What the fuck is going on? Amazon's payment system has just told me that 09/2005 is not in the past.

 

I mean ... ?????!

Yes yes, I know it's Christmas Day and I'm online, but I have just read this interesting article on BBC News Online.

 

It seems that a museum in Somerset decided that 'BC' (Before Christ) dating on their artefacts could offend some people, and so changed BC to BP, which apparently stands for 'Before the Present'.

 

No pun intended, but Christ. Just ... Christ. I don't even know what to say to that one. Christ.

I really didn't know what to say about this when it was announced, and to be honest, still don't. However, I can't let something as important as this go by without some form of cmment.

Tony Blair, you are a complete and utter bell end. You have made a mockery of our country, and moreso than ever before, a mockery of yourself, your Government, the EU, and our Presidency of it. If you have any self-respect or believe you have any dignity left, you will resign now, and set the wheels in motion for backing out of this joke of a deal you so 'cleverly negotiated' for the people you supposedly are in power to help and represent.
Wake up and realise what you've done, and what people really think of you.

And that wife of yours? Christ. Just ... Christ.

Legendary black comic Richard Pryor died tonight aged 65. He had been living with multiple sclerosis for 20 years.

 

Apparently there are a series of strikes planned over the next few weeks at Birmingham International Airport.

Why? Because two members of staff were sacked.

 

And why were they sacked? For skipping shifts and falsifying safety records. FALSIFYING SAFETY RECORDS. AT A FUCKING AIRPORT.

 

Christ.

 

These people don't just deserve sacking, they deserve to be crushed as an aeroplance careers off the runway, by some miracle not even hurting anyone else.

As for those who are striking, well, they evidently have no common sense, and I certainly wouldn't want to use an airport staffed by such idiots. Therefore, they should be sacked.

As much as I'd like to be able to claim otherwise, I didn't write the following editorial.

 

Take It Or Leave It.
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on London, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Brits. However, the dust from the attacks has barely settled and the 'politically correct' crowd begin complaining about the possibility that our patriotism is offending others.
I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Britain. However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of London being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Britons, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle.
This culture has been developed over centuries of wars, struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, Learn the language! "In God We Trust" is our National Motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, Because God is part of our culture. If St. George's Cross offends you, or you don't like "A Fair Go", then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet.
We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really  don't care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our National Motto, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great British freedom, "THE RIGHT TO LEAVE". If you aren't happy here then fuck off! We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted, and accepted YOU!
Pretty easy really, when you think about it.

There really is something just plain strange about this woman's voice. I can't quite work out what it is exactly, but it's just freaky and wrong. Furthermore, of course, she looks like a man. Both I and my father had to double-take when we first saw her. Hermaphrodite, perhaps?

Of course, on a slightly more intellectual level, she's proved once again today that she actually knows nothing about education. Certainly not specialist knowledge, and DEFINITELY not from common sense. Great for the Education Secretary, eh?
