Doing Bird

Chickens are not so much coming home to roost as shiteing all over the conservatory. The Tower of London's mythical Ravens are being cooped up to ward against HN51, and the tabloid press has taken to talk of 'the national flock'. What the flock's that?

Hilarious statements like "the national flock should be brought indoors" are kicking about (The Express). Er, we've industrialised food and the 'national flock' is caged in factories and rarely sees natural light. I think they're maybe 'indoors-enough' guys. Do they imagine pinnied-maids shooing clucking chucks back into the barn to ward against that bad foriegn disease?

Speaking of being banged-up, sad news indeed about poor old David Irving, lightened only by the word that prosecutors are considering upping the sentence from 3 to 10 years. Not so much the Eagle Has Landed as Tweety-Pie ("I tot I thaw you do that!") Oh well, all's well that ends well Dave. In 2000 he told the High Court in London: "I'm going to form an association of Auschwitz Survivors, Survivors of the Holocaust and Other Liars, or the ASSHOLS." Hmm. Who's the asshole now?

Still, I liked the suggestion that one option he has is that he could just imagine that the prison he's going to just doesn't exist...could never of existed...

Irving may be an asshole but should your comments not be against a state that can throw you in the nick for denying something happened. How about denying the virgin birth, and all that crap and finding yourself inside? Its all about control not truth, about forcing their view down your throat. When did telling fibs or being blind to facts become an offence that carries a prison sentence?
