Shoot them, lock ‘em up, throw away the key

So a very tiny number of young (mainly) people went out smashing property, burning, looting and generally causing terrible mayhem. So far, so bad, but the aftermath is much worse. As usual, the Right are the only one’s who will profit from this. Already, every right wing ignorant loon is calling for increased police powers. Let them use plastic bullets and water cannon etc. Don’t they realise that this would mean that the police could choose to use these for any insurrection? Plastic bullets are responsible for quite a few deaths in Northern Ireland, many of whom were very young. The police were told to aim low to avoid hitting people in the head. As a result, quite a few children were hit in the head and died. The right wing tendency always benefit politically from riots such as those that occurred around England, it allows them to tap into the temporary paranoia whipped up by a media frenzy.

People are saying that Cameron is dealing well with the situation, recommending the above extra powers and calling in the Army. Oh, what a great leader! Of course he is, this is the Tories chance to sneak in all those extra police powers that they would have liked to introduce anyway! And he has roundly criticised these young thugs, destroying their own neighbourhoods and wrecking their neighbours properties. Is this the same oily shit, who when a member of the Bullingdon Club at Oxford, was involved in all manner of drunkenness (champagne rather than Stella) and partook of a fair few smashing incidents himself? And these exploits were conducted with his fellow ‘revellers’ (posh word for rioting cunts) Osborne and Johnson.

These vacuous slime balls are now wallowing in the miasma of fear and paranoia whipped up by the riots. There are even people crying out for limits to be imposed on the social media, Facebook, Twitter etc. I use Twitter a lot and what I noticed there were the number of people rallying others in the areas affected to get out on the streets and help, which they did. This is the Big Society and it was there long before Cameron’s spin doctors suggested using the phrase. The driving force behind it was human decency and the tools used to bring people together were, social media and word of mouth. It was not those oily hypocrites known as our government, who hardly any of us voted for.

Let us not get caught up in this ridiculous backlash, reducing our freedoms even more. Do not let the right use this as an excuse for more police powers, army on the streets, restrictions to our rights and more surveillance. This is more than likely a one off incident and needs to addressed by looking at why there are so many people who feel outside of their communities, why self seems more important than society, and the real mystery – why anyone feels driven to break the law and smash up their neighbourhood for some nasty, tacky trainers and a football shirt? Let’s see the real serious issues addressed, like why the bankers can rob us blind, but no-one suggests plastic bullets and hanging? And more importantly of all… People…

…please stop buying and reading the Daily fucking Mail and those other shit comics that are not even fit for arse wiping.

We are all in this together

Cameron, the rich aristocrat said at the Tory conference:

“Your country needs you. When we say, ‘We are all in this together,’ that is not a cry for help but a call to arms. Society is not a spectator sport.”

What the millionaire Cameron, or his millionaire pal Osborne, don’t seem to realise is that for them, this IS a spectator sport! They make ridiculous cuts which affect the lowest paid the most, ruin our educational system, drive money-making research scientists overseas, knacker the health service into the ground etc. etc. – all whilst they sit aloft watching it all happen, dressed in their expensive suits with their shiny, privileged faces looking smugly on, counting their millions and despairing of how much less interest they have this year from their pals, the fat cat bankers.

If only these smug bastards realised that it may well be ‘a call to arms’, but not quite in the way they intended. Yes, it will soon be time, once again, to light those flaming torches, pick up your pitchfork and raise an angry mob for some serious feedback to these Tory twats.

Hitler and atheism

Interesting that the Pope should associate atheists with nazism. Here’s what Wikipedia has to say:

‘Hitler often associated atheism with Germany’s communist enemy. Hitler stated in a speech to the Stuttgart February 15, 1933: “Today they say that Christianity is in danger, that the Catholic faith is threatened. My reply to them is: for the time being, Christians and not international atheists are now standing at Germany’s fore. I am not merely talking about Christianity; I confess that I will never ally myself with the parties which aim to destroy Christianity. Fourteen years they have gone arm in arm with atheism. At no time was greater damage ever done to Christianity than in those years when the Christian parties ruled side by side with those who denied the very existence of God. Germany’s entire cultural life was shattered and contaminated in this period. It shall be our task to burn out these manifestations of degeneracy in literature, theater, schools, and the press—that is, in our entire culture—and to eliminate the poison which has been permeating every facet of our lives for these past fourteen years.” ‘

Now who does that remind me of? ‘Manifestations of degeneracy’, ‘poison permeating every facet…’, ‘cultural life contaminated’. Maybe I got the wrong Wikipedia page but that sounds like the ramblings of the Catholic Church!

