Thursday September 6th: Gordon's attempt to unify the biggest parties in British politics is coming back to haunt him already. The Tories, Liberal Democrats and of course The Labour Massive, have joined forces with the express purpose of railroading him into an EU referendum.
The bullet that Blair dodged.
If such a movement had been spawned in the final days of Blair's term - the parties would have foregone the democratic process and simply marched, mob-style, on Number 10 - torches and pitchforks in hand.
Add to this the introduction of a giant ballot box outside the House of Commons (representing the right of the British people to vote on the issue, apparently) and the 84,000 + signiatures that the Telegraph have collected, and it seems this one won't just quietly go away...
Gordon, according to The Times, has also joined the campaign to have additives taken out of food marketed to children. Kids today seem to have it really tough. If it's not the ADHD, it's the Ritalin. If it's not the Ritalin, it's obesity. In the 80's you were labelled hyperactive or fat and got on with it.
Run along Tubby/Shouty - Johnny Briggs is on.
Thanks to Jamie Oliver, there's a whole generation of kids that will never get to experience fish fingers washed down with blue Slush Puppy and Pop Rocks for dessert. *Clap*. *Clap*. *Clap*.
Prince punches in once again tonight. In the absence of any significant amount of news about Mr. Nelson, I trawled the net sampling a little modern culture this evening. What did I come up with?
Superman Dat Hoe.
Countless YouTube videos of BAPE wearing kids doing some dance, which is more than likely from Atlanta. I can't hate - it's just kids having a good time. Superman, away my friend. It's all good young'un - as long as you Superman Dat Maths Test.
Otherwise you'll end up Supersoaking Dat Floor At McDonalds.
And Cloverfield.
Cloverfield, Cloverfireld, Cloverfield.
I heard about the trailer around the time Transformers came out, but didn't get to see the it - Cheers, The Times Preview Screening... For those who haven't seen it - there's a bunch of kids having a going away party for their mate, which is interrupted by a news report. Then an explosion. Then something punts the Statue of Liberty's head into the middle of New York. I would love it to be a 400 foot tall George Bush, but that is unlikely.
Rumour has it the guy who's running the show, JJ Abrams of Lost fame, has set up a game involving websites which give clues as to what the film is about. It's guaranteed to have millions of people chasing their tails, in search of some sort of deeper meaning. A bit like Lost. I won't lie - the slusho site confused the hell out of me. The movie could be alright though...
