UK GOVERNMENT DOES NOT WANT HUMAN BODY AS COMMODITY
The NuLabor latest. The UK human body must not be for sale.
Incredible this considering that this NuLabor is prostitution par excellence.

MOUNTAINEERING A SPACE FOR HOMOSEXUAL PROTEST?
When I was active in the climbing scene there was one thing that really caught my imagination. It was that so very many of the best climbers and mountaineers were homosexual.
Of course it would be obvious that homosexuals would climb just as any other would climb.
But so many of the very best and world famous mountaineers were homosexual.
I have yet to make good sense of this fact.
Was mountaineering a space for homosexual protest vis-a-vis the dominent culture of male and female chains?

WHERE IS OUR NEW LEFT NY-LABOR
After a week or two, after the first wave of PR, where are these new left and all so liberal Ny-Labour workers?
Where are they?
Perhaps they need time to present us with their vision before they provide us with the(ir) programmes.
But I smell a stale kipper on the plate.

SYSTEMATIC KILLING FIELDS and INDIFFERENCE
It seems to me that the invisible hand of civilisation and mechanical expertise, attached to an equally abstract and anything goes so long as it pays, is at the heart(sic) of mistaken identies and flawed information. In other words our expert-systems murder innocent-others in the name of efficiency and risk.

Scratch, just a little, this skin and system and what might we see?
Maybe Karl Marx was just close enough to the big story with his alienation theme.
By the way Norwich City won AGAIN last night.

United Nations Wisdom and Groanagin
According to the UN it will be the "poor" that will suffer because of the "failures" of developed countries Big Boys.
Jesus Wept !
It is the successes of the big boys that create the suffering under this nasty and short and brutal reign of terrorist capitalism.
....there is a better life for me and you."

UK EXPERTS COME UP WITH PLAN FOR HEALTHY YOUNGSTERS
Due to the binge drinking culture and the destruction of the national health Service, including dentists, a group of experts from the UK have come up with a NULabor plan.
It is this : feed babies with booze when they cut their teeth and ensure that they learn the stages of euphoria.

THE DAILY CHRISTIAN MAIL SENDS XMAS MESSAGE
It seems that a convict is sick. The story goes that a liver transplant would be needed. This convict is a very bad person.
The Daily Mail today runs a comments page on this.
I checked it out ( got banned agin).

The hate and the tragic playing God scene is too clear.
Comments are from pure and clean readers who can do no "sin".
Goethe come back all is forgiven.
Gide come back all is forgiven.
For fucks sake can humanitas come back.........?

BREAKING WIND-E-NEWS
The CommonWealth(sic) are planning to make a new World Cup for the football.
British companies are all behind on this one.

A DISGRACE
The England football game last night was a disgrace. From the beginning when Brits went booooooooooooooooo to Croatia as their national music played. The spin from players and manager, on and on lies and deceit in management talk-ways to control the damage.
The game reflected, for me, the new UK that I have finally begun to see and understand.
I am not alone in ex-pat circles to say a disgrace and to apologise to any left out there that thought the Brits could behave in better ways.
To be an ex-pat is often to live and feel Britishness more than a Brit. Maybe I take the shock too seriously.
But I am disgusted.
Even the so called manager did not wait for his own players to leave the pitch - he almost ran down the exit tunnel.
This is Blairite Britain for me clear as clear to be.

I think I am glad that Croatia and many others have and will take this new uk to the cleaners and down a few pegs.
During my summer visit there I senses something awful. Now I see an example of that awfulness through football at all levels.

This is a deep culture of spin and powder-puff-kid arrogance. It will not go away soon.
How can a person apologise for this disgusting display of Nu-UK?

I HAVE BEEN WONDERING
Of all the governments in this (our) world today - which are the governments that show a bias towards the well being of the majority?

OK, a silly question.
It does not, however, close the doors for a damned good reply that is quite different from the original philosophy that inspired such a silliness.

Yes, yes, yes, I am asking something about democracy. Boring.
I have just been wondering which government, even in a democracy, can claim to be in bias towards the well being of the majority.
Damn it is, is it, so difficult?