A classic case of kettle and pope!

The Holy Dope visits the UK

The Pope has arrived in the UK after loads of kerfuffle about some ignorant utterings by one of his senior aides (i.e. another old duffer with no sense of reality). He has urged us in the UK to resist ‘aggressive secularism’. What do you think he means by that? Well, I’ve looked up ‘aggressive’ and ‘secularism’ in the dictionary but still can’t make out what he’s saying here.

I reckon it must be like one of those fantastic parables which teach us a little nugget of truth, like the story in the old testament, where some kids are taking the piss out of a bald man, so God sends a bear to tear them to bits. The lesson learnt? Make sure the baldy cunt isn’t a Christian before you taunt him. See, you can learn from this stuff!

So from this, I think I can ascertain what ‘aggressive secularism’ is. It obviously means common sense, truth, and respect for science! It means the abandoning of ridiculous beliefs in fairies with wings, pitchfork waving devils and holy ghosts.

Apparently the geriatric in a frock, who protects paedophiles, tells people in AIDS stricken parts of the world not to use condoms, and thinks homosexuality is just plain against nature, means that we mustn’t listen to these nutters who proclaim, common sense, science, truth, equality, and punishment for paedo priests to be a good thing.

So this incredibly wealthy old medieval ignoramus is coming here at great expense (that’s our money by the way) to tell us that we musn’t be swayed by good sense and should continue to be a nation of ignorant, uncaring, mad, bad and dangerous to know, pervert protectors, for the sake of our immortal souls.

Well I say fuck off Pope, fuck off religion and fuck off all superstitious nonsense. (The holy ghost told me to say that!)

Spot the Fascist / Anti-fascist

Yesterday, there was a march through Brighton by the English Nationalist Alliance. Apparently their aim is to restore our self respect as English people and reclaim the flag of St George. All sounds very idyllic really – bring on the Morris dancers and let’s all dance with a Hey Nonny No!

However, instead of a load of bearded gents (and ladies!) with amusing titfers and bell garters, imagine my surprise when most of the marchers turned out to be big, baldy, tattooed thugs, and their more hirsute companions with faces that looked as vacant as the vacuum of deep space, with the cold dead eyes of a potato! Imagine Wayne Rooney after he’s just been hit in the face with a shovel.  I began to suspect that their motives were not quite ‘All for England and St George!’

These days, whenever an assemblage of thugs march through the streets chanting in a guttural gorilla language that no-one, except themselves can understand, the opposition also appear. So we have an equally large assemblage of do-gooders waving their anti-fascist banners and hollering through their megaphones. The thugs they are shouting at couldn’t even spell ‘Fascist’. And, as a friend of mine pointed out, some of them were wandering about in balaclavas and hoods etc. and being rude and oppressive to ordinary Brighton people trying to enjoy a bank holiday.

There were 14 arrests yesterday, probably mainly amongst the anti-fascist faction, and the extreme disruption caused by the whole thing left Brighton with a bad taste in it’s mouth. I know these do-gooders believe they are doing the right thing, but are they? A lot of ordinary people on the streets didn’t get a good impression of either faction this weekend, and as a result of the fuss, the thugs have achieved a huge amount of attention from the media.

How about this guys and gals? Next time a bunch of brainless, clueless, ignorant, right-wing cretins decide to march in Brighton, let them get on with it. Instead of you lot giving them attention and almost by implication, respect, just ignore the fuckers. Let them have their march and get it over with – it ends up as a damp squib and barely even gets reported.

If you have to turn up, try this – line the route or a part of it, and when the moronic phalanx hoves up, everyone, staying completely silent – no banners, megaphones or balaclavas, just turns their backs on the cunts. This will make much more of an impression on the knuckle-dragging morons, because it won’t make sense to them. The way you lot behaved yesterday was totally in line with their own modus operandi and puts you in the same space as far as the public is concerned.

All you did was to help publicise the people you tried to protest against.

