) policyless b) pretty retarded c) essentially a small man enlarged by enemies
Is this the start of the BNP becoming a mainsteam party? Nope...people don't really vote for the BNP, more they dont vote for other parties because they are pissed off with them. Its a bit like being pissed off with someone but instead of arguing with them you just keep punching yourself in the face to prove a point. Well done Britain you have punched yourself in the face and now your fist is on Question Time.
After Question Time his fans will like him more and his enemies (normal people) will hate him more. Untill the likes of the Daily Express start saying maybe he has a point about some things and normal people start hating him less then the BNP wont have a foot hold. When that sort of thing starts happening then its time to really worry. But I dont think Nick Griffin is anywhere near savvy enough to take advantage of anything

Walk into the jaws of hell
http://bnp.org.uk/2007/12/is-the-bnp-racist/
Is the BNP racist? Nah! Oh well maybe a bit..but we all are a a bit aint we? They just want whats fair...hmmm one day this will be considered a liberal interpretation of BNP policy if they get their way.
This is a charming message one of their supporters left.
"What a bunch of gutless MPs we have. They are too scared to put the interests of this nation and her peoples first. We now see the results in huge rises in TB, HIV, AIDS and every other kind of infection, not to mention the cost of treatment and neglect of our own folk. Fact. Pre-Labour we had approx 700 cases of AIDS. The latest figures are now standing at 73,000. Thank you Labour. Things can only get better you sang. But for whom?"
http://www.avert.org/uk-statistics.htm
It's the twisting of facts that is hugely dangerous (Its was clearly not Labour who sang things can only get better, it was D:REAM. Get your facts right fucker) but its also an inability of the mainstream politicians and politics in society to deal with the issue of asylum in a sane way. Give the facts as they are and tackle this on head on.
Immigration is a fact of life, always has been and always will be. Its literally why we are all here and why the world keeps turning. The need to migrate is innate to human beings. Despite the slightly ridiculous notion of statehood, invented quite recently, people still want to move around. We need to stop pandering to peoples base instincts for short term political gain. Politicians get political capital, papers get money and Nick Griffin gets elected all because everyone refuses to deal with this like grown ups.
Is it the system of the current type of capitalism that's let people down? Possibly. Except its not, as it makes no promises to normal people. We the normal people rise and fall on the international systems whims like literal slaves..we work when they lets us, when moneys tight we can fuck off...then they make us blame each other while they wait for the world to turn again. Time to stop pandering.

Expenses expenses expenses
Arghhhhhhhh is it just me or is there nothing else fucking happening than MP's claiming for a Twix and Tampax?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8043447.stm
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/
Its open season on politicians right now and this is a cross party issue. Its obviously a poor system which really is designed for another era. Its important no one feels they cant become an MP for economic reasons so a system where a London flat and work related expenses are covered..fair enough maybe.
I think this is illustrative of the fact the public and MP's have never been further apart. We don't know or care what they do or don't do for us and it appears constantly in the press that they are some sort of weird weed taking and taking from us while making the garden look shit. We really are only interested in negative stories about MP's. If Gordon Brown tomorrow saved six kittens, found Madeline McCann and brought baby P back to life we'd be waiting for the expenses from these missions to be published and jump on it. We hate them all of them pretty much. In times gone by we'd be storming Westminster but we wont cos really deep deep down be dont care anymore. We don't care about this story the media is increasingly either printing stories for themselves or sprouting platitudes about the latest celebrity to declare themselves a cat or kidnap an African. Everyone would claim for whatever they could in an MP's position Is it right? Nope, but in every work place up and down the land this kinda stuff goes on. Most of us are so incompetent its a wonder we don't get lost every time we leave the house. Its all crap.

