Michael Foot RIP

Michael Foot has died.

Many words have already been said about him.

All I can add is he seemed to be an old-style socialist, honest and principalled. I didn't agree with much of what he stood for but at least his first and last thought was for the ordinary people of this country. Not like the neo-Marxists clothed in PR finery that we have running the Labour party these days.

Offski

I'm going to take a rest from this blogging lark.

I don't know if or when I'll be back. I just don't have it in me to carry on.

There is so much fucking injustice and deceit in this country, I don't know if I can stomach reading the shit that passes for news these days.

I did think in the early days of my blogging activity that when the Conservatives got in there's be a change for the better. But as time is passing and as we get closer to the election, is becoming clearer thats not going to be the case. So, why the fuck am I here? Nothing I say or do will make a difference. I don't have influence money or power, so really and truthfully, why the fuck should I be bothered about what happens in Westminster? The shit will just happen anyway as its all a stage-managed con, just as believable as the result of a wrestling match.

And I'm not alone: I betcha that this year will see the lowest turnout or voters for a general election. Because they too get the message that they don't count and will never see the sort of change that will grant them their wishes.

Fuck it. Fuck the obsurd futility of it all.

This Week's Revelation is:

That I'm good for fuck all aparrently.