Apple iPhone 4 bumper

Well, I’ve received my free Apple iPhone 4 bumper. Slipped it on and decided that my phone was no longer beautiful. Call me sad, but I have removed it. Who cares if my phone can make calls or not?

Let’s all cheer the ‘Big Society’

The ‘Condemned’ party are now cosily snuggled into their nice, shiny, new government. Very interesting to see a coalition government in place and I guess it could have been a good thing. However, the Liberal Democrats contribution seems to consist of abandoning 95% of the policies they campaigned with. Guess which party will not do well in the next general election?

But there are some fantastic, money saving ideas being put forward to help us all out of the recession pit dug by greedy, gambling bankers using our money (most of whom are probably funding our current government). The very pinnacle of these ideas is the ‘Big Society’. This revolutionary idea is turning out to be the one that will save us all. It seems to consist of getting rid of a whole load of jobs, saving pots of money for us poor recession bound punters, and at the same time, asking us to volunteer to do the jobs that have been axed and lost, purely out of love for the ‘Big Society’.

It’s genius, and the latest idea is that we have citizen volunteers to boost the police force. So the government is basically saying – ‘Anything we can’t afford cause we have to fund the things that matter, like Trident n that, we will get volunteers to do!’ Brilliant! After all, why spend money training a police force to cope with crime, when you can send out clueless volunteers, fed on a diet of shit revenge movies and the Daily Mail.

To be honest, they are not thinking widely enough. How about this for an idea? Our prisons are terribly overcrowded and they cost a feckin fortune. Why don’t we release the majority of prisoners in our jails and press gang them into the police force? The experienced crims in there know more about crime than Hercule Fuckin’ Poirot. The country would save so much money that we could probably all get monthly bonuses. We wouldn’t be able to leave our houses, cause the rozzers would be straight in, emptying our valuables into the back of a panda car. But the fact that our protectors were liable to swipe anything decent we purchased could stop our rampant consumption and return us to a previous era where we mend things again and again. Ah the good ole days – powdered eggs, dodgy nylons, sock darning and nights spent sleeping in the underground.

And while we’re at it… Why not scrap the expensive army and send all the unemployed out to Afghanistan and Iraq as volunteers?… Bloody hell, this ‘Big Society’ is a work of genius!!

Here we go again

Yesterday, the Apple iPad was released in the US and already the first iPad specific ‘fart app’ has appeared in the app store – Nasty Sounds. I have friends who can produce these sounds almost to order (but usually without order!), why should I pay for an app to do the same thing in an inferior fashion?

Also, if this app is merely a sound player, why make an iPad specific version? Does it have superior graphical, animated illustrations to go with the puerile, schoolboy humour noises? Hey, what am I expecting here? Sense?

Never. It will only get worse from here on…

‘Natural law’

The Pope has had a whinge about the Government’s proposed equality law complaining that legislation to give homosexuals equal rights “violates natural law”.

Shurely shome mishtake! Is he pissed? Has he been knocking back the famous Vatican gravy a bit too much? He says the proposed equal rights laws threaten “longstanding British traditions” of freedom of speech. To quote, he says:

“…the effect of some of the legislation designed to achieve this goal has been to impose unjust limitations on the freedom of religious communities to act in accordance with their beliefs.

“In some respects it actually violates the natural law upon which the equality of all human beings is grounded and by which it is guaranteed.”

This is a guy wearing an ornate cape and a silly hat who believes in a supreme being, angels, evil spirits and all sorts of other hokum. How can we take this person seriously when he makes statements about the violation of the natural law? Is this the same natural law that declares that people should not use condoms in areas of the World that are riddled with HIV/AIDS?

Come on, religion really is a load of toss isn’t it!?

Biblical smiting

Amused to read last week that a US company called Trijicon who make gun sights (‘Brilliant aiming solutions’) have been adding references to passages from the bible to their wares. The company was founded by a devout Christian and their website  includes this description of their moral values: “We believe that America is great when its people are good. This goodness has been based on biblical standards throughout our history and we will strive to follow those morals.”

So this bunch of superstitious loons decided that it would be good to include references to passages from the bible on their products, so that after shooting the shit out of some enemies (aka godless heathens) of the righteous and holy USA, the soldiers could reflect on some good Christian morality. If this kind of thinking wasn’t so damned scary, it would be very funny indeed.