Jade and the mainstream Badger
It comes to something when Micheal Parkinson decides to have a go.
http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/tv_and_radio/article6048656.ece
In the 'Radio Times' no less he said this:
“She was brought up on a sink estate, as a child came to know drugs and crime, was barely educated, ignorant and puerile. Then she was projected to celebrity by Big Brother and became a media chattel to be exploited till the day she died.”
If you are someone who is chastised by Parky in the Radio Times you really are in trouble. Its like being clobbered by a very elderly mainstream Badger in a publication so mind numbing even a prisoner in solitary confinement would do no more than wipe their arse with it.
He's right in a way. But having a go at her because she was not afforded opportunities early on in her life and used her minor celebrity to claw her way to a new life is a little churlish. Parky of course hails back to a previous celebrity age where celebs by in large were actually good at something and actually had a talent!
Today we don't really require that from our celebs. In fact we would rather they were not fast, clever or good as it makes us feel bad. We celebrate the mediocrity of average singers, people etc from the comfort of our arm chairs pressing little buttons with our fat fingers in televised 'talent contests' while real talent scraps away in little ghettos of culture largely ignored. We want to feel success is only just out of our reach. Jade is the ultimate example of this. Shes famous for being like us. A bit racist, quick to judge, stupid but ultimately someone who will put whatever rag tag of a family they have first.
There are a number of myths about Jade making out she advanced to cause of cervical cancer simply by having it in public is a bit stupid. She is not Marie Curie. Its like ignoring the fact you know cars take there owners from A to B all the time but whenever a member of your family comes home in one you welcome them like Magellan coming home and wonder if they were not perhaps sent to you from the gods. Cars and Cancer are unfortunately every day things and positing than Jade is saving women from cancer is poor attempt at giving her life and by extension ours a meaning. Putting her alongside Jesus as some sort of savior ain't really the point.

Men are they rubbish look at the way they pack
Back 20 years ago it was perfectly acceptable to advertise or populate the view that women were half way inbetween a human being made of porceline and a really fluffy pair of slippers. For example it was all about scenes of men swooping to the rescue or women looking after men in some way. Of course that was all crap and it went so far you cant really begrudge abit of revenge. Witness the adverts saying "so simple even a man can do it" or the supermarket one where a 'man' has forgotten to put something in the trolley prompting his female companion and the check out women to give each other a knowing look before saying "men, what are they like?"
What a fucking idiot imagine going to the supermarket and not putting something in the trolley. Kill him...castrate him or something...oh know actually he's a man and we gotta take the rough with the smooth.
Men are crap of course and if women had a choice no man would ever be with any women. The problem is that it may be a mans world but when a man enters the world of relationships he will be entering a womens world and doing so purely on her terms. Suddenly all sorts of things men either ignored or actively went against are no somehow central to his life.
For example a single man packing for a holiday. Grab a bag, take a hand full of clothes from each of the three draws and done. Of course this means single men wander round on holiday with a Spar bag full of j-cloths, socks and puppets but it only took 5 mins. Men in a relationship are forced to spend two hours packing which involves one hour of the man pretending to pack by looking at piles of clothes as though he's judging the fucking 'Turner Prize' then the next hour being guided as to what to take in a similar manner the the way Stalin guided the industralisation of Soviet Union.

