Daily Mail is known for its pandering to a certain demographic and estimating that there are 6 billion immigrants living in England AT THIS VERY MOMENT IN TIME, and they are all out to steal YOUR job. Yes, you, the highly trained technician in a specialised job. But anyway, onto the article which gives away all its coming content in the title: “An A-Z guide to the PC madness blighting modern Britain”. That PC madness! I mean promoting tolerance and good nature towards each other, what fucking insanity!

Let us look at a few choice paragraphs:

While the Crown Prosecution Service can always be relied on to prosecute you if you use racist language, show signs of homophobia or defend yourself against burglars breaking into your home, it appears hugely reluctant to bring cases against genuine criminals.

Racism? Homophobia? Seriously injuring or killing other members of the human species? Forget that, go after the proper criminals! Blacks and Asians and those left-wing fucking hippies! I could imagine James frothing at the mouth in rage as sparks flew from his fingertips on the keyboard, I am actually very scared at this point to know what sort of fascist paradise James Delingpole would like this country to become. But this is just the tip of his insane, white, middle class only iceberg.

Let us move onto “D”, yes that’s right, Mr. Delingpole is going to take a pop at “Diversity”.

It’s also why, if you apply for any kind of state funding for your church hall, cricket pavilion or bowling clubhouse, you won’t get it – because the people who would benefit don’t press the correct ‘diversity’ buttons.

This had me laughing quite a bit because it seems Mr. Delingpole can’t help but fall into the same old bigot stereotype. Everything is a conspiracy against the white middle class. I wouldn’t be surprised if he thought the British Empire was a good thing and would probably give me a good slap across the face for not saying “Great” in front of “Britain”. James doesn’t like all conspiracy theories though, oh no, only the ones that fall into his single minded hatred. For example…

E IS FOR ENVIRONMENTALISM Bossy new-world religion based on the self-flagellating principle that unless we seriously inconvenience ourselves by giving up, or paying enormous taxes for the privilege of enjoying, all 21st-century comforts, from air travel to central heating, we will be personally responsible for destroying planet Earth.

Global warming is a big fat lie! All the scientists are lying! This one is so predictably rubbish I’m not even going to bother to take it apart.

But it just gets worse and worse and worse:

G IS FOR GERMANS, THE
Supposedly our military allies. And now look at them. ‘Nein.

Ve cannot commit more zen five soldiers und a pea-shooter to Afghanistan – even though ve are members of Nato und ought to be damned grateful for ze privilege’.

And don’t even get me started on The French…

Sad to think people actually think that is comedy. Jim Davidson anyone?

And on Ken Livingston:

cuddling up to Left-wing reactionaries such as the Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez – a man who describes George Bush as being ‘like Hitler’?

Now I don’t know if that would be a compliment judging on the views carried by James Delingpole. Himself and Hitler would probably get on quite well. But I assume it’s an insult based on the fact that Hitler was Austrian and therefore not English and therefore promoting diversity, THE SCUMBAG. Thank fuck for Hugo Chavez.

James goes on to say:

Surely, the whole point of having been born in Britain, rather than, say, Kim II Sung’s North Korea, is that crackpot personality cults like this ought to be a distant nightmare?

The irony inside that is killing me. Someone install some mirrors in Mr. Delingpole’s house.

The old Daily Mail favourite makes a comeback, with large stereotyping of Albanians all being gangsters.

Immigration is spinning out of control and not even the Home Office has the faintest idea how many illegals have entered the country but, at last, the Government has a plan.

you can just imagine those Albanians saying. “I was planning on coming to England to set up a new gangster network.

James Delingpole even kindly makes a list of people who now have victim groups, he also kindly makes it obvious he plainly doesn’t like them.

women, ethnic minorities, the disabled, non-Christians, the elderly and homosexuals.

Thankfully Mr. Delingpole describes himself in a small sentence that surprisingly and honestly sums him up.

I’m stupid and easily led.

Yes James! You are! And so is your whole reader base! Thank you for that, saves me a lot of trouble. Please feel pity for James, and those Daily Mail readers shouting along with him. However, most of all, feel pity for the state of British journalism.

Here’s a link to the article, have a good laugh.

The Incitement to Religious Hatred Bill last year created a lot of controversy on what could be said and what couldn’t. Anyone who has there finger on the pulse of what insane laws parliament tries pass through should know all about this one. However, I’m not here to rant about what is good and what is bad but to rather show you two things related to this bill or created in direct response to it.

The first is a rather good debate held at the Guardian Hay Festival last year on blasphemy between warmonger Christopher Hitchens and insanely articulate Stephen Fry. (Maybe I’ve let my allegiances show a bit early here, but Mr Hitchens does make a good point, maybe two)
Anyway you can download the whole thing by clicking here. It’s 78mins long, but just to hear the speech/rant at the end from Stephen is worth the whole download.

The second thing you should have looked at when it was on was comedian Stewart Lee’s “Don’t Get Me Started”. A very funny one off about blasphemy that is also very intelligent at the same time, but expect nothing less from the seasoned funnyman. You can only find it on youtube now but take a look anyway by clicking here That is the first part of 6 parts, so make sure you look at all of them.

Enjoy.

This particular rant (and probably many others in the future) will be about religion and also about charity. Before people lose their rag however it is not some super controversial anti-charity post by a therefore obvious God hating, evil sub-human. Though if you do think like that I hope I will change the way your scary mind work. Am I aiming too high there?

Charity in a perfect world would not be needed, but in our world it looks like it always will be. Although charity could be seen as just helping a friend in need, I am talking more of the non-profit organizations working for the benefit of other fellow humans across the globe. Just donating to a charity is a simple and easy way to show you do care about those who are less fortunate than yourself and are making an effort to readdress this situation. Of course I shouldn’t have to remind anyone about this, nor should I need to remind anyone that using charity to boost others opinion of yourself is an abhorrent act of selfishness that spits in the face of a usually selfless act.

So this leads me quite nicely on to religious charities. To the western world this more often than not comes in the form of Christian charities, who place the name of their faith usually at the front. Now the question I ask myself and hopefully those who read this is: Why is this case? Why do these organizations, who largely do fantastic work around the globe, need to trumpet the fact that they are Christians? I would argue it is because they would like to try and effect peoples’ opinions of Christians. To create an image of the giving Christian that does good for the world. And maybe even more seriously, show Christianity having a practical and positive effect on the world. Personally I believe this is a mockery of what charity should be and I couldn’t care how much money is given or how much good work is done if the sum of it is to provide a foothold for religion in poorer countries. These religious charities may not even set about specifically to do any of this but that doesn’t change the fact that it is still used as ammunition by the more malicious of their followers against those who do not believe in God as proof that religion provides better moral guidance. This only proves to create more mistrust and conflict and even sending atheists to try and prove they are just as charitable by forming groups and taking pictures or recording what charitable events they have taken part in, resulting in nothing more than a cycle of people trying to prove an irrelevant point and forgetting why charity exists in the first place.

I would say charity is a wholly personal affair that shouldn’t be used to prove anything to anyone but maybe assure yourself of your own morals. I would definitely argue for all charities to be secular if only to remove this absurd showing off.

So that is the end of that rant then, cheers for reading it (if you did read it and have not just skipped to this bit). Next time I’ll have some far more interesting and light-hearted stuff on blasphemy, and it also won’t be my own work so it’s probably going to be better. Oh, and if anyone tells me “I don’t really care what grinds your gears.” I’ll be forced to write a rant on how ****ing stupid they are.
