Johnson Fail
Friday, October 30, 2009 at 9:30PM
I know, I hardly ever post these days. To be honest there is very little worth commenting on, and there are now so many politics blogs that everything I might say has probably been said anyway.
This David Nutt bullshit, however, will not pass without comment.
Labour faces a mauling at the ballot box. But rather than sticking two-fingers up at the wanking Red-Top press, and making a stand against anti-science bull-crap populism, they have done what they always do. They've capitulated in the fear that some over-paid shitface blowhard at The Daily Fail will have a pop.
Man-up, for Christ's sake.
I have long criticised this government's kowtowing to the tabloid media. Indeed, I ranted about it on a recent podcast. New Labour's slavish pandering to Murdoch and Dacre is the single most irritating aspect of the last 11 years.
David Nutt is a scientist. He doesn't give a shit about what Richard Littlecock thinks. He was sacked because his advice was at odds with the brain-dead policies of this government. He's right, the government is wrong.
Alan Johnson, a man whose credibility is shrinking faster than my cock in an ice-cold plunge pool, has sold out reason and truth because one of his advisors had the balls to challenge him. He's a coward.
Johnson wrote that he no longer had confidence in Nutt, and asked that he consider his position. In other words: Do one, butt-pipe. I'd ask the same of Johnson and co. if the alternative (i.e. Slippery Dave and his gang of blue-suited weirdoes) weren't so fucking creepy.
Anyways, that's enough from me. Have a Happy Halloween and don't forget to check the bog for Critters. Laters.

Nice to have you back with a good one.
You are right. There's no compensation in talking politics nowadays. What with corruption and its sequels the political world seems to rear its ugliest head.
But it's always grand to read you.
Good one tyger, quite agree, although I wouldn't have used so many references to cocks.
Hi all,
Thanks!
zhisou,
Yeah, but it's the lack of cock references that really holds you back. You could be great, if only you introduced a few more tallywhackers into your prose.
