This is a link post 5 covers, 5 decades, 5 weeks.
This girl is going to cover a song from 5 decades over the next five weeks.

It is not an enormous undertaking, but it looks interesting and her earlier stuff has been good.

Not to take anything away from the lady, good for her and i'm sure she is very good. But if she joined a band she might find herself having to cover over 20 songs a night. Weekly. With people throwing beer at her.

This is a link post Judge who jailed children in a kids-for-cash scam sentenced to 28 years
"After the public was made aware of the scandal, the Supreme Court threw out roughly 4,000 convictions that were passed down by Ciavarella over five years. According to them, the judge violated the constitutional rights of juvenile defendants by denying them legal counsel. Ciavarella is said to have had youngsters hauled off without allowing them to offer a defense during their trials."

Privitised prisons huh? who'da thought they would conspire with a judge to make a bigger profit.

Near the bottom of the article:

Rakesh Bhasin, a solicitor partner at the law firm Steel & Shamash, which represents some of those charged following the riots, said some reported sentences seemed to be "disproportionate".

rioting and looting: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-14549260 "Three men thought to be among the first in England to appear at crown court after last week's riots and looting have been jailed for up to two years."

The sentences are ridiculous.

This is a normal post 6 months for £8?
Seems more than harsh... I'm happy to see *any* criminal prosecuted, but anyone claiming that they nicked a 42" tv and a stack of trainers did it because they "had a right" to them, or as "a protest 'cos of taxes an' shit, innit" is basically an oxygen thief - especially as they're also the ones who are out every day causing the sorts of low level damage and shitty behaviour that generally lowers the quality of life of their unfortunate neighbours.

I am all for helping those that need it, but these little shits and their ilk basically don't want to work, join in with society or xo anything that require effort - they seem to think they have a "right" to live a consequence free lifestyle at the taxpayers expense. To tar the rest of the disadvantaged with the same brush is an insult to the decent habitants of those areas - the ones whose homes and businesses were destroyed; the ones who were out trying to stop the thugs and who were out cleaning up the debris.

My parents were never rich and my father grew up as one of nine children in a three bedroom council house after the war when there was *real* poverty and devastation, but his parents and his siblings worked when they could (bearing in mind his father had been deafened and had a plate in his head after being caught by a grenade in Norway) and made do with what they could afford - they were far more disadvantaged than the assholes who went on a rampage out of a sense of being owed a living, I'm certain.

(I helped save b3ta! scarpe We Stole Bikes, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 21:25, Reply)
This is a normal post Nope...
Three-bedroomed terraced house, as stated.

The point is that just because you are poor, it doesn't excuse thievery. Aside from basic shelter, food and freedom from abuse, no-one has a *right* to anything that they don't earn in some way. Banging out six kids by six different fathers, or actively avoiding work in order to live off the state, or smashing up the town because you ran out of credit on your £300 smartphone and your dole isn't due for a week is not acceptable behaviour. My point was that my grandparents did what they could to live a decent life, my father worked his way up to middle-classdom and bought his own home and raised me to work hard to earn the things I want.

In all fairness, under the previous government (who should take sole responsibility for the way the younger generation turned out, as it happened on their watch - they were in for 14 years, after all) created a climate where the actively workshy grew used to a standard of living that was unaffordable for the taxpayers, but also made them believe anything less was an attack on their human rights. They were taught that anyone pointing out that shoplifting, vandalism and happy-slapping was unacceptable were infringing their cool liberties and provided a legal system that cared more about the criminal's rights than those of the victim. The sentences are within the remit of the law an only appear harsh because we have grown used to news stories where some little moron steals, smashes and pillages their way round an estate and laughs on the way out of court after receiving community service and a visit from social services to see if he isn't stressed out by his ordeal.

If you break the law, you cannot be surprised to be punished for it - as the saying goes: if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. These morons weren't desperate people looting for food (as after Katrina hit New Orleans), these were assholes who thought that they could steal consumer goods and sell them on eBay with impunity.

I'm not saying some sort of punishment is not in order, but 4 years?
 (I helped save b3ta! scarpe We Stole Bikes, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 21:30, Reply)
This is a normal post Last time I looked..
Trying to incite a riot was a criminal activity, much like conspiring to commit murder. Idiots need to learn that saying "yay, other idiots are attacking the police, looting, vandalising and have killed innocent people - let's join in!" is unacceptable.

If you are trying to curry sympathy for these clowns, I think you are going to find it a very disappointing venture.

This is a link post Drunken Scottish Cooking - Spanish Omelette I made this!
I've got far too much time on my hands at the moment so this small idea ballooned into too much work really, but what the hell. I don't like how complicated cooking is for beginners, I don't like things that can go wrong easily or require a stressful timing regime. But I like cooking nice food.

So here is the first in a possible series of recipes that are simple enough to do while hammered.

I can hardly hear you at some points, next time, louder narration OR softer music.

And I do most of my best cooking p1$$3d so carry on the good work fella.

Sobriety and Non-Scottishness allowed. Encouraged even.

I used to live with a Spanish guy, Jesus, who cooked this damn thing every day. Myself and another flatmate (this one was French) used to say behind his back we thought it was weird - I'm therefore not surprised potatoes in an omelette isn't obvious. After a few attempts though it became my favourite meal.

She has to come out with this stuff to appeal to the 'flyover' states. It's the standard dog whistle issues, gays, guns, liberal conspiracies..

The problem is she can't go too far, because if she wins the nomination she has to be able to deny it all and try to look moderate. This is the fundamental problem that any Republican candidate faces these days.

...once had lunch at the Ivy with Starkey, and ran into Simon Schama, or it may have been the other way around.

Apparently the tension was excruciating, and for a moment he thought they were going to have a history off. It's like a dance-off, but with footnotes and sources.

This is a normal post In case there's still any doubt
Here's a nice blog entry about the notion that Jamaican Patois or any variety of English for that matter has anything to do with Starkey's issue.

I can't know about his abilities as a historian from this clip, but if he treats the subject anything like he treats questions about language, I hope he isn't still teaching anyone . :)

This is a normal post I know this could be unpopular but...
I find it concerning that people can be so wilfully ignorant as to the point Starkey may actually have been trying to make! Toby Young from the Telegraph defended him saying:

"Starkey wasn't talking about black culture in general, but, as he was anxious to point out, a 'particular form' of black culture, i.e. 'the violent, destructive, nihilistic, gangster culture' associated with Jamaican gangs and American rap music."

The person responsible for your link describes Starkey as a "moron" and that "white historians must have an innate intelligence deficit". I rather think that the "moron" is the one grossly misinterpreting Starkey's proposition in attempt to try and appear more intelligent than someone who gained a PhD and Fellowship from Cambridge University. On a blog.

Forget length, sorry for weight. Ummmm...KITTENS!!

This is a normal post Ru fo rizzle?
You seriously think that there's no connection between gangsta rap - a genre that has been accused of 'promoting violence, profanity, sex, homophobia, racism, and plenty more' - and gang violence? Seriously?

This is a link post Anyone fancy hacking the NoTW?
Being as I'm at work at can't. Huge document on parliaments website. See page 87 for a url, username, password of how to access their emails for purposes of legal review.

The url works, but given I'm at work and not behind a proxy I'm fairly loathe to try it myself.
