Outsiders and Self-appointed Sages and Tax Bores13 Jan 2010 11:23 am
By Alex

Thanks to Nikki. Martin from Ashford has some novel answers to all a child’s difficult questions.

11. What happens when we die? A The Labour government takes all your money
12. What is a prime number? A Any number the Prime Minister thinks of to lie about the debt
13. Is god real? A No, because if SHE were, Hattie Harman would be a good driver
14. What makes thunder? A Normally Gordon Brown throwing a printer across the office
15. Why do you blink? A Because it’s hard to believe Gordon Brown is still in a job
16. Where do babies come from? A Cheap lager + a free house + benefits = baby
17. How do planes fly in the sky? A Al Qaeda keep asking the same question
18. What is time? A What we do when we’re not flogging our guts out to pay Gordon Brown’s taxes
19. How does Father Christmas get down the chimney? A there’s no such person, just a skinny kid thieving your DVD player
20. Where does water come from? A According to the BBC from global warming.

Martin, Ashford

It looks like the idea is that, instead of actually thinking and giving useful information, you just make up a bunch of incoherent wank based on your own half-baked opinions and the very little you actually know about anything at all. I felt like helping so I’ve done the same with questions one to ten.

1. How is electricity made? A Martin from Ashford just had a accident.
2. What are black holes? A Martin from Ashford just had a accident.
3. What is infinity? A Martin from Ashford just had a accident.
4. Why is the sky blue? A Martin from Ashford just had a accident.
5. Why do we have a leap year? A Martin from Ashford just had a accident.
6. How do birds fly? A Martin from Ashford just had a accident.
7. Why do onions make you cry? A Martin from Ashford just had a accident.
8. Where does wind come from? A Martin from Ashford just had a accident.
9. Why is the sea salty? A Martin from Ashford just had a accident.
10. How big is the world? A Quite big. Martin from Ashford just had a accident.

    The man has a NuLiabore obsession. Why is it that these twatbaskets complain so much about the government but never do anything about it, like stand for election themselves, sorry,I am forgetting, these people are so socially inept that they believe ranting at their computer screen actually makes a difference and that the BBC are listening to them.Still, they are entertaining in a Victorian sideshow type of way.

    Anybody who said “you’re channeling the Dail Heil and are therefore have a penis the size of an underendowed gorilla” could be countered with “It’s on a blog, so it’s proper Science. With Facts and Everything, so it’s True.”

    You might be being unfair to Martin from Ashford. He might have a genuine Daily Heil-informed animist worldview, and be unable to conceive that the Prime Minister doesn’t control the weather like some sort of doughy Scottish Jupiter.
    Their trickster god wears a hoodie, and convinces forrins to steal our pensions.

    I’ve thought about this too much.

    Nah – I didn’t see one reference to “turds”, “beeboids”, derogatory references to gay people or any latent homosexuality in that post. Unless, of course, he got those out of the way in the first part of a two part post, and the Heil’s mods rejected it.

    If the answer to “Why do you blink?” was “Because I’m a faggy beeboid who’s just taken a snort of coke after sucking on some Muzzie cock”, then I’d believe it was the same Martin. As it stands, “Martin from Ashford” is Oscar Wilde compared with Biased BBC’s “Martin from Psychiatric Outpatient”.

    I’m trying to imagine =Dennis Junior=’s answers to these questions. Perhaps it would be something like this:

    13. Is god real? [He or She may or may not be real, since I have not met Him or Her, I cannot make an informed decision]

    I imagine him giving these answers in a refreshingly quiet, almost meek tone of voice, a refreshing change to the sneering/shouting you usually hear

    It must be painful to keep up this level of frantic, conspiracy-level style ranting. Surely he’s close to busting a vein if he maintains this level of anger.

    And seeing as though most of the human body is comprised of water, according to his logic, humans=global warming.
    Which is kind of an unintentional metaphor.

    My Geography teacher always said water came from the sea or the atmosphere or some shit. But what does she know? I wasn’t listening anyway.

    It’s worth checking out the other respondents as well. Quite aside from the depressing story itself about how 70% of adults who have had children don’t know how electricity is generated, we have a man claiming that bids stay in their air because they beat their wings downwards and “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction”, and another answering the question “How big is the world?” with “Because God made it”.

  40. on 13 Jan 2010 at 6:01 pm Alex

    The Daily Mail is pitched at the market segment largely consisting of lower-middle class right-wing women who feel that their second-class honours degrees and two or three years corporate service prior to entering the marriage/childbirth/divorce cycle entitles them to sit on their fat arses watching telly their whole lives and berating those who draw much lower benefits from the state instead of from ex-husbands.

    They deserve the humourless unsophisticated company of Martin, Ashford, and I’m sure they’d charge him more than a cheap lager for a shag. More like his house, car, and 50% of his income, if he actually possesses such things.

    NHS job advertisements for non-executive director positions usually say that applications are “particulalry welcome from women and members of ethnic minorities”

    Does this mean they are not particularly welcome from white men? If it doesn’t, and applications are welcome from everyone, what was the point of putting that wording on the advertisement?

    Even if it doesn’t mean white men are not welcome, it makes them feel like unwelcome before they even apply…

Remember we said that it is the one friend that is closest to you, who you regard with affection and trust? So, today we are going to tell each other a bit more about our best friends. Janet, we will start with you.

    My best friend comes from a ethnic minority and is better off, better housed and better looked after then me. I truly believe that there is more discrimination against the white majority which will soon be the white minority at the way things are going in this country. All my best friends children have University degrees, but only one of mine does, and although my children earn decent wages, none of them earn as much as my friends, all on over £100,000 a year. My answer is NO.

    Okay Janet, who didn’t have her listening ears on when teacher explained ‘friend’,'closest’, ‘affection’, ‘trust’, ‘envy’, ‘discontent’ and ‘resentment’? And your mum took you out of school for Diversity Week, didn’t she? What ARE we going to do with you?

    Admit it, your friends kids are just more intelligent than yours, and the 1 that does have a degree does not take after his/her fucktarded mother.

    Creative writing from what passes for the BNP’s propaganda dept., of course (some paunchy, middle-aged skinhead painstakingly stabbing nicotine-stained fingers at a grimy keyboard)..

    Janet Shaw will no doubt be happy to find out that her rantings on HYS are now informing government policy

    @AndyS

    are there many complaint logs moaning that the bbc are giving snowfall in forrun centimetres rather than good old ENGLISH (Not British) feet and inches?

    There was a letter in today’s Western Morning News complaining about the Beeb giving temperatures in this new-fangled European Celsius rather than good old English(!) Fahrenheit.

    What Janet Shaw says rings true. In fact it’s obvious once you open your eyes. Just look at Chris Eubank lording it over everyone with his monacle and johdpurs. My son loves a good tear-up but struggles to even buy his own drinks.
