AAARRRGGGHHH!!! It's "Rule, Britannia"!!!! RUN AWAY!!!!
RIP Chris Penn.
Having some pretty comical problems with this shitbox computer at the moment. There's plenty I want to bitch about - and, rather less plausibly, there was also something I wanted to remark on as being something Tony Blair was suggesting that I heartily endorsed, but I can't remember it. But I'm mostly trying to fix my computer.
Also, of course, there was Gordon Brown weighing in on the pathetic decision to scrap the UK Theme that takes up three minutes of Radio 4 airtime at fucking 5.30am and replace it with ... the same thing we get for the next three and a half hours: a news summary. Clearly the idiot controller of Radio 4, whose name is something ridiculous but appropriate like Mark Dazzling-Stupidity, is terrified of broadcasting anything that remotely smacks of dangerous, seditious stuff like a folk-memory. Naturally, as the instigator of the present fatuous debate on Britishness (subtitled "Which Includes Gordon, Don't Forget!"), Brown has come out in support of the UK Theme, which makes this a somewhat momentous day: their slippery, questionable motives aside, I stand today in support of something said by not only Tony Blair (which I still can't remember) but also, horrifyingly, Gordon Brown. Still, cheer up. He's fucked the economy seven ways from Sunday. We can get back to hating him tomorrow. In the meantime, go here and sign the petition. It's OK to be proud of the past.
