We aim to never raise our sights above the gutter and preferably to stay much lower
Free air conditioning
While slurping our dinner the other night we were watching some crappy paranormal thing with Michael Aspel. Funny how
so many apparitions are preceded by a change in temperature, in one bit the investigator found a hotspot several degrees
above normal suddenly appearing. Usually of course, the arrival of ghosts is supposedly accompanied by a pronounced drop in
room temperature.
In these days of expensive energy how come nobody has thought of tapping this free source? You could
construct specially designed thermal engines in known haunting hotspots using a volatile liquid that boiled at normal
room temperature and condensed again at haunting temperature. Somewhere like
Borley Rectory could probably supply 50% of Sudbury's
power requirements in the summer. We could find other uses for psychic cooling too.
Facist
There are far too many of the bastards, they have come in from other countries and are taking over the UK, competing with
and often driving out the natives. Our solution at bloggoth is shooting or poisoning, exterminate as many of them as possible to restore
things to the way it used to be.
They are a problem too. Physically imperfect. Why should we have to look at those that fail so totally to conform to the
proper norms of appearance? They should be eradicated by any means possible.
Eh? No, I'm referring to intrusive species like Grey Squirrels and American Freshwater Crayfish and the ill shaped vegetables
that the EU was insisting until recently could not be sold for human consumption.
What different standards we have for people and squirrels and vegetables. Surely vegetables are people too?
Brill
Found on the blog of recent commenter Beware of Geeks bearing GIFs,
this song on the tube drivers. Too true, the tube could actually be run without them as
this comment in the DT says. The song says it more succinctly, they are all Lazy Fucking Useless Cunts.
PS What? You expect topicality on bloggoth?
Commenty boxy thing
Post comments here. Promises of money or ecstatic praise only please. Anything remotely critical will be removed.
If you do not agree with me you are clearly insane.
Feck em
We at bloggoth had to buy a new coal bin and have been spending money and time concreting and fencing just so we could accomodate
the two feckin' ugly great recycling bins the council have landed us with. If they offload another feckin' ugly great recycling bin on us
we shall go ballistic. Nothing sums up the public sector and government at all levels better than the feckin' ugly great recycling bin.
They are extremely intrusive and inconvenient and they waste your time and money.
They are also all feckin ugly.
Every time you look there are more and more of the bastards intruding
on your life.
Every extra one does a smaller part of the original job but costs you more.
The Italian partisans knew what to do with recycling bins!
This week
Little animals have been annoying we at bloggoth by...
Making footprints all over his nice smooth cement.
Surely the solution to the UK's debt problem is obvious? the BoE only has to print a billion pounds worth of notes with
errors on them and it will instantly be worth £250 bn, enough to pay off the national debt.
Do we have to think of everything?
PS Why a link to China Daily? Dunno, it was just top of the Google page. Do you think we at bloggoth have nothing
better to do than look for UK links?
A new roof for Wimbledon
As we have mentioned more than once, we live in an armchair sports mad family and there is nothing we hate more than Wimbledon
fortnight. It is bloody tennis morning, noon and night. Seems like it anyway.
There seems a lot of disappointment that this year the weather is likely to stay good and there won't be much opportunity to
use the marvellous new high tech roof. Perhaps they should have an alternative roof more suited to good weather. We at bloggoth
have written to the Wimbledon sponsors with our new enhanced design.
Control
We never buy them but we at bloggoth do like those little USB gadgets you can get at PC World or Dixons. How much
more useful if one could plug in wives and children.
PS People controlled by USB always talk in Courier or MS Sans Serif fonts.
Obviously, we cannot be arsed to look for it but we said before when you voted to allow him to run indefinitely,
you have opened the door to dictatorship. If it hasn't sunk in yet, Venezuelans, you can either have
socialism or you can have democracy. You can't have both. Worse is heading your way, you can count on it.
Back again
Here we go again! xoggoth has just come back from Madrid (not Barcelona as he said before, senile old git) and expects
us to post more boring photos. He got all stroppy last time because we only posted 3 and those at 25x25 pixels, so we
won't be doing that again!
Prada Museum or something
Hey, one picture at 10x8 pixels! Big improvement!
Here's one he took of the paper place mat at a cafe. He thought it was really great because it has uparse in the word.
That Voluntary Tourrette's Syndrome is a sad affliction! PS For non existent readers, according to Babel Fish it means
"in order to become lean the fingers", colloquially "finger lickin' good"
We all have a duty to defend our country
Me and missus are off to Barcelona on Tuesday. Great time for tensions over Gibralta to
start up again. How dare they? Unlucky for them that our real christian name is Francis, just like Drake's. We shall
certainly be sinking a few Spanish ships while over there.
Oh ok, we shall probably just sink a few vodkas and crap in the hotel drinks cabinet before leaving for the airport. It's the
spirit that counts.