Daily scare
Yeah having a go at the daily mail is easy and predictable. Like pointing out Hitlers ideas were abit mean or perhaps George Bush could have done more to the image of America around the world. The Daily Mail, Hitler and Dubya could not really give a toss cos they are successful in their own ways. Though they obviously shouldn't be. But I fucking hate the daily mail even more specifically I hate Melanie Phiilps a sort of vicious pseudo 'voice of reason' who writes sensationalist pc bashing, multi cultural bashing bullshit. Her last few articles are entitled as follows...
I recognise she is strirring up controversy with sensationalist headines as it sells and gets readers...
Her latest opinion piece is about Gail Trimble(http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1154145/MELANIE-PHILLIPS-What-mob-really-hates-Gail-Trimble-glowing-self-confidence.html) who is supposedly so clever she answered ever single question on university challenge even before Jeremy Paxman had got out of his filthy pajamas in the morning. Paxman famously does not wash his nightwear on a point of principle. Well done Trimble face but since when did answering quiz questions become the number one barometer of how we judge intellect?
Why don't we just let pub quiz teams design rockets or elect whoever wins who wants to be a millionaire as our leader. Which would make Chris Tarrant some sort of god like figure. Shrines where the theme tunes to who wants to be a millionaire and Tiswas would be played until they reached a furious frenzy and then we'd sacrifice whoever could not name 3 Grace Kelly films.
Trimble may or may not be really bright but her performance on University Challege is not overly relevent. Its the same sort of championing Carol Vorderman got. Because she is on the fucking telly and she knows her prime numbers she is lionised as some sort of Archemidies figure. 'Its on the telly...thats where all the great people live'
Back to Phillips her is an article she 'wrote' about the BNP. http://www.melaniephillips.com/articles-new/?p=646
Here she attacks the BNP for cynically using issues and stirring up trouble by irresponsibly twisting issues. Which she does not do in anything she writes. Such as her demurely titled 'Londonistan' book which in no way does the same thing.
As far as I can see they are all on the same wrong headed, reactionary path and willfully misinterpret current affairs and history. They may as well claim that seagulls are ruining UK life or as Phillips constantly suggests the cradle of liberty. If I was going to keep liberty in anything it would not be a cradle. It's a fully grown adult now and makes its own decisions. People making out our liberty is a little ickle baby ready to be kidnapped by the (deleate as appropriate) EU, Muslims, Labour Party, PC brigade, Melanie Phillps, Power Rangers, people who work in moble phone shops whoever are on the wrong path. Its pretty robust and aint that easily offended.
Our police were never guilty of 'institutional racism' and it's time this witch hunt ended
Alfie, Chantelle and the sheer madness of sex education that teaches nothing about morality
British police running from Muslim demonstrators, a Christian nurse facing the sack for offering to pray for a patient - this is the way a society dies
Sorry to be a party pooper, but I can't share this swooning Obama hysteria
The age of the snitch - how public sector informers are creating Stasi Britain...
I recognise she is strirring up controversy with sensationalist headines as it sells and gets readers...
Coal discovered in Melanie Phillips whorey old vagina
its quite simple really.Her latest opinion piece is about Gail Trimble(http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1154145/MELANIE-PHILLIPS-What-mob-really-hates-Gail-Trimble-glowing-self-confidence.html) who is supposedly so clever she answered ever single question on university challenge even before Jeremy Paxman had got out of his filthy pajamas in the morning.

Money
Right so apparently the UK is in so much debt that we'll have to scrap money altogether and rely on a system of noise bidding. Items are flogged according to who ever makes the loudest noise. Though we'd all end up cheating and just playing recorded elephants having a paddy fit.
This reminds me of an idea I once had. Basically people would buy things as they do now but instead of taking the goods home people would put the things they buy into big skips. So all the items everyone in the country had purchased that week would be in large skips. At the end of the week the skips are emptied and the goods distributed entirely at random. So for example you buy a car but your sent a Kerry Katona biography or you buy a funeral for your recently deceased mother but get sent a travel guide to back packing in the Andes. You get the picture.
Sounds silly yes...well maybe but its no more stupid than what we have been doing. "Oh look there's the crappy thing I really want. Oh but it cost £900...hmm oh well I will buy it using this magic card a pixie gave me that plucks money out of free air! Yay" One months time "Shit I have to pay the fucking pixie back!" This sort of economic la la attitude affected the people at the top of the financial food chain even more.
If for the last 20 years financial institutions were controlled by a duck, Phillip Schofield, the banker from 'Deal or No Deal and the knife that was used to stabbed Monica Seles we would be in no worse a situation. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7898871.stm
I think the major problem is though its a serious situation its also unforgivably dull. Like a particularly boring horseman of the Apocalypse. Conquest, Violence, Famine, and Disease these are exciting. Why can't we have one of those crises? Some do but they don't affect tubby middle England. But this disaster is so boring I can't concentrate on it. Its like a mass murderer before sticking the knife in reads at nauseating lengths his notes on his idea for a kettle that will only boil water to optimum drinking temperature...actually that's a good idea, wheres my knife?
So in short we are fucked but in such a boring way that in a typical 21st century response we cant be arsed thinking about it...which may in the end just save us.

