Apparently the (as is traditional, incompetent and not worth worrying about) terrorists from last night were targeting uber-chavs-from-Essex-on-nights-in-town hellhole Tiger Tiger.

Shame they failed.

Just when you think George Bush couldn’t possibly say anything more stupid and ill-considered: “Iraq should be more like Israel“. Remarkable.

Cue endless ill-informed and tedious wanking on and on about how the Evul Turrerists done gonna kill us all. Give it a fucking rest already…

If my son, who I believed to be straight, died in a kinky gay drugged-up S&M accident, I might spend some time in denial: “yes, he was raped and murdered, that’s it – he obviously didn’t just take a lot of drugs, have a lot of rough sex and then fall in a pool and drown”.

But while a father’s denial is understandable, I’m sceptical that it should form the basis of a hugely expensive police operation and a series of speculative arrests. Indeed, but for Michael Barrymore’s fame – and hence the potential for media superstardom in the eyes of the publicity-whoring senior copper inside of the case – I very much doubt it would have done in the case of Stuart Lubbock.

Side note: can we ban all policemen and policewomen from media appearances? Go and solve some fucking crimes rather than playing The Great Detective on TV…

The BAe bribery scandal has been moderately entertaining. The latest news is that the Yanks want to investigate, presumably on the basis that shafting foreign competitors is a Good Idea.

But while it’s quite funny to watch the accusations piling up, it’s worth bearing in mind that there’s no moral justification for the case.

If BAe does anything that’s morally wrong, then that would be selling arms to corrupt tinpot dictators for the oppression of their own people and their neighbours.

It doesn’t make a blind bit of difference whether the dictators also use the BAe contracts as an excuse to steal money from their own people, or whether they merely use the BAe weapons as a tool to ensure they can continue stealing money from their own people.

In other words, anyone who thinks that BAe’s core business is acceptable, but that paying off a few dodgy princes is unacceptable, is a sanctimonious cunt talking sanctimonious cant. And the fact that the law allows us to sell guns ‘n’ bombs to third world hellholes, but not to slip their rulers the occasional baksheesh, is fucking stupid.

God’s attempt to kill Hazel Blears has tragically failed. Better luck next time, big guy.

One all at half time.

PDF has been nominated for most politically incorrect blog in some kind of awards ceremony. If I lose, it’ll clearly be the Jews’ fault.

Thoughts on the latest Big Brother scandal:
a) it’s Nathan as a girl!
b) what a ludicrous overeaction and fuss about nothing.

From a comment on the Magistrate’s blog:

A burglar or shoplifter commits a malicious act of evil each time he commits his crime. The results may be less painful to the victims and their families [than being killed by a Mr Toad driver], but the stain on the soul of the criminal is much darker.

Now, burglary is a horrible thing to experience, so fair play, sort of. But the idea that shoplifting is a “malicious act of evil” is frankly one of the maddest things I’ve ever read.

There is no moral aspect to shoplifting. Simply none. Nobody is harmed by it. I repeat, nobody. If you think shopkeepers or shareholders are harmed by it in any morally meaningful sense, then you are an idiot.

We need laws against shoplifting, because otherwise the current economic system would not be sustainable. But they are like laws against revealing commercial secrets and copying creative works – only people with no understanding of what morality means can believe that the breach of such laws is a moral offence rather than merely an administative one.