Damn global warming
Species that normally live a lot further South are entering Britain due to a warmer climate. I find my computer desk has been
invaded by Mediterranean Ruby Starfish again! How do you get rid of these things?
Try again
Lots of bloggers rant comment on current affairs but very few attempt to look into the future and say how they
think things will develop. Coven members Mr Sheep and
Wolfie are a couple of exceptions.
The first we heard of the looming credit crunch and its probable catostrophic nature, some time before it happened,
was on Wolfie's blog. The last time we did a link to one of his very intelligent items on the economic situation he took it down.
Maybe better luck with this one.
Why are they doing it? As one said, these people fan the flames of the "right-wing extremists".
Does it in any way alter the nature of Islam? If most Muslims are really such tolerant moderates willing to stand up for non
Muslims against their co-religionists, what explains the things that go on in Muslim lands across the world?
People will often be very reasonable when it is in their own interests to do so. Would we see this sort of defence of
British values if (when) Islam takes over? Not a chance. Islam is the threat, Islamic extremism is just the icing
on a very nasty cake.
And yet more moderates
The most bizarre Muslim arse-sucking news of the day is that the
BBC is to pay some of our licence fee to the MCB over an alleged slur, that they have encouraged attacks
on British troops abroad.
Yet according to this
article from the Communities Secretary they admitted themselves that their deputy secretary general attended the
Istanbul conference and signed a declaration that calls for violence against foreign troops and Jewish communities.
We note the MCB have taken no further steps to sue the government over this supposed libel,
given an issued document from a major conference with a signature on it, that might be difficult we geuss.
In protesting about the BBC they indulge in typical weasely "moderate" Muslim crap about speaking out against
terrorism. That is not what Charles Moore said of course, he did not accuse them of supporting terrorism, he spoke specifically
about supporting fighting against British troops abroad. Exactly, according to Ms Blears, what they have admitted one of their
leaders put his name to.
For once we have to give credit to the government for standing up for British interests rather than appeasing this shitty "moderate" organisation. What a shame the BBC is so craven at our expense.
Imagination lost and modesty gained
Apologies to non-existent readers for lack of bloggoth recently. Everyone else is to blame:
Missus for making us do boring things like decorate kitchens
Worldpay/Microsoft/spammers for causing us a lot of grief and making us spend ages revamping business
programs and website
The old man for kicking the bucket due to a massive stroke when only a year or so older than us, causing us to decide
to get healthy by spending loads of time at gym or on exercise machine
All this has killed our imagination, although the exercise (can't be decorating kitchens surely) seem to have done
wonders for the libido. What a shame we have no suitable outlets these days apart from the missus.
Where have all the local prossies gone? There used to be various "recreational facilities"
not far away, now there is nowt. What is the point of the wife's teacher's pension if we can't spend it on prossies?
We seem to be entering a new era of sexual repression. At the gym changing room most of the blokes
change by fiddling around under their towels like a bunch of nuns.
The religious bastards seem to be winning.
Speaking of which, The atheist blogger is back after finishing his exams and has been
promoted to the coven. His latest posts are well worth a read. Is this really what is happening in our universities now?
Time for us non believers to stop being so nice.
Didn't we say?
A little while ago here we commented on a hover-fly that seemed strangely interested when
we were voicing a bit of sedition.
It seems that the idea of a robotic flying insect equipped with a spy camera was
not a bloggoth fantasy after all.
Given the way that democracy and freedom is going into reverse the world over, bulldozed by Islam and socialism and
beurocratic empires, those who will still be around in a few decades should be very, very afraid.
Bring back the Greek gods
It isn't saying much but Greek mythology was at least as sensible as any "modern" religion.
Each area of life was allocated to a different
god and we all got to worship the one we liked the most. If he/she did not deliver the goods we could take up our prayer mat and go and
worship another one. It wasn't exactly democracy but it's much closer than having an awful egocentric dictator god like that of the
"religions of the book", even old Zeus didn't have things entirely his own way.
What a great idea if every aspect of nature really was controlled by a different god. What impact would that have on modern
problems like deforestation, pollution or global warming? Instead of everyone being affected equally by the actions of selfish people
the god concerned could send his retribution down on the individuals responsible. It would be a marvellous system.
Commenty boxy thing
Post comments here. Promises of money or ecstatic praise only please. Anything remotely critical will be removed.
If you do not agree with me you are clearly insane.
There's a reason for that
The ghastly Daily Express reports a
survey supposedly showing that
eight out of ten British Muslims are loyal to the UK.
Giving the standards of living in Pakistan and Bangladesh and
the welfare statistics for those groups here it is hardly surprising they prefer the UK to their countries of origin. Other surveys
have shown that over 40% wanted Shariah in the UK. Loyalty to this country clearly does not mean loyalty and committment to current
British laws and traditions.
