The Wire
I will be the first to say that British TV is probably the worst to grace our personal space and that TV Licensing should be thrown out with the labour government, however its seems that someone somewhere may have got something a little right. The past few weeks BBC 2 have been showing The Wire, this US cop drama is the best that I have ever seen and even though I watched its complete series months ago I can help but watch it all again. The best part is that its been on every night of the week and looks to continue as it starts another series, so if you yet to watch this awesome show catch the next series in a couple of weeks it well worth the watch. Here is a classic scene with McNulty and Bunk.
It's Official
In a week of stating the obvious it was announced that we are officially in Recession, after easily 8 months of media bombardment of the economic downfall not just in the UK but around the world some clown who is probably being paid hundreds of thousands of pounds by the tax payer has made the official declaration that its here. Well blow me down I wouldn’t have guessed, I mean when was the final box ticked that indicated this was happening and do they wait till that very moment when the banks are empty and their own houses are taken from beneath them. Bummer Brown seems to think its all ok and we will be fine, “go out and spend” he continues to say while sticking he head in the sand or up some fellas arse what ever takes his fancy. The Boy Cameron says the country is on its way to bankruptcy what with plans to pay out a further £200 billion to save the fat cats, I wonder where this money comes from. £50 billion last year, VAT cuts and high unemployment I kind of think that things are not going to be ok and that maybe we need to have some one who is a little less delusional about our current situation.
On a different subject I was extremely surprise with the BBC in refusing to air the appeal and rightly so. The BBC should look to all its viewers and stand completely intermediate and not take sides. I’m surprised by the BBC in doing this but as even more start to shout and condemn them, will they buckle? There was no surprise however to see the Archbishop of Canterbury criticising them, what does he stand for again?
Where is the punch line??
There has always been an issue of how far comedians go to make a joke, offensive, bigitory and lewd jokes always cause a stir. I mean i love all the old comedians like Roy Chubby Brown, Jethro, Billy Connelly and Les Dawson are some of my favourites. However it comes to something when an over paid, over rated long haired floosy (Jonathan Ross) humiliates a 72 year old comedy genius on live Radio for a cheap laugh. Moreso who gave Russell Brand a slot on Radio 2 anyway?
