LAND OF THE DINOSAURS

There are three separate stories in the paper at the moment, which might not seem linked but, which, in fact, are. The first is Jeremy Clarkson being sacked from the BBC. Many folk are up in arms about it and over a million people have signed a petition to have him kept on. They keep banging on about how Top Gear is one of the BBC's most popular programmes and how it's a huge moneyspinner, being sold to various countries overseas. It seems that punching somebody in the mouth and verbally abusing him is perfectly acceptable; as long as you're bringing the money in. No doubt they'd all feel the same way if some guy sat in the pub all evening after work and battered his wife because she'd gone to bed instead of waiting to make his dinner!

I've never been a fan of Top Gear, even back in the days of Michael Rodd and Angela Rippon. I'm just not that interested in cars. I made the mistake of watching the modern version once; three old, middle-class blokes pretending to be cool with their shite about fast cars etc. I found it quite sad and pathetic, really. But there's no accounting for taste and the three sad, old fuckers are extremely popular, as the massive petition proves. Surely these folk can see, however, that it doesn't matter how popular you are, you can't get away with just lashing out at people. To some of us there are more important things than money; common decency for one!

In a seemingly unconnected story, the Daily Record has been crying over the plight of our poor publicans, who have been hit hard by the new law on drinking and driving. Instead of downing a pint or two at lunchtime, as they used to, folk are avoiding the pub altogether. Not only that, but they're not hitting the pub after work either and if they do, they're drinking a lot less than they used to, worried about the alcohol showing up in their bloodstream when they drive to work the next morning. It's getting so serious that many pubs have had to lay off staff and there's concern that some might to have to close down. Obviously this is something that we should all be up in arms about; as far as the Daily Record is concerned at any rate. How dare that nasty Scottish Government take the food out of the mouths of our hard-working publicans!

On the other hand, according to the police, there were a lot fewer arrests for drunk-driving over the Festive period and a lot fewer accidents as well. No doubt the Record will be complaining that doctors, nurses and paramedics are losing their jobs because of these selfish bastards that aren't drinking and almost killing themselves and others! Presumably they think we should all be drinking as much as we want before getting behind the wheel. After all, we've got to think of the economy. 

And then we come to Bisto FC. Neil Lennon has now been dragged into toeing the party line that we need Rangers (sic) 'back' into the top league for the good of Scottish football. It's the same argument we've had to listen to from the agnivores for the past couple of years. It doesn't matter how many people were diddled out of their money, or how much tax wasn't paid; all that's important is that we get more folk through the turnstiles. Mind you, considering how The Peeppul are always going on about how it's everybody else's fault and they're going to get their revenge, it's debatable whether they would actually turn up at away games anyway. Still, we've got to think of the economy.

Obviously there are some folk that can't understand that money isn't everything. And that's not the only thing that connects these three stories. The same chauvinism runs through them all. To the ones signing the petition about Clarkson, their hero embodies everything they miss about the 'good' old days. They're the kind of xenophobic, racist arseholes that think Britannia should still be ruling the waves and that Johnny Foreigner should know his place. You know the type; the kind that'll say, "I believe in calling a spade a spade," and then disingenuously claim that they're talking about a gardening implement.

It's the same with the drink-driving law. Exactly the same right-wing shiteheads will go on about 'nanny states' and the like. The Government shouldn't be legislating for how we behave. And not only that; Scotland's new law brings us into line with other European countries. Now, there's a red rag to a bull. Mention 'Europe' to these people and they'll start foaming at the mouth and gibbering things about 'Britain First' and 'UKIP'. Who cares how many lives are saved? All that matters is that we're being dictated to by Johnny Foreigner yet again.

It's easy to see where The Peeppul come into all this. Scotland, to its shame, has one UKIP MEP. It doesn't take a genius to figure out who voted for him. Again it's Johnny Foreigner to blame for all their woes, in the shape of Irish Catholics and their descendants. It's all been an evil conspiracy by the 'Fenians' to destroy their club and their 'way of life'. Even Europe is in on it; they won't do a thing about Celtic's 'state aid', even though The Peeppul know, for an absolute fact, that it's been going on for years.

