Politics Update!

The last few days has seen some major political developments. By “the last few days” I really mean “Thursday night”, but I was too lazy to blog about it at the time, so I’m going to call it “the last few days” so I don’t sound behind the times.

Apparently no one is being charged over the Cash for Peerages thing. This is ridiculous. Selling access to the legislature to the highest bidder is one thing – but letting in rich businessmen for free is insane. Of course they should be charged – think about how much money they could raise!

Politics comment #2!

The Tories were thrashed in two by-elections. I was going to blog about this earlier, making a hilarious play on the phrase “by-election” by speculating who was the best bisexual: Simon Hughes or Captain Jack from Doctor Who/Torchwood. These two were the only two famous bisexuals I can think of, which is why this blog entry never materialised.

I was pleased with the election result though – UKIP were once again proved to be a political insignificance, being beaten by the BNP in Sedgefield. Yeah, that BNP. I guess its because people prefer an honest racist to a closet racist. In Ealing Southall, they were beaten by the Greens and Respect. Ace.

Politics comment #3!

Eight cabinet ministers have admitted to having smoked cannabis. This annoys me, as it implies that politicians are much cooler than I am. I’ve never smoked cannabis (Coke is a different story), and yet whilst I’m sitting here unemployed being a poor student, the naughty kids who took drugs are now running the country. There’s no justice.

I reckon this was all a clever political move though. Nobody cares whether these politicians smoked cannabis at university – what people do care about though is whether David Cameron has. I dare-say the Tory grass-roots would be too thrilled if their leader had taken drugs, what with them being more, er, conservative, than your average voter. Are they trying to provoke some discontent amongst the Tories? I hope so. Its a very clever plan.

Boris is definitely running for London Mayor and is on the Tory shortlist. I wrote about this only a week ago. I don’t know how anyone can think that electing a man who was complicit in an attempt to assault a journalist is a good person to run London.

More politics: soon!

   It is not very intelligent not to realise that one can support UKIP as the only party wishing to leave the EU. Since all the member countries of the EU are of the same race how please can wishing to leave it be \’racist\’? How too can a party be \’a political insignificance\’ ? Do you speak English? You certainly do not write complete sentences. Who is a good person to run London – one who likens a Jewish journalist to a concentration camp guard?

   I think wanting to leave the EU is madness.

   I never said that I thought UKIP were racist because they wanted to leave the EU – I think that they’re racist because of comments by “prominent” UKIP politicians. Nigel Farage saying that “the nig-nogs will never vote for us” (his words).

   Would you prefer it if I called them “politically insignificant”?

   Ken’s remarks about the concentration camp guard were insensitive, and he didn’t know the journalist was Jewish initially. He was also drunk. Whilst this is no excuse – its easier to excuse than a man who was aiding a violent assault.

   A silly post indeed. Nigel Farage has denied making those “nig-nog” comments. Leaving the EU is not madness. There are European countries outside of the EU doing quite well and they do not have the same trade traffic as the UK whereby the EU sells more goods and services to us than the other way round. I am neither a closet or open racist and can point to instances where UKIP have hounded people out of the party for BNP links.

   Sick of getting low amounts of useless traffic to your website? Well i want to let you know about a new underground tactic that makes myself $900 each day on 100% AUTOPILOT. I possibly could be here all day and going into detail but why dont you merely check their website out? There is a excellent video that explains everything. So if your seriously interested in producing quick hard cash this is the website for you. Auto Traffic Avalanche
