Bowie
mania: Is it safe to admit the only performance I recall is that
of him and Jagger doing a not-very-good, gay version of Dancing in
the Street? Or will I be hung, drawn and quartered by the Twitter
mob of imbeciles with voices?
Pedophilia:
I've said a few times that there's media mania around this in the UK,
like there is around gender violence in Spain. Which is not to say
either of them is defensible, of course. Here's an article on the
former from today's Daily Telegraph.
Galicia: Here's
a nice video about this region of Spain, the one in which I live.
Sadly, it's in Gallego/Galego. So even the Spanish speakers among you may
not be able to understand it all. Or any of it, in fact. If you
could, there'd be no point in learning both languages, would there?
The
estimable Rod Liddle – an obstreperous chap, if ever there were one
– has this to say today about the
International Athletics Association, FIFA and
the International Olympics
Committee:- Appointing
allegedly corrupt and greedy Third Worlders on the make is an
expression of our noble determination, in the developed world, to
democratise sport and ensure places like Africa don’t feel horribly
left out. Look at Fifa, football’s governing body — loads of
them, charged with trousering as much cash as they can get their
grubby little hands on. Regarding the Olympics, it’s your call as
to whether corrupt Third Worlders are better or worse than the people
whitey used to put in charge; the IAAF and International Olympics
Committee have been led by unrepentant fascists, Nazi
collaborationists, Francoist panjandrums and the like. So, your call.
On
the new UK media obsession with transgender issues, Rod has this
to say:- According to Maria
Miller MP, chairbabe of the Commons select committee on
virtue-signalling idiocies (or women and equalities, I forget which),
600,000 people are in some way unsure of their gender. I am not sure
if this hilariously inflated number includes morbidly obese citizens
who have not seen their own genitals for years and may have forgotten
what type they had. My own guess at the number of
genuinely gender-confused people in the UK is 20. But soon there will
be transgender lavatories on every high street to cater for this
small proportion of our population. Can
he be far wrong?
