Barak Obama is soon to visit Kenya, from whence his family hail, with all the pomp and ceremony such visits bring. But the Kenyans don’t want him. Because America has legalised gay marriage.

Are the Kenyans fearful that homosexuality is contagious? That it can be ‘caught’, not from in fact a gay man but from a man who comes from a land with no (overt) gay discrimination? They’ve had marches in Nairobi, to ‘Protect The Family!!!’ Do they not realise that there’s quite a difference between legalising gay marriage and making it compulsory. You don’t have to have a gay marriage if you don’t want to, really, its optional. A matter of choice.

Kenyans have stated that they are prepared to refuse foreign aid if it ‘is tied to gay marriages’. Which leaves that rather poor country in a bit of a pickle, money-wise, as they’ll only be able to get financial support from ISIS, Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

Meanwhile, Andy Murray marches on, having yesterday beaten The Terminator’s second cousin. Well, he looked like a cyborg. Massive fucking ‘thing’, 6 foot 11 of dour Croat who served like a canon. Didn’t so much hit the ball as ‘FIRE!!!!’ But Murray prevailed. The Cyborg warped back to the future for modifications to his circuitry for next year.

Thursday should be fun. They’re having a strike. On the tubes and trains. No-one will get anywhere. We’ll all be walking round our houses waving our Oyster cards at each other waiting for a bleep.

This is a positively 20th Century action that shouldn’t happen in 2015. Holding the country to ransom to meet what can only be considered unreasonable demands. The tubes are due to become ’24-hour’ as from September and ‘terms’ need to be sorted. They’ve been offered more money all round for this, plus bonuses for night-working, on top of the 50 grand a year they already earn, plus overtime, even when they’re on their 42 days’ of holiday. But its not enough. Never enough. So the Unions are ‘protecting workers’ rights’. Industrial Action.

Coincidentally (yeah, right) the trains are also striking, at the very same time. What are the chances? So as well as London grinding to a halt, fans going to Wimbledon and even the cricket in Cardiff will be royally fucked.

Bring in the army. Bring over the refugees from Calais. I’ll drive a train. How hard can it be?

The Legend is burying his dad today. My heart is with him. The loss of a parent is always a tragedy. The loss of a Spurs fan, doubly so.

Happy Tuesday
