The generic nonsense you love

Lily Allen in ‘affair with dog’ shock

In much the same way that most Literal Music Videos aren't funny, most mash-ups aren't funny. In much the same way that the Total Eclipse Of The Heart LMV was epic genius, this is epic genius. And really rather sweet:

The gayest man on Earth would call this over the top

You may already have seen this, it's been over the Internets for a while. But if you haven't, you need it; it is quite literally the funniest thing ever:

We write letters

Just sent this letter to the Observer's readers editor: Re: 'Light-touch' reforms raise fears of new bank disaster This article from Sunday 12 June has one of the most inaccurate sentences I've ever seen anywhere: "Critics point out that it was a subsidiary of Northern Rock, Granite, that contained the liabilities that led to the … Continue reading We write letters

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-06-14

Can some Eurologist like @nosemonkey explain how the BNP got a seat in NW on 8% of vote, but not in E Mids or NE on more than that? # RT @qwghlm In case you haven't seen it already, B3ta sums it up best http://bit.ly/I2LhG #theBNParetwats # Thanks everyone.

Doing the BNP to death

That's 'as a conversational topic', not 'with a blunt instrument', sadly. Two BNPish things, and then I'll leave the buggers alone til the next election: 1) I've a new post on LC about education, immigration and The White Working Class. 2) Is the BNP racist? Oh yes it is. Bloggers, pls to link Matt's piece.

Old Crow from the archives

I think pretty much everything in my RMT piece from last summer still applies today. Note in particular: 1) Low turnout and non-spectacular majority indicating this is a Crow effort not grassroots; 2) Tories using the RMT's intransigence to lobby for (even) more draconian public sector anti-strike rules; 3) DLR, Thameslink, Overground are all working … Continue reading Old Crow from the archives

Bit of politics

Isn’t this just obvious to everyone?

Clive has a good piece up on CiF on the way that internationally, David Cameron is going to be perceived as the UK's George W Bush, both for his buffoonery and his disdain for international agreements. Being a CiF thread, the comments spiralled into Europhobic lunacy. However, responding to a silly-ish question there did give … Continue reading Isn’t this just obvious to everyone?

Nobody who gets anything wrong should ever be allowed to do anything again

Let's assume you're an excellent journalist (yes, I know for most bloggers this would be a bit of a heroic assumption, but never mind). You spend 15 years working your way up through various jobs until you're editor of a national title. You do the job very well. Then the chairman of the large media … Continue reading Nobody who gets anything wrong should ever be allowed to do anything again

Proud to be a Londoner

In London, the Greens came in ahead of the swivel-eyed loonies and the Nazis. Hurrah!