FINNISH NURSES GET SOME SATISFACTION BUT NO RESPECT
Nurses in Finland have, at long last, gained financial satisfaction. The solidarity was too much for the government ( pretending that local government was not national government).
Nurses in Finland have, should have had it long time ago, satisfaction of knowing that their work was important work. ( yet those nurses that did not join in the mass protest and especially those "private trainer-nurses" are today struggling to "look good".)

In fact government is quite pissed off right now.
There is still no respect for really essential workers.
This "win" by the nurses is just a battle.
To get that respect ( away from instrumental victories) "costs".
The government lost that kind of respect about a week after it was voted-in.

Yet I dance and sing with those good nurses that get a decent salary now.
Good luck to you all I say.

BREAKING WIND-E-NEWS
UK Monday morning.
A mass exodus of small children. Kids run away from UK schools like never before.
Interviews with some of the kids showed the cause of this mass burst of activity.
" We are showing the Brown man that we can read ok thank you. In fact we read even between the lines of our big leader. That's why we run. "

I blame the parents and the teachers and the preachers and the creepers that creep and creep and creep.
The Kids are Alright.

DID YOU KNOW That
Cumulus is a white puffy cloud often associated with showery weather?

Willy Willy is a miniature tornado peculiar to Australia?

NURSES IN FINLAND IGNORED YET AGAIN
Today the Finnish government voted to ignore nurses and public opinion. This, yet again.
The plastic mis-economy is on the air right now.
At the same time the Prime Minister, Matti Vanityman, could not be present to vote.
He was in hospital at the RIGHT time.
Damn it this all sucks.

A FRIDAY IN THE UK
School uniforms should be more uniformed say top experts.
There is too much "social exclusion" involved today.
We need more creative and innovative youth.

Is this the NU-UK?
Or what.

A FRIDAY IN FINLAND
I have received a grant from the Finnish Association for the Advancement of the Correctional Abilities in a Mis-Political-Economy. I have been given the task of displaying Finland on a Friday. Then the money runs out.

Anyway here it is :-

1) At the biggest local hotel we have boxing. Men with Finnish sounding names fight against men with Swedish sounding names and Russian sounding names. It costs 15 Euro to get in and the drinks are not cheap.
2) The government is set to disrespect the nurses yet again as the second reading of the Anti-Nurses-Bill is happening. At the same time Finnish agents made employment fairs in Poland to encourage Poles to come and work in Finland.
3) The State run "Alko" shop has the workers on strike. This really pisses off many Finns on a Friday.
4) In Rovaniemi ( an insignificant Santa Claus place) a new Academy is brought into action. It is called "The Elf Academy" and grants diplomas to those that study to become elves to help Santa Claus.
5) The sex industry really gets going on a Friday and there is always a full display of Far-Eastern girls advertising in the newspapers for nice chats and therapy.
6) Damn it I'm off.................. sorry

AS I HOBBLED BACK FROM HOSPITAL
This morning was one of those hospital mornings.
I was due the first injection as winter time comes along.
I walked in the room with a smile ( surely she will like me after what I have been writing in support of nurses in Finland)

Were you born in England she asked me.
I said yes.
Have you been a good boy she asked.
I said no.

She then jabbed the needle in my arse and I am sure i saw her feet lift up from the ground as she did the wicked deed.
She smiled as I left the room.

GOVERNMENT SHOWS NURSES WHO THE RULES ARE FOR !
Yes it was predicted even here on this blog. This morning the Finnish government passed the first reading of the so called "Patients Safety Bill" which roughly translated means the Anti-Collectives Bill and the you will do as you are told Bill.
Nurses have seen that the political and business elite can quickly make a bill preventing any kind of collective protest.
The second reading is on Friday.

Last count was a clear majority of Finns in support of nurses but the clear majority of right wing Blairites in government show their teeth. If this really goes through a sea change situation will be upon Finland. It may soon be that 20.000 nurses will protest ( Finland is a small country of 5 million people so 20.000 is very many).
Will the more industrial trades unions show support?

Have I ever been down this road before?

