As if.

I'm not in it with people who take a helicopter to their stag-hunting trips, and I'm not going to tighten my belt along with either Boots the Chemist who is paying 3% tax from its offshore base, or my own employer who has lights blazing everywhere all night long.

If you haven't already been made sick over the decades by his revolting, fascist music, then just make sure you wiki him athttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Orffand never listen again. Typical of gross X Factor, innit.

Yes, he's joined the supporters of Polanksi. This doesn't surprise me. I always thought he had disgusting vibes. He has sons, so perhaps can't imagine this anal rape of a little girl, or the heinousness of ever ever ever making a child frightened. He has a disgusting website where his own narcisism is only matched by those of his gross sons. Please Jesus come down and act out that thing of a

This I can hardly believe. Now I know for sure there is something completely sordid about people in the film world. The following are people that I have admired. They are also people who think that a guy who drugs and sodomises a 13-year-old girl should go unpunished. The girl wants to drop the case and forgive him because the case makes her life hell. But this isn't justice. It's the reason why

Some reported it was 200, some it was 400 of the good people of Amstetten (population 23,000) who came out in vigil at what had been going on under their noses.That means that, at a generous estimate, for every 1 that came out, over 50 stayed at home and averted their eyes. Par for the course it seems.Still, it was raining. And perhaps there was something good on the telly.

I've been surfing the news. I don't think it's macabre or sick to do it when we have these intense human interest cases. I think it's a researching desire to find out why humans act so terribly.The best comment so far came yesterday from a couple of really intelligent writers in the The Times: http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/the_way_we_live/article3834569.ece Someone

. . . because they might need a little bit of thinking about.Tonight, 29/04, on the BBC website: "You just can't imagine this happening here, in quiet Amstetten," one woman told the BBC. Oh yes, I can. A lot of things happened in quiet villages in Austria only 60 years ago.In 1938 they took my beautiful young uncle from a lovely quiet village near Vienna and imprisoned him in terrible conditions

Okay, I would apologise for the abuse of their poor athletes, but not for China's treatment of Tibet.This pressure has to be kept up. The Chinese army were secretly photographed, with Buddhist monks robes under their arms, ready to change into. They are on their way back from Tibet, where they went to run on the rampage, dressed up as Buddhist monks, in order to bring Tibet's monks into disrepute

How do I get my own back on Everest Windows? The bastards called me on the dot of 9.00 this morning -- on my own very personal mobile phone. This is because I had a quote from Everest Windows in the summer. I told them that I would never buy their windows if they ever spammed or junk mailed me. They started to do that at once, so I chose a local firm who did it for half the price.For weeks now

I'm just calming down from having bought a ticket. It took me half an hour.

What ever is the matter with zero tolerance?If I were Queen I'd do a 100% boycott of the Bejing Olympics. Our athletes would just have to compete elsewhere. I know it would be hard on them, but it's even harder on people under incredible duress in Burma. If Britain and America and one or two other decent countries would boycott these games the pressure on China to put pressure on Burma would be

If I were queen I would probably make a law to tie a millstone round the neck and drown in the sea anyone who abused a child.
