Whilst flipping TV channels, I saw a segment of a programme called ‘Brighton Beach Patrol’. Two police officers were in a multi-story car park dealing with the mess left by homeless drug users sleeping rough each night. One officer said to the other, "We never had this problem when the car park had an attendant. Now we don't have an attendant, we have this problem." The officer then said, "These needles are a real danger to the public; I don't know what could be done to solve this problem."
Answers on a postcard to: ‘I haven't a fucking clue, Brighton Police, etc. etc.
Freedom of Speech
At the time of writing, the BBC has invited an MEP to take part in
‘Question Time on the BBC; nothing remarkable about that, except the
MEP is Nick Griffin of the BNP.
The anti-fascist league plan to blockade the BBC to stop Nick Griffin speaking on this programme.
We do not know for sure that the BNP are fascists, even though we strongly suspect it.
The anti-fascist league want to stop Nick Griffin from speaking; they
do not want us to engage the BNP in conversation and debate.
Conversation and debate.
That's one of the things that separates a civilised, open and free society from a totalitarian regime.
Apparently, only the anti fascist league's views should be heard.
So, we have established that the anti fascist league do not believe in freedom of speech (except their own).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't denying your political opponents the
opportunity to express their opinions one of the defining features of a
fascist regime? I think it might be. I seem to recall that Hitler was
fond of banning all opinions bar his own.
So, are the anti-fascist league actually fascists? They seem to tick all the right boxes on the application form.
Nick Griffin may be a fascist (allegedly), but he does appear to have
at least one good quality; he's not a thief. He hasn't, to my
knowledge, been stealing from us (the tax payers) - sorry, ‘claiming
expenses’ - like the dishonest parasites that infest the House of
Commons, many of whom also seek to deny him the same rights of free
expression that they enjoy.
I do not support the BNPs views; however, I do support their right to express them.
Postal Strike
The answer is simple - I've said it before and I'll say it again:
increase the price of a first class stamp to £1, then the post office
will have the funds to deliver the service we both need and deserve. £1
would still be incredible value for money. Think about. No, I mean
really think about it.
I can post a letter in Chelmsford and it will be in Glasgow the
following day. How else am I to get it there? Drive it there in my car?
Take it on a train? Stand beside the M25 with a sign saying: ‘If
anyone’s going to Glasgow, would you mind pulling over and taking this
letter up there for me?’
We need to pay a more realistic price for our postal service.
Frinton
I was in Frinton recently for a nice Autumn stroll along the beach.
However, the horizon was spoilt by a hideous eyesore - the wind farm.
To make matters worse, the fucking ugly thing was not even working,
despite a strong wind. What an absolute waste of time, effort and money
these things truly are.
The greens claim that they reduce our carbon footprint. Carbon
footprint? What's that (apart from an overused and irritating
buzzword)? "Look out, you've left dirty footprints all over the kitchen
floor." "Oh,sorry, love. I must have trod in some carbon on my way home
from work."
If the greens had their way, we wouldn't be on our way home from work at all, because, according to them, all travel is evil.
Climate change (another overused and irritating buzzword): the climate
is changing; the world is warming up, .005 of a degree since 1934 (or
whatever figure the greens are using this week).
“If we're not careful,” they wail, “we'll have a climate like the South
of France.” Oh my God. Heaven forbid. A climate like the South of
France? We must do all we can to avert the catastrophe. Otherwise we'll
suffer the terrible climate those poor devils in Provence have to
endure. You know, waking up to blue skies and sunshine every day; long
warm evenings etc.
It may have escaped the greens notice, but a few million years ago,
most of this planet was covered in ice. The earth warmed up, without
the help of humans. If it had not, we would all be living like Eskimos.
Maybe these arrogant idiots should consider that fact.
Anyway, the greens should take a more positive outlook and welcome the
climate change they predict; anything to improve the dull grey weather
we endure in this country. We could even grow oranges instead of
cabbages.
Shock Horror Local Headline
‘Five year old walks home from school.’ Wow! It's a miracle. A five
year old managed to walk ½ a mile along a footpath in a housing estate
from his school to his house, along a familiar and well travelled
route; in broad daylight and in fine weather. His mother was at home at
the time and said, "Imagine if I hadn't been at home? Why, anything
could have happened."
I've never heard of anything as dangerous and hazardous as a five year
old walking along a footpath. Instead, the child should be wrapped up
in cotton wool and confined in his bedroom until he is middle aged and
no longer of the right mind to be engaging in such reckless behaviour.