The survey also says that British Muslims were less likely than the general public to find other religious practices a threat
to their way of life. We daresay. "Other religious practices" for the rest of us include Islam. For Muslims they don't.
The attitudes of non Muslims are put down to the sometimes hysterical reporting of sections of the media regarding these issues.
The laws in many Muslim countries that see others marginalised and attacked are misreporting by the press? Perhaps the hate-filled
contents of the Qu'ran or the prophet's barbaric teachings and acts in the Haddiths are inventions by the newspapers?
Or the backward practices of the religion in
relations to women, animal welfare, private sexual practices or the penal code? Maybe Jews, Christians, Sikhs and Hindus are equally
likely to be found at terrorist training camps, carrying placards calling for beheadings, making speeches calling for homosexuals to
be thrown off cliffs or advocating a Britain ruled by their religion but the biased press never mentions it.
You can show damn near anything with a suitably worded survey. Those indigenous British who reported no committment to Britain,
what did they mean? Being among them, we suggest that they feel that anything resembling a nation or culture of their own has been
taken from them. We have no nation anymore, we are just a dormitory area where a mass of disparate and often mutually hostile
people live. Britain no longer feels like home.
But would any significant number of that group actually contemplate fighting against the UK? We doubt it. Not a comment you
could make about the less patriotic Muslims in that survey.
So that's why!
we at bloggoth are almost never ill! The last time we can remember was in 1996 after a dodgy supermarket Khorma.
An article in New Scientist
explains it.
Enough of the emotional crap, let's have a bit of considered policy
As we said some time ago we do not share the general enthusiasm for the Ghurkas.
The eulogies about them look distinctly overcooked. Is there
not one who is not an absolute hero? Not one who is likely to prove a less than perfect citizen?
Ex servicemen from the ranks of any country,
including our own,
find it hard to adjust to civilian life and are often not the best citizens, in part due to the stresses of service.
To say that all the Ghurkas are leaving the forces as well
adjusted and useful is just the usual inverted racism whereby nobody who is not white and British may be criticised.
We are not questioning their fighting ability in general but should there really be a blanket approach to admission, without individual scrutiny, that gives them all the pensions and NHS entitlements of our own soldiers after as little as FOUR YEARS when, unlike our own
soldiers, they have spent much of their wages outside our country?
As Not proud Of Britain has commented more
recently, this may be one of the very rare occasions when {Lying Scottish C* ... Brownstuff} is right. He is
accused of lying over the issue
by claiming they are going to cost taxpayers £1.4bn.
The numbers are said to be inflated because few would actually choose to come to
the UK. That argument sounds familiar, we heard it about Poles and Hungarians when those countries joined the EU and this useless
government did not limit entry as other EU countries did.
So some of the least desirable ex Ghurkas, used to
living abroad, are really not going to find under £600 to escape the world's 12th poorest country *Note 1
in return for a lifetime's entitlement to welfare and treatment on the NHS?
Bogus asylum seekers from other poor countries manage to find much bigger sums to pay trafficers,
it's a sound investment.
The cost per person is said to be exaggerated at £14k each for someone with 2 dependents because the Ghurkas
are industrious and unlikely to be reliant on welfare. *Note 2
Given the statistics about ex servicemen in general, let alone any handicapped by poor English,
that is a very dubious assertion. Those who are here appear to be doing ok but much of that seems to be due to employers,
caught up in the general adulation, bending over backwards to take them on in the way they seemingly cannot be bothered
to do for our own servicemen. Will that still apply with much larger numbers? especially if they disappoint.
The jobs in the security industry, as drivers, as railway engineers laying track and so on to which their experience suits them
are anyway not well paid. Will their net contribution, after they have sent large amounts of money back to Nepal,
really cover education for children with no English, NHS costs for themselves and wives, pensions etc?
That two dependents sounds
sort of unlikely too. While it is true that Nepalese do tend to have small families, the experience with others from very poor
countries, like Bangladesh, is that a dependent family member is anyone they can get away with claiming as one.
Another major factor nobody is considering is the current political state of Nepal of which
we had more news just today. What happens if that
country's "tenuous peace" should break down and civil war returns?
As with Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Kurdish Turkey, Zimbabwe, Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan,
unrest in a country which has significant numbers of its citizens in the UK soon sees the fallout for UK citizens in the form of illegal
migration and asylum, public protests, crime and radicalism.
The Ghurkas are mercenaries *Note 3 who volunteered and were paid for their services.
In this case the government is right, service in our armed forces should provide no automatic route to UK residence.
Note 1: We don't wish to sound too picky or anything but why is Nepal the world's 12th poorest country
(and that after receiving 60% of national income as foreign aid) if all its people are such industrious paragons?
Note 2: We heard that about the Tamils too. In fact 30% in London were unemployed before the recession.
Note 3: Yes, they are engaged under contract and mercenaries is an accurate description.
