Elton John's "Marriage"

Is it just me, or does it look totally bizarre to see two men on TV., talking of their Baby?

It seems that if you are a tinpot billionaire singer with false hair "Married" to another bloke, that you can do as you like.

It seems that if you have the money, you are able to pay a woman to have a baby, but only if a well-known figure, and you do not live in the UK where (I believe) paying for a baby is still illegal.

Surely, raising a child is natural if it is a Husband and (female) wife doing that, not two men?

Has the world gone politically-correct MAD?

Note: I am not a homophobe, I just believe in the natural order of things.

Wikileaks...

Now we know what the Americans really think of us Brits (and most of the rest of the World too.)

345 of our soldiers killed and many maimed while fighting in Afghanistan; it doesn't count apparently. It certainly doesn't add up.

YouTube increases time limit for videos

Thankyou YouTube. Now as you seem to be denying me the ability to post on your crap forums now, by never publishing what I say: here's your link:

http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2010/07/upload-limit-increases-to-15-minutes.html#comment-form

and here's your fricken' answer from me:

"Thankyou YouTube, the extension of the 10 minute limit is welcome, however this is not of much use if after two years of being on site, and thousands of views, our videos are reduced to looking like they were shot through the bottom of a glass bottle. Put back the 480p setting, YouTube, and cease degrading any more videos to 360p"

Quite apart from this I see that the really silly idea that people are "manipulating their viewcounts" continues with these YouTube vultures; freezing at least four of mine at around 301 for over a month! Yeah right, sure I am...not.

Where is justice?

We see it all the time in the UK.

Police thugs getting away with murder and assault.

The latest decision by the Crown Prosecution "service" not to charge a police thug who knocked an innocent bystander to the ground at the G20 demonstrations, resulting in that person's death, is to be expected.

After all, another copper by the name of "Smellie" slapped a five feet tall woman round the face at that same demonstration, and got away with it; thugs shot an unarmed man seven times in the head in 2005 and got away with it also.

Put on a thug uniform, cover all identifying numbers, wear a balaclava, and kill someone, yet get told that no further action will be taken! Typical.

**Update September 2010: A copper in a police station in Wiltshire was caught on CCTV dragging a woman along the station floor and throwing her into a cell causing substantial injuries to her face (blood was seen dripping on the floor of the cell)

That filth of a copper was tried and convicted of actual bodily harm and sentenced to six months jail. He served SIX DAYS of that sentence, then was released into the community while awaiting an appeal!!

SIX DAYS in jail to appeal against WHAT? He was seen on CCTV doing what he did; how come he is out anyway? Yet another case of one law for us and another for a filthy scuffer, who should remain in jail for what he did. with no appeal.

This is not all: even though that scum has been sentenced and jailed, he still remains a scuffer on full pay!!! Laughable!!

Serious message?

Does it portray the Gazans as the main trouble makers though?

Iranian truth.

What is it with these people who continually target the Iranians?

I looked at the recent UN G5+1 meeting on TV.
The Iranian president started to say his piece, but half the delegates at the meeting walked out. The president made no mention of the holocaust at all during his speech.

The British, Americans and of course, the Israelis left the hall.

But wait! None of them left when the Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, started to give his oration.
Very confusing as surely the Israelis killed 1400 Palestinian civilians during their attacks in January 2009; surely they have refused to allow the IAEA to inspect their "secret" nuclear facilities; surely they continue to ignore UN resolutions, amongst them to cease the collective punishment of the Palestinians and to cease building settlements in occupied territory; surely they use illegal weapons like White Phosphorus on civilians?
Some countries are applying double-standards in continually victimising Iran, yet supporting Pakistan in its aquisition of nuclear weapons, which at the time was a military dictatorship!

The Iranians have never attacked anybody, could it possible that they really want to just have nuclear energy, not bombs, but who can blame them if they DID want a device to to protect themselves from all the hostile countries around them bristling with nuclear bombs and missiles. The fascist state, Israel, would seem to be the most hostile, and the most dangerous.

