June 25th, 2008 · 1 Comment

A few weeks ago I was shopping in Tesco, outside were group of teenage boys talking, but the sounds coming from their lips were only barely understandable. Words were ejaculating from them in one-word-per-breath guttural tones, they were hanging their heads and shoulders and it did honestly remind be of the behaviour of primates I’ve […]

May 21st, 2008 · No Comments

French fishermen are blockading all major french ferry ports, ruining 1000’s of people’s bank holiday plans as part of a strategically timed appeal for state aid. The extra money they want is in order to cope with rising fuel prices.

Stop calling Enoch Powell a racist and do some reading for Pete’s sake!