And as if they weren't wasting enough of our money...
...by the very fact that so many of the useless bastards exist, they are determined to waste even more by getting involved
in every conflict going. Now a bunch of MPs is visiting Sri Lanka.
Why? What possible positive contribution can they make to the situation? After 50 years of conflict and negotiations to end
the conflict by those concerned is it likely that one of our expenses-fiddling
party-poodle MPs is going to say "Why don't you..." and the leaders of the government and Tamil Tigers are going to say
"Hey! You're right! Why didn't we think of that?"
We at bloggoth have fed the
facts and figures into our political computer and calculated to a 999.99% degree of accuracy that the chances of this visit
producing anything positive at all are 0.13711x10-46. The chances that the visit will
cost the British taxpayer another umpteen million pounds paying for the first class air fares and accomodation and lavish
entertainment, on the other hand, is 100%.
Why do these arrogant political globalists assume that it is easy to solve conflicts when those concerned cannot? Problems
with Somalian piracy? ALL we have to do is solve the political situation in that country. Simple, send in some Western politicians
to mediate between two warring Muslim factions. And change the violent tribal nature of the country's culture on their day off.
That'll work. After all, we soon sorted Afghanistan out didn't we?
Ethnic conflicts that have existed for generations take generations to sort out. The only quick fix to the violence
is overwhelming force, pretty much the solution the Sri Lankan government is embarked upon. A very unjust solution given the
history of the conflict but at least it works. It took a Tito to impose unity on Yugoslavia, a Saddam Hussein on Iraq.
Neither solved the problems. Only the people concerned and time, a very, very long time, can do that.
Is it really an embarassment?
The problem that concerns most taxpayers is the money bloody MPs get from us.
There are far too many of the bastards in the first place, why the hell do we have 646 MPs and 670 eligible for the Lords for
a population of 61 million when the US has 535 congressman and 100 senators for a population of 303 million? It is not as if they
do the main job they are paid to do, represent their consitutuents in a consultative democracy. They have given away far too many powers
to an unelected EU without any consulation with the voters and most file through the lobbies like the trained rats they are,
motivated only by the prospects of advancement in their parties.
Why should MPs
not have outside jobs? Given their sheer pointlessness in The House, they may as well.
Tory MPs are reckoned to have more outside jobs than Labour MPs which some say will be an embarassment to Cameron. He is worrying
needlessly in our view. Most sensible people (ie those less likely to vote Labour) will rightly take this as a measure of their
greater commercial value and experience outside politics. When they do turn up to debates or serve on committees they at least
might bring some practical real life experience into their decisions.
The way to look at this is, what commercial company in their right mind would employ the average Labour politican?
Some defence
Nice to see that Mr Fat Sleezy M4 outer lane all for me playing croquet on taxpayers' time overpaid violent totally pointless John
Prescot and Mr Blind Sleezy lover's rail fares and private lawyers's fees (alledgedly (ie probably)) out of taxpayers' money
authoritarian irrational lunatic bully Blunket have popped their heads out of the dungheap to defend
{Lying Scottish C* ... Brownstuff}.
As far as the general public are concerned, a bit like Count Dracula and Jack The Ripper defending Adoph Hitler. Keep it up
chaps.
All sayings are true
Big bugs have little bugs upon their backs to bite 'em. Little bugs have smaller bugs and so ad infinitum.
On second thoughts
As stated in previous we thought there is overreaction to the swine flue thing. Until we read
this. It seems that {Lying Scottish C* ... Brownstuff} has said that
"The UK is one of the best prepared countries to deal with swine flu"
Like the UK was one of the best prepared to cope with the recession when the IMF, among many others, has said we will be among
the most severely affected due to high debt levels?
Aaaaagh! We must be doomed. Panic! panic! panic!
Buncha cranks
Warn of a pandemic and a lot of daft hypochondriacs
start to panic. Fair enough for any just back
from Mexico/Southern US we suppose but what are these other nuts fussing about?
Flue, pah! We at bloggoth don't think we have ever actually had flue, not unless feeling slightly under the weather is flue
anyway, we have never had this week in bed feeling exhausted and achey thing like people are supposed to get. This is probably because
we are nice to little germs and viruses as were are to other little creatures. We can accidentally pick up a stone and get an arm
covered in red ants and they don't bite us. We can pick up a wasp to rescue it from a pub window and we don't get stung.
Hello, H1N1 viruses we say, what are you up to today? Fine, xoggoth they say, we are just off to infect some horrible common
and foreign people. It is a fact that horrible common and foreign people get far more viruses and other illnesses than us educated
British sorts, this only proves the discerning nature of nice little germs in our view.
Whoops. Bang goes another liberal lefty lie
If anyone got too nasty about those Somali pirates some liberal lefty sort would pop up and assure us that if not for
illegal fishing and toxic dumping by other nations (in other words it is all our fault as usual) they would all be peacefully fishing.
