All right septics?
Gizajob!
About me: I get up, watch "Neighbours" and go back to bed.
(Well that was me for a few years until I was saved by the Duchess of Kent Day Centre)
If they brought back Jo Mangle I would consider redefecting to "Neighbours."
I've actually met Mark Little (who played Jo Mangle in "Neighbours" back in the halcyon days of the 1990s) and I said to him: "You were the only reason I watched that shite, mate."
He is a bonzer geezer - an awesome bloke - a peace campaigner and stuff!
Why Jo Mangle? He was the only credible character ever to appear on Neighbours. Feckless, questioning, confused, a bit of a rebel, unlike the advert glossy magazine world of the other characters. More like real life. In my view. And I fancied his girlfriend, Sky - can't remember who played her.

Cornflakes
I was watching television last night, like I do most nights.
In fact television seems to be my drug of choice at the moment and has been all my life really. I used to watch "Why don't you!" all through the school holidays and we never ever did as we were told and switched the fecking thing off. Now I feel like smashing the thing up really like my Dad has several times. Anyway. I was watching television last night and there was this chap visiting Copenhagen and in the context of visiting a group of people that made bikes he said "You're just like everyone really, you want to make money."
Now the thing that I want to say about this is that this general accepted belief that everyone wants to be rich and have a mansion, a swimming pool, fame, a chelsea tractor etc. is a lie. a) Many people do want to be rich and have wealth and houses and all that but that is principally because they are TAUGHT to want that. b) Many people believe that everyone thinks like that to the point that they almost think it is human nature to desire more and more wealth and things. This too is as a result of propaganda. All the desires are created. Both belief a) and b) are bollocks.
I will come back to this.

Cultural Christian at an Atheist Church
I think the concept of a cultural christian might be useful.
There are a lot of things I like about Christian culture and even one or two things I like about Christian belief but there are some things I just can't subscribe to.
And an atheist church is a useful idea because atheists need community too! And atheists might like singing too! Yes folks we're the atheist tabernacle choir!...
No one should have to believe anything. That's the only church I ever want to go into. One where I don't have to believe anything to receive a little bit of human kindness.....
That's enough sex, religion and politics.
Time for something else.

Non Ranting Blog
I have decided to try and write a blog where I don't rant. Now here is an interesting observation. You know how (or you may not know) that there are porn/sex chat lines advertised in a great deal of publications in the UK - even in the Guardian.
I saw an advert for a similar thing in a French publication and it advertised itself as being genuinely non-vulgar and friendly. Guaranteed friendliness and niceness. This was regarded as a major bonus.
The English ones stress EXACTLY the OPPOSITE to induce a call - GUARANTEED no holds barred filth. Says so much about well I'll leave it at that... Shit! I've ranted yet again!
Anyway I am thinking of putting up all my blogs again. No holds barred. Guaranteed XXXX ranting.---------------
My politics haven't changed since the age of about 15.
I am Green. If there was proportional representation I would vote Green every time.
I have had left / socialist / anarchist / Green beliefs since the age of about 15.
I will write more about my politcal beliefs.

Song
I have decided to add Jarvis Cocker's latest offering.
I think it's quite funny.
It's a bit too negative to fit into my world view but it's quite funny anyway.
I think it's true as well.
I think these are the lyrics:
Well did you hear, there's a natural order.
Those most deserving will end up with the most.
That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top,
Well I say: Shit floats.
If you thought things had changed,
Friend you'd better think again,?
C*nts are still running the world,
Now the working classes are obsolete,
They are surplus to societies needs,
So let 'em all kill each other,
And get a maid overseas.
That's the word don't you know,
From the guys thats running the show,
Lets be perfectly clear boys and girls,
C*nts are still running the world,
Oh feed your children on
Cray fish and Lobster tails,
Find a school near the top of the league,
In theory I respect your right to exist,
I will kill ya if you move in next to me,
Ah it stinks, it sucks, it's ?_______?
unjust,But the takings are by a third,
Oh So C*nts are still running the world,
The free market is perfectly natural,
Do you think that I'm some kind of dummy?,
It's the ideal way to order the world,
Feck the morals, does it make any money?
And if you don't like it? Then leave.
Or use your right to protest on the street,
Yeah, use your rights but don't imagine that it's heard,
Oh no no,
CUNTS are still running the world!

More B(ol)logs
I have decided to put up some more b(ol)logs. I had put some up and then taken them down.
Part of me says "Put up what you feel. Let it all hang out!"
Then another part says "Take the whole lot down. Everyone on the planet can see that cack. Never mind everyone on the planet, your granny can see it!"
But on balance like everyone I do have views and thoughts. And I do believe I have the right to express them. It's something to do as well. And helps me work out what I really think.

Peasant Interlude
Peasant interlude
"The peasants are the great sanctuary of sanity, the country the last stronghold of happiness. When they disappear, there is no hope for the race".
Virginia Woolf.
Another favourite quote of mine is:
"All reduction of people to objects, all imposition of labels and patterns to which they must conform, all segregation can lead only to destruction."
Maureen Duffy.
Another thing I like is
"Politics isn't everything; but everything's political."
I think I made this one up myself.
It just means... well I I'll explain another time
Maybe you get it anyway.
"You need know nothing of me but my song
And it's meaning knows no right or wrong."
Basically what I want to think about is:- ECONOMICS IS POLITICS. DISCUSS.
"Freedom without socialism is privilege and injustice; and socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality."
Michael Bakunin.
"MY COUNTRY IS THE WORLD. MY RELIGION IS TO DO GOOD."
Thomas Paine.
"For this is the vital litmus test; no intellectual society can flourish where a Jew feels even slightly uneasy."
Paul Johnson.
Very interesting quote that one, I thought as I downed my 15th pint of liquid valium.
"IT AIN'T WHAT YOU SAY IT'S THE WAY THAT YOU SAY IT".
BANANARAMA.

Community?
Community? Community? er.. what community is that?
Oh for the last 34 years I have been part of an anarchist commune it's just that no one ever got round to telling me?
No? You're joking?
Yes er you are.
Community? what fecking community is that then?
Only joking.
Just exaggerating for effect. Don't know if that works though.
No I am not joking actually. What community????
I think it's better to be moderate from the outset.
But do I ever learn?
Maybe I take up an extreme position to see where it leads and if it makes sense.
