Vox Polis

It would seem that the person that dreamt this up missed the irony somewhat.

EDM quote:(sorry can’t find original article)

the proposal by a firm of builders, reported in the Evening Standard, to re-brand Archway Shopping Mall as Karl Marx Square in order to make it more commercially profitable; the plans are deeply offensive to the thousands of victims of Communism given shelter in this country and insulting to the millions killed in the name of the ideology it espoused.

Capitalism never fails to disappoint…but I suppose it’s not that surprising really. If people can make a fortune by plastering a picture of Che Guevara on t-shirts then why not use the name of Karl Marx.

By way of a break from the endless parade of bad legislation and scandal here’s some good news.  Scientists at Innsbruck Medical University have published results which point to beer reducing the danger of heart disease.  Apparently alcohol free beer also has beneficial effects but..y’know..what’s the point?  Being fond of an occasional pint it’s a relief to know that I’ll have time to see my liver fail before I’m struck down by heart failure.

Proper science here.

Maybe we should introduce this to Wales this country. Make people think twice before they do ‘their nonsense’ on animals.

Some things to look out for in ‘06:

• Prediction 1: French farmers will agree to abolish CAP and completely fund the EU through their own taxes.
• Prediction 2: Bob Geldof will launch a new campaign to free the world of Bob Geldof.
• Prediction 3: George W Bush will be identified as the missing link between ape and human and will thus be unable to promote the teaching of intelligent design in schools.
• Prediction 4: David Blunkett will sweep to power backed by an army of his own illegitimate children.
• Prediction 5: Charles Kennedy will have an entirely smooth year where his power increases and he doesn’t touch a drop of alcohol.
• Prediction 6: There will be free and fair elections in Iraq.

The Vox Polis team are off to William Hill. Have a great year!