Why doesn't the international community stop supporting the apartheid regime which is Israel; stop selling them weapons; stop giving them money like they are some sort of third world country, and above all shun them for being the fascists that they are.

Germany has sold that country two nuclear submarines, and have agreed to make them another. All of these are capable of carrying nuclear missiles, insanity.

(I shall make adjustments to this blog as it is quickly typed and just off the cuff)

"Asylum seekers??"

Watching the news broadcasts of the clearance of the illegal immigrant camp at Calais, one cannot help but be struck by the singular lack of women and girls being led away by the French police.
As many of these so-called "Asylum seekers" are from Afghanistan, one would tend to ask the question "Why?" Surely it is the women who are the most oppressed in that country? Not the young men that we saw.

I hope that our 'government' does not give in to the moral blackmail that we have been hearing, and realise that these illegals, including any children present, went to Calais of their own free will, and should claim asylum in France, as per European law.
They are patently economic migrants, and we have enough of those in our country already.

Our population is now 70 million and climbing; time to put up the barriers and realise that we simply cannot absorbed the whole population of Afghanistan or anywhere else within this country.

Thousands of complaints and counting....

Since my last blogs on this charade of a video-sharing site, YouTube, not a SINGLE thing has been done about the thousands of complaints concerning the freezing of video viewcounts at around 300.
Any "Contacting" of them is restricted to using one E-mail address which never replies with any useful advice; just "help pages" which explain nothing. Posting to their blogs and "help" groups just adds to many more complaints.

These people must easily be the most devious , deceitful and unhelpful operators of a Website EVER.
Their "customer service" is non-existent. If they were an ISP or public utility they would be Bankrupt by now, having lost all their users. They must be losing thousands of users over this in any case, perhaps they think that they can afford to? How long can that go on?

Are YouTube trying to offload its users?

Still, after tens of thousands of complaints, this stubborn company refuses to address the frozen viewcounts situation; answer questions, or even give a proper place to make complaints! They are sticking their corporate heads in the sand hoping that the complaints about frozen viewcounts will go away: it will not!


I think that they are deliberately trying to get thousands of users to delete their accounts, because they are overloaded.
See this video which may explain a few things:

Police out of control?

Readers of my blog will know that I am always interested in Justice for all, and that it is carried out and enforced in an impartial manner.
Most of us have heard of the G20 demonstrations; the death of one person who was not even connected with the protest and the slapping of a tiny woman by a thug in uniform. This video, from the British newspaper, the "Guardian" shows the thuggery which the British police are capable of.

Just in response to a request for the number of this particular thug, two women were subjected to ill-treatment worthy of the Apartheid regime of South Africa.

YouTube: still unlistening dirtbags.

Well, here we go again. August 25th: Upload two videos of Tasmin Archer, a great singer and very popular. Took the trouble to shoot the video, edit, then upload to the dirtbag site again. Here, now August 31 2009, the viewcounts haven't changed since August 27th, at 303 & 306 views.
The videos are linked to MySpace, Facebook and have been multi-twittered, yet according to the YouTube scumbags, no-one had looked at them since August 27! Do me a favour idiots, fucking FIX IT!!!

YouTube dirtbags

Oh wonder!! YouTube has now decided to force an unwanted new system on us users, changing the profile page from the easy to use old one!
No consideration, and taking no account of the 6,000 complaints on its blog!!

Is this company trying to commit suicide, or merely trying to cut the number of users? They shall succeed in both cases if they carry on ignoring the people who made them big.

YouTube the biggest gaff.

YouTube has learning difficulties apparently.

Last March they posted a blog on their website telling of a new phase of operation; namely they are freezing the view counts of those they consider to be deliberately manipulating those counts, and they remain frozen until the actual count catches up with the "manipulated"one.
But, wait! why have some of MY counts been frozen, and what about the almost 2,000 replies to their blog who deny such underhandedness?
These people are morons if they think that this shall be tolerated; they ignore all requests to have this problem looked at again, and an email address at the top of the blog is not a real one. Write to it and get the usual list of YouTube so-called "Help" pages, which are no use at all. Finding ANYONE or any address to make a complaint to on YouTube is impossible, and it's a frustrating task looking; going round and round and round and round to eventually get back to where you first started.
What it needs is for a MASS evacuation of users from that site, or for someone, or many, to actually go round and see to them at their California office.