That hardly excuses indiscriminate piracy against ships of companies or nations that have nothing to to do with their problems.
It seems from this that actually real Somali fisherman have
among among the major targets.
Horrible foreign people rig sports to suit themselves
The Missus was watching some boring tennis final with Rafael Nadal today. She seems to like gormless Mexican looking sorts,
she used to like Lou Diamond Phillips once. For those who never watch it, tennis is a game where some bloke hits a ball and
goes oooogh! and the other bloke hits it back and goes uuuuuugh! This repeats with minor variations for two hours.
Nadal's even better on clay than he is on grass apparently. Probably because Mediterranean countries don't do grass very well in
summer, it all goes dry and brown, so they pick a surface that suits them. Why don't we do the same, pick conditions and surfaces
that suit us and demand that players from other countries compete on it? Moss courts would be great, or soggy algae courts,
even better.
The great new British sport of soggy algae court tennis
So much to panic about
Drinking a bottle of Corona Extra beer today. Aaaaagh! It's made in Mexico! Do Mexicans put pig in their beer? We wouldn't
put it past them.
As we have observed before, it's funny how these viruses always jump the species barrier
in third world countries. Bird Flue from China, now swine flue from Mexico. What are they doing with their animals that this
should keep happening? fnaar fnaar. Pigs. Not that we would really blame the Mexicans if they were, we would. Some reckon HIV
jumped the species barrier from baboons in Africa. Phwoar! Some people have all the fun.
PS And the sun is unusually inactive. That will be {Lying Scottish C* ... Brownstuff}'s fault.
We should all be slumdogs
There probably aren't too many things we can learn from the poorer parts of the third world but one of them is surely the
way they are so much less wasteful. Over here that bit of corrugated iron from your henhouse goes to the dump where it will
be shipped to China and used in some shiny new steel thing with the expenditure of a lot more energy before being shipped back
to the uk and sold wrapped in masses of plastic packaging. Over there it is roofing to patch a leak.
Under the lash of the missus, we at bloggoth have been busy transforming our house and garden and, as an utterly mean old
bastard, have taken great delight in reusing bits. What is the point of buying lengths of wood to support those planters behind
the decking when the bits of old greenhouse on bricks are only visible from MR PIKEY SCUM's garden? What is the point of buying
expensive storage units for the new shed when you have those old kitchen units? It's a shed! You don't spend your life in there.
*Note 1
Sometimes the things you want cannot be purchased in shops anyway. A large fire in Arthur's Seat needs something on top
to protect the Horse Chestnut tree that has suddenly blossomed just behind it, the old shed door was ok but we used that for the raised flowerbeds. It really needs a large metal cylinder (that we can store behind the shed out of our sight but in full view of MR
PIKEY SCUM's garden) but you can't go into Homebase and ask for an old dustbin with no bottom or the drummy bit out of a spin dryer.
If the government wants to cut down on waste it should change its policies on disposal. Instead of banning people removing things
from dumps just allow anyone to take what they want. Let squatters move in and make homes out of bits of old corrugated iron
and make a living collecting stuff together.
What bliss! Could there be anything more satisfying than wandering around a rubbish tip rummaging through the contents?
We wonder if that slumdog place is taking bookings?
Note 1: Although we at bloggoth do obviously. When not staring at the wall, we spend our lives endlessly
sorting and polishing our huge collection of wood screws and old washing machine parts.
PC conclusions
This sort of thing is irritating. Black workers in a council being paid less than white workers is proof
of institutional racism.
No it isn't. If a detailed study showed that there were as many black workers as white workers applying for
the same positions and they were being turned down despite being equally qualified or if there was a similar bias, all other factors
being equal, in promotion and dismissal that would be proof of institutional racism.
Has such a study actually been done? Apparently not. It is always easier for unions and other lefties to apply their inverted racist
logic and blame whitey.
In our socially and economically immobile society the factors that determine more than any other how well migrants and their
descendants perform are the abilities and skills they brought with them.
If you import poorly educated people as railway cleaners you get several generations
of railway cleaners. Had we ever had a proper immigration policy that selected only the best educated and most able with a committment
to British society we would have almost none of the strains and tensions we have now.
I don't think most whites really care too much what colour someone is but they do care about crime, welfare dependency and hostile
cultures.
Especially, they get pissed off with being blamed for failures of minorities that clearly mirror those in their
countries of origin where they control their own destinies. Poor economic performance, violent crime, youths giving up on education
and far too many fatherless children are major problems in Jamaica too. As for Africa...
Ah! but it must be the legacy of empire. We knew whitey had to be to blame somehow.
Yes but
Various blogs, including Wolfie, I Love Juice and Lionheart at left, are all honouring St George's Day.
