The Adventures, Mishaps and Musings of Me

I am absoloutly sickened by the European election results.

Really, if the party in power, masquerading as socialists, makes a complete mess of things, does the population (an unsettlingly large proportion of it) truely believe that the answer is extremist, down right racist, right wing politics?  Has 20th century history taught us nothing?

Apparently not.

Comparitively, in Italy, the exact opposite is taking place, but from a similar reasoning.  With Berlusconi venturing far into the right wing of political policy, left wing extremism is raising its equally ugly head, gathering supporters, and thus Milan is currently covered in "Vote Communist" posters.  Fabulous.

In the Britsh Labour Party's declaration of policies and things achieved, it states, and I quote, "Violent crime is down 40 percent."

In the Tories own list of policies, it states, and I quote, "Labour’s top-down approach to fighting crime has failed... Violent crime has increased."

Neither quote their sources for this 'information'.

Oh, politics, why must you be fuelled on bull shit?

ENGLAND!!

Ah, it's nice to be home and subjected to the wonders of malfunctioning showers, galleons of free alcohol and  the thoroughly concerning level of insanity from my family.  Also, huzzah for fishnchips and the the great English breakfast!  Grease never tasted so good.

Flight home was mellow.  Overlooking the fact that I was sitting next to a middle aged Italian man who was chewing on an unlit cigar the whole time, it was rather uneventful.  Unlike last time, where I was charged a fine of 40 Euros (twice the cost of the actual flight) for having an over weight bag, was screamed at by pissy Italian women and nearly missed my flight.

The many British football hooligans that were sharing the flight filled me with the happy feeling of homecoming. :D
