British Media

What the hell is going on in the British media? We have so called reality shows coming out of every channel and cooks on every channel. For heavens sake tv companies get a bloody life!!! I can cook and I am not ‘famous’. What a con life is via our media. We have people, mainly women, who simply cannot exist without their daily injection of Coronation Street or Emmerdale or some other bloody soap. They drool over something called Talent or X Factor. They discuss on buses that some girl is cheating on some feller in some soap!! WHO GIVES A SHIT?

I strongly suspect that suicide hotlines would become burnt out of someone was brave enough to call a halt to this total trivia. People have such a weak tenuous grip on life they have to reply on make believe to get through the day.

I am proud to state that I have never ever seen a soap, watched a so called talent show or watched some bird in bed with a feller LIVE on tv during the ‘silent hours’. The newspapers are just as bad and its pathetic. A girl from a soap has a drug problem and its on the front page but the death of a fine young man in Afghanistan is on page FIVE. Pathetic! I hope the girl from the soap with the drug problem dies, horribly. Serves her right. Oh whilst you’re at it, also the editor who put that crap on the front page too.

Finally, just an observation, why do people clap themselves on quiz shows? Weird init?

The Day Football Died

Sunday 13th May 2012 is the day that football died. The day when it ceased to be a sport but a business and money wins trophies not tactics, not managers, not teams. The day when scum like Ballotelli and Tevez can win something, when their tantrums and dummy throwing was put to one side, for now.

It was the day that, after 50+ years, my affiliation with a football club ceased, and I removed all mention of them from my web site and cancelled my subs to a tv channel. I am no longer holding any interest in the game. RIP soccer, goodbye football, goodbye loyalties, forever.

The best TEAM in England, according to statistics, finished second in the English Premiership. But second to what? To a supermarket side, NOT team. Second to a club that wallowed in total obscurity for decades, middle of table at best, relegation fodder the rest, or indeed, actually relegated. They have WON nothing, the have BOUGHT a title. A title they do not deserve and have not earned.

I have had it with the game ……………………………….

UK ‘PC’ Police doing a Grand Job – NOT!

Greater Drugchester Police Farce Assistant Chief Constabull(shit) Steve Heywood acknowledged that officers could have dealt with the case “better than we did”. But he denied that the girl’s complaints had been “brushed under the carpet” because officers were reluctant to confront the issue of race.”At the time we did what we thought was best,” he said. “We have learned a lot of lessons. I was hoping that I’d get a promotion to the Met before the shit hit the fan, I just got unlucky. The issue here is genuinely about my pension rights. It just happens that they are Asian men. I’m sure it was just a co-incidence. In the same way it just happens that all the victims are little girls. Just another co-incidence. In no way did we sweep it under the carpet, we just ignored it totally.”

Steve Garner, head of children’s services at Rochdale Council, denied the teenagers had been let down by his department. “No,” he said. “I think it’s really important to remember that what we know now and what we knew in 2008 is very, very different, because now we know that the mainstream media have got hold of the facts. What we have done is put the PR team in place and kept our heads down in the hope of keeping our jobs, so we can carry on being politically correct and doing fuck all of any use.”

Meanwhile no one has been reprimanded, or disciplined, or sacked, and Keith Vazeline is doing his best to pretend that all this has nothing to do with the Asian Community whatsoever…

Are we so blind that we cannot see the crap being spewed down the political toilet daily by Labour politicians every time they open their mouth. We can get you out of this mess! Time to make time to correct errors made by this government!! WHO did all this in the first place? Who robbed the pensions? Who sold all our gold reserves at rock bottom price? Who sold us out on the Human Rights Euro bill? Who signed the Lisbon Treaty without consulting the people? BLOODY LABOUR!! Dictatorship on a so called democratic stage!! Gordon Brown and Tony B Liar have raped England of everything she had and held dear. LABOUR is 100% to blame and nobody says boo!!

Football – There Was Once!

by mike on May 7th, 2012 at 20:43
Posted In: Sport

Remember when football was a sport played by millions, watched by millions but didn’t cost millions? I do. I have been a Manchester United fan since the days of the Busby Babes, the late 50s to be exact. I have been through hell and high water following my team. At the top, at the bottom, in between, all over, they were MY team. I would hitch around the country with only the cost of admission in my pocket, in all weathers, sometimes to find a game called off! I have stood in the pouring rain on the Stretford End watching a mediocre performance and getting beat. But over the past decade I have become more and more disillusioned by the whole damn thing.

When United began this remarkable run of success back in the early 90s it was with a nucleus of home grown youth that took on the world and beat them all. When they bought a player it was to supplement an already successful team, not to replace it. Youth too had still managed to force its way into the team along the way. And with the likes of Arsenal chipping at our heels the motivation was always in place, it was never a one horse race, but now?

You can go to Tesco or another supermarket and almost buy a complete team off the shelf and win with it, its called big money, big business. First of all Blackburn, they had a chairman who had millions to spend and he did, he started paying players salaries way beyond their ability. But this attracted the greedy, the so called big star who came not for the honour of the team but the fatness of their wallet. This beat United to the title once, but never regained that impetus and soon fell down the rankings, the Chairman left then the big players left to wallets anew.

Then we had a Russian mafiosi take over Chelsea, or Chelski as they became known. He too had billions he could not spend quick enough and bought whole teams in order to challenge the likes of Arsenal and United, Liverpool and others. They won the title two years in a row with players who also came for mega salaries to play but only for money offered, salaries again went way beyond their abilities.

Now, here were are in 2012, at the end of a long hard season, with Manchester City being the latest to buy success. Two years ago they were cannon fodder, going nowhere fast. Then some arab with oil money dripping out of his dress, bought the club and bought whole teams. They are now on the verge of buying their first title in 44 years, with players of dubious integrity like Tevez and Ballotelli who are brats of major proportions. Tevez ran away like a spoiled child crying to his mommy that they wouldn’t sell him to someone offering EVEN MORE! And Ballotelli, brought at major expense from tantrum Italia to tantrum Manchester. These two will be members of a title buying team (I refuse to say they won anything!). What is UK football coming too? Manchester City’s manager has not had to work to build a team, to watch them grow and mature. He wakes up in the morning, picks eleven players and then dozes off for another couple of hours.

Meanwhile, United are rapidly becoming the second best, clubs with oceans of oil money are going to pass them like speedboats, leaving them in their wake. But I no longer have the fire and commitment that I have had all my life. When Manchester city buy the title, I am quitting all interest in football, totally and irrevocably. The sport I have followed through my life is gone. The fan of today does not care where success comes from, or how much it costs, or the £50-£90 they pay to watch their favourite team of wallets. They have not had the pleasure of standing on the Stretford End, the Kop, Eland Road or Highbury, watching their players slog through the mud and heavy rain for a relative pittance to fight and win honour for themselves and their club. Now they are on manicured pitches, with manicured nails and manicured hairstyles, they have the very best of medicare, spend all night in nightclubs and are spoiled rotten by the illusion of greatness (only because of the media). They drive cars which have wheels that cost more than my car. They are above life, they are not of the real world, they do not know what it is like to be ‘hard up’, to get a bus to the game, carrying boots in a brown paper bag. Bye bye football, I see your death on the horizon ……………………………………
