….by which I refer to the “daily mail” and the “daily express”. Wtf is it w/these papers? I always check out thee headlines @ thee newsagent, and I can only assume that yer average mail/express reader inhabits a world ov constant PH33R from what I see. I think perhaps thee ur-mail headline would be “THEY ARE ALL OUT TO GET YOU AS PROVEN BY NOSTRADAMUS/BIBLE CODE PROPHECIES!!!!@#~” I mean day after day, there’s this constant stream of piss scare stories => sars/tony blair, o destroyer ov our cherish3d national sovereignty/albanian windscreen washers/refugees etc etc etc, all fixing their beady eyes on OUR NICE STUFF, or so they claim. This allied, (in the mail esp) to some weird & fux0r3d up supernaturalist outlook, the hidden coced prophecy in thee 0ld t3st4m3nt that shows that we will ALL DIE SOON. And so it goes on. What is thee appeal? It isn’t even funny, it’s just a bit sad and creepy, but, it does seem to sell to lots ov people, especially thee dailiy mail!!

you shouldve seen the Daily Mail front page a couple of Sundays ago - 'THE GREAT GREY GOO NIGHTMARE' or something...basically to do with the theoretical (note that word) possibility (note that word also) or nanobots being developed to the point where they can be manipulated as weapons of mass destruction, running amok and eventually reducing the planet to a mass of deconstructed matter, or 'grey goo' to give it its catchy buzz term. apparently Prince Charles was very concerned...meanwhile on page 6, oh my fucking god, Daniella Westbrook has cellulite...
