I’m delighted to see that the protests in London over the Chinese governments treatment of human beings has globalised. The Parisian leg of the relay was an utter fiasco; the torch organisers didn’t know whether they were coming or going and it seems very liking this whole relay business will be scrapped by the IOC entirely.

This wasn’t the intention of the protests; it was never an attack on The Olympic Games per se, the torch needs to continue its journey precisely so it may draw attention to human right atrocities but of course the IOC aren’t keen to have the torch politicised… Berlin 1936 anyone? Actually, it was the Nazi’s who introduced this relay concept in the first place, the cunts.

The Chinese government are determined that the torch journey continues, one would’ve thought, initially, that they’d be rather keen to just forget about it but of course the reason The Chinese Government wish to see the relay continue is because of it’s final entry onto the Chinese mainland. I think they’re hoping that all the fireworks and shenanigans they’ve got in store (and lets face it, it’s going to be spectacular by anyone’s standards) will somehow make everyone forget about 8000 executions a year and what have you.

Boring day yesterday, the only incident of note was a mercy mission to visit Myfwt with a phone charger and clothes at lunchtime. She looks pale and a bit blemishy but not as bad as I was expecting –actually I’m not entirely sure what I was expecting, something out of Dickensian London shaking under a black hood by the side of road coughing up dark yellow phlegm, hands outstretched for alms? Despite being ill she’s in fairly good spirits, the illness isn’t going to get any worse, the most unpleasant aspect of the condition is the sheer pain of the spots, in some cases small lesions and out and out boredom.

Shortly a post will arrive on Watch With Mothers about Clowns, apart from watching that and reading there is nothing whatsoever to note about last night, I didn’t drink, I barely ate and I went to bed early because I was knackered.

Odd youtube posting today, some goon has mixed up Madonna and the Sex Pistols to make the following, I’m not sure how I feel about it at all. One thing I am positive is that towards the end when the former ‘artist’ sings the very high notes at the end she sounds like Anne Widdicombe, listen, it’s uncanny.
