Thanks to Megan. The Mail lays down yet another challenge to its shitting bumwank of competitively hardline morons.
Gordy makes a fuss about China but our own house is not in order, Met cops sacked useing drugs, i prison is too easy in UK ,too many top poeple got their fingers in the drug pie and eating the corruption cake.
silence is golden, DUDLEY UK
Not to mention the sly-backhander chocolate and the turning-a-blind-eye sticky toffee pudding.

Silence really is golden. So are blindness and muteness, but that’d just be asking too fucking much.
And you know what you can do with that chocolate eclair…
Interestingly enough, the worst-rated comment was:
OK – a bit idealistic but generally what we should aspire to.
I did lower myself to trawl through most of the article.
I was drawn to:
Lionised for their musical abilities maybe, but not for smoking crack.
I do not ever read the Mail on-line or otherwise but I do now see why the paper has earnt its reputation of being a bigot’s wank mag.
Until today I was also blissfully unaware of Leo McKinstry.
The man is a total cock.
“silence is golden”? really?
Nieman Marcus sell Chocolate Corruption Cake. Sigh, now I’m hungry.
Well of course Apple’s stylish approach to prison is going to seem a little cushy to some. Compressing prisoners and uploading them to iPrisons is the only way to solve the overcrowding!
Oops, wrong pseudonym!
Another Gem…
Years ago we had high street butchers and grocers etc all selling local produce, then councils started to allow big supermarkets to setup in town so the local shops closed, we now have a food distribution industry run by a monopoly of just 4 companies who don’t give a dam about anything other than maximising profit at the expense of every one but themselves & now we are being told we need to go back to the old ways by those in authority who allowed it to be destroyed for corporate greed.

all together now…..
WAAANNKKKEEERRRRR…..
Robert Worcester, you have wasted your life. All that effort put into working out sample errors and question biases and stuff, when all you needed to find out what public opinion is was go and ask a load of red-faced drunken cunts in an ex-pat pub.
Oh yes, a little slice of turpitude tiramisu for me please.
I did a straw poll in the pub last night, and most people preferred the disposable ones with pink stripes and a bendy bit.
Funnily enough I did a Straw poll too and 100% of people think he looks just like The Demon Headmaster.
I also took a Pole in the pub last night, roughly, in a cubicle and with much drunken swearing. We both agreed the Chinese set an excellent moral example.
In journalistic circles there was speculation for a long time that Leo McKinstry would push his tongue up his own mother’s arse for a tenner.

Why the Tories really hate Tesco
I know its not particulaly funny, I just thought spiked made a good point about the supermarkets actually being good for most people. Assuming you don’t give a fuck about other shops. But as most of the independent shops near me are owned by forins thats fine.
Say what you want about that Pete Doherty, but I’ll bet you could never cook up with his panache.
blockquote FAIL
Of course, it was much safer in the ’40′s, apart from the bombs and shit.
A straw poll of 1 person (me) was 100% in sympathy with the opinion that Harvestmoon is a shitty video game and anyone uses it as a pseudonym is equally shit.
Kev and Harvestmoon should team up. There could be a US crime drama starring them, as they solve crimes by asking drunken football fans and searching Wikipedia half-heartedly. Then they give up and just beat in the head of the first poor junkie they see.
How do you sack somebody with a drug? Is the P45 printed on paper laced with acid?
Yeah but their point about aristocratic landowners being the original liberal environmentalists is bobbins. As far as I can tell the point of environmentalism is to protect the environment, not keep it there to shoot at.
Why do they always focus on the negative aspects of heroin? With reasonable use, it produces a very enjoyable, euphoric rush. Besides, they would have cut it with Daz or Pro-Plus or something anyway. It would have become enough to kill 4 armies.
Harvest Moon was a shitty Neil Young album long before it was a shitty video game, y’know
And they say Doctors lack training these days.
It’s all about competition, or something. Survival of the fittest. Tesco and Sainsburys are the retail equivalent of a go-getting, resourceful, independent, right-wing, Indigenous Briton, full of get up (off my arse) and go (to work, for a decent wage). Those little independent shops are the left-wing, lazy, New Labour bludgers, wandering around doing fuck all, providing bad service at high prices and expecting everyone to owe them a living simply because they have a status.
Those independent shops need to fucking move on and move up, drop their prices and increase their CRM efficiencies. Then they’ll compete. THE WORLD DOESN’T OWE THEM A FUCKING LIVING.
