Things Noticeable this week

[Greenman]

Can I just point out that for some reason the iPad and iPad mini laugh icons don't seem to be recognised here and that would explain why there are two question marks instead of a after my Tom Cruise line. I used the colon and capital D this time.

In some cases it's pointless, seriously. Where I live there's almost no daylight in winter, and almost no night in summer

Russia abolished it completely a couple of years ago. Good decision!

Where I live there's no sunshine all year long.

Did no one teach you how to open the curtains?

The case will fade as usual since the underlying system seems to be rotten and corrupt to the core. Simply unreformable. I guess, for this reason, there will be many more such and similar headlines in the future. You can bet the false teeth of your old granny on it.

Really, really sad.

Luton will be the next one exposed. What goes on in this country under the pretext of cultural harmony is a fucking disgrace. The sooner the politicians and those senior police offficers realize that, the sooner this country can go on it's way becoming a country of harmony.

Should you be the leader of (what much of the media describes as something like an) extreme, far-right neo-Nazi organisation and attempt to bring certain information to the public's attention about the very unpleasant activities of certain individuals, you will be arrested and eventually end up in court. Then, you will be found guilty of religious abuse and upsetting a few people by mentioning what appears to be factual information. Naturally you will be banged up for a bit as HMG doesn't want any minorities with strange cultural ideas upset.

This is not to suggest that I support any right wing groups in the UK as even the pretty moderate ones seem to have a hint of the BNP about them, but it does make me think that freedom of speech is a total myth.

Also because of this:

BAE gave £43 billion in military hardware to Saudi Arabia and in return the UK received 600,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
