5 Reasons for Political Cheer

May 28th, 2009 at 7:11 pm

Another stupid list

#5 – We still have a Private Sector

Hurray for evil Capitalists doing things for profit. It may be a shrinking part of the economy, but it still manages to pay for itself and the entire public sector. Try not to think too hard about what could be done with all that money if that wasn’t the case – you’ll only upset yourself

#4 – The Internet is still Free

Sure, as an unregulated, untaxed system allowing full and uncontrolled access to pretty much anything and everything – the ultimate in lassez faire frameworks for communications and trade – it’s hard to believe, really, that it’s being tolerated at all. For now, however, it’s still Free. Just.

#3 – Labour are nearly gone

Back with you! Back to the wilderness to have a good, hard long think about the evils of populism, the stupidity of authoritarianism and the value of civil liberties you evil, lying twats.

#2 – The Battle in the UK, 2009, is not Communists Versus Fascists

Seriously with a choice like that I hope I do get dragged off and shot. Hard to believe it’s not actually that long ago when this was reality for some in Europe. Gah. Away with the lot of ye!

#1 – The Leader of the UK Fascist Movement is a Bug-Eyed Loser

Hitler was shouty and charismatic, able to inspire and motivate people into actually going off and killing, which is why he’s history’s number one villian. Griffin, on the other hand, odious turd that he is, continues to give the impression of a McDonald’s Duty Manager or a used car salesman. Nationalism and Socialism, probably my two least favourite ideologies, munged together and represented by this guy? I’m sorry, I just can’t bring myself to be scared.
