Politicking

Green with envy

I’ve got a post on DK about Mr Green’s travails. It’s slightly more measured than my initial drunken reaction.

Main point:

Executive summary for the hard-of-thinking: if stuff is illegal, then people who do it should be arrested, even if they’re people who you like. If people who you don’t think should be arrested are arrested as a result, you should campaign against the stuff being illegal, not against those particular people being arrested; and you certainly shouldn’t invent ridiculous lies about the constitution to justify the illegal actions of the people you like.

Crime & Punishment, War On Terra Firma

Newspapers make BNP cunts happy

5cc has a quality piece about the random, made-up lie that the Mumbai terrorists were brown British gentlemen, the tabloids’ insane fixation thereon, and their complete non-denial when it turned out to be bollocks.

Fantastic. So we’ve turned an actual “Pakistan’s secret service does vile murder against Indians, as they’ve done non-stop for the last 50 years; film at 11″ story into a made-up “the darkies will rise up and slaughter us in our beds” story. That’ll surely help with racial tension everywhere…

Crime & Punishment

And people cuss Iran for being ropey

8-year-old charged with murder in the US. Fucking skills. I mean, seriously, nobody here is even thinking ‘what the fuck, we can’t sensibly hold a fucking 8-year-old responsible for murder’ – they’re keeping the fucking kid in the county jail. Just, fuck.

And yes, I know that our age of criminal responsibility is 10, and yes, I agree that that’s to our utter shame and debasement (as demonstrated most obviously by the revolting circus of the James Bulger murder trial). But even so, fuck. If you think that criminalising children is in any way justifiable, I hope a gang of feral youths utterly murders you to death.

(and yes, I’m well aware that the people most excised about the Baby P case are precisely the ones who were cheerleading for the lynching of the kids in the Bulger case. This is because everyone excised about the Baby P case, and about the Bulger case, is a loathsome, despicable, hypocritical bastard.)
