What do we, as a society, have against prostitution? Why do so many have so much against it?

1. We all sell parts of ourselves for money, the only question is which part.
2. At least with prostitution you get what you pay for, unlike many other business (say my car mechanic, or the new toy I just bought for my kids last week)
3. In many other businesses you feel that you got f__d (last night’s restaurant, for instance). When you pay a prostitution, you are the one doing the f__ing.

So let’s recognise prostitution for what it is; an honest trade where you get what you pay for. As such, let’s introduce certificates, health checks and quality awards. Maybe then we will be able to fight the horrendous crimes of human trafficking and modern-day slavery.

Can anyone tell me what it means that Northern Rock will be bought into ‘public ownership’? Does it mean that I, as part of the public, become an owner? Can I get dividend when the bank starts making money? Can I go in, as an owner, whenever I want and withdraw my share? Can I sell my part and buy a candy shop instead?

What a misnomer; what a spin!

All it really means is that they will use my money to buy something I cannot use or enjoy. And some still claim that the capitalist democratic world is what we should impose on our neighbors.

Blind leading the blind?

If you still don’t know what the subprime crisis is all about. Here you go

I can’t help but taking this statement as the clearest acknowledgement so far that our education system has failed, and that we do not believe that any English person can speak a foreign language well enough to want to marry anyone who can’t speak English. Also, no English person can be smart enough (they wouldn’t otherwise have elected such a government, would they?) to be able to go overseas, get married there and come back.

Just to be clear, it’s not citizenship we are talking about, it’s marriage. And I love it. Now all we need to do is to expand and add a few more items to this suggested legislation:

1. Any person who can’t show he or she can’t work will not be entitled to unemployment benefits
2. Any person who can’t show basic knowledge of what’s happening in this world will not be allowed to vote
3. Any person who can’t show a bit of decency will not be allowed to become a politician, lawyer an accountant, or a member of our society (as Australia is already taken, lets send them all to Iraq)
4. And the most important of all; any person who cannot show love, care and compassion will not be allowed to have kids.

Welcome to a brave new England

From mid April you can get bird food really cheaply. When I inquired why that was, I was told that people here tend to stop feeding the wild bird with the first signs of spring. That is, mid Feb. So if you are not aware, this is the lowest time for wild food. Insects are not out yet in any significant number; there are no new seeds and fruit yet, and the autumns’ are at their very end. This is also the time that birds start nesting and need the food the most.

So please, keep feeding the birds for another month. They need it.

This is a great initiative Boris, but can you start with the heavy criminals: rapist, armed robbers, and the like, as they are the ones that worry me and my family the most.

Mistakes made in Afghanistan and Iraq must not deter Britain’s efforts to foster global democracy, said David Miliband.

David, we are all behind you, but can we please start fostering global democracy here at home, and only then move to Afghanistan?

I don’t know what do you do when you wake up on Sunday morning and discover that the weather is absolutely gorgeous? We decided to take the family and go outdoors to build dens.

Took about an hour of construction

Not so impressive from the outside, but after all, isn’t this the essence of a den?

But really causy inside

Guys, don’t feel too privileged. No. 10 ignores everyone across the board. There is nothing special about you.

This is only a few weeks after they hailed the pilot and claimed that they had not even been aware that a crash happened until they left the plane.

Not that I mind if anyone sues BA (and if they send me some of the proceeds I will even blog a thank you posting for them). But doesn’t it all seem as if some vulture lawyers do the stir up? Let’s send them to Iraq, lots of stirring opportunities there, I hear.

In return, the GP association decided to publish confidential medical information, conclusively proving that ministers suffer from spinlessolosis (lack of spine syndrome), and are therefore unfit to take part in any activity that involves sittings, standing or lying down or lying.

Nuclear clean up cost hit £73bn, was reported merely a few weeks after the government promised that 'Taxpayers will pay nothing to go nuclear'

Will it be only future investment in nuclear energy that will not cost anything?

Will we leave the nuclear waste in place once the private companies bail out when it become too expensive.

Will they handle it the same way the handle the trains?

In here I don’t mean to express any opinion here about nuclear energy (maybe some other time). I'm definitely trying to express how fed up I am of being constantly legally lied to.

Can’t we make official deceit illegal, with a mandatory jail term in Baghdad?

Yesterday it took me nearly three hours to go back home after work, instead of the normal 40 minutes ride. It was just another one of those train signal failure that forced me to take an underground to a different line, which will then take me to a place from which I could take a bus to a place walking distance from home.

Unfortunately it’s not a rare occasion. Unfortunately, I know I won’t get compensated for the extra time or money I had to spend. Unfortunately, no one at work today agreed to put any money against me that such an occurrence will not happen again within a months.

The entire concept of privatisation of monopolies makes no sense to me. But this is not surprising as I am neither a supporter of capitalism nor partyocracy. So I would appreciate if someone who believes in our system can explain how it really works. Because all I can see is how most people pay for some fat bustards to get richer.

• Tax payers pay tax to the government, which build the train infrastructure for the benefit of the tax payers.

• The government decide they are more concerned with quick money (to pay for democratically voted for Iraq war, for instance) so they forget that the tax payers paid for the train, and decide to sell it to the fat-cash-cow milking company that pay the highest bribes. (By the way, is it really legal for a government to sell something that belongs to the public?)

• The fat-cow milkmen who borrowed the money to buy the cash cow, is now committed only to its shareholders. But this is easy as they have a monopoly, and if commuters and service is not on their agenda, all they need to do is take apart, destroy, under invest, and squeeze.

• The utterly unhappy commuters are not good news before elections so the government take the mandate away from the company, but leave them with the profits. After all it wasn’t public property anymore when they destroyed it.

• The government now find a skinny cash-cow milking company.

Am I the only one who feels that it sounds like the old feudalist system, or am I missing anything?