MONDAY BRAINDEAD BLUES
The absurdity of Monday is no new thing as school and work systems have long been a regimentation of things that really make little or no sense. It is then on a Monday morning that the crassman comes to call.
But it all makes work for the bloggerman to do.

Considering that more than a few bloggers turn to Jung stuff and even paint images of hills and fields and stuff like that - considering that I went back to a quote that I had used many years ago - a quote from Jung. It was this that he said when he was 87 years of age :-

" Modern man has not truly looked into the great divide within himself, the great divide which separates him from wilderness and nature ..... The more uncertain I have felt about myself and life, the more has grown in me, through nature, a feeling of kinship with all things. "

As the snow surrounds our home now and as footfalls tell a story I will be off to hunt a good looking female reindeer to spread the message. I shall be at one with the world.

The Queen Speaks for Nation
Remember, remember the 11th of November.
Send more to war and then celebrate.

A good father today might say no.
My sons do not need to join the army.

A DAY FOR FATHERS AND DADS
Not sure about everywhere but in Finland today a father is thanked.
My father is dead and gone but I might still thank him.

He was non-violent.
He used to warm my clothes early in the morning before I went out to deliver newspapers at 6 in the morning in the rain.
He crafted a wooden fort for one birthday and I played with it for many years until I became too "mature" ( that fort was given to others and I hear is still used). Good craftsman he was.
Smashed my head in once. Father cleaned me up calmed me and then made sure I was not alone in the hospital.
At the end, attacked by cancer, he still tried his best to chat to me as a father would. He was brave in his sweat and bumpy body.

Thanks dad

TO BE A GOOD PARENT?
Winnicott used to ask us to do things "just good enough". Always thought that such a simple and clear statement was just good enough.

A good parent is so abstract and yet this abstraction is all we have to try and live with in bloggerlands. Such is the hassle of worded-deeds.

But, at the same time, good parents "are worth it".
Is this irony and a postmodern play?

I was an adopted child and proud of it in this way. I was given a second chance as it were. I was parented. Gifted.
Maybe that is what I might say to this question.
Second chances are good.

WHERE WOULD THE NU-LEFTIES BE?

As past preist Blair is for the turning and embraces the Catholic poverty of philosophy and as Brown inhales his own opium mixture then what will we expect from the Nu-Lefties today?

Will they be able to handle the religious debates that have so influenced left-wing politics for about 300 years in the Modern world?
Will they be able to be critical ( remember a book called "Catholics and the Left" from the 60,s where Marxian writers struggled with their faith) or will they avoid such basics?

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT AT SCHOOL TODAY DEAR LITTLE NU-LEFTIES THAT SHINE?

ROMANTIC FINLAND
Finland has been called, sometimes, more American than America. Sometimes that has seemed to me like a good sense reading. Sometimes.
Schools, killings and.......... Nokia land.
As I live in the north we call the south and Helsinki -- HELLSTINKI.
We have better ways of slaughter in the North.
This post in no way disrespects those hurt by senseless killing.
I am just sad at this absurdity that grows and grows in Finland.

The "no comment" ploy of Finnish authorities no longer works.

NOTHING NEW WITH THE QUEEN PREACH
. ( Same old crap )

Education, education,education was there, in USA style under Bliar, today we have aspiration, aspiration,aspiration.
CLASS(sic) stuff ignored yet again.
And that was just a small bit.

Is there any point in "trusting" a UK democracy anymore or before?

Parliament will have new powers!!!!!
Same old crap.

It might be OK if words remained with deeds and meaning.
But sorri.
That time has gone.

Please think up a new way to classify folk into ... into ... into ...
Fuck it stink up, stink up a new way to sell the shit up shit up cock up crap.

Blame me I am a small Hermes
Shame .......
Sori if I get personal.
But
Shit stinks.

TROUSERS GETTING THE JUMP LEAD
Old Szwagipants is up to mischief again. ( see his site).
Poor trousers is getting sent up to the cleaners.
But he is on the run.
It's odds on right now.
Place yer bets.

For those in angst remember Sparticussipussy blogs awhile back.

And who said that Szwagiknickers was only a footnote to Plato?

