Inflammatory Words




Busy all this week ploughing through the agenda for next week's plenary session in Strasbourg. Not that you really want to hear about this instead you would probably like to hear that I should be in the Sun tomorrow.

There's no guarantee of course, there never is in these matters, but you should be reading about further religiously orchestrated vindictiveness against the British National Party. Apparently at the moment we merely face losing our jobs which, I hasten to add, is a much better option than being burnt at the stake.

However, in current race-obsessed Britain one cannot discount the prospect that cleansing by fire might soon become a correctional option for people like us having the temerity to complain about the systematic  and deliberate replacement of our indigenous folk.

 A John Terry flambĂ© would certainly make spectacular headlines in the Sun if he is found guilty of what is undoubtedly now the most serious crime in Britain. I wonder, in the current climate, whether anyone would dare to say that the punishment was, shall we say, just a little steep.

Changing the subject I've decided that I shall try and grow some of those Tesco Finest Italian Piccolo cherry tomatoes that currently cost £1.75 a punnet.  These are absolutely delicious and I've saved about thirty seeds ready to try and germinate along with some tasty mini peppers.

I have recently discovered and have been very much enjoying the Charlie Sheen series Two and a Half Men currently being shown on the VIVA channel.  Really slick and clever comedy but unfortunately slightly spoilt by adverts for MTV's Geordie Shore series. You can see what I mean by viewing the trailer here .

Is it just me or does anyone else think that if ethnic minorities were depicted in such a condescending and stereotypical manner there would be uproar? Fearing future incineration I dare not go into details, but imagine role reversals complete with heavy accents and derogatory culinary and reproductive habits. They wouldn't dare do it would they?
