Spok’s dead.

He will live long and prosper no more. Leonard Nimoy the actor died yesterday and I am greatly saddened. Old actors die all the time, but this one actually ‘hurts’. The great thing is that dead actors live on forever in their work. And live on as young people too. No-one remembers what Barbara Stanwick looked like the year before she died, but they remember the smouldering blond in Double Indemnity, even though it was made in about 1955. Bogart was Bogart, always the same age. Its actually a mistake to act too late in life, then people remember you as ancient (Peter Fonda, Jane Fonda, Kim Kardashian) or remember all the ‘work’ you had done. Act young, become a director, die in old age forever remembered as 29. Brilliant.

Though Spok did make a cameo in the last Star Trek movie and we loved him all the more for it.

The original Star Treks were made in the 60s and I loved them. I wasn’t an official ‘trekky’ because I never bought stick-on ears or a Captain Kirk yellow sweater with integrated fat belly. I just lusted after Ohuru’s legs.

But it was always Spok’s show. He had the best lines, the biggest impact, the best knowledge, was the most nerdy, the most cool, the most dangerous (you don’t fuck with the Vulcan Death Grip!!!!) and the most complicated, trying to reconcile his cool logical, detached Vulcan half with his emotional, soppy, illogical Human side.

May his soul rest in peace. A lovely man. For all I know.

As opposed to George Galloway. Not a lovely man at all. Neither half of him. One half Scottish bastard, one half neo-jihadi scumbag.

A journalist tweeted that George is antisemitic. So George, rather than ignoring this slur which no-one would have ever heard about, is suing the journalist and everyone who re-tweeted the message. £5000 each. His retirement fund. If only the git would retire, I’d pay him myself.

George has always claimed that he is anti-Israel but not anti-semitic. A questionable stance even from those who don’t fraternise with radical Islamists. But George supports Hamas. Who are sworn to Israel’s destruction. And Israel is the only jewish state in the world. And George is not a great fan of the Jewish people generally. So I won’t say that George Galloway is anti-semitic, because he’ll sue me. So how about the far less contentious, George Galloway is a total C**T.

Is that acceptable, George??

Happy Saturday
