Daily Mirror-Breaking News

I can't believe that the Daily Mirror has only just realised that Tony Blair is an abject failure. But this is in the breaking news section of their website:

Tony Blair’s failed attempts to secure peace in the Middle East have cost British taxpayers at least half a million pounds.

Foreign Office figures reveal £400,000 was put towards office costs and expenses for the former Prime Minister.

Four civil servants and a political analyst have also been sent to work with Mr Blair, costing at least £100,000.

The hefty bill emerged as discontent grows over his job representing the UN, America, the EU and Russia in the war-torn area.

That's nothing compared to what he did to Britain.

It's All Bollocks Really

What is happening to the world? I was unfortunate enough to pick up a copy of the Daily Mirror today a Preston station and had forgotten, it's that long since I read it, what a load of sanctimonious crap it contains.

It seems the Mirror has started a new puritan campaign to clean up the airwaves and get rid of bad language. Tell you what, if there is bad language on TV or radio either switch off or switch over, easy. The targets for their righteous indignation today were those notorious foul-mouthed miscreants Ant and Dec. Yes, those loveable Geordie cheeky chappies who get the hearts of the nation's grandmothers fluttering whenever they pop up on our screens.

And what torrent of foul and disgusting language had they unleashed on an unsuspecting nation? My, they had used the word bollocks when it was only 20 minutes past the 9-00pm watershed. To compound the felony they had used the word not once, not twice but three times. And it wasn't even gratuitous, a contestant on 'I'm a Celebrity.....' had actually eaten a kangaroo testicle, otherwise known as a bollock.

Strange to think that the Daily Mirror's view is that everything else in the world is so perfect it has a fit of outraged self-righteous indignation and moral outrage at that. All bollocks in my view!
