Rant 334 29/11/12 Subject: Ignoring Leveson

Rant number 335

The press have been pretty naughty for quite a while.

The whole tabloid set up has bred some pretty damned disgusting habits - which have gone badly uncontrolled for quite some time.

For a start, they've been stalking the hell out of celebrities for quite some time. Now - this is a two way street in some ways. When celebrities want something - they'll do anything (generally stupid) to show off and get the attention so that they can plug their latest album/movie/TV show/other generic shit.

Then they have printed stories with no evidence and appalling bias - which is just a bit shit and can ruin people lives.

Then there is the boundless accusations they throw about without considering the consequences to those they accuse.

But mostly - they've hacked into voice mails (including some poor murdered girls) and crossed all lines of fairness, decency and humanity.

This action brought the media to its knees, killed one of the biggest newspapers, lost many people (quite righty) their jobs and brought about an enquiry that has doubtless cost us - the tax payer, a hell of a lot of money - as in, several million.

That's a lot of money, that could be spent sensibly - on improving many things. It's been spent on a report about the press instead though (on the same day, that they've announced they are going to charge every household more for their energy.)

The worst thing about that though - is that Cameron isn't going to do fuck all with it. Just nothing.

You see - he's so in bed with his powerful friends that he can't do anything remotely unpopular with them - even at the jeopardy of the press actually having some standards.

We're all in it together remember though.

Cameron - once again, you are a pointless, spineless, self serving, elitist, money grabbing cunt and I hope that you catch something really infectious from a toilet seat and end up with your genitals rotting away and resembling raisins - only for these to be eaten by hungry squirrels.

Rant over.

Rant 182 30/6/12 Subject: Government enquiries

Rant number 182

The banks have been and done in again. This time it's mis-selling insurance and pushing the interest rates about for their own ends.

The opposition leader has stated that the system is fundamentally corrupt- which it is. But so is the government and so is labour.

None the less, he is now demanding that a full enquiry is made into the banking sector.

In principal this is great. I would lo e for our banks to be less corrupt and for people to receive justice.

Like it or not though, the financial landscape does not change, however much you want it to - and an enquiry isn't going to fix it.

Like the Leveson enquiry though, I can only see it dragging on for years and costing the tax payer a fortune.

And really, does ascertaining that they are doing wrong fix the problem?

No

And while we are on the subject of enquiries. I'd be much more interested on an impartially run enquiry into government corruption, nepotism and general self serving.

I can't see any of the bastards looking into that though!

Rant over.
