Some brief words on the BNP.

First of all while I do not agree with the likes of Peter Hain on the banning of the BNP from television I can completely understand his position. Watching Nick Griffin on the panel of QT was painful and hilarious, and perhaps he should have the right to lie gratuitously, but I can understand why people who have consistently campaigned against racism are upset at seeing him on telly spouting this crap. After all I'd imagine anti-racist campaigners who started out in the sixties (like Mr Hain) would have thought that they would have got a bit further by now. Apologies we haven't Peter, there are still a lot of overt and covert racists in this country, I support your aim and to a certain extent methods, but Griffin is the wrong target, for a simple reason, him and his followers are fucking idiots.

Ad Campaign?!

Call Me a fucking Advertising genius, not don't call me that as then I'd then I'd be on my own deathlist, but surely it's a great idea to run this early eighties tune over a collection of facts about Cameron, his policies, what cuts would mean what and he and his coterie and what they've done in the past. It's even got the phrase 'Time to Change' in it. The tune? Bucks Fizz - Make Believe. Perhaps a series involving Making your Mind Up? I'm sure Cheryl Baker would approve.

Three Lions on a shirt...

It has become a common view, perhaps in my mind that we're third to fifth favourites to wn the World Cup but it has occurred to me how much due to the skyification (I'm looking at you Mr Redknapp) how much we underrate the 96 team we had, any team that can rightly overlook Chris Waddle, David Hirst and Des Walker (declared interest I'm a Wednesdayite) is a great side. Many people bum Venables but look what he had to pick from? Chris Sutton? Not a look in, Dalian Atkinson? Go Fuck yourself, Julian Joachim? Great pace but don't make me laugh. Great fringe players at the time: Lee Dixon (better than G Johnson) Keown, Pallister, Bruce, Lee sharpe, Trevor Sinclair, Winterburn Campbell Ince Scholes G Hyde Barmby, Anderton, Parlour, Collymore, Fowler, Cole, Beardsley, Darren Eadie, Jeremy Goss, Andy sinton, Ruel Fox, Steve Bould, Ian Wright, Steve Clarke, David Howells could barely get in the Euro 96 side. Before we say we're up here, please bear in mind the quality that has failed to even fail on behalf of England. If we do win let's not salute the hero's without acknowledging the Gods of a poorer realm that came before.

I Think I'm In Love With Victoria Coren

Upon viewing her byline picture or an image in a long forgotten profile one cannot forget that beautiful smirk, that expression that tells you that it wouldn't just be beneath her intellect and compassion to put you down (even though you're someone who reads newspapers on a Sunday on the internet.) but that she just wouldn't be all that bothered, she's the sort of woman who'd charm the violent stalking type into baking fairy cakes. Having hardly ever seen her moving, let alone in three dimensions, it was interesting to watch C. Brookers channel 4 show, (which is rubbish for him but which i can't help thinking is charity towards TV) she is as undeniably exquisite as i could imagine, making even the gorgeously infectiously funny Josie Long seem like a Gorgon to her Penelope. Before you take out a restraining order Ms Coren, please just keep being wonderful. (PS a bit of that 500,000 would really come in handy.)

I would never describe myself as a harmanista, I think she's incompetent slightly rubbish and even those policies that anyone can see aim to solve genuine problems are about as well managed as most of us manage to attack wasps in pub gardens. I mean honestly how can anyone be ridiculed for trying to stop rape? However amongst the nonsense there is a genuine desire and vocation to achieve something, women have a crap bloody deal in our society and it's not really acceptable, however unartful imposition and positive discrimination only ever engenders resentment. I do agree that there is a role for government in legislating, but please leave us our freedom to be rubbish ourselves and for God's sake if you cared more about feminism or Labour values than your own role in it then please fuck off
