Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three.

These guys rocked the Luminaire, Kilburn last night. They washed the rainy night blues away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOzmOZQdcYY&feature=related

Back From Me Hols!

Now I am back from lounging around on a beach I can get back to filling time with pointless blogging, like this.

Those Indian people, they are soooo nice and foreign too.

Dear Mr David Cameron,
What the fuck do you think you were doing? How can publicly accusing the Pakistani State of “looking both ways on terrorism” do anything other than; cheer up racists, annoy every Pakistani that isn’t a Jihadist and make the lives of Pakistani politicians, that are trying to work to stop terrorism, much more difficult? Oh I know, you thought by saying such things would make India our friends and help us make lots and lots of money. After all from where you stand, Indians are nice simple little people who still love us, even though we really fucked them over for years. If you say a few things against nasty Pakistan they will just want to make us rich all over again, won’t they?

To be honest I am not surprised at your simple view of world politics and your peanut brained attempts of diplomacy. Your “new” era politics is a joke. This is the big boot bullshit that Thatcher peddled. Talk tough to impress idiots at home. Treat every problem as Daily Mail simple. Treat every race or group as a one dimensional sheep. Finally, sum it all up nicely in a lovely a sound bite.

In our rolling news culture that is all we can deal with. Multifaceted problems with huge grey areas are much too difficult to unpick and try to solve. Such problems do not fall either side of your or any party lines and therefore are bad for votes. So beat your chest, wave a big stick about and impress the morons. You'll be fine and will be making millions on a World speaking tour in a few years time, so what the fuck?

There was no need to say what you said publicly. That should’ve been between you and Pakistan. Alienating one country to “curry favour” (not my pun but I just found myself using it, sorry) with another is the behaviour of a naïve idiot. Does someone have to spell out where it will lead? You can't be that stupid can you? But hey, in answer to the question "what do you think you were doing?" You were shoring up your votes, by pandering to the thinly veiled racism that runs through this country by treating the Indians as tame pets and the Pakistanis as duplicitous, mad mullahs. Don't worry it doesn't matter, hardly anyone noticed and you may have made some some lovely wonga for good old blighty while you did it!

I have depressed myself now – I am off for a coffee.