NOVEMBER FIFTH SEES UK PARLIAMENT NERVOUS
It has come to my notice that any blog attempts to blow up the Houses of Parliament will be dealt with harshly.
The same goes for newspapers and general media. No mention no cry.

So I just thought I would remind folk.
Got my bonfire working.... have you?

No mention of Guy Fawkes either.
But I want a bonfire, I want a bonfire....

FIRST SNOW TURNS TO SLUSH
What next? The first snows have fallen but are quickly slushifying. What ever happened to lost virginity that remained flourishing? Black ice next methinks.
Anyway have made a big wood fire things pure and simple.

However a big problem early this morning. Too much existential thinking perhaps. As I had made a very hot cup of coffee I placed a spoon in the cup. Then it came to me. Was the spoon absorbing the heat so to allow me to drink the damned thing quicker or was that spoon keeping the whole thing hot for longer? That caused a few hours of hassle for me and if I write about it I do so in hope that it will just go away.
Then began to write my words for a publication. Boredom set in. So I played around with history and things got better.
Did you know that this year is a big year. 1307 was the year when that big girls blouse Edward 11 began his reign. He was to lose Scotland.
Let that be a history lesson for the big girls blouse beginning his reign in 2007.

Bit concerned about our Trousers though. Seems that the kegsman has been full of dreams turning into reality again. But this time it is a fairly well researched disease that is evident. It is called, Addastickstoyer, and is associated with a poor diet and a unhealthy desire to avoid a middle-aged-spread. We must keep a careful eye on this situation.

THIS WEEKEND IS SACRED
It is All SOULS WEEKEND and the damned shops are closed.
We had already suffered ALL SAINTS DAY and now ALL SOULS DAY is upon us and the shops are closed.
But, as no doubt the Finns will testify, it is the weekend when candles are placed on the gravestones. It is the first time that Finns make their wonderful candle-light displays with the dead but still remembered.

Graveyards are not always this way.
The worst graveyard I saw was in Prague.
The best in Finland.
But the frigin shops are closed.

Are there no limits to this respect for the dead?

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IF
a) nothing left to lose
b) nothing left to gain
c) everything to consider

What would you say?

HAPPINESS
Outside and away from the correctional happy conscientisuch ( that is where even obvious words and deeds of Capitalism are self-evident and Godly yet forbidden ) there is another happiness.

There is the happiness that really warms and flourishes for and with folk.
It is a happiness that cannot be measured.

Happiness is a subversive community of beings as Being.
Therefore the adventure.........

APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR
After our annoying but always goodly Anticant receives an award I am tempted into strange lands.
What is this "appropriate behaviour" that the UK talks?
Could somebobby help me there, could somebobby tell me where I went wrong?
( sori that should have been "somebody" help me there)
Just a song no need for an accountable Barclays Bank ( who remembers South Africa?) but is this song appropriate.
Personally I wank at the Midland ! Good blue feminists are our future.

HOME RULE? NOT ENGLISH.
The English have always had a special skill. To twist words around so much as to always find the sun shining out of the English arsehole.
The British Empire ( with slaves from Wales, Scotland and Ireland) was of course a British Empire. Oh the English. ( was that "Brutish" Empire" get a medel for that)
Forever a bit of this England laid down and dead in a WORLD WAR. Yes that is right a First World War!
Dizzy obvious stuff this.
Holy Shiite now the English accuse the slaves of Wales and Scotland of being selfish and refusing the "window of opportunity" ( for finance centres in London) of Olympic football through an agreed Great Britain team.
Think it was football anyway.
Could have been a few other things too. ( oh yes)

I am not proud ( even in a soft and good way of being proud) of being born and first bred in England.
The only language Ican use in this high-warping-field, that is forever England, is this kind of language : GOOD BYE TO ALL THAT ( sori selfish I know but right to say).

But I do begin to understand the celebi-clubbi-britti-pity ways now a little more.
They have nowt to live-for but their imagined-selves in imagined communites. It is all very English. But fucked. Not even Wales or Scotland will support the image.
In fact much of the wider world moved long times past but that is another more significant issue.