Let me guess. It’s the opposite of the received wisdom in a smug, self-satisfied, Islingtonite, “don’t worry, be happy” sort of way?
funny peculiar, I Labour circles a few years ago there was speculation for a long time that it was Margaret Hodge’s arse that McKinstry would stick his tongue up. He was never much seen as a role model for the nation’s children when he was an Islington councillor.
I often move in agricultural circles. There’s also a lot of speculation about what arses Leo McKinistry would put his tongue up. You really don’t want to know.
@dirigible:
yes
I often move in agricutural circles too. How do you think crop circles are made?
@Phil arious
Actually thought that Neil young’s album was rather good. But Harvestmoon sounds like a Rabbit’s ragged rambunctious ring-piece.
The problem with Spiked is that it’s basically a vanity project for two of the biggest cunts in the cuntosphere – Brendan “Shitstain” O’Neill and Mick “Fucking Arsehole” Hume. The latter affects to characterise himself as a Marxist Libertarian, or a Trotskyist Anarchist, or some other nonce political suit, though not true enough to his principles to refuse the Murdoch shilling. O’Neill writes for the Tories’ wank mag of choice The Spectator. Nuff said.
Okay, so you get this really clever idea. A wonderfully witty Wildean gem..
… and then you take it just that little bit too far!
@Ceannair, old John French there, is only a sentence away from advocating the BNP in true HYS fashion, but I suspect with a name like French he really isn’t that welcome at the local Black Shirt meetings.
it always amazes me how many people so clearly anti-Labour and generally distrustful of the government and legal system are jonesing for the state (run by ‘liberals’) to have formalized power of life and death. But then logic probably isnt the strong suit here.
But there are people who will spend good money to protect the environment so that it remains available to be shot at.
As your financial adviser I recommend that you invest heavily in long spoons over the next Lustrum.
I was just having a giggle at all the anti Jonathan Ross comments. All very bitter and all very stupid. One stood out though:
ADRIAN FUCKING CHILES???????
Imagine: primetime Friday night slot…..Adrian Chiles interviewing Ronnie Corbett.
Wrists would be slit.
I think I have just popped my last bum grape of compassion.
The people who will spend good money to protect the environment so that it remains available to be shot at want to know my opinion on…
That sounds awfully smutty to me.
That’s far too reminiscent of the time Samantha set up a wild bird sanctuary. People came from miles around to see her woodcock, pullet and swallow…
I thought Samantha worked in a library with a wonky ladder and a septuagenarian librarian? There’s no electricity so when they clean the books they have to do it by candlelight. He holds the ladder, she climbs up to hand books down, and he blows the dust and wax off.
It always amazes me how many people who’ve clearly never been to America, or indeed anywhere outside of, say, Shoeburyness, Hull or Nick Griffin’s toasty warm arsecrack, are perfectly prepared to use the word “liberal” like it’s a dirty word. Which is odd to me, because from all my years of living in the UK, I’ve never heard anyone use the word liberal like it’s some kind of really nasty pornography. That’s almost definitely a US thing, almost definitely picked up from some kind of internet sewer and used without a thought as to its meaning.
I’m strongly leaning toward HYS being populated by Americans, feckless retirees on the scrapheap, BNP and Stormfront members and the resolutely stupid. How the fuck else do all the comments manage to appear in the middle of the day? They also tend to be pathalogical liars, eager to prove to the internet that their anonymous persona has more credentials on a particular matter than the other. This kind of e-bullshitting has become a poor substitute for an actual argument. Why bother to argue when you can just say that you have a PhD/served for 1,000 years in the SAS/had your balls exploded by a terrorist/had your boss force you to fight an immigrant in a one round, winner-takes-all naked jelly wrestling match for your job.
That there are any relative normal people on there is without doubt, because I rarely find anyone in the real life who thinks like they talk, and some normal people do turn up – it’s just that on HYS, compared to the above categories, they’re like rocking horse shit. Largely because normal people don’t think that valid reinforcement for their opinion comes from pressing a green arrow on a website, or that the entire Western world is composed of racists, idiots and friendless, drooling cabbages.
I think it’s because normal people who don’t have the intellectual capacity of a peanut either a) actually have jobs, or at least jobs that don’t let them spend all fucking day farting out opinions on the internet or b) have been there, know it’s populated by monkey farts and stay away.
I’ll never forgive Bill fucking Gates for making the internet easily accessible to everyone. What a twat.
“Pathological”. Spelling fail.
I remember seeing a post in a newsgroup in about 1995 saying that now AOL is getting connected to the internet proper, we must be welcoming and polite to this influx of new users, to demonstrate to them that The Internet is a place for calm, learned discourse and a haven for measured discussion.
As far as I can tell the strategy worked perfectly.
