Just one of the mock headlines from the Dialy Mash which once again rings so true:


Resumption of credit-based fantasy land edges ever closer


"Those who learn from their mistakes are doomed to drive the same car for three years and watch a slightly smaller television," says economist

While this is significant it's hardly suprising and more or less inevitable result of globalisation following the end of the bipolar cold war and American hegemony, ironically sped up by the enourmously costly endeavours of te Bush administration aimed at maintaining it.


But its not that significant.


I like Fisk because he's a total nutter and winds people up the wrong way, but you always have to factor his agenda and enormous ego when Reading anything he writes.


What does crack me up is the nutters his stories inevitably attract in the comments. It actually negates he need for the Private Eye 'From the Message Boards' as they couldnt hope to parody this.


Depressingly awful comic genius.

Care of the elderly is not usually on my radar (I'm in personal denial) but the news of the couple who died in their freezing home this week brought a tear to my eye. What a nightmarish way to live your final days. Whichever of them was the last to go (it is though that this was the wife) would have faced certain death alone with the corpse of her dead husband by her side. I can't stop thinking about that. It's just too awful. Anyway, this is interesting reading.

That is a horrible story, it kind of makes you wish to "hope I die before I get old", as Townsend once said. Trouble is I'm more or less there already. A sad indictment of the way we care (or more appropriately don't care) for our elderly. God help us all.

    • bizarre responses from everyone but Cancerian 🤷🏾‍♀️ As an LL resident surely a perfectly normal enquiry in that one might wish to know who to look out for if lawless/feral kids are wreaking havoc? any distinguishing marks on the perpetrators? presumably the objection is that a physical description might reveal the alleged culprits as non-white? (nothing else makes sense with this bourgeois over-sensitivity). same botched thinking that causes police descriptions of suspects on the loose to omit this info  (top way to protect the public / solve the crime) FYI i'm a mixed-race female and interested in THE TRUTH. hence, i want to protect myself & my family against criminals. so please DESCRIBE the physical appearance of criminals or suspected criminals to help to keep us safe. thankyou.  "underlying agenda... strange" 😂😂😂 strange agenda to wish to be safe in my community. well played 🤯   working the nightshift here & getting mildly obsessed/infuriated with the peculiar responses. someone please explain how wishing to be able to attempt to identify, physically, the perpetrator(s) of an alleged local assault is "strange", with an "agenda"? God help us. (wait... "God"? must be a far-right religious maniac) "Unless there were distinctive features such as unusual clothing, how is that going to identify them"... green & purple mohican with accompanying buffalo 🦬 horns through the nose might do it; or simply hairstyle, skin colour, sartorial outfit... 🤔 "and even if it did, what would be the point, without photographic evidence that they had done anything wrong?" eyewitness reports? 😏    
    • Unless they were wearing school uniform with name tags otherwise children do change their clothes you know. 
    • I'd also recommend Silvano for anyone in the area looking to learn automatic, having just passed first time with 5 minors. He's a very patient teacher and ensured I learned how to drive safely above all. 
    • You don't need to do the research. I had to know the numbers as a TV buyer. I analysed the potential advertising revenue and Channel Four didn't cover their costs. They had some nice 'Channel Four' signs when someone hit the ropes but, In all honesty, a lot a potential revenue was lost because most old knackers were pissed off because they couldn't perve at Carol Vorderman on 'Countdown'.       Sorry, cross-post. I was replying to Malumbu. Give me a minute, if you will. I listened to the first two sessions (today) on TMS and popped down to the pub for the evening one.   I do miss the days of Peter West, Richie Benaud and Tom Graveney on BBC2.   But, the BBC are at least putting on 'Today At The Test' on at around 7pm instead of after midnight.   And it was on the 10pm news.