So three stories, which at first appear separate but which are interconnected. The right-wing racists in the UK are fighting a rearguard action against the modern world. They can't believe that everyone they hate is being treated as an equal and they can't understand it either. Much better to transpose their own twisted view of the world onto others and see it all as a conspiracy against their 'values' and 'way of life'. If they had their way we'd still have slavery and be sending children up chimneys!

An example of this was on display at Hampden last night. A crowd of bigots, under the guise of supporting the Northern Ireland football team, came to Glasgow to sing about their hatred of Catholics. Incredibly, our media thought this not worth mentioning. No doubt there'll be no mention of it in today's papers either. Despite what they might say to the contrary, this silence is tantamount to condoning the bigotry; in fact, more than that, it's collusion. If you have the nerve to complain about it then you're condemned as being part of the problem and being as bad as the ones singing. As I said, they're fighting a rearguard action and transposing their twisted way of looking at things onto the rest of us.

Of course, there's humour in any situation if you care to look for it and it was there last night. Like most bigots, those ones don't understand irony and would be singing with a perfectly straight face. Me? I thought it was funny that a shower, whose families have lived in Ireland for a few hundred years but they still pretend to be Scottish, were over in Scotland telling me that I should 'go home'!

Finally, I see somebody heeded my call and another review has gone up on Amazon. Any chance of some more? The page has been infiltrated by Union-Flag-waving huns, slagging my book off even thought they haven't read it. I could do with some support here, folks!





"Hello, playmates! It's your old pal, Big-Hearted Bill Struth again. You know, things were a lot easier back in my day. Everybody knew their place and if any foreign scum wanted to start trouble we'd soon be over there to sort them out. Well, some of us had to stay in the shipyards to hold the jackets, but you know what I mean. And there was no such thing as drink-driving laws or breathalysers back then. If the police were to stop you when you were driving, there would be no bother whatsoever, especially if you were wearing a Rangers tie and masonic cuff-links! And, of course, if I turned up anywhere without a hot meal to tuck into, the one responsible would receive a punch in the mouth faster than you can say 'Man overboard'! Ah, things were simpler then, but a lot better for it. Ayyyyyyyythenkyaowwwwww!"

    3. What is me being married or have a partner got to do with it ? ..... are you suggesting because I don't agree with calling them "sad old fuckers" then I must be a wife beater ? That statement alone says a lot more about you than me ;)

    4. The fact that you failed to criticize Clarkson for attacking the IRISH producer AND CALLING HIM A THICK IRISH C**T and the only thing you see is offensive is pat saying Clarkson is an old fucker says more about you as i says i hope you are not marred or have a partner for there sake now run along and read the article before you start foaming at the mouth zombie where it clearly states that clarkson verbally abused the Irish producer by calling him a thick Irish c**t try and at least have a bit of an understanding of the story before you make yourself look more stupid

    5. LOL there you go again making YOURSELF look stupid ... assuming I'm a zombie ? I've never seen the reports where he was slagging him for being Irish ... show me them, where can I find them?. I don't need to critize him for what he did/didn't do , I think he's paid for what he has done. You ever had a dust up at work with anyone? I would guess most folk have , but they don't lose their jobs or get the attention that Jeremy Clarkson did. Going by your response to me I reckon you're a bitter twisted little individual. Peace be with you and I pray you see sense ;)

    6. I've never had a dust-up at work because I know I'd be out the door as soon as I raised my fists. Even when I was constantly bullied by someone I refused to rise to the bait, as I know he wanted me to. As for attention: if you don't want it then don't seek it.

    7. I suppose it comes down to what job you're in ... I've seen many scuffles at work ... no one ever got sacked for it ( building trade).

    1. question ...... what makes you better than the "zombies" ? The hatred you have toward them is no different to the hatred they have towards you , so what makes you a better man ?

      Delete
    2. The difference is they hate everyone that is not like themselves; we hate them for their hatred.

