This election seems on the outside to have been the most interesting, explosive and open of my lifetime. It has energised the left and left traditional Lib Dem supporters on cloud nine. But why do I feel that come May 7th the party will be over and all that talk of change will end at [...]
Don’t worry, I will be returning to conclude the tales of Amsterdam in due course, but I just wanted to say a quick word about the fact that the UK election is due to be officially announced tomorrow, and will in all probability be held a scant month away on the 6th May. Now I [...]
Tonight will see a watershed moment for British Television, as the biggest human cockstain walking, Mr Nick Griffin of the British Nutsack Party, has been invited to appear on BBC’s Question Time to be debated by a panel of his peers. And by peers, I mean elected officials and not a bunch of sub-literate ponies [...]
In a year that has been dominated by the reformations of some of the biggest bands in rock history (AIC, Pavement, Rival Schools, hell even Led Zep) an announcement crept out the other night that will make absolutely no impact on the worldwide music scene but managed to make me and a very select group [...]
So it seems that UNICEF have named a goodwill ambassador in Orlando Bloom, yes he of the vacant stare and ‘unique’ approach to acting (as in making sure as to never display emotion on that face of his, lest he develop wrinkle lines.) Interesting choice. Perhaps they plan on using his perfect forehead as a [...]
On days like this, I don’t really know what to say. Last night my region went and elected a former National Front leader and hatemonger to be our representative in the European parliament. Great. This is the sour part of free speech. It’s a principle I would defend at all costs, but this is that [...]
Earlier this morning I was planning on writing something about the elections tomorrow, throwing my hat into the ring with some badly thought out but heartfelt pleading for my readers to both go out and vote, and avoid voting for any party that has David Cameron or Nick Griffin as its leader. (See, I can [...]
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 [...]
Another day, another apocalypse. Just when you thought that this year couldn’t bring any more news of total doom, here comes swine flu to gee up the media and cause utter and total panic amongst a populace that should really have learnt not to trust headlines. Especially headlines like “KILLER swine flu is on a terrifying [...]
I have little to do today, and so was planning a nice, lighthearted blog entry. About kittens, or something. And then I saw this. In which our favourite political laughing stock espouses some good old fashioned racism. Now, I know it’s St George’s day today, a day when the idiotic far right of the political divide come [...]