We can understand celebrating England and saying up yours to all the ghastly non-English and refusing to be English people
who infest England but what about that NICE LITTLE DRAGON? How can anyone support slaying a NICE LITTLE DRAGON?
Real English people would never have speared a dragon, rather they would have kept it as a pet and called it Dragony
and fed it with chocolate and let it sleep on their bed.
We at bloggoth are celebrating Englishness in our own way by remembering NICE LITTLE DRAGON day.
Environmental protesters lay siege to the house of commons
It appears that green activists have
blocked MPs from
entering the Commons. It is amazing that the police are doing nothing about this illegal protest.
PS. Oh no, sorry, we got our news items mixed up a bit here. It is not green activists protesting about British policy on
coal fired power stations but Tamils protesting, at the expense of the Beritish taxpayer, about something which the British
government has no control over at all.
It is only white British citizens who suffer enforcement of the law and get their heads cracked. Silly us.
Another sign of the times
Unecessary violence used by The Met at the G20 protest seems to be becoming the norm for this once respected organisation.
Once upon a time they used to relieve their tensions from doing a difficult job by knowing nothing whatever about how
chaps with thick lips and dark complexions came to fall down the stairs to the cells and suffer fatal head injuries and would
then have been relaxed and smiling when they came out to deal with the citizens who don't have thick lips.
The McPherson report has a lot to answer for.
Paranoia is the new normal
We had a late bit of sun today and me and the missus were sitting on the decking seat when this big Hover-fly came down
and started hovering above and just in front of us. It was so persistent I took this picture. I was just saying that I wanted
to assassinate {Lying Scottish C* ... Brownstuff} at the time. Funny markings it has.
We do not follows boxing much so we missed the news a few years back that he had been bankrupted by the
Inland Revenue. Belatedly, Chris joins the list of absolute bloggoth heros who can do no wrong.
TAXATION IS THEFT!!!
This law is nuts
When people get mad they tend to come out with the worst insults they can think of and that may include racist abuse.
That does not necessarily make an assault racially motivated because the fight may have started over an issue which has
nothing whatever to do with race. The distinction appears to be lost on our idiot legal system unfortunately.
Although one can see that repeated verbal insults will be very distressing, that situation is covered by laws on harrassment.
Does it really make sense to prosecute for a single verbal exchange in the heat of the moment?
By what bizarre value system is it worse to insult someone's race, something people are not normally ashamed of,
than to abuse them for some physical defect that they may be accutely sensitive about?
One also has to question if an insult, whatever its nature, should somehow be treated as something far worse than a
physical assault. The maximum sentence for common assault is 6 months. The maximum sentence for racially
aggravated common assault is 2 years. So you if you break someone's jaw and call them a name, the jaw breaking gets you 6 months
and the name calling gets you 18? That is an insane departure from any sense of proportion.
In many cases one reads about one also cannot avoid the conclusion that these laws mainly work one way.
In
this rather minor incident the only one prosecuted was the white youth for his "racist assault" even though it was in
response to having curry powder flung in his eyes. Any prosecution of the Asian neighbour for that? Apparently not.
A ghost theory
Following on from previous, we would never totally reject every aspect of the supernatural even though 99.99% is probably
drivel. The mind can play all sorts of tricks and chance can generate illusions which appear totally real. How many ghostly faces looking
out of windows have been patterns on a wall with some leaves stuck to the glass in front? Even allowing for all that,
most of us have has some totally inexplicable experience, not imagination because others experienced it too and not
some mundane coincidence when it is clear and happens a foot in front of your face.
If you look at the more "convincing" ghost stories they never suggest sentient spirits at all, rather just some
recurring memory that got left behind and plays over and over. They never seem to depict great traumatic events in someone's life
either, just figures wandering pointlessly in corridors or through walls.
One thing we have all noticed is that when we forget what we were going to do, we can usually remember by going back to the
place where we first thought of it. If we lose something we go back to where we remember having it and even if it is not actually
there we can often remember what we then did with it. Maybe that's what ghosts are trying to do.
Does god exist? Who cares if he doesn't give a shit about us?
The atheism of we at bloggoth is not founded on a belief that there is no god, one can no more prove divine non-existence
than divine existence and "intelligent design" appears as good a theory as any. It is founded on the belief that there
is not an interested god who rewards us in the afterlife according what we do in this one.
In as far as anything can be shown as manifest nonsense that can. Our personalities are determined by our genes
and our upbringing and can be totally altered by accident, drugs, disease or experiences, any of which may be totally outside
our control. How is there true free will? How can we all have an equal chance of salvation? Since we are so clearly always just
the products of our chemical and physical processes, where is this independent essence, the soul?
