...and the irony is killing me
Amusing headlines of our time, number 1. On the BBC website, this afternoon: "Blair condemns the violence".
And would this be the violence of tens of thousands of tons of bombs being dropped on innocent people in the middle east, in the name of oil profits...sorry, freedom (because the peoples of Iraq and Afghanistan seem inundated with freedom at the moment)? No. It's a bunch of pissed-up blokes having a scrap on the Algarve. The sort of thing that one could see at kicking out time in any small English town on a Friday night. But because there's football involved (nominally) our glorious leader has to stick his oar in. Whilst missing the real issues.
Hmmmm. No change there, then.
