So, why can't both teams lose?

Pity they can't both lose

Funny last night. Fat Sam Allardyce. Mancini had a go at the English managers and their sycophantic approach to Ferguson. Rightly so. They should be doing everything in their power to defeat all opponents and get as many points from their games as they can. Not cosying up to the demented old bullyboy. Allardyce is the prime example. You can imagine the great fat lump skipping off like a schoolgirl to hold hands with 'Thir Athlex' as they go off for a glass of red together after another defeat at Old Trafford.

Hughes at least has done his bit to send out teams to frustrate and even defeat United. But he is always so close to total nuclear meltdown that his blinkered viewpoint veers all to readily towards self-parody.

GM cows make GM milk

Apparently and alarmingly, there's milk in almost everything. Now, I've been weaned. I'm on solids now. Have been for a while. There's stuff in milk that upsets people. No great surprise. Milk is for feeding babies. We, for some strange reason, consume babyfeed from the teats of other species. Okay, we consume from bottles the babyfeed derived from the teats of other species. Odd.

My body 'aint a temple. Too big for a start. More like a cathedral, and not one designed for the worship of abstinence or moderation, either. Crumbling with age, too. Need a steeple replacement fundraising initiative.

Despite non-temple status, I don't like processed food. I don't go to the freezer (unless absolutely necessary) nor to the prepacked upper shelves. Hungry, I look at the vegetable drawers and the meat tray. That's the easiest way, I think. However, there's milk in all sorts of processed foods for some reason. Now it'll be genetically modified milk, no doubt.

Antisocialism

I can't call them new labour, and they are not socialists, so Antisocialist Conference it is. Ed Miliband has promised to prepare teenagers for work. More vocational, sausage-factory thinking. Puts me in mind of the battery-humans in The Matrix. There's no point to your existence son, so just get on with assembling those windscreen wipers and keep your nose clean. Isn't there some point in education for education's sake thing in socialist ideals? Isn't it the old Tory school that just wants sheeplike uneducated workers to do the donkey work for low pay and with little expectation from life to line their pockets. Work does not define a person, unless they're lucky enough to be doing something fulfilling, creative, or something they've emotionally bought into. Or unless they're very, very sad, and oil-film shallow. Otherwise work is what we reluctantly do because we need money to survive in a material world. Would you work for no pay / half pay / minimum wage pay? There's your answer.

Ed Balls (is it something about the name 'Ed'?) has vowed to 'rebuild Britain anew'. Ambitious, Ed. Maybe not beyond your paygrade, even. Way outside your intellectual capacity, though. The man who wanted to spread disruptive kids evenly among all schools in order to drag them all down to the same level. The man who equated educational success with the attainment levels that, statistically, correlated with just about staying out of jail and off the dole. The man who wants to build 100,000 homes to sit around without buyers. The 'socialist' who supports austerity measures (himself excepted, of course) and pay freezes for everyone (but not for MPs). The archetypal Blairite Antisocialist.

While the party conferences debate their bull, half the great barrier reef is gone. Acidification and storms have done the damage. Apparently while extinctions and climate change goes unchecked, new apprenticeships and whether bankers get obscene, double-obscene or treble-obscene bonuses are the important issues.

Meanwhile, despite all the blah, a NHS high up goes with a £90k golden handshake after three weeks in post. Great job guys.

Deport Abu Hamza?

How about a deep hole in the ground. Add Hamza, Thatcher, Reagan (the architects and designers of the global meltdown), Blair and Brown (the builders responsible), Cameron 'n' Clegg, Ed'n'ed, Jimmy Saville and Jeremy Clarkson. Backfill. The world? A better place.

How's this for a FA racism charge

Fergie has claimed that “foreign players are the worst culprits for diving”. This hasn't got the high-impact effect of John Terry calling someone a 'black c**t' during a game, with all the court cases and media furore. If there's no media reaction to Ferguson's statement (I suspect there won't be) then that only adds to the conspiracy theorists databank. How isn't that clear, blatant and inexcusable racism. Worse, it's cynically designed to take the heat off his homegrown cheating diving players. Isn't it time for some emperor's new clothes on this bloke. Isn't it time the FA (heh) stopped moving the goalposts and provided an even playing field?
