Daily Kos has an excellent post slating the notorious right-wing maniacs Harry Hutton and Dan Davies. Quite right too – it’s about time someone put a stop to these loathsome fascists.
Nonetheless, the Kos post is wrong about one thing: mocking the near-death of a man and his infant (as pompously summarised here) is not only funny, but also big and clever. And if you can’t see that, I hope you get gassed by Nazis in a Second Holocaust.
David Cameron claims that the Human Rights Act is preventing us from stopping The Evil Terrorists (TM), and that therefore it should be abolished.
This is bollocks.
The thing which has prevented us from stopping The Evil Terrorists (TM) is that MI5 and the police are a bunch of useless fuckwits without the slightest clue about Islamist terrorism (or indeed, anything else).
Cameron’s idiotic crowd-pleasing is symptomatic of a wider fallacy. In the UK, we currently have the laws in place to arrest more or less anyone bad for more or less anything bad. There are a few exceptions, but they generally aren’t worth worrying about – if you can think of any which are, then leave a comment.
The problem, and the thing which frustrates the public, is that the laws we already have aren’t always enforced effectively. The enforcement isn’t usually all that dreadful, hence crime falling and the UK remaining quite a nice place to live unless you’re a paranoid BNP loony, but when the system does go wrong it is almost inevitably because enforcement has failed.
But in such cases, instead of pledging better enforcement of existing laws, politicians and media commentators (I’m not convinced there’s a difference between the two any more) propose new laws to make something which was already illegal even more so, as if this would make a blind bit of difference to anybody.
“Damn those evil terrorists, doing themselves in just to spite us,” say the Americans.
Alexander English, from Ayrshire, has been sentenced to four months in jail for stealing a single trainer from a sports shop.
While really bad shit is happening – like, y’know, the West massacring people all about, the government trying to lock up minor smokers as dealers, lesbians being sent to third-world hellholes to be murdered, while meanwhile the President of the USA spouts religious drivel about how gays are filthy perverts - the gay liberal lot cock on about how DJs who say rude things about everybody are racist and homophobic. Except that the strongest point they can muster is “people over 30 don’t understand how English is spoke, like”.
It’s just totally fucking gay.
Oh, irate update – if you think prosecuting today’s French railways for the Vichy regime’s Nazi bastardry is anything other than fucking retarded, you should be gassed.
Actually, classing a quarter plus an eighth (ie about half as much as anyone with a bit of money who enjoys a smoke might buy at a time) as “possession with intent to supply” is the kind of lying Yank-style draconian insanse bullshit that warrants hanging. Cocklord. Kill the lot of them – there’s a tenner in it for anyone who does.
No. You don’t give Maggie a state funeral. You just fucking don’t.
Or “why comment is free” [*]:
[commenter] Puzzledcov: “I find it difficult to believe that very many members of the old IRA would have supported the indiscriminate murder of men, women and children in the name of Ireland. They did not target civilians,”
[commenter] Midas: So let me get this straight, the ‘OLD’ IRA were the ones who didn’t plant bombs in Coventry, Birmingham, Manchester London and across half of Northern Ireland. The ‘NEW’ IRA were the ones who did? When was it, exactly that the ‘OLD’ IRA disbanded and the ‘NEW’ IRA took over?
In 1922 and 1969 respectively, you ignorant cock.
[*] scroll or search for the quoted comments on the CiF link. Re this point, all websites that allow comments but don’t give direct links to them are shit and run by wankers.
An Islamist mob has seized Mogadishu, the capital (in a ceremonial, rather than functional, sense) of Somalia.
The Americans’ genius tactic of bribing local murderous bastards to fight the Islamists didn’t entirely pay off. Shocked, I am.
If someone were to slit the throat of New Yorker writer Margaret Talbot, no tears ought to be shed:Â
[Insane bigoted pathetic liar] Oriana Fallaci has repeatedly fallen afoul of some of Europe’s strict laws against vilifying religions or inciting racial hatred. (In Europe, the prevailing impulse toward certain kinds of outré opinions is to ban their expression.)
Cock off. The reason Fallaci has run into trouble is that she’s a shit-stirring Nazi insaniac, not that she holds “outré opinions”. Talbot, as an American, should understand that turning up at an airport and making jokes about misappropriating aeroplanes and flying them into buildings is Inappropriate and Wrong. Such jokes are the direct equivalent of the “outré opinions” that Fallaci holds.
Sure, anyone loony enough to believe bomb jokers are OK ought to be on the poor senile deranged lady’s side – but I’m reasonably convinced that there’s a fairly direct correlation between the “hang ‘em all and flog ‘em all” brigade and Ms Fallaci’s admirers.
