The Prince of Wales says he believes he has been placed on Earth as future King ‘for a purpose’ - to save the world.
Giving a fascinating insight into his view of his inherited wealth and influence, he said: ‘I can only somehow imagine that I find myself being born into this position for a purpose. [...]

Chuckles loses the plot - epically.
Miss Australia
You know the film “This is Spinal Tap”? You know there is a scene where the manager gets annoyed at the interfering of one of the band members girlfriends and describes her as looking like “something from an Australian’s nightmare”. Behold Miss Australia…
Ruskin
Not long since I had the pleasure of the company of Paul Marks of Samizdata (it’s blog-rolled) fame in the Lake District. Naturally the conversation turned to Ruskin - I mean we could see his house from there. Now Ruskin was a nutter. We all know about the pubic hair incident but there is something [...]
People do Media Studies?
Neutrinos are created as a result of certain types of radioactive decay or nuclear reactions such as those that take place in the Sun, in nuclear reactors, or when cosmic rays hit atoms. There are three types, or “flavours”, of neutrinos: electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos and tau neutrinos; each type also has a corresponding antiparticle, [...]
PSHEE
When I were a lad we had this brand new subject called PSE (personal and social education) which nobody cared a toss about. Not least because it was entirely taught by the school numpties that we knew the head would never entrust with an exam class. Kids pick up on such things very quickly. Quite [...]
Hitler - The Christian
Right that has hurled the kitten amongst the spuggies…
People often make the claim that Adolph Hitler adhered to Atheism, Humanism or some ancient Nordic pagan mythology. None of these fanciful and wrong ideas hold. Although one of Hitler’s henchmen, Alfred Rosenberg, did undertake a campaign of Nordic mythological propaganda, Hitler and most of his henchmen [...]
Echelon
Fox News, the rabid right-wing of the news media in America, who like to consider themselves the mouth piece on America’s war on Islam messed up this week by revealing that GCHQ, the top-secret U.K communications agency has been working for the Americans intercepting and translating messages and providing the locations of Mujahideen targets for [...]
I think this is getting needlessly messianic.
A couple of weeks ago it was the sixteenth anniversary of The Great Leader joining the Choir Invisible (”Song of the Tractor” division). The following is from the DPRK official website:
16 Years since the Death of Kim Il Sung
Fifteen years [!?] have passed since the death of President Kim Il Sung (1912-1994), founder of socialist [...]
Islamic Science.
Muhammad ibn Zakariyā Rāzī (Mohammad-e Zakariā-ye Rāzi: Persian: محمد زکریای رازی), known as Rhazes or Rasis after medieval Latinists, (August 26, 865, Rey – 925, Rey) was a Persian physician, alchemist and chemist, philosopher, and scholar. He is recognised as a polymath, and Biographies of Razi, based on his writings, describe him as “perhaps the [...]
Curious
Elliot Hen-Tov, a scholar of Turkish-Iranian relations [some poor bugger has to be I guess], thinks he knows why.
“Iran is not completely comfortable with Turkey,” said Elliot Hen-Tov. “It never will be.”
Hen-Tov says Iranian leaders are perplexed - even envious - that a country that was half as rich as Iran was years 30 ago, [...]
Almost Scrobbled by the Rozzers
I was you know.
Just a few minutes ago.
I am grabbed on the arm from behind by a copper. He’d half-inched some kids down the road for smoking dope (truly The Crime of the Century!) and he sees me making off from the scene (aka walking home from the Co-op) and apparently he had called [...]
BBC
I’ve been undressed by kings and seen such things…
But until recently I have never watched such epic wank that is the BBC’s “101 Ways to Leave a Game Show” before. I thought “Hole in the Wall” was dreadful shite (More Sh’ite than Qom) and indeed challenged that ultra-cunt Edmond’s big money box-opening game. But tonight [...]
Control Freakery
Oh for fucks sake, all these fucking worthless human rights crap. Now it’s going to be a ‘human right’ to fucking water.
When I’m dying of hunger and thirst in the middle of the next fucking drought, caused by all those white fucking NGO SUVs farting fucking CO2, it’ll be so fucking comforting knowing that the [...]
Out of the closet
“I don’t think the banks get it,” he said yesterday. “We are very worried about their behaviour. They are not acting in the national interest."
Well, there we have it. Vince Cable admits to being a Fascist, in the true and literal meaning of the term.
Straight out of the Benny M playbook.
The (asymmetrical) Art of War.
I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor, dumb bastard die for his country.
-misattributed (in the movie) to General George S Patton but very much the sort of thing that hard chargin’ sonofabitch might have said judging by [...]