Can I just say that I’m not surprised at ‘silenceisgolden’s point of view, or their generally poor grasp of the English language.
I had to spend 5 days over Christmas in the disaster area that they call Dudley – I shit you not, the activity on what remains of the High St reminded me of scenes from Romero’s “Dawn of the Dead”. It was not pretty…
I remember a discussion about new people getting connected to the internet and the seeming spread of stupidity, and the general agreement that everyone should make it as difficult as possible to get everyone on the internet, and the help we should offer should not qualify as the dictionary definition of help.
I was working on the Blueyonder helpdesk at the time, which may explain a lot of things.
I’m recalling those dear, departed days when you had to explain to quite intelligent friends what “software” means, and they still didn’t really understand.
There’s no doubt that pretty well all of the pop-media internet blogs are idiot magnets; CIF is now little better than HYS; you know without looking beyond the look-at-me headline that there’s going to be a trail of entirely predictable shite-dribble…
nyahhhh…sausages..
That still happens but now the word is “download,” as in “How do I download songs onto my iPod?” “I want to download my photos onto the internet, how do I do that?” or “I accidentally looked at some kiddie porn, how do I download it off my computer again?”
All internet blogs, or anywhere that offers the facility for the average human being to enter an opinion, is an idiot magnet for the simple reason that the average human being is an idiot. If you fall upon that blessed place that has managed to keep the stupids at bay, enjoy it for as long as you can. Because the stupids follow the recommendation of the clevers, and sooner or later there will be enough of them to shout loudest and the clevers will bugger off in disgust and that’s how the stupids win. It happened to Something Awful, it happened to B3ta, and it will keep on happening wherever clevers do not keep the stupids from gaining a foothold. To nick a line from Boards of Canada; Defend your right to intelligent snark. No-one else will defend it for you.
I was going to say that you should go places they don’t understand, like Chris Dillow’s blog, or The Economist.
But then I remembered that comprehension is never a barrier, and I made myself all sad.
And we all end up in our own little bunkers, in our own blogs where we can either delete shitcocks or turn the blah filter on if we get bombarded. It’s a shame, but if that’s the price for intelligent conversation, so be it.
I thought (Shine On) Harvey Moon was a shit retro sitcom from the early 80s.
That’s fucking Apple for you, always rushing their latest creations out before they’ve properly ironed out all the glitches.
No, don’t worry, I’ve not even unbuttoned it yet, but if you could just pass me my scarf… cheers.
You’ve obviously not looked at the comments on The Economist. Yes, the global warming deniers are there.
Yeah, and so are the kill the bankers lot. But if you look carefully, you’ll see that they don’t actually read the articles, they just trot out the same standard responses. That’s what I meant by comprehension not being a barrier to them.
For example, this article is a pretty reasonable analysis of why money is the key to Copenhagen and any deal, not realistic cuts in emissions.
And one of the most recommended comments?
I swear to God an email went round and they’re just fucking ctrl-c’ing this shit everywhere.
The Socialism? This some new spotty indie band? I really must do more to keep up with the Kids.
I don’t know. I’ve mixed with people from all walks of life over the years and haven’t noticed the concentration of sheer, purest-ray-serene, twattery that you get in those blogs. That’s why I said `idiot-magnet’, `cause it’s like that school science experiment where you pull iron filings out of a mix of sand and said filings with a magnet..
They’re a green-inkers’ platform.
@That Bloke – you need to get hep to the groove, Daddio!
You make it sound like a bad idea.
@ Bit Spesh, I would get hep, but when Andy Williams is soooo good, I don’t find the need to listen to anything else.
I fear this is a Palinism. That’s how she mangles the English language there.
Is a green-inker some kind of amphibian? It sounds hawt.
Ed aka Ghost of Cuger-Jaggar, PhD you troll! I can’t resist the bait.
fucking cock-blocks!
“In journalism, Green Ink is supposedly a major identifying characteristic of written correspondence from self-aggrandising pedants, cranks, charlatans and eccentrics.
Although no psychiatric equivalence with the preceding terms should be inferred, it also refers to unusable correspondence originating from readers who are mentally ill.”
Bollocks — new par quote-mark fail..
..plus, of course, they have keyboards instead of spiral-bound notebooks and crayons, and spell-checkers if they know how to use them, and they don’t even need to buy stamps or leave their foetid little bedrooms..
Thanks, Baron/ess Greenink. If any more of my weak puns about animals’ arses don’t quite work, you’ll be sure to consult wikipedia for me, won’t you?
That would severely curtail my employment opportunities.
no you’re not, DanSG. you’re posting inanities on the economist website, you retarded little prick.
