Huddersfield eventually won on sudden death after a long match. So the matter of whom to support next season (if I live that long) has been resolved. Bristol City, Rovers, Blades. Spurs, Baggies. Perhaps I will take up martial arts again? The loss of their best player did not help Sheffield Utd.  It would be an awful pity if folks blamed a corrupt judiciary and police and took the law into their own hands.

Is my next trip to...

Vote No. The EU has merely become another rich men's club. As with Lisbon we may be asked to vote twice (!) until we give the "correct" answer. With the disintegration of the Eurozone the time is coming when the corrupt and nepotistic regime in Dail Eireann will be replaced.

This is an open post. Now to Kerry McCarthy MP who was unable to answer this question "Why are men accused in rape trials not granted anonymity but women accusers are?" Mensch's deletion of the "DCI Broxted" account plus Lloyd Wymans means that for now the foremost spokesman for Ched Evans is not on Twitter. This makes it hard for North Wales Police to arrest a ghost n'esp pas? That leaves Blogpsot (Lauren Crawford blog post taken down but the name is widely known) and other sites such as this. Mercifully the corrupt mendacious scum of the British police have no jurisdiction here. Odd too that I was not arrested last week as I spent 4 days (or 100 hours) behind enemy lines. 
Finally I am planning y trip to North Wazirstan (honest). £100 for a visa for Pakistan and more paperwork than when I went to Iran. Il ha'am du'l il eh.

The blogosphere is alive with the buzz over the recent case of Sheffield United footballer Evans and his court case in which he pleaded not guilty to raping Lauren Crawford. This highlights the law at present, whereby a man is accused and named (think Julian Assange and Anna Ardin, Sofia Wilen) yet an alleged victim is granted anonymity. I invite the judiciary and police to lend me their views along with you dear readers, is it not wrong under ECHR legislation that the current situation prevails? I tried the softly softly approach and received no reply from the legal world or politicians. Hence - Lauren Crawford said Evans raped her, co-accused MacDonald was acquitted, now one hears that Lauren Crawford made three prior claims of rape. A rather unlucky girl or a gold digging tart?

Is it time to change the law?

Deltiology, the collecting of postcards, I am branching out, and on my forthcoming visit to Ingerlund hope to buy and sell what is becoming hopefully, a lucrative market. Looking through the muniments room at Rehill Grange I note that some of my impedimentia should go. Thus, some philatelic items from way back when. Numismatics, Polish coins. 
Notaphily - the collection of bank notes as a hobby (had to look it up). My collection is mostly European and Eastern at that. Finally, a chance remark made me look up someone from my university days. A born again Christian (in his case neither high nor low Anglican, just an idiot). He was engaged but no sign of him being married (if she were any more of a drip she would have been in an aquarium). Nice to see someone's life even more fucked up than mine. Now, to book my plane ticket.

How do you rate it?

Channel 4, 10pm. Ricky Gervais latest offering about a retard/slow/simple chap who helps out at a geriatric home. Good performance by Kerry Godliman as Hannah. Was it me or did Derek look like Bruno Ganz in "Downfall"? Poll, 1 = crap, 10 = Great.

Wordpress have a glaring gap where the trash of the police put their online bile. Wanted to take down award winning blogge "After Watt". Was it something we said constable? Gloating here now for a while, sing when you are winning. This quote from the Cardiff Three "They thought we would just fade away". One Nil, time for a resurrection on Twitter?

The poll refers to the first part of my blog. The loss of 1500 lives was a tragedy but it seems to be consuming a lot of the TV news recently. Bit sickened by idiots dressing up as toffs and paying a fortune to frig about in a reconstruction. Oh well, perhaps I am just grumpy.

Hyped too much?

Now to Abu Hamza who was royally shafted by the premier rich men's club, the ECHR. I do not agree with his views on all subjects (we are probably in accordance regarding the police) but he has no chance of a fair trial in the US. This sodding laptop went AWOL last night, had a breakdown.

Today sees the world's newest nation, Azawad, formerly Northern Mali proclaim it's liberty. Currently the MNLA are holding strong positions along with "Ansar Dine", "Al Que'da In Maghreb", and "Boko Haram". For too long the Tuareg people have been denied the basic freedom of their own territory and national destiny. The corrupt regime in Bamako is using what amounts to ECOWAS mercenaries, propped up by Washington, the Sarkozy government and those who would confound any attempt by the Tuareg to forge their own destiny.

Just finished watching a bootleg copy, first half was dire but great acting from Meryl Streep and Olivia Colman. The male roles were all well played. It ought to have been more chronological, got to 1981 (Brixton) then 1984 (Orgreave) suddenly flashed back to 1982 (Malvinas). Porque? No mention of Thatcher's plan to drop a nuclear warhead on Argentina. Finally, Blair got an oblique (and positive) mention and it was only as the credits rolled I realised how small a part the US played in her government 1979-90. Should a bio-pic be made of Blair it would need a massive American cast.
