We Told You We Didn't Want War

- elaine - Friday, May 6th, 2005 : goo

[previous] :: [next]

and now you have to believe us.

the labour government are back in, here, but by a nice thin punishing majority instead of a do as you like fat one. good.

now, in what the media are describing as a 'surprise' ousting, my local labour lady has been booted out and we have a man from a brand new party styling itself 'respect'. this is the permatanned george galloway. he stood on an anti war platform.

25% of the entitled electorate in this country turned out to vote yesterday. i was not one of them. i am not apathetic, i have voted labour all my life, but i cannot bring myself to vote otherwise. 75% voted with their feet. exactly why we do not know, but we do know that whoever you vote for the government always gets in.

when the right wing government i spent my young adulthood under the pall of did bad things we said these are mean people doing bad things.

when labour took us to war, well.

elaine: 6th May 2005 - 14:29 GMT

we already were... especially by television

i didn't think i was bothered if george snagged it, or if oona just got a hiding but slipped in, but i am glad to have the anti war bloke, and he is, it turns out big chummies with tony benn, possibly the best prime minister we never had

Peter: 6th May 2005 - 14:35 GMT

cool. i just like the blood-splattered bushface photo. it looks creepy.

elaine: 6th May 2005 - 14:37 GMT

it probably doesn't just look creepy, it probably is creepy. he is creepy, and my guess is he is doing something creepy

Peter: 6th May 2005 - 14:47 GMT

it was from when he had a bike wreck a year or so ago... and if you ask me- yes, im going to go ahead and say what everyone is thinking- its a damn shame he didnt get hurt alot worse, heh >:)

he is a creepy, evil man; he is ruining our country and our world simultaneously.

elaine: nasty boy, bad boy, back in your box

george galloway: 9th May 2005 - 08:41 GMT

who saw george galloway tearing a strip off jeremy paxman on live tv the other night?

elaine: 9th May 2005 - 10:34 GMT

poor paxo! i didn't see. i am glad, it might have made me sad. i am liking the fury, in general, though. i hope he improves our shitty hospital

Jamie: 9th May 2005 - 11:16 GMT

heh, he was being interviewd remotely via an in-studio screen thingy and was pissed off with the line of questioning and said something along the lines of "i've just won an election!" and buggered off. Jeremy was all like "uhh?!" an i was all like #"hah!". I am not fond of jemermy paxman.

elaine: he is scary dad!

elaine: 12th May 2005 - 07:11 GMT

ha ha, i heard that interview last night, very poor paxo, dreadful. to be honest, 'how dare you stand aganinst a black woman?' is really not a question, and certainly not one he should have had anything to do with, he deserved a taste of his own medicine for that.
even i could have asked a better question of him, given that his election material was only anti war and nothing else, what are his other policies? as it happens he is old labour, so we can guess, but the reason i didn't vote for him is because the 'respect' party was only standing on that one issue, and altough i agree with it, there is more to daily politics - after all, hitler stood as a 'national socialist' and without any history at the time of fascism, a socialist could easily vote for that, and see what you would get?
i saw him in a local cafe, and i didn't trust his tan, but i am quite liking him now, and it seems a lot of the labour party agree with him, since blair is looking very shaky as leader now, and we might be looking at a new PM very soon

Jamie: 12th May 2005 - 08:19 GMT

That's all very well but didn't he (alledgedly) accept a gift of 20 million barrels of oil from Saddam's government not so long ago?

Jamie: George Galloway that is. Not Paxo. hah!

elaine: 12th May 2005 - 08:31 GMT

well exactly, and, like i say, he has this suspicious tan. he looks like the car dealer from the fast show - a car, jamie, is very much like a beautiful woman...
would you buy a used car from him?
or vote for him?
but it is interesting, and i think he can't do much harm on his own, and he may do some good, and oona was doing jack all about the car fires....

elaine: was it hair oil?

elaine: 16th May 2005 - 06:52 GMT

note to yanks: our man galloway is on his way to washington right now, ostensibly to justify his links with saddam hussain, i hope your geezer bush is ready to confess his interest in the oil system, it might just turn out the worse for him... keep your ears to the ground, there will be fireworks, whether they are broadcast or not depends on your media

elaine: 31st May 2005 - 06:55 GMT

yesterday i saw this sticker left over from the voting telling muslims not to vote. this, in a ward with a candidate standing specifically on an anti war platform. some people literally will cut off their nose to spite their face. bear in mind that funamentalists may be active, but they do not speak for the vast majority. nevertheless i think this is shocking image 2351

jeeff: amen to that.

elaine: 6th Jun 2005 - 17:45 GMT

i know! i was so pleased to see this today. i have other stuff to post, but just wanted to put this one in here. it's fab, isn't it?
btw its' location is brick lane E1

elaine: 7th Oct 2005 - 11:34 GMT

bush would be held under section 35 of the mental health act if he tried that 'god told me to do it'line in the uk

jamie: the voices in my head said "KiLL!"

elaine: 7th Oct 2005 - 11:40 GMT

yeah, so that's alright then, as long as you have the means to do it, ...er?

elaine: 7th Oct 2005 - 11:50 GMT

actually it might be section 136, sorry about that - though if he was arrested first it would be 35. it's complicated, there is more than one section you can be detained under www.hyperguide.co.uk/mha/overview.htm#start for anyone pedantic enough to want to check, or enough of an interest in the labyrinthine 1995 mental health act (uk)
