BBC News 24

It's a Sunday and I'm on duty. Therefore, most of my time is spent signing logs and planning lessons etc for the next week. I happened across BBC News 24 on my laptop after buying this absolutely brilliant bit of kit.

It was live coverage of the Liberal Democrat spring conference. Sir Menzies Campbell and his audience look like the annual outing of Eastwood Bowling Club. 250 Ginger Beers and lime please.

However, it's not the mean age that worries me. Sir Campbell has the charisma and leadership qualities of a post-it note. I don't know exactly what age he is (actually he's 66) , how many presentations, speeches and public addresses he has made, but HE IS PISH. He has absolutely no authority in his voice, has difficulty reading the auto cues (which are fed reams of useless wank-words by highly paid Cambridge alumni) and the mandatory audience "participation" clapping seems to come in the form of a dribble.

Fair enough, Sir, I'll give you the fact you have come out with a good idea of abolishing NI for the poorest wage earners and hoping the single-mum-£35k-a-year-for-being-a-slag-and-having-5-kids will actually go out and get a job.
There was one thing which worried me slightly, however. "We will never attack Iran," he said. Big man, I don't care how green and flowery you want your party to be, but that is one thing that you should never, ever, ever, ever rule out. Your stance on Trident has actually taken some decent thought - who knows - it could even be a good idea.

For all the Guardian-reading lesbians out there who moan about "The firepower in one submarine could kill 85,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.9 people - ban them all now!" Now, rugmunchers, do you honestly think that we would send every single of our missiles all over the world at the same time to kill everyone?

And before you say, "That's not the point!", well.....yes it is, so shut up.
And before you say, "They are too expensive," for what, exactly? The amount of funds we gain from Trident far outweigh the cost and put us a in a privileged position at the big round table.
And before you say anything else, please, please, please be quiet. Forever.

P.S. I predict people getting bored of bebo by 2008, apart from Millar who will continue stalking until she is 50.

  • Mac you half baked dromadary. "Guardian Reading Lezzers" was MY invention. Actually it was the invention of Jim Richardson, but I'll happily take the credit. Furthermore, shutup.

  • Olly, thanks for your comment. I would like to point out all of the mistakes you have made in 3 sentences but shall suffice with the fact that you spelt dromedary incorrectly.
