Do they really think we're that daft?...erm...yeah

The recent inflamatory comments by the stooge Iranian president (a position akin to Home Secretary in our parlance) were only made known to the Iranians en masse on Saturday. Kinda puts the kybosh on it being anything other than the usual Arab bluster to the converted. Impotent, infantile rabble-rousing to be sure, but definitely not an official state declaration of intent.

And since when did Islamic fundamentalist rantings about the desirability of Israel's and the west's annihilation become front page news? What about that whole burning-stars-and-stripes public holiday they announce whenever Kalashnikov sales dip?

Sure, it's unacceptable, sure they're a bunch of utter wanks, but the fervour that Blair picked this up and ran with it (Bush's silence is deafening, the sure sign of this being a co-ordinated campaign) means one thing:

We're being primed for another war.

Don't worry, kids. Knob jokes and swear words to follow...

Robbie Fucking Williams - Observer interview

From The Observer


'The country's most extravagant entertainer is back, wowing fans at his shows and gadding around London with celebrity friends like David Walliams. But beyond the razzmatazz - as he tells Paul Flynn in an exclusive interview - the real Robbie Williams remains a mixed-up boy from Stoke-on-Trent who has never known love'


Awesomely bad. Like a trendy vicar, the Guardian/Observer flails about on the floor, all rictus grin and elbows. As in the following:

'Is what you do still pop music?...Why? Because the pop industry discourages personality - living in fear of scaring its audience, it produces characterless people, like Rachel Stevens?'


Oh yeah. Rachel Stevens is bad. Robbie Williams is good. Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah sure.

And remember this isn't the poison dwarf saying this, it's the journalist. Then it gets funnier:

'It is (sic) would be easy not to look (sic) beyond the vaudeville aspect of Robbie Williams, the high-octane showman, and there seems little doubt that his reign will continue.'


Williams's whole problem (and yeah, I'll sort out your angst for you now, Rob - it's dead easy) is that he knows how shit he is. As soon as he gets the balls to pull the fucking trigger and end our collective misery, the better.
