It's All Woe-ver Now

So a few random thoughts on the story de nos jours:
- Someone tell the Channel 4 reporter that Wolverhampton is not pronounced Woe-verhampton. Unless she was being ironic.
- And this from a broadcaster who put out the Tweet 'David Cameron wanks more councils to evict tenants involved in riots' earlier today. You read it right.
- They aren't Feds, they are the police. This isn't The Wire it's N17.
- Did Levi's really think it was a good idea to try and sell jeans by using a man giving it Bertie Big Bollocks to a line of riot policemen in its latest ad? Now been pulled I see.
- A lot of posts seem to point out there's been no rioting in Scotland. Why? One word answer: rain.
- Anyone see that primary school worker come out of court and walk into a lamp-post? Comedy gold.
- Can we have a moratorium on 'experts' particularly journalists posing as experts.
 Finally, I'm not surprised those people all got nicked looting Argos. They probably had to wait for ages for that bloke to get the stuff from out the back.

So let's see if I've got this right. The way to mend Broken Britain is to banish single mums, lock up all their children, halt all communications technology since the Telex machine, outlaw hoods, masks and hats (unless being worn by a policeman covering up his official recognition number during demonstrations) and more CCTV cameras because the current ones seem to have captured images of white people, accountants and public schoolgirls looting so obviously aren't doing the job they are supposed to.
And the best way to eliminate a social and criminal underclass is to stop their benefits, chuck them out of council houses and put them on a curfew?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I've just found out the first match of the season has been postponed and would like to say forget everything I said earlier and bring back the death penalty for looters.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Spurs goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes says he is scared to step foot outside his home because of the riots. Now he knows how Spurs fans feel when he steps outside his penalty area.
By the way, he lives in Chigwell. Unless anyone is looting for a new handmade blind for their kitchen or a heat exchanger for an outdoor swimming pool, then I think it may remain unaffected.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The BBC high definition channel has a choice of programmes it can show in HD so why, when there was a brilliant documentary on ants on BBC2 - and really, it was bloody brilliant, with cameras underground following this complex society through war, peace, birth and death - did they choose to put the some poxy Sarah Beeney 'let's do up a village' shite.
It's not about ratings, surely it's about what looks better in HD. And if you have sport or a nature documentary or a film, surely that would be better than some reality claptrap where a group of people have to get a couple of houses wallpapered before an imaginary clock runs out of time and they all turn back into the boring people they were before the cameras turned up.
Let's hope everything gets back to normal soon...cheers, Solly
