Britain: Banana Republic
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in Everyday, News, Social Discourse on September 8, 2011
Life expectancy, fifty-five years. Boarded-up streets. Poverty, drugs, unemployment, misery. A local political representative that lives in a double-fronted property down the road and does not have an accessible office so those he purports to represent can speak to him.

Time to flush the toilet…
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in Everyday, News on August 30, 2011
After her silly foray in the Big Brother house, Speaker John Bercow’s wife Sally has achieved her dream and become a media columnist – for the Daily Star Sunday. It’s about time someone pulled the chain on this publicity-seeking airheaded moron – just what in God’s name is she going to “write” about?

Liberate me ex inferis
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in Everyday, News, Social Discourse on August 15, 2011
It has taken a mass mobilisation of the police, a sudden move towards what looks like instant justice and the usual soundbites and mealy-mouthed proclamations, but it finally appears that the spate of urban unrest and looting – or this phase of it at least – is over. As the dust is beginning to settle on the broken streets of England’s cities, who or what to focus our attention on is beginning to dominate the political agenda. Read the rest of this entry »
Is this London or LA?
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in Everyday, News, Social Discourse on August 9, 2011
Just a quick one, as I don’t really want to kick-start what might turn out to be yet another monumental essay on urban unrest, ethnic ghettoes in the shittier parts of London and the flood of effluent nonsense spouted by leftists who cannot see the abject failure of their self-serving social experiments.

Excuses, excuses…
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in Everyday, News, Social Discourse on April 26, 2011
The Daily Mail is fast turning into my favourite online comedy resource. Forget all those bawdy joke sites and funny videos involving cats, if you want real genuine lowbrow entertainment, there’s no better place to go than the Daily Mail online – the masters of the slow news and non-news story.

Some people need to be bumped off…
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in Everyday, News on April 26, 2011
OK, I know what you are all thinking. Gypsies. Criminals. Tony Blair. Well… No.
We’ve all heard the silly stories about Elf n’ Saftee, those two ostensibly banal words that have come to mean something far more sinister in the mollycoddled, nannied, politically correct atmosphere that is modern Britain. But the idea of banning dodgem car bumping takes this madness to altogether new heights. Read the rest of this entry »
Mobile Moron
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in Everyday, News on April 11, 2011
Only the other day I was writing about morons for whom their mobile device is the centre of the universe… Cue a story that pretty much sums up in a nutshell why I believe these individuals should be taken into their local town centres and flogged within an inch of their lives – before having having the device rammed down – or up, whatever takes one’s fancy – where the soleil doesn’t shine.

Dumbing Down, Down, Down.
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in Everyday, Sophistry Corner on April 9, 2011
Call me a word snob, but I occasionally despair at some of today’s journalistic offerings. While one can accept that the common or garden tabloid is aimed at those for whom words of more than two syllables constitute a mental challenge, this surely cannot be applied to our more “highbrow” publications.

Mobile Madness
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in Everyday, News on April 9, 2011
Mobile phones. Useful tools, granted. I am not going to go all hypocritical here as I have one myself, but if I could uninvent them completely I’d do so in a heartbeat. From being the number one target for street thieves to the tool of choice for the semi-professional snoop and voyeur, they can be a major irritation. Back in the day they were in the main used by people who had a genuine business need for them, but today every Tom, Dick and Harriet has one. Or two. Or more. Read the rest of this entry »
Golly Gosh…
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in Everyday, News on March 22, 2011
While thousands of Japanese people are homeless and our meddling and foolishly well-meaning government is helping to cause a right royal kerfuffle in North Africa, some people still have time to get into a flap about life’s minutae. Yes, it’s poor old Golly again – this time making the news after he made an appearance on the Facebook profiles of two prospective Conservative Party councillors. Read the rest of this entry »
