19.1.13 News Snippets

Beatrice & Eugenie

In the paper yesterday I saw a photo of the two women in the front seats of a Mini.  The wording alongside this pointless and un-newsworthy story was quite clearly worse than inaccurate, it was a lie.

"Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie fly the flag for Britain in their first joint overseas mission. [NB: you're quite right, they're hardly Charlie's Angels!]  The royal sisters travelled to Germany to promote Britain as part of the Great Campaign, a global drive to attract visitors, business and students to the UK.  They drew admiring looks from Germans, as they took the Union Jack-branded Mini to the British Embassy in Berlin."

Apart from the misuse of 'Union Jack', it is without doubt NOT the case that the two women got the admiring looks; any looks of this sort could only have been directed at the Mini.  I hate it when journalists 'creep' to the royals unnecessarily, especially when it's these two free-loaders and their dad. excuse me, but surely they should get a fucking proper job, not piss about supposedly promoting Britain, and following in the footsteps of their father whose own efforts are a waste of taxpayers' money.  Going to Germany to sit in a car produced by a German-owned company promotes fuck all except Germany.  Still, the royal family is in fact German, so perhaps it all makes sense on some perverse level (?)

Ryan Giggs

There was also a small feature showing two photos of a fan posing with Ryan Giggs - one in 1993 and one this week.  So, two decades later, he is pictured with his hero.  The quote from the fan sums up things rather nicely.  One of them has had a normal and productive life, while one has played at it while shagging around.

"What he's done is unbelievable.  I've grown up, got married and have a son - and he is still playing."

It's such a good quote from the fan, and highlights how Giggs has not quite grown up.  Sadly there was no more detail about any happy marriage, a sister-in-law, money, or more about unbelievable events.

Taking The Piss

Majid Hussain, 62, arrived in the UK from Iraq in 1986, since when he's not worked a day.  He came to study.  In court he has denied dishonesty, after not declaring savings of £36,000 whilst claiming £35,000 in benefits.  He seems to think he was obeying the Koran.  He claims the cash was left to him by his father for spending on his kids, and that "The Koran commands you to honour your parents.  I had no right to the money".  I suggest that nowhere in the Koran does it command followers to lie about circumstances, cheat the government (and taxpayers) out of money, and endorse fraud.  As an aside, it's fucking disgusting that he came to the UK aged 35 and has never worked, let alone claimed benefits to which he was not entitled.

One Cunt Complaint

We are now living in a world where a complaint from the minority will override the will of any majority.  In fact, the complaint of a single person can lead to all sorts of consequences and costs.  One cunt complained recently that a TV advert was "irresponsible" for showing a Cabbage Patch Kids doll with its pants down a bit, revealing a "tattoo or writing".  These were marks to confirm authenticity, said the makers, and prevent fakes.  The Advertising Standards Authority ruled there was no breach of standards.  This country is fucked; one twat moans about a trivial matter, and suddenly there's all sorts of action taken.  Elsewhere, you'll find that if you're burgled the police don't give a fuck, let alone turn up, that there is no real freedom of speech in the UK.  There is a general fear of upsetting any cunt at all, and pussy-footing around any subject that required either common sense, strong action, or a proper defence of standards and rights.  The fear is ruining everything.

Groping Doctor

A 33-year-old woman had some swelling in her lower leg after being stung by a wasp, and went to see 55-year-old Dr Sharma.  He allegedly made sexual comments before putting her through an unnecessary examination "on all fours with her bottom in the air".  The jury will have to decide if the doctor is guilty or not.  I must contribute my own thoughts: if he did put her through such an examination, why the fuck did she comply?  The woman's allegations mean that we are expected to completely ignore her own stupidity in acting as directed.  I notice as well that the doctor is named, but that as ever, the accuser is granted anonymity.