Then there is the problem of which is the true faith. If we have been brought up to believe in the wrong faith or in
none at all, how is that our fault and deserving of everlasting damnation? The faithful trot out nonsense about the true faith
being somehow revealed to us all, we have but to grasp it. Even if that was true, the fact that salvation is a lot harder for
some than others indicates a rather arbitrary and unjust god. It is utter nonsense of course. Why would children have to be taught
religion if the knowledge was there already?
Some modern style believers may say that none of the above really matters, god only expects us to do what we can within the
limits of our natures and that we may all worship him in our own way. That sort of wooliness might work if the differences
in religions were all minor details of worship but they are fundamental and each makes firm demands. If a man of another faith
fights against my religion should I turn the other cheek as Christianity demands or kill him as Islam or Judaism allow?
How can I believe in Christ's resurrection and the teachings of the prophet when the beliefs are not compatible?
If we can pick and choose what we believe according to our natures then what is wrong with being an agnostic or atheist?
If you can question one part of the bible or Qu'ran then why not another? Blind faith is the very basis of religion, once you
start to question any part of the central teachings the whole edifice comes crashing down round your ears.
Then there is the crazy nature of the beliefs. The Christian god made man with an ability to think
for himself and evaluate his world and then condemns him for doing so. To rectify this error on his part he sends some aspect
of himself to get nailed to a cross so we can all use the same flawed judgements he condemned us for in the first place in
deciding what it is supposed to mean. If he really loves us why not make it a darn sight clearer what we are supposed to do?
Sorry Christians but your god is clearly a dimwit.
Then we have the Muslim version who created man with an ability to think for himself and then required him never to do so
but rather to follow the dictats of a vicious and probably insane 6th century warlord even down to how they should wipe their arses.
His sole purpose in creating man seems to have been to bask in total obedience and worship for eternity and to exact violent
revenge on those who did not see it that way. Sorry Muslims but your god is clearly a total arsehole.
Alien parasitic daffodils infesting 90% of all living things say scientists
For several months people have been reporting mysterious green shoots. Ministers in the
government and other public figures have been publicly derided for reporting sightings of green shoots. In the US, politicians
and senior government figures including the chairman of the federal reserve have reported seeing green shoots.
Now scientists have discovered that those reporting green shoots were right all along. A species of parasitic alien daffodil,
probably brought to Earth on a comet, have been spreading largely unseen beneath the surface of the Earth and growing
tendrils in living creatures which have so far gone unnoticed due to their minute size and the exudation of a natural pain killer.
With the coming of spring scientists anticipate that the alien daffodils will start to grow and multiply enormously and
burst forth from their hosts with probably fatal results. The plus side will be that the credit crunch will be ended as there will be
no demand for credit whatever.
A few have sprouted already with tragic consequences. This youth was discovered lying in a Deptford street last week.
Paramedics applied Weedol but were too late to save him.
They are quite right
The Pakistani government has
rightly hit back
at {Lying Scottish C* ... Brownstuff}'s criticism that they are not doing enough to stop terrorists coming to the UK.
How utterly absurd the man is. Everything is someone else's fault.
It is our government's job to have proper immigration controls to protect the British public.
If their fucking party had not been pursuing a deliberate Marxist agenda to destroy any concept
of British nationality for ten years, allowing anyone to come in with almost non existent checks, allowing phony colleges
that are just fronts for illegal immigration, we would not have half the problems we have now.
In the current circumstances of that country, there is only one sane policy with regard to immigration from it other than
for short term business reasons and family visits - stop it altogether.
Update. Anyone who watches UK Border Force where illegal migrants are invariably let go or or who follows the news at all
when criminals frequently turn out to be illegals or "failed asylum seekers" (AKA illegal immigrants) knows the reality
of Britain's "tough controls". The quote in this
artice sums it up.
A police source said that the decision to admit the suspect at the airport had been "a shambles".
He added: "This man’s documents were all over the place. He was allowed to proceed on the basis that he had to
come back for an appointment with immigration and show them correct documents.
He was never going to do that. He was effectively left free to do whatever he wanted."
And
This also shows how totally typical is the failure to deport illegal immigrants, even criminals.
Voting rights
Ministers have "caved in" to
EU demands to give votes to prisoners.
I bet they did not resist too hard, they must
be desperate for votes and a bunch of murderers, thieves and rapists are much more likely to vote Labour than responsible
law-abiding people who work to feed themselves and their families. A large prison full of Labour voters might just swing the
odd seat.
I bet we will soon see a labour initiative to allow others to vote who legally have not been allowed to previously.
Peers of the realm? Probably not, at least as many of those would vote Tory unless bribed and a few hundred votes scattered
across the country will not affect anything. What is the other group barred from voting? Ah yes! The insane! Who is more likely
to vote Labour than insane people?
I bet they are poring over the inmate figures for secure psychiatric hospitals in marginal seats at this moment.
You read it here on bloggoth first. Look for this legislation soon.