It's just awesome init..no not really
Having lived in London for a insanely short time I am not able to give a definitive view on whether or not it's a supremely great place to live, full of cool people and essentially like a big city version of the scene Paolo Nutini awakes to in his overexcited tribute to his fucking new shoes. But any claim that London is the coolest city in the world must surely be tempered by the fact it's the capital of the UK. It's like a talent scout discovering the next Beatles but then finding out this band refuse to speak any known language and will only do gigs in Badger sets. In other words London cant be cool until the UK, all of it is aswell. Which it never will be.
The UK if it were a person would be the sort of human being that would offer you a lift somewhere then as you take your place in the passenger seat and prepare to go the UK would suddely remember it left the cat in a bag or left the toilet seat up and run back in to right the situation. It would then come back out and spend the next 4 hours adjusting its seat before turning to you and tellng you it in fact does not have a driving license in a pathetic sheepish manner.
Londoner- Yeah but like I am cool and my friends are cool so like Londons cool so like we are cool.
No your a dick head
Londoner-But we get to see like all he bands first like this week me and a mate saw The Butchers Clitoris and Roll Over Fuckhead or ROF, they are gonna be big man
No they wont and your still a dickhead
Londoner-Whatever man I am busy.
Its not some wonder city where everyones waiting to be a star. Where even lollipop men take drugs with Pete Docherty. It just a city thats big...same as anywhere no magic properties and you just go about your business there wherther that be banking or glue sniffing.
Its easy to be cynical about London. Its a big city lots of good stuff, lots of crap but 99 per cent of the people who live there rarely do anything out the ordinary, mostly stay in the area they live in and hang about with the same old people like we all do. Because thats what Brits do and London is very much part of the UK

Toff and Midget
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2213124.ece
As the clatter of disapproval about the UK's drinking culture continues unbound. Pints for 99p and 'oh shit we are all going to lose our jobs so lets get pissed on IPA' (of all things) fear sweeps around like a obsessive compulsive cleaner. The Sun had decided students are due a pop. 'The Sun' lays into Cambridge University students and their drinking game 'initiation' ceremonies.
What 'The Sun' does very well is mock outrage i.e. 'Cambridge girls' booze and sex shame' and alongside it put pictures of the crapulent toffs in their bra's and knickers and in this case bizarrely a girl alongside a midget for no apparent reason with the tag line 'frolic' even though the 'midget' is simply holding a bowl of sweets. Its really just mild lurid titillation designed to provoke anger and a posh girl fantasy for people so desperate not to remember they have to go to work tomorrow that are genuinely wandering if they could get away with trying to look like the family dog by putting on clothing of the same colour.
The Sun then brings three quotes from concerned parties. Alcohol Concern’s Carys Davies said: "It’s not really setting a good example." Which considering the body Carys Davies represents seems so half hearted that they may as well just have quoted someone looking into the fridge and seeing someones left the top off the margarine. The NUS states The National Union of Students said it strongly encouraged a ban on the dangerous ceremonies" Like some sort of retrospective Health and Safety executive so bored that they are looking at aspects of Roman savagery. The University itself states "We aim to insure students behave responsibly." Which brings the whole non-news article to such a shocking and shuddering conclusion that if you were to now find out your mother used to be part of a washing machine would only produce a slightly raised eyebrow.
People drink because it gives us the excuse we need to piss about, make mistakes, cry or whatever. Self flagellation only produces hyperbole and misguided policies. Humans have been pissheads since time immoral.

What 'The Sun' does very well is mock outrage i.e. 'Cambridge girls' booze and sex shame' and alongside it put pictures of the crapulent toffs in their bra's and knickers and in this case bizarrely a girl alongside a midget for no apparent reason with the tag line 'frolic' even though the 'midget' is simply holding a bowl of sweets. Its really just mild lurid titillation designed to provoke anger and a posh girl fantasy for people so desperate not to remember they have to go to work tomorrow that are genuinely wandering if they could get away with trying to look like the family dog by putting on clothing of the same colour.
The Sun then brings three quotes from concerned parties. Alcohol Concern’s Carys Davies said: "It’s not really setting a good example." Which considering the body Carys Davies represents seems so half hearted that they may as well just have quoted someone looking into the fridge and seeing someones left the top off the margarine. The NUS states The National Union of Students said it strongly encouraged a ban on the dangerous ceremonies" Like some sort of retrospective Health and Safety executive so bored that they are looking at aspects of Roman savagery. The University itself states "We aim to insure students behave responsibly." Which brings the whole non-news article to such a shocking and shuddering conclusion that if you were to now find out your mother used to be part of a washing machine would only produce a slightly raised eyebrow.
People drink because it gives us the excuse we need to piss about, make mistakes, cry or whatever. Self flagellation only produces hyperbole and misguided policies. Humans have been pissheads since time immoral.
