Rant number 353
How on earth, is this shit still in the news now? It was bastarding months ago.
For anyone who has just been released from jail/has just emerged from a Coma, this all begun rather a while ago.
A guy called Andrew Mitchell wanted to go out of the main gates on downing street on his bicycle, because he's like - so too important to use the gates right?
The policemen guarding the gates - not surprisingly said something along the lines of 'use the gate please' to which Andrew Mitchell had a bit of a tantrum - apparently culminating in him calling them Plebs.
He's since been sacked - and quite right too. If you want the public to be respectful to your police force - you should probably try and be respectful to them too.
That's not actually what I'm bothered about to be honest.
What irks me is two things:
A) Them calling it Plebgate - which is very irritating.
B) The fact that its still in the news.
I quite frankly don't really care about the story - and don't expect it to be carrying on so long. Andrew Mitchell has many times said he didn't call the policemen Plebs however - he seems to be quite tightlipped on exactly what was said. Now also - he's trying to turn it back on the coppers for lying about it. Just drop it! It should have been over with now.
Everyone knows that the tories are out of touch bastards who think we are indeed plebs, commoners, peasants etc etc. Chasing these stupid stories does nothing to solve things.
It's not like him being gone is going to make things better. They'll just replace him with another arsehole. That's how things like this are.
Frankly, I'm a bit pissed off of hearing about it now! There had better be some new news tomorrow!

Rant 63 - 03/3/12 Subject: People who are rude for no reason
Rant number 63
Those of you out there that know me well, can doubtless call me a lot of things. I can be loud, ostentatious, occasionally saucy, obtuse & myriad other things.
What I am not however is rude, simply because I was brought up properly and because I think that it is one of the least desirable human traits imaginable.
The rudeness of the general populous we are surrounded by is, in fact - one of the reasons I don't like to be out in public too often.
Rudeness is such a big thing and such a big problem, and it is genuinely exasperating. Its everywhere I go!
People on the roads behave like rude animalistic idiots, pushing in to gaps they have no right to be in, tailgating, using inappropriate hand signals (generally in response admittedly to another idiots bad behavior) and so many other little things.
People out and about use bad language in ear shot of children, smoke in your face, knock into you because they are not looking where they are going and generally behave like pillocks.
People on the phone talk to you with no respect, swearing, cajoling & insulting with no regard or empathy.
I just bloody hate it, when did it get OK to be rude?
Today for instance, I got on a bus from town. The bus was pretty full so I stood to the side - leaving the seats for those more in need. An elderly lady then got on - followed closely by two small boys.
The lady then let forth with a muttered (but not so muttered that it was not audible) tirade about pretty much everyone. The boys - who were doing nothing wrong were told 'behave, I'm only getting off at the next stop,' she then complained about how it was mayhem on account of it being a Saturday, followed by saying that us standing up shouldn't be allowed and that we should be forced to sit down.
I felt like telling her to behave herself - but I would have considered that to be rather rude.
Lovely old bird huh? I love(d) my grandparents (who regrettably now have all but one passed away,) and have a great respect for elderly persons. They however, all continued to be normal people - and never turned into rude old battle-axes. Age just isn't an excuse.
If I had my way, there would be a spot fine for rude behavior, empathy and respect are being lost in this modern world!
