Sophistry Corner: Get me a bucket.
Posted by Grand Méchant Loup in Social Discourse, Sophistry Corner on September 9, 2011
Earlier this week I didn’t feel too well after having a Sainsbury’s chicken and bacon sandwich – I am now convinced that they buy their chicken from one of those “dodgy geezers” featured on those formulaic investigative documentaries – but a quick glance at the Guardian this morning has got me reaching for the proverbial sick bucket once again.

State persecution?

It has been a while since my last blog. A good while. I cannot think of any specific reason as even with my busy I have always been able to find a spare five minutes here and there, but hey.
This article in The Guardian however did stick in my craw – yet another wormy diatribe from an ivory tower dweller about our good old friends the Romany people and the rather unfortunate news that the French government has finally started to crack down on their itinerant and criminal behaviour.

What should I wear to a protest march?
I just had to laugh at this – not only is the question itself ridiculous, the girl on the left looks like a charicature – an extra from Citizen Smith. The scarf is all wrong though – she needs a shemagh, surely? And what, no balaclava? Watch her mug quickly make its way on the Met’s all-new spotter cards.
Only the good old Grauniad can waste time publishing an article that attempts to make this work-shy activity chic.
If the more hardcore activists out there are looking for a suitable colour in which to hit the streets, I’d suggest that classic off-white with a slight touch of greyish-red, also known as hint of brain.
Yep, it has been a slow news day today.
