" Words themselves -the very material of our discourse increasingly take on masks or disguises. "

Goddam it's cold! What the hell's wrong with you people living in this freezing, miserable shit-hole? You should really get together as a species and do something about warming the place up. Oh, you already are? Brilliant! Respect! Get on with it then, its actually hurting my frozen fingers typing this rubbish. I should stop. Or turn the heating up. Trouble is I already owe my supplier, EDF more than they can possibly expect to get in a hurry. Sod 'em! They can wait a bit. As long as they don't send the EDL after me. Yes, they're working together now and you can see why.
On the subject of Islamaphobia: Prompted by PM Cammers, a govt minister is visit Jordan next week to find a way of deporting Abu Qatada, now that the European Court of Human Rights has told us we can't send him to be tortured or be tried using evidence obtained by torture. Reckon this Minister will take a very big and awkward diplomatic bag? He won't be hard to catch anyway- the footage the media keeps showing of Qatada shows a tubby gent amiably strolling through the suberbs, idly taking his time and smiling knowingly. This was a few years ago so he may have lost some weight worrying about going back to the middle-east or maybe just got fatter sitting around in prison for seven years.Naturally he media isn't interested on going into too much detail telling us why we're not supposed to deport him instead concentrating on the normal hysterical reaction to this institution we voluntarily signed up to as a nation, admittedly under a previous government. Still it's pathetic really. If we have to let him out and he has to stay then just keep an eye on him. Think of it as part of the war on terror. If you're allowed to call in an airstrike in another bit of Eurasia with the strong possibility of killing someone who is not a danger to your occupying troops, the least you can do is stick your nose into their business if they have the ill-fortune of wandering into your kingdom.
Instead of trying to ditch the fatty smiling cleric, I'd instead like to ask him about the enlightenment values he rejects possibily saving his possibly previously overweight arse from having electrodes attached to it. How does he feel given that it was the influence of the Islamic world, its advances in Mathematics and examination of classical philosophy that directly led to our renaissance? I would suggest to Qatada that the fact that we're so tolerant of adultary and so disgustingly homophilic is directly connected to our continuing innovation in technology and culture. It puts me in mind of the 'Needham Question' in history that asks why the west rather than China with its longer history of stable civilisation, experienced the Industrial revolution first. One of those reasons is likely to be that exchange between the peoples living under the two Abrahamic religions, the upstart children of the bookwise, cranky Judaism and the Grandsons of Zoroastrianism-the original old man of the mountains. Anyway the Needham Question is stupid and irrelevant. Does China care that it didn't get to industrialisation first? It's not like we've been able to stop them using these breakthroughs and they might just end up owning us because of them. Nice going, Qatada! This is your doing.
The title of this post is course a reference to the breaking news( !) that Fabio Capello has quit as England manager. This whole affair has been a complete disgrace but I'll leave you to speculate on what aspects of it have so infuriated me. ~I will miss his odd face, though.
Hopefully this post will be gradually improved for spelling, Grammar and content or maybe I'll just give up and dump it on the net like I've been doing with these- some recordings from the John Peel Radio 1 show in the early 90s.
The accompanying pic this week is The Feast of the Gods by Max Ernst. Glad I never saw that as a kid, there's some great nightmare material there. Nowadays the nightmares are from reality. Massacres in Syria again today. Footage of children's bodies this time. Fuckers. Feast of the Gods, eh? Cammers posturing over the Falklands? WTF? Imagine how much more we'd gain as a nation by being as friendly as possible with Brazil and Argentina. Possibly more than any mineral extraction in the long haul, though you never know. Either way.....They're not going to mess with the Penguins, people! If they do - nuke the fuckers!
In the storm and the strife there's a moment's clarity
When the quivering fraility now has all but fled from me
Quote there from closing link which is a pleasant little ditty but wouldn't let me embed for some reason. It's those Deadly Snakes.
19/2/12 - I just heard that the EDL are marching through Hyde on Saturday concentrating on the area round ASDA and the Mosque, the fuckers. That's not far from here. Maybe they are coming to get me. Seriously though RAC comrades, maybe this is our Cable Street. Chances are they'll be more counter-demonstators anyway and even more journalists and citizen-journalist scumbags.
