Oh, no, another brainfart that asks...

...am I alone?

I was drawn to a BBC documentary, called The Virtual Revolution which made me think upon the sheer magnitude and diversity of the Internet, not to say the beginnings of the World Wide Web (and it was a Brit that gave us the WWW dot, fame at last eh?) and how it was deemed as a panacea to the libertarians (WTF is a libertarian? Don't we all think we are libertarians???)  After all, the idea of liberalism started in the USA, San Francisco to be precise, go figure? In the hippy era of the sixties, yeah right?

 Yeah, frickin' right, to use an American expression.

Anyway, us Europeans are made of sterner stuff, we will not be led by mere dogma!?! Esecially us British? But I do not always blurb on about smoking issiues?

I want your children! Buy Me.

 

Anyway I digress, here are blogs that I are high up on my blogwatch list, but sometimes I can't bring myself to comment on because they make cry, laugh and occasionally think in equal measure, bastards! I don't want to think, it's too painful!

Captain Ranty, whom  I have known under another name, of which I will not divulge, I deem him to be a sincere blogger of whom I have the utmost respect and am trying to understand his concept of being a freeman, (I am Borg) because of it's compelxity, (who would have thought it would have been hard work to know that you were  free?) He is a worthy read.

Meanwhile Obnoxio is just being plain obnoxious about sportsmen (women do not spit) spitting! (Well Obo, mine's bigger than yours, you cockwaverer you*)

Meanwhile I was feeling guilty about writing this "under the influence" but I feel guilty no more. Chris Snowdon's blog, it's a revelation!

Talking about drinkin' and smokin'

If you can't understand the humour, then nor cant I, but I tried...and laughed my head off!

I put a * above but, for the life of me I can't remember why? I blame the demon drink myself, well, we have to have an enemy!

To blog or not to blog, or just regulate it?

We all have known for some time now that the Smoking Ban Experiment (SBE) has nothing to do with health but everything to do with control.  In fact most of the 600+ laws and the monumental growth of CCTV watching every move we make are designed by the Labour party to control Britons from the cradle to the grave.  No part of our lives, or our childrens, have been untouched by the "control freaks" parading around Westmonster as our savours instead of our employees.

And we have also known that those paragons of virtue have been setting their sights, with the crosshairs firmly fixed on the Internet.  There is, it seems, not a day that goes by when some self interest group is besieging any self serving MP on the take with tales of horror about this site or other and to ban them off the face of the net.  There is an ongoing clamour to ban any Facebook site that even thinks of mentioning tobacco products.

Now it's the turn of the humble blog.  One Baroness Buscombe, the new Chair of the Press Complaints Commission, wants to regulate blogs and blogging and bring them into line with the MSM.

Baroness Buscombe can bloody well blog off!

The Liberal Conspiracy website, and Unity in particular, has written a letter to this harridan which, if you are a blogger you can sign before it is sent to her at her department.  Read the letter and sign up here: Liberal Conspiracy.

There are too many H/Ts as most of the blogosphere has ran with this story but I'll go with the last blog I read, the inimitable Mark Wadsworth.
