There’s No ‘I’ In Mass Murder: Cashing In On Controversy

Looking for accessories for the next rally? All the smart fascists are heading down to Thor Steinar. 

Congratulations to clothing company Thor Steinar, whose recent attempt to cash in on the current publicity surrounding the trial of Anders Breivik was admirable, if ultimately unsuccessful.

Extremism? It’s All In The Interpretating

In an irony that I’m sure the EDL will love, a Twitter exchange between Muslim commentator Mo Ansar and English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson seemed to demonstrate that Ansar has the better grasp of English spelling and grammer.

Or have I misinterpretated the facts again?

Gay People? Stop Wasting Time. Unleash Your Heterosexual Potential!

Originality of thought is one thing I had credited those promoting ‘Gay Therapy’ with.

But I’m not afraid of looking like a fool, as many people who spent time with me in my early twenties will cheerily testify. And apparently, neither are two religious groups who have followed up Stonewall’s recent promotional bus banner campaign supporting gay marriage. Anglican Mainstream and Core Issues Trust have rented advertising space, and intend to feature the slogan pictured above on the side of red buses using five London routes.

A spokesperson said Stonewall’s campaign “implies the false idea that there is indisputable scientific evidence that people are ‘born gay’, and that they have no choice but to affirm their homosexual feelings.”

Which is rich. Their advert implies that people are ‘born stupid’, and that they have no choice but to reaffirm their stupidity at every opportunity.

Are we supposed to just get over that, too?

James & Rupert Murdoch: It’s Behind You!

The News of the World, perhaps I lost sight of. Maybe because it was so small in the general frame of our company.

Rupert? Might I politely suggest you’re looking in the wrong direction? Despite your best efforts, it’s looking increasingly like the nasty beast you euthanised has resurrected itself in the warmth of your sunny blind spot, doubled back and is just about to take a huge chunk out of your backside.

Rumour has it, James just suffered a fairly serious mauling. Are you next?

George Galloway: The Cat Who Got The Cream

Dear people who believe there is no hope and can’t find the strength to go on.

Strike A Match & Other Government Advice You Should Have Ignored

A petrol shortage? Hmm, draining the reserves we still have is going to help, isn’t it? Image: REUTERS/Darren Staples.

You know, we have no grounds to complain about a nanny state and media reporting thereon when we react like this to an impending fuel shortage. OK, so Francis Maude didn’t exactly help the situation by telling people to “fill a jerry can” and “keep it in your garage“, but seriously?

If Francis Maude then told you to then light a match and throw it into said garage, would you do that as well?

Hearts, Minds & Moustaches: The Falklands War 30 Years On

David Cameron has much to fear from the influence of this man. And not just because of the quality of his moustache. Image: REUTERS/Gaston Brito.

I’ve been writing nothing but observations on US politics recently. Posting about the same subject repeatedly is frowned upon in the blogosphere, so I was devastated to realise all those years of study had gone to waste.

I dutifully set about locating an engaging story about UK based interests, only to discover that more or less the only thing I’d missed during my transatlantic travels was another argument over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands. You know, the one that’s been going on for almost 30 years now.

Judy McIntyre: The Warning Signs Are There

As bills and amendments to legislation that directly impinge upon a woman’s right to choose what she does with her own body continue to be passed in the US,  expect further outbreaks of civil disobedience from unexpected sources.

After Constance Johnson’s handwritten tweak to the Oklahoma Personhood Bill a few weeks ago, Senator Judy McIntyre (l) put her thoughts on the issue forward during a fetal personhood protest on Tuesday by posing with a placard she borrowed from an attendee.

The Republicans in Oklahoma backing this bill should be careful.  I don’t think these women have even got out of second gear yet.

US Elections: Nice Try, George

Claudia Greenburg, who was attending Mitt Romney’s Michigan election party last night, has a question for us. Image: AP Photo.

Gotta be honest with you, Claudia. The world is in the midst of an economic crisis, thousands of innocent people are dying every day in brutal battles for control of future energy supplies, the unions are threatening to strike during the London Olympics and One Direction are in the process of cracking the American market.

But still, even in spite of all this horror, the answer is still no.

Thanks for stopping by though.

The Personhood Bill: You Think Jails Are Overcrowded Now?

… just imagine what would happen if this got passed. To confirm, this handwritten note states the following:

… any action in which a man ejaculates or otherwise deposits semen anywhere but in a woman’s vagina shall be interpreted and construed as an action against an unborn child.

If you think this is an amusing gag designed to scare the bejesus out of men who spend a little too much time on their own in the shower, please avail yourself of the proposed ‘Personhood Bill’ in Oklahoma.
