Boris goes to the G7 summit, because they need a court jester in that Falstaff mode over there to lighten things up. He was already made lame by his cancellation of a meeting with Putin because he didn’t want to take the glory away from Rex Tillerson, the American Secretary of State and ‘former’ friend of Russia, who wants to present ultimatums to Putin about his links to Assad in the wake of ‘gas-gate’. Because America handles these situations… so well?

Donald Trump’s press secretary Sean Spicer made several basic, rookie errors when talking about the attacks yesterday. Firstly he spoke off-the-cuff, and he ain’t that bright, and secondly, the cardinal sin, he dropped the ‘H-word’. Hitler. He should have asked Ken Livingstone how that worked out for him. Rule 1: NEVER, EVER MENTION HITLER, even when you think you’re using it in the right context. “Even the evil Hitler never used gas”. Errrrrrr… “Well, he never used chemicals on his own people”, stop digging Sean, you’re already six feet under.

O.M.G!!!

And he said that on Passover!!!! As if that makes it worse. Perhaps if he’d said “Pharoah was never bad to the Jews” I could better understand the connection. There was outrage, accusations of ‘the worst kind of holocaust denial!’ What crap. This was no holocaust denial, this was plain stupidity. In Sean’s (feeble little) mind, Hitler never bombed his own people so Assad was worse. The ‘chemical/gas’ thing is obviously in a completely different compartment of his mind from the gas chambers. He fucked up, and that’s bad. He’s incompetent, that’s possibly worse, considering his position, but holocaust denial?? I don’t think so. And all the tragic over-reaction to the comments just serve to make any mention of the holocaust too difficult. Like discussing problems about Muslims. A no-go zone. He’s a tosser, not a denier.

Meanwhile over in Chicago there’s yet another fuss. This time on a plane. In a scene strongly reminiscent of the movie ‘Airplane’ a 65 year old Doctor was dragged out of his seat and turfed, bruised and bleeding off the United Airways flight. And quite right too. Just because he’d paid for his seat and was sitting in it doesn’t give him the right to think he can stay there for the duration of the flight. Who does he think he is? The flight was overbooked so he was ‘randomly selected’ by the computer to ‘lose’. And he refused to go. What a total bastard. The UA computer was programmed to ‘find a Chinaman to beat the shit out of’ and it did. Just can’t see the problem here. Bloody liberals…

Happy Wednesday