      Delete
    3. and how does that make you a better man ? ... the lord tells us to love your enemy. Hate is hate which ever excuse you use to justify it doesn't make it right =)

      Delete
    4. And just who is your 'enemy' that you love so much? If we don't hate things like poverty, injustice and bigotry then how are things ever going to change? Of course, you probably don't want change - 'Rich man in his castle, poor man at the gate' and all that, eh?

      Delete
  5. I don't hate anyone and have no enemies ;). The rich man has his castle because you let him have it, through fear you give into the system at work in society today. Just say no reclaim your god given rights =)

    1. Make up your mind. One minute you're on here defending a pathetic, right-wing, racist bully like Clarkson and now suddenly you're a socialist revolutionary!

    2. I haven't defended him for what he has/hasn't done. I merely pointed out the fact you were going on about decency when you started slagging the 3 of them . Read what I wrote before you start trying to puts words in my mouth bud ;)

    1. well blow me down ... it must be true , after all the paper tells us that what he said . That must mean that Rangers didn't get liquidated and they are still the same club then, after all that's what the press tells us eh . So you choose which stories to believe the press tell you ?... personally I don't read any of them because they are all full of shite to be honest ;)

      Delete
    2. Yet you choose to argue with ppl about a story in the press and go on to accuse me of talking shite and by the way it is stated in the official BBC report so I am pretty sure that the BBC inquiry didn't make it up especial after clarkson admitted he said it and reported himself to the BBC you really are making your self look stupid to come on hear and comment on the clarkson story then admit you didn't read the story so why comment on it then accuse me of being a bitter twisted little individual when all I was saying was the truth about what happened to the Irish producer

      Delete
  7. Looks like we have a site idiot pat someone who thinks it OK to go round hitting people at work and then goes on to argue with people about stories in the press without reading the story first LOL even the daily record printed the story that the guy was called a thick Irish c**t the BBC have also published it in the investigation report. But in saying that I have yet to come across a bisto fc fan that is not thick the poor wee zombie mr anonymous just dose not get it dose he.
    He will be telling us next that rangers fc did not go into liquidation in 2012

    2. once again you assume I'm a Sevco fan . Sorry to disappoint your twisted logic but I used to wear the green and white mate up until the Sevco circus started. I class myself only as a Celtic fan now and not a supporter. If you're ok with Celtic not saying a word about the crap that's went on and Peter Lawell only coming out with a joke about Rory Bremner pretending to be Tony Blair then more fool you for taking it . ps ... did I say that I was involved in scuffles at work? no .. I said I've seen many , but hey hoy , that doesn't suit your twisted agenda does it ... peace be with you mate ;)

      Delete
    3. LOL sorry pat

      Delete
    4. Celtic is currently investigating the sevco goings on and the fact that rangers where allowed to compete in the CL when at the time owed money to HMRC for the so called we tax case which is against the SFA and UEFA rules which if had been applied rangers should have been band from all UEFA competitions the investigation is called resolution 12 Celtic fc has stated that the investigation is kept in house and private to protect the staff and fans rep from death threats from sevco fans until the investigation is complete but you being a Celtic fan you would know this mr anonymous .
      ps did you read the link I posted for you about the verbal attack from clarkson on the IRISH producer being called a thick Irish c**t or are you not man enough to admit I was right after you accused me of talking shite

      Delete
  8. I never said he didn't say it , as I stated earlier I just pointed out the irony of questioning the common decency of some one , then calling ALL 3 of them sad old f******. Did James May/Richard Hammond do anything ?. Ps Do you honestly believe what you just wrote about keeping their investigations in house for safety reasons?. I don't buy it myself, there will be an element of truth in it , but personally if you don't think that PL has put the £ signs first before morals then I'm afraid you're only fooling yourself . pps might not be PL , it might be DD , either way money talks first and fore most to these folks ;)

    1. mr anonymous are you saying the Celtic fans that are involved in res 12 are liars as res 12 is a mix of Celtic fans and Celtic fc representatives I know the Celtic fans involved I am 100% happy they are telling me the truth and it is common sense that it is in house as we all no what the scum element of sevco fans can do with there death threats and bombs in the post. Speaking of sevco I c that they are trading insolvent as there new accounts have been released reported pre-tax losses of £2.6m for the past six months and that is after the MA lone of 5m
