Blog On The Motorway

So once again it’s been a while since I’ve blogged, I’ve been suffering with a writers block so severe it’s become crushing. But really it’s hardly surprising, given that every day seems to bring so much to comment on that it’s impossible to choose.

First of all we have total meltdown of our entire political system, which sees every range of the political world running around, flailing their arms, blaming the system for allowing them to steal and promising to ‘do something about it.’

Secondly, we see that the tabloids have a new sport, which I like to call disability taunting, wherein the red tops go positively agog with the news that a woman with learning difficulties reacted to instant global superstardom by acting like someone with learning difficulties struggling to deal with an overwhelming change in their life.

Thirdly, we see North Korea’s heirs to the throne staging their own talent contest by trying to be more threatening to the world than the others. Less Britain’s Got Talent, more North Korea’s Got Apocalypse.

Now, planes are falling from the sky, the world’s ex-biggest company has gone bankrupt, doctors are being shot in America for helping women, and Africa has yet another calamity of a nation on the brink of disaster.  And yet, through it all, half the publishing houses in the UK are more concerned with the divorce of the two most despicable people imaginable.

Happy days, eh?

On the plus side, while there is a massive whiff of FAIL all around the world, I have recently discovered the marvellous FailBlog, which makes me chuckle whenever it drops a lovely little thing into my google reader. So it can’t be all bad.
