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.

    Interestingly enough, the worst-rated comment was:

    Life is sacred and no one has the right to take any life under any circumstances – ever!!!. This is what prison is for, to reform and teach.
    - Matt Sullivan, Ashford, Kent, 29/12/2009

    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:

    Similarly, drug-addled singers Amy Winehouse and George Michael have been lionised by the music establishment.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    An excellent article. The Government are so far out of step with public opinion it is incredible. A straw poll in my local last night (at half time in the football) of 14 people was 100% in sympathy with the Chinese.

    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 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.

    This chaps medical disorder, from all the medical studies I have researched in the last 24 hours, would not have made him the gullible baffoon he is being made out to be.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  32. on 07 Jan 2010 at 4:24 pm Ceannair

    Okay, so you get this really clever idea. A wonderfully witty Wildean gem..

    Yes, Labour stinks. Yes, we really can’t go on like this. But real change will only be affected if people vote for an alternative to the Lib/Lab/ConTrick Party. That way we will get a hung parliament, and the decent members of the Lib/Lab/ConTrick party (there must be a couple) can say what they really think. Anyone voting for the Lib/Lab/ConTricksters needs to face facts: whoever gets in, the “change” you are after will be cosmetic. Real change means booting out the Lib/Lab/ConTrick Party.

    As far as I can tell the point of environmentalism is to protect the environment, not keep it there to shoot at.

    But there are people who will spend good money to protect the environment so that it remains available to be shot at.

    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 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.

    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?”

    There’s no doubt that pretty well all of the pop-media internet blogs are idiot magnets

    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.
