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?
