Full Sesh

Apparently, Gordon Brown and Brian Cowen were up until 3.30 this morning. Does anyone really believe a Scotsman and an Irishman spent that whole time merely talking?

The Revolution Will be Covered by Comment is Free

Billy Bragg is withholding his income tax until bonuses for RBS are stopped as he explains here. Which is O.K, if you have the ability to pay your own tax (as he points out) and enjoy prison food.

But two points I took from it are firstly the amount of people who scream 'anarchy!ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!' and cower in a bush until order is restored. As if anarchism is a nasty doctrine? I find it to be a wonderfully humane doctrine, but how we get there is another problem entirely.

And secondly, the Weathermen have their very own section on CiF. Revolutionary pamphlets are now issued bit by bit via the comments section on the Guardian. What would Trotsky think? (Before he goes off to shoot some anarchists like hares)

Armchair counsellors

I feel for Tanya Byron, I really do. Here is an intelligent, thoughtful woman who for whatever misdeamenour she has committed in her life, has her compassionate collumn published on the Times website with the comments enabled! Which braindead fuckwit thought that would possibly be a good idea? Now inbetween xenophobic, homophobic, incredulous rants on news articles, every crackpot who comments on news sites can have a crack at counselling.

Take for example today's article in which Tanya offers advice to a young man who has a father who unfortunately has a rather archaic view on women. Cue advice from a load of men with crackpot views on women. Nova Prosper, take a bow.

Nova Prosper wrote:
Your father's hatred for women comes from a society which pampers women at the expense of the men. An relentless attack on men was launched by feminazis over 40 years ago and continues today. This explains an incredibly high volume of men's hatred for women and it's quite frankly justified.

Actually that deluded rant merely explains Nova's hatred of women.

Bn Harper is a moron

Bn Harper is an idiot, and like many idiots, he has tried to hide his bigotry behind a mask of a fairness. He is very angry that homosexuals appear to be getting preferential treatment to heterosexuals. In his own words;

"How about equality before the law and society regardless of sexual preference, rather than privilige for some?"

Stirring stuff. Those damn homomsexuals with all those privileges such as

"Civil partnerships not available to straights"

I wonder if Bn is married?

Toga Party Time

Ireland has voted yes to Lisbon, and at the Times website this is a moment for rejoicing. Apparently, it is all apart of God's great big plan, and he is thus sending Jesus back here, presumably to be the new President, totally fucking with Tony Blair's hopes. Shouldn't have gone Catholic, clearly God is a Protestant.

This was inevitable folks. Biblical prophesy talks about a re-emergence and dominance of the old Roman Empire in the end times but in a more corrupted form (Feet of Iron mixed with Clay from Nebuchadnezzar's dream in the book of Daniel over 2500 years ago).

Buy your Euros now, as it's likely the Euro will now become a very strong currency, and the United States of Europe will continue along a rising path in world politics.

Bob is also very excited about this plan.

David Hopkins,

Yes, you are correct for those among us who believe that the bible is the word of God. We are truly seeing biblical prophecy unfolding before our eyes my brother.

Christ is coming!

TOGA! TOGA! TOGA!

Aching from fucking too much

First update for a while, but I've been working on shamelessvanity's first major scoop.

Andrew Marr has an adiction to prescription drugs. This maybe to cure the emotional and physical pain that comes with all that sex he has with John Humphreys, or it may just be made up. However I'm sure that won't stop it appearing on his Sunday morning show, and I think David Cameron should present his views on the subject, though he most probably won't.

Backwards Italy

I like Italy, it was the first foreign country I travelled to when I was 14, which has given me an enduring love of the food. But whilst the British media has been focused on Berlusconi banging call-girls, his government has been carrying out some hideous measures.

According to the Sunday Times magazine, a 'security package' has been introduced bit by bit in the last 12 months, with illegal immigration now a crime punishable by a 10,000 euro fine, although how they are going to pay that is beyond me. Children of illegal immigrants are also banned from attending school, or receving health care, and those who knowingly harbour illegal immigrants face up to three years in prison. All sounds sadly familiar to those with a knowledge of modern European history. A measure has also been introduced ordering the compulsory fingerprinting of the entire 150,000 Roma gypsy community, some whom the Times points out, have lived in Italy since the middle ages. However, due to pressure, the government has 'humanely' excluded children from this measure.

Berlusconi swept to power in 2008 on the wave of anti-immigration hysteria, which his media helped to stoke, reportedly suggesting that "all Romanians harbour criminal intent". His successful dehumanisation of gypsies has already had an effect, with two bodies of two young Roma sisters who had drowned being left on a beach for hours whilst bathers carried on their ordinary routine.

This so-called man makes a mockery of modern European history, and thus makes a mockery of the European Union as a whole with disgusting laws such as this. The Vatican to its credit has called the laws 'a reason for sadness' and a 'great concern'. The rest of Europe should show its great concern more forcefully. Much blood was shed to free Italy from fascism, Berlusconi should never be allowed to forget that.