Here's a copy of a letter sent to the editor@youtube.com

The non-answer I may place here also:

Dear Madam.

I have been reading your editor's blog about this subject of so-called "manipulated viewcounts, and made a few contributions to that blog, noticing at the same time, many disgruntled and indeed furious other members' notes.
Judging by the number of posts to that blog, and the time since it was first placed on line, do you not think it time to address members' concerns, and take another look at this?

I have had two videos which seem to have been deliberately slowed-down or count arrested in the last few weeks.
I am NOT manipulating my videos at all, and if your robot detects my Web browser, screen size, and IP address when I first upload, then it is because of Edits of the side-panel notes, and the adding of annotations, each time that an edit of both is made it is necessary to look at the video again, and after an annotation is completed an invitation to view the video is given at the top of the screen.
There is also no harm or malicious intent to view one's own video to test for playback quality of sound and speed, and some choppiness has been noted on some videos. I think it high-time that this problem is addressed and your own robot given an overhaul to look for real spamming, etc.

I uploaded a new video lasting just over seven minutes last Sunday: it has proved popular and the count was high. Now it has been arrested at 311, which seems to be a nominal number for other users too. This must change, and I shall not be uploading any more at all until this is sorted out. Maybe treating users badly, so they delete their accounts or no longer upload to YouTube is what it is all about.

The video in question and I know that MANY have viewed it:

YouTube Frustration..

Anyone ever TRIED to contact YouTube and get a human-being responding to your note?

Don't bother they aren't interested.

Even trying their new forums is fraught with ever increasing anger as one keeps getting: "sign in to your Google account" to post/ join or whatever.
Okay, so you do that; then you get another message: "Sorry you have to sign-in with your Youtube account". Okay, so I friggin' did that too, then it tells you to sign-in with your Google account, well fuck me I thought I already had!! So I sign-in AGAIN, then it tells you to sign-in to your YouTube; but WAIT!! I've signed-in to both already what the hell is going on here do these Dopes want anybody to join their forums and tell them how BAD their so-called "customer services/support" is?
Trying to get an ANSWER to ANYTHING from these Robots is impossible for any question.

"We will not send you a (E-mail) reply if your question has already been covered in the Help section"
So why haven't YouTube sent me a reply to a question asked THREE Times which is NOT covered by their so-called "help" section?

AAARRRGH.I'm losing my hair trying to get a fucking answer from these assholes, well maybe they are too busy replying to Viacom's questions?
That company seems to be the only one to actually GET an answer from YouTube.

Viacom v YouTube

So Viacom, with its cohorts Disney etc., are launching an action against YouTube.
Well I say BOO HOO to Viacom! I shed no tears for them at all.

YouTube is perhaps the most progressive video-sharing site, and if these anonymous little men insist on pressing their action, then they are pressing it against not just YouTube users, but anyone using the net.

It is clearly an attempt to limit freedom; after all who really cares, other than these petty-minded, if a small video clip of 10 minutes or under is posted for all to see?
Dear me, these people are losing SO much money from this piracy, the mind positively boggles!

I say that if anyone thinks they have copyrighted stuff of theirs uploaded without permission, and they object to that, then I would advise them to press the "Flag" button which is located under every YouTube video: It's EASY!

In my experience, musicians especially are glad to see their work on YouTube. Viewers can hear and see these vids and actually like them enough to go to the store and buy the complete work.

Such videos get to places where they have never been heard, or they are unknown. YouTube helps them to further their interests, not hinder them.

I for one shall note which DVDs, or other media have the Viacom label on them, and not buy them.

LATER:

**You may wish to see the further posts about YouTube, and the anger that they are creating with some very unfair practices manifest.
It may also seem, according to some, that YouTube are the ones at fault when having dealings with companies like Viacom.

The Eurovision Fit -up contest....

