Durdensview commented on this story over 2 weeks ago http://durdensview.blogspot.com/2010/03/pope-benedict-xvi.html, now the mainstream press are picking up on it.
This from today’s times newspaper. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article7075237.ece
I reiterate my call for the Pope to stand down.
Cue fanfare of trumpets for yet another “arms reduction treaty” between the US and Russia, it looks and sounds pretty impressive but when you get down to the detail both sides will still have around 1500 nuclear missiles each.
Obama and Medvedev are fooling no-one this is just cosmetic, nothing of substance is happening.
Clowns like these two have been signing "nuclear arms reduction treaties" for the last 30 years and yet both still "upgrade" their arsenals and both still possess enough weapons to reduce the earth to a smouldering cinder many times over.
The signing is due to take place in Prague within the next four weeks, The choice of Prague is symbolic as it was the venue for Mr Obama’s speech last year in which he outlined his ambition for “a world without nuclear weapons”.
At this rate of reduction we should be Nuclear free in about a hundred and twenty years, way to go Obama.
Serial Junkie Pete Docherty has been arrested on suspicion of supplying the drugs that killed 27 year old heiress Robin Whitehead, Docherty attended the police station by APPOINTMENT, why on earth did the police make an appointment for him why wasn’t he arrested at a time of the police’s choosing like all other dealers are.
I really am sick of the preferential treatment celebrity’s get, if you can in fact call Docherty a celebrity in the truest sense, this loser is not famous for his talent but for being the Junkie ex boyfriend of Kate Moss, that and numerous arrests for use and possession of heroin.
In each of his arrests amazingly he always get bail and another chance, in the past he has served jail time, and pleaded guilty many times to possession of crack cocaine heroin, and ketamine, (the horse tranquilizer) he has also by his own admission worked as a rent boy, this included him robbing his clients as well.
This self destructive behaviour is typical of a addict and I couldn’t care less about Docherty but now his actions have taken the life of a 27 year old girl, it doesn’t matter to me that the girl used drugs anyway, if Docherty hadn’t have supplied her with drugs that day she may well be alive today.
So its time to stop pussyfooting around with this waste of space and hammer him with the full force of the law, murder wont stick but manslaughter might, lets lock him up and throw away the key.
What a fantastic result last night for Fulham beating Juventus 4-1, I wouldn’t normally take much interest in this mickey mouse competition, but I am hugely impressed with that score line, though they are not the up to the standard of years gone by Juventus team’s this was still Juventus, so for them to be humbled at unfashionable Craven Cottage like that earns my respect.
I must admit to being in the “anyone but Liverpool camp” because of that loser Benitez, but now I am firmly in the Fulham camp for the duration of this competition.
Roy Hodgson has done a fantastic job with that squad, and I would admire them further but for their unfortunate nickname “The Cottagers” sadly that brings disturbing images to the mind.
The Iranian Government has been accused by Afghan and Western officials of delivering tonnes of weaponry to the Taleban, including plastic explosives, mortars, grenades and technical manuals.
Weapons and documents shown to Channel 4 News indicate that more than ten tonnes of weapons have been intercepted at Iran’s desert border with Afghanistan in the past year, with a tonne and a half recovered in the past week.
HOW is this a surprise to anyone, that it only now makes the news, the mind boggles.
The Government’s official drug advisers will recommend later this month that the “legal high” mephedrone should be banned because of the potential serious risks to public health.
Typical knee jerk reaction from the Government, do they really believe making it illegal will stop people using it?.
Lets look at the evidence, Cocaine Heroin Crack Cannabis etc etc all illegal, yet freely available and more popular than ever, so banning this “drug” which is in fact a plant food will make no difference.
This answer if there is one lies in education, teaching kids the dangers of drugs, one way is showing hard hitting anti drug films in schools, there is a company the Government use for their no drinking no smoking campaigns that turn out the most brilliantly terrifying adverts against drink driving and smoking.
Showing the effects on the mind from using these so called legal highs will shock many into not going near them, the after effects can be pretty terrifying, like the footage I saw yesterday of a 14 year old boy going through various stages of terror and paranoia, followed by aggression shown on sky news, if I had any intention of trying this drug, and I don’t,this would have been enough to deter me.
So forget about gimmicks Gordon we know there is an election coming up, you are not fooling anybody, lets get educating our youngsters to the dangers now.
Who would have thought it, Sony have cancelled their contract with Jedward after just one album, I find this astonishing the twins John and Edward cant sing cant dance, and they look bloody ridiculous with their bouffant style quiffs, you would have thought they were nailed on to be a success, (refer to Spice girls and Sugababes).
More pertinently, why were they given a contract in the first place. I have just seen their collaboration with Vanilla ice, and cringed so much I actually aged a couple of years whilst watching it.
The British public usually so discerning completely lose the plot with these so called talents shows, it only takes a Simon or Louis to declare that “they are brilliant” and people lap it up, like sheep they blindly follow, what happened to making your own mind up.
Perhaps I could be a judge on the next show I spotted they were crap immediately.
