Oh, FFS people...

Well, the BBC seem to be jumping on the "the child-murdering Philpotts were psycho murderers because they belonged to a social subculture I think is a bit weird" bandwagon, in this case polyamory. Which the BBC writer appears to get totally wrong, as does their rent-a-quote scientist, and as did the Philpotts. Go read The Ethical Slut or, hell looking on Wikipedia would have given them better results... Luckily there's a better balanced article setting things right here- http://www.rarelywearslipstick.com/2013/04/feminism-friday-media-research-and-poly/ (which also includes a link to the original Hate Mail style tabloid journalism at the BBC's Berkshire website. Berks, says it all...

No, the Philpotts didn't kill their kids as a product of being poly, or being on benefits, they did it because they were murderous psychos, really...

The "Grand" National?

Hm, I see the Aintree weekend has managed to kill two horses already, and slaughter of the Grand National still isn't until this afternoon.... (would you be surprised to hear I think it should be at least reformed a lot, if not ended?) I'm just surprised it's not sponsored by Tesco, Aldi and Iceland this year...

Hey, maybe George Osborne was *right* to park in a disabled bay

I mean, the completely fucking brain-damaged attitude he's displaying towards basic arithmetic and economics suggests he probably *is* seriously mentally disabled...

(Actually you can see in the pictures that it's his security guy/driver who's actually parked there, but that just means they're doing as bad a job as he is, by drawing attention to themselves and their charge)

Watching The Professionals, and...

The Madness of Mickey Hamilton is *so* the best Professionals episode - it's a somewhat different twist on the format's plot, and the antagonist is given such depth and is uniquely sympathetic for this series.

Dr Who this week,..

DW was fab. Triggered again though, fuck it.
