Workfare, or work-shy?
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in Everyday, News, Social Discourse on February 27, 2012
The recent week has witnessed the simmering row over Workfare – the scheme introduced by the Government to encourage the otherwise unemployable back into employment. Given the state of the economy and the current employment figures, any attempt to grease the cogs at their lowest level would be helpful in getting things moving – but it would be appear that some people are simply determined to get in the way of things.

Dizaei Rascal
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in Everyday, News on February 15, 2012
Some people just cannot escape the headlines, and one such individual is former Metropolitan Police Commander and race-card player Ali Dizaei, aka the “Dizaei Rascal”. Now, some of you may remember my last comments on “Criminal Ali”, made some two years ago when he was handed his first sentence for his dodgy activities. Read the rest of this entry »
Still here…
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in Everyday on January 27, 2012
Christmas has come and gone, and January is almost at an end… There has been plenty to write about this year, but I’ve been busy with other projects elsewhere. Lunchtimes have not been long enough, there is just too much to write about to the point where you are left wondering where to start, and I have been trying to accelerate my Schwarz und Weiß project. If you are interested in football, just click on through – if not, just click through anyway as it will help boost my rankings.

¡Viva la Revolución!
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in News, Social Discourse on December 14, 2011
Latest I told you so news from the NoShitSherlock Channel: Islamic extremists lead the way the Egypt’s happy democratic election – the first and, if things follow this course, probably the last before the next major coup, car bomb bloodbath or inevitable American-led invasion.

More Tales from the Cesspool
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in Everyday, News, Social Discourse on December 6, 2011
I have long given up on reading a story and saying “words fail me” – because, quite frankly, they don’t any more. You just don’t have to look very far to read a tale of an animal being placed in a microwave by some mass-breeding Mekon-headed chav moron, an illegal immigrant driving the wrong way up the motorway whilst intoxicated in an untaxed and uninsured vehicle, or some oxygen-thieving little bastard throwing rocks onto passing cars from road bridges.

Stirring the pot
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in Everyday, News, Social Discourse on December 1, 2011
I can’t believe I haven’t posted for over a month: tempus fugit. Nothing at all in November, a month that has seen Europe on the brink of financial collapse, the press being brought to book for all sorts of unseemingly skullduggery, and Libya being transformed into a healthy and flourishing democracy.

Nothing is ever Sirte-n
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in News on October 21, 2011
So after months of silly games of hide-and-seek and media speculation, Colonel Gaddafi is now dead – the final scenes taking place in a drain in his home region of Sirte. Given his infamously ostentatious lifestyle, it was something of an inglorious end – he didn’t even get a last meal of falafel washed down with a pint of fresh camel milk.

Who’s afraid of the Big Bad (Grey) Wolf?
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in DM Nazi Story of the Week, News, Sophistry Corner on October 17, 2011
Yep, it’s another Daily Mail Nazi (for that, read Adolf Hitler) story. I keep joking about articles placing the Führer in Latin America, and it appears that the folks at the DM have been reading my requests. Hurrah! Read the rest of this entry »
Ah, zoze Frenchies, hein?
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in DM Nazi Story of the Week on October 3, 2011
Although the Daily Mail continues to publishly frequent Nazi-related stories almost without fail, I have to admit that I have got rather bored of them. It’s just a case of the same old Scheisse, really: if it’s not some comical old wives’ tale about Josef Mengele’s long lost brother being found living among primitive tribes in Borneo, then it’s some story of some spectacular saluting dog called Adolf.

Sophistry Corner: EU bunch of jokers
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in Social Discourse, Sophistry Corner on September 20, 2011
I have a love-hate relationship with the European Union. I am a pan-European. I believe in the idea of a pan-European culture. I have since I was knee-high to a grasshopper been a staunch Germanophile. I have a French girlfriend. I love travelling through Europe and taking in everything that wonderful continent has to offer.
