Two facebook updates this evening have pissed me off
The first is a link to a hatchet job article about the new Enterprise Zones from someone who detests everything the coalition government does on principal. The second is someone laughing disdainfully at the protesters who exercised their democratic right to protest and failing to tell the difference between them and the minority of "anarchist" twats who covered their faces and vandalised shops.

What is it about this country and needing to be so tribalistic about politics? Why do people have to defend half of all politicians to the hilt while proclaiming the other half are all the worst shower of cunts imaginable?

I don't think it would take Mystic Meg to tell you the Tropicana is essentially fucked
especially as long as that Welsh twat runs the council. They fucked about for so long they've basically priced everybody out of the market.

"Oh, you've met all our demands? Well done you. Did we mention we need the building to be able to fly as well?"

It's going to end up as a council office or something. Or a drug rehabilitation centre.

I remember going there on a regular basis as a kid.
Long before it became the Tropicana too, they used to have massive diving boards before the introduction of the 'Pineapple' slide!

There was a march, which was the same as most others before it. Dignified yet impotent, and full of women like lovely Joy, and kids in prams.
And there was a breakaway mongy riot for twats, in Oxford Street, who did little else but shake up customers and poor staff on minimum wage. Well done fucking mongs. Stickin it to Da Man, there.
