What Has 2010 Got In Store?

Been thinking about this a lot obviously recently.  Apart from hoping that this is the year that I finally crack the 13 stone target and keep under it, I do think that we will see significant social and political change around the world in the coming year – which will affect how we all see the world in decades to come.

First of all, I fear that we will get entrenched in Afghanistan well and truly next year – it seems that the full realisation of what we have got ourselves into is only beginning to be appreciated in the last few months, particularly as we have moved ourselves away from Iraq and Dubya’s private war – to the main reason why we were in the neighbourhood in the first fucking place.

In that same region I predict that we could see some momentous scenes in Tehran, Estafan, Tabriz and across Iran as the Green Revolution takes hold and eventually takes down the entire Theocratic regime in Iran – it will be interesting to see whether or not Obama can continue to resist the urge to openly support the protesters.

Some things won’t change – the government will still be in power – even if it’s a different fucking hue of government – the bastards will still keep on churning out the same old, failed – fucked up policies which have not worked for the past 25 years and have allowed the ordinary person on the street get alienated with politics in this country.

and no doubt England will dazzle in the group stages in South Africa…and lose in a penalty shoot-out to Portugal…again.

Going Out For The Night...

Evening,

Used to love doing it, every week going out on one aiming to survive the night without throwing up. making a complete cunt of myself or both.

Just doesn't excite me as it did.

I'll be out tonight, but more than likely I'll be the one being all sensible whilst others make twats of themselves...

Memo To Paul Dacre

Hurry up and put Leo McKinstry and Jan Moir to pasture.

Seriously, they are fucking deluded cunts.

And I thought Richard Littlejohn was a cunt.

They Didn’t Listen…

What did we expect?

It was pretty fucking obvious pretty early on that regardless of whom tried to get some clemency for Akmal Shaikh, that it was always going to fall on deaf ears.

Akmal Shaikh was murdered by the Chinese State sometime after 2.30am this morning.

Because that is what it was, and the Prime Minister should not be kow-towed into saying anything but that.

What we need to do now is to punish China in the harshest way possible.

• We need to help get rid of the China friendly governments in Burma and Iran, where repression is dealt with by using weapons produced by China.
• We must actively support the autonomous regions in Western China, Tibet in  particular in their continuing struggle for independence.
• We must actively support those within China and Hong Kong who are looking for the country to move towards democratic reform.

There must be consequences – even if our government’s too scared to do it themselves.

Not The Sales Again!!!

Evening,

Since being off for the holidays, I have been looking online for any great bargains pretty much since I got home from work on Christmas Eve. One of the things that I have noticed this year in comparison to previous years is the lack of great offers in the major retailers and I had to go to some different places this year.

I was going to head to London, yesterday however on Saturday evening I bought two Lyle and Scott jumpers for the same price as I can in the store in Covert Garden - as well as a pair of Onitsuka Tigers.

This evening I have been toying with the idea of getting this Argyle diamond jumper, again from Lyle and Scott as well as this Peter Werth wool jacket - however we've gone for two graphic tops from All Saints - their shirts are amongst the most beautifully designed around.

Think we've got about £160 left in my sales allowance so we might give it a few days and see what happens from there.

Also off topic, after much quibbling with my sister, I've finally have got back my barometer and temperature sensor which if you haven't see the weather forecast for the next week or so, might be rather useful...

Mind how you go.

Raging Against The Machine

Oh yeah.  Cracking little title for this post!

It seems that every day there is some tyrannical cunt somewhere in the world, trying to make themselves as popular as Pork Stew being served at a Barmitzvah.  Today that prized cunt – or cunts to use the adjective term is the people of the Communist Party of China.

It seems the term Mentally Ill has not arrived in the corridors of power in Beijing, because they are in the process of putting to death someone who was only found guilty of some 4kg of heroin. 

So he wasn’t found guilty of massacring innocent protesters (ala Tiananman Square) or passing on weapons to be used against demonstrators (eg, Saffron Revolution, Burma 2008) or for that matter, launching widespread population change in places such as Urumqui (where the unfortunate Briton is on death row) or Tibet.

In comparison to some of the acts of pure genocide that China has initiated in recent years, this is rather minor.

Executing such a man is not going to do your standing any good whatsoever right now in the world.  There are a lot of people in the world (me included) who want you to stop financing arms deal to such countries as Burma (or Myanmar as you love calling it) or for that matter Iran, scene of recent protests.

Do yourself a favour.  Release Akmal Shaikh now.

Long Time…

And so I apologise again for a lack of posts during these past few weeks, I have been thinking in recent months about the way that I want this blog to go and whether it should be a blog in which I air my opinions purely of global events or whether I should take it down a more personal route and the way it affects my life.

In the end I have decided to go for a smuch of the two if you will.  A combination of the above – in other words, what I am thinking at that moment in time.

A new concept, I know!  But in these momentous times that we live in, it is important that people the world over can see what like-minded individuals are thinking – it is when those like-minded form a coalition, a united front against authority for whatever reason, that real change can come about and come about it does. 

We are continuing to see amazing pictures coming out Iran this very afternoon, of young people rising up against the theocratic system forced upon them.  Uprisings like these can and do inspire others throughout the globe to join as one to make the world a better place. 

To make those in authority accountable for their actions, that is in the end all we want.
