Day XV

 

Aleppo and two-faced hacks

The stories coming out of Aleppo in recent days have been little short of horrifying. Those responsible for the atrocities are not so much a different religion as a different species.
With that in mind, can somebody please explain why some of the English press want their readers to be outraged at this, saying "something must be done", when this self-same sorry excuse of journalism campaigned in favour of Brexit, in favour of stopping immigration, kicking out the foreigners, "taking back control", and - oh look - today the big thing is Muslim-only parts of Paris where women can't go.
You know what? Angela Merkel might have been somewhere between naïve and delusional when she threw open the doors of her country to Syrian asylum seekers (any cynical jaded fart would have been able to predict half a continent walking through those open doors); but her heart was in the right place. Or, to be more blunt, she might have made a mistake in the degree of openness, but at least she was bloody doing something, not sitting on their fat arses spreading lies, hate, bigotry, and racism to boot. And for God's sake Daily Fail, learn what those wibbly red marks underneath words mean.

As of February 2025, commenting is no longer available to UK residents, following the implementation of the vague and overly broad Online Safety Act. You must tick the box below to verify that you are not a UK resident, and you expressly agree if you are in fact a UK resident that you will indemnify me (Richard Murray), as well as the person maintaining my site (Rob O'Donnell), the hosting providers, and so on. It's a shitty law, complain to your MP.
It's not that I don't want to hear from my British friends, it's because your country makes stupid laws.
