Matt Taibbi asks, not entirely unreasonably, what it will take for the Pope to be gotten rid of. I hate to point this out, but the Pope is already complicit in covering up systematic child abuse by the Catholic church through several decades. That this hasn’t gotten rid of him means nothing will. The Pope [...]

The “dividing line”
Posted in Dumbass Has A Point, Election Fever on April 7, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Pro-tip: if the best you can do to distinguish yourself from a party of sociopaths who make alliances with European Nazis is a relatively obscure taxation debate, you’re fucked. On the other hand, this bout of implicit honesty is refreshing. Now it is almost impossible for anyone, except party hacks like Martin Kettle, naturally, to [...]

Just thinking, it’s entirely possible that the British Tea Party are totally redundant. I mean, we already have a group of loudmouth, borderline violent idiots who seem to have problems with other people’s religions and wet the bed at the mention of the word “socialism”. And they’re called the English Defence League.
Anarchy in the UK, or, how I intend to spend the next month dead drunk
Posted in Election Fever on April 6, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
So, the scowling Scot finally did it. A month of full out idiocy, nonstop media hysteria and hyperbolic nonsense is due to begin. On the whole, there are worse ways to spend the next four weeks, I guess. At least now, if I’m bored, I can go rile some easily upset Labour or Tory supporters [...]

No matter what I do, I can’t seem to shake the impression I should be posting here. So back here I shall go…again. I really have to be less indecisive. Also, an election is on, so it is my moral duty to find out who is taking it seriously, and endlessly mock them.
No Chris Graylings will be allowed to stay at my B&B, ever

I don’t actually own a B&B, but that is besides the point. Of course, Chris Grayling is an idiot. I’ve suspected this since his comments about The Wire, though no doubt if his earlier columns and “open letters” for various broadsheets hadn’t been so dreadfully dull, I would’ve noticed this important fact earlier. However watching [...]

Cheap entertainment – you can laugh at misspelt Teabagger signs here. I can’t wait until our own Teabaggers start doing the same, it should provide hours of fun for everyone with access to a dictionary.
Aw how cute

The Tories, Labour and our various oligarchs are all roleplaying. The game, as far as I can see, is “pretend we’re having a sustainable economic recovery, and then come up with reasons why someone else is going to wreck it.” Unfortunately, the point that has escaped everyone’s notice is that we’re not actually having a [...]
