If I were to go over the concepts of military spending in lieu of social security spending, you know the usual tirade that whilst everyone including guide dogs and mules at the beach that give rides for tuppence is busy having the tantric mantra of ‘cuts, cuts, cuts’ rammed down their throat at every opportunity, [...]

Some sense amongst the chaos

The attacks on the Massereene Army base, Antrim in which two young soldiers were killed and four other people injured mark another senseless killing in a world that seems to completely lack any sense whatsoever. The death of two young men, who I notice were both younger than myself a factor which always accentuates the [...]
Not just wrong, pretty plain stupid too

By WENN world entertainment news – Monday, June 9 11:20 am From www.yahoo.co.uk. “Outspoken actor Rupert Everett has sparked fury from British soldiers after branding them “whining wimps” who are “pathetic” compared to recruits in the days of Victorian Britain. The Stardust actor, whose own father was a major in the British Army, made the controversial [...]
Proving it isn’t just the West.

In fact if anything the West might have a slightly better track record in this particular area although that remains debatable. The Chinese authorities continue with their crackdown on Tibetan civilians who have dared to get upset about the continued occupation of their country and the daily discrimination that they face under the pseudo-communist blanket [...]

Nassan Hazrallah the militant leader of Hezbollah (you would have thought it would be unnecessary to describe a Hezbollah leader as ‘militant’ really) has warned Israel that his group are ready for “open war” with Israel after the killing of one of it’s leaders in Syria. Imad Mughniyeh was killed in a car bombing in [...]

I thought I should quickly add that the death toll from the Market place bombings in Iraq on Friday has now risen to nearly 100, twice the original estimate. No surprise given the extent of the injuries recieved by many people who did not have the luck to die instantly. Additionally a particularly atrocious factor [...]

Not that this would be the last port of call for Mauretainian bandits or Iraqi suicide bombers before they went out into the world to commit their respective atrocities but it would appear that my overly optimistic plea for non violence last night was categorically ignored.

Well folks looks like people are still at it, and when I say that I mean looking for peculiar things on the internet, this time the lucky phrase was ‘handicapped giving blowjobs’. De gustibus non est disputandum I guess and with that I’ll leave it well alone. Taking some time out last night and unable [...]

Firstly I’d like to apologise for the title of this post, it is one of the worst wordplays I have ever been responsible for, the very fact I’m putting it up is a measure of just how little I care how ridiculous I appear to other people. Last night was of course yet another night [...]