After watching this charade which passes for a "contest" I wonder whether any Western-European country should EVER bother to even attempt to enter it in future?

The word got around that Russia was going to win, and what do you know? Russia won, A FIX!

This "contest" is not about how good a song actually IS, but is more about voting for your buddies in neighbouring countries, particularly if they happen to be in Eastern-Europe.

Political voting is making a mockery of what the contest used to be about, and as usual in recent years, the UK came bottom, with 14 points. At least that was better than in previous years when we got none at all, despite being better than anything from most of the other contestants.

This year, some of these "Songs" defied description, but GARBAGE would seem the apt word to use. Again, the Eastern-European countries (some of them newly joined the EU) vote with their feet for their old oppressors or next-door neighbour countries.

Funny how they were announcing the results in ENGLISH and yes, the winning song from Russia was also sung in ENGLISH!

It is clear, that despite the English language spoken, they hate us, but of course lots of them want to live in Britain, or take the British taxpayers' hard-earned cash via the corrupt European Union. Britain gives BILLIONS to these miscreants.



I vote we LEAVE the European Union, but first offer no more "contestants" to that silly, ridiculous charade called "The Eurovision Song contest". AND other Western-European countries would do well to do the same. Let these Eastern "Europeans" fight it out amongst themselves; without us to humiliate.

I shall no longer bother to watch it, but you can be sure WHO shall get all the points next year, when the contest is held in Moscow.

No contest.



**How is it that Israel enters this 'contest?' I thought it was in the middle-east!

Myleene Klass

Well she maybe a nice-looking woman, but do we really want to see her face plastered all over our TV channels so much?

10 times in one week is a bit too much, and I counted two magazines in my local newsagents with her face on the cover! AND she has a spot on a Classical music station TOO!

This woman is presented as an "expert" on everything. I don't think so. Just tits and a bum which were shown 'adequately' when she was in the Celebrity Big Brother show some time ago.
She has some musical talent; nothing else.

Give us a BREAK TV stations; you must have some other 'worthy' to present your programmes. WHO is promoting this bloody woman anyway??
I switch the friggin; TV off, or change channels whenever she is hoarding the airtime.

The Earth strikes back!

Thousands killed in an Earthquake in China, thousands more in a Cyclone in Burma; a Volcano in Chile which hasn't blown its top for nine thousand years, suddenly decides to do so!

All this within the space of one month. Is the Earth biting back after being raped by the bacteria living on its surface?
We had better wonder, intently.

Their snouts in the trough

What wonderful people British Members of parliament are!
On the one hand they are trying to cut benefits for the sick and disabled, whilst at the same time vote their greedy little selves a pay rise!!
AND not only that, they have tried to stop the taxpayer from knowing just what "Expenses" they can claim: £10,000 for a new kitchen; £750 for a TV and a little less for a HI-Fi system, amongst other items, all for their "second home" Well wouldn't it just be GREAT to have second home too?

These greedy bastards are using the taxpayers' money to feather their own nests, whilst telling us to cut back on our pleasures.
I thought the idea was that MPs were supposed to listen to their constituents not just spend their money and ignore everything the taxpayer demands?
Go and stay in an Hotel Mr or Mrs dishonourable MP., not leech of us.

Oliver Cromwell, come back and help us out, kick these Vultures out of parliament like you did once before!!

Britain's full jails

In the last few days it has been reported that the UK's jails are at bursting point, with the highest ever recorded number of inmates, and only 780 places left.

Is this really a surprise when almost every week we read of people being jailed for years merely for what they have on their computer or who they talk to in a chatroom?
In every instance no physical contact with anyone had been reported.

So what next? Oh yes, it may soon be illegal to pay a woman for sexual favours!
Perhaps a new type of jailbird will be noticed, should that ludicrous law be placed on the statute books. You can bet it ain't men who want it there, but frustrated old cows who haven't seen a dick in years.

We are supposedly a part of Europe, it is only when one travels to places like Amsterdam and Hamburg that we begin to realise just how BACKWARD this bloody country is, and how the full integration with the liberal minded Europeans hasn't really happened.