Sod 'em, let 'em jump
Why do Londoners continually have to suffer disruption and pick up the bill for protests by foreign nationals about
issues which have nothing to do with the British? *Note 1
There is a not a damn thing the UK should be doing about this issue anyway. Vague sympathy with people who want to run their
own affairs and preserve their own cultures is one thing *Note 2
but the realities are much more complex. For every Tamil with a viewpoint you will find a Sri Lankan with an opposite one.
Outside governments with no proper understanding of the issues should not get involved in these things other than in the
most extreme circumstances.
Like so many other organisations with a basic cause we might otherwise sympathise with, the Tamil Tigers have forfeited
that sympathy with hostage taking and indiscriminate terrorist attacks on civilians in Sri Lanka and criminal activities
in Britain and elsewhere to finance it and are rightly held to be an illegal terrorist operation.
Like that other group which uses any means in the fight for independence,
the Kurds, the Tamils are more than averagely
useless, with more than
30% in London being
unemployed before the credit crunch due to factors such as poor English and low numeracy and sharing the former's
distinction in requiring a
special allocation of police manpower
to cope with their criminality.
Don't you just love the "benefits" of immigration?
Note 1: It might be fair enough to feel some responsibility for events of 60 years ago
if other nations ever did but nope, it is only former white Anglo Saxon nations who are obliged to feel guilty about everything in
their history without time limit. Those involved who have had 60 years to solve their problems are quite blameless.
Note 2: Although obviously if WE want to do so we are racist and zenophobic! We have to put up with
hordes of violent and useless people (like too many Tamils) and go around saying how enriched we are.
Good for the NUT
They have called for an
end to faith schools. They have said that the policy has created "segregated schooling" in many parts of the country.
We all know what they are really referring to, even those who do not have teachers in their families. State primary schools try
their best to promote understanding of other cultures with lessons in how different faiths work and visits to churches, mosques or temples.
There is no attempt to make children actually take any part in practices of these religions but nevertheless some parents refuse to
let their children participate at all. Three geusses who these parents usually are according to the missus and no it isn't
usually Christians, Sikhs or Hindus.
Faith schools were never a problem once and it is a pity that those of other faiths should be penalised but that was before
our foolish leaders inflicted the backward political creed of Islam upon the West. We can't afford to let it be perpetuated
at our expense.
Yeh
Forgotten this one but it's on a CD collection I got recently. So many things we regret.
Unpleasant medical conditions 3 - Vibration White Fanny
The condition Vibration White Finger has long been known to be
a problem among navvies, miners and other manual workers who use vibrating power tools such as pneumatic drills. More recently, due to
increasing use of vibrators, doctors are seeing more and more cases of women with a similarly caused syndrome,
Vibration White Fanny.
Generally, given a prolonged rest from use of Rabbits and other devices, Vibration White Fanny will clear up on its
own. Unfortunately, a small minority of women with the condition, finding that their fannies have become too numb for
their usual vibrators to give them orgasm, have resorted to using pneumatic drills, leading to the onset of the fatal
condition Vibration White Everything.
PS The over long arms are an initial symptom of Vibration White Everything syndrome and not just crappy drawing at all.
Do we need personality tests for scientists?
The impartiality of science is often called into question, as here on
the issue of passive smoking.
Unfortunately, there is nothing new about scientific theories becoming unchallengable orthodoxy.
Perhaps when we choose our scientists
and engineers we concentrate too much on their academic abilities and too little on their personalities. Maybe profiling could
ensure we choose only those with the required degree of scientific detachment, able to look at issues on their logical merits.
Why not
we were reading PC Bloggs' item on the difficulty of catching
a serial rapist. There's the old chastity belt idea of course but why not use a more modern technique commonly used to
protect large sums of money? Women could have exploding bags of indelible dye up their fannies. This could also be used
appropriately by incredibly attractive and sexy blokes like we at bloggoth to guard against arse bandits.
The role of underwear in evolution
A naked pole vaulter has been protesting
at something or other in Paris. It seems he did not do any pole vaulting but if he had I bet he would not have come anywhere
near his personal best let alone broken any records. There is no doubt that men's wobbly bits, women's too probably, are a huge
impediment to athletic endevour; when subjected to significant G force or just plain gravity for a prolonged period
they are just too bleedin' uncomfortable.
We at bloggoth can understand a spot of nude sunbathing but how nudists can actually enjoy spending all their time nude we
have no idea, after a while one longs for the support of one's good old Marks and Spencer Y fronts. So many things man does
are uncomfortable, not to mention decidedly hazardous, without underpants. How do primitive peoples
manage without clothes? Maybe that's why they are still primitive.
Could it be that mankind only started to be the dominant species when some chance discovery gave him underpants?
If we put underpants on animals, would they start building pyramids? It's worth a try.
In initial tests, a bull fitted with underpants was able to assemble this MFI medicine cabinet with only minimal reference
to the instructions.
