Tuesday rant time
Snow bloody snowIts official, the world is coming to an end and we are all going to die here. In a day when the main news story was whether or not we should give the right to vote and partake in political activities to 16 year olds (why? Would anyone actually care!?!), an advert in a sunday newspaper showed a woman in a surgical mask thing. It was for some company that makes these things. The tag line was "Provides Varying levels of protection against flus, like avian"So in other words what you are saying isIt might work, it might notFucking great. Lets panic people with the possibility that we are all going to catch this and die, then offer a possible solution that looks like it will help but wont. AND PEOPLE FALL FOR THIS TIME AN TIME AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!Britian has its fair share of thick people but this was in a quality (their term) sunday paper.Educational reforms, banning smoking and now emergency measures to stop terrorism......but dont worry you might die before any of this happens, so let us do whatever we want and when the panic has passed, we will be so far down the road to totalitarianism (is that a word??- fuck it)that you cant stop us. Smile for the politicians honey, they might kill us if we dont.The "Whoops Apocolypse" movie maybe wasnt that far off the mark."I know what causes unemployment. It's goblins, not the pink fluffy ones, the horrible green ones"I sometimes wish I didnt live here, then I think it's getting this bizarre everywhere now!!
