Election Fever is upon us like never before. For the first time that I can remember the race is actually interesting for once and could be won by anyone! Which actually gave me interest in the whole matter. A foregone conclusion is not interesting and more importantly not what this country needs.
In one corner we have Gordon 'Gripper' Brown. A politician not afraid to beat the shit out of his staff and call his supporters such things as "bigots" "tossers" "cock-noses" and "cuntstains"*. A man who no one actually voted for at any point. At all. Ever. A man who truly defines the old saying "ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag".
In the second corner we have David Cameron. Who does look a bit more like a politician than Brown. I'm sure he has some other stuff going for him. Like his hair maybe. Seems indecisive, and I still physically shudder when I think of the last Conservative government we had. But it's got to be better than what we have now right? Right?
In the final corner (I'm imagining the three main ones in a triangle, alright?) is Nick Clegg. The subject of the current wave of Cleggmania. There are many things that sound good when you add 'mania' to the end of. Clegg is not one of them. Not wanting to put forward my opinions too much - as I strongly believe voting is YOUR decision to make - but I think he has my vote.
On the subject of being influenced, it actually scares me sometimes how much hold the media has on this thing. After last Thursday's debate (the second one) The Sun declared the winner (although it's not actually something you win, that would be the election itself) was David Cameron, who to put it kindly put forward a shoddy performance in my opinion.
But seeing as Rupert Murdoch is for Cameron that means The Sun is for Cameron. He could have got his dick out and bashed one out over the front row and The Sun would have still awarded it to him.
But the startling reality is that a lot of the general public are clueless about this sort of thing and go to media sources such as The Sun or The Daily Mail (get to them in a minute) and take whatever they say as the God's honest truth and will base their votes on that. That isn't someone voting - thats the media controlling someones vote. I honestly believe that people who aren't intelligent enough to make their own decision about this sort of thing should not be allowed to vote.
But yes, The Daily Mail. They always seem to go that extra mile in the ways of bad journalism. Check out this story from last week > http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/election/article-1267921/GENERAL-ELECTION-2010-Nick-Clegg-Nazi-slur-Britain.html
Yep The Mail actually say "his Nazi slur". Based on what? Saying this country was living in the past about the War? I'm not trivializing the Wars for one second but it ended in 1945. That's 65 years ago. Literally a generation. A generation of Germans who want fuck all to do with that part of their history, hell probably 2 generations now. And here we are. Every St.Georges Day, out come the old war songs. As we continue to cling to it. Kids continue to make Hitler 'taches with their fingers. Where do they get that from exactly?
Same shit applies for the 1966 World Cup. I know England isn't the most winningest country but to cling on to these like they didn't happen all that time ago is something truly sad.
A rant about Politics these days isn't anything without mentioning the BNP. You may not have agreed with all I have said in this, but I think we can all get together on the BNP being a bunch of bigoted pieces of shit. Check out this Party Election Broadcast that was shown the other night...
OK let us bullet point all this...
- The War! There was a war on! Yeah, it was 2 generations ago but cor blimey, love a duck, apples and pears, we'll meet again, rub a dub etc. Yeah I made that point. But it's a cheap way to go for votes. From a cheap individual
- Where did he get the medals from behind him?
- "We don't hate anyone" Er...yeah you do. Anyone who is even tanned by the sounds.
- What would Churchill think? I don't know but I'm pretty sure the immigration problem is not caused by a sudden influx of Germans.
- We may have not been fighting for political correctness in 1945, but thats no excuse not exercise some.
- All these 'everyday folk in the street' are actors. Painfully bad actors.
And a final point on that...they only abuse Nick Griffin because he "refuses to toe the political line"? Huh. It's probably more that he's a small minded ignorant cunt.
Till next time - don't forget to vote, you won't be able to bitch about ANYTHING till next time if you don't!
*He may have only said the first one.
