Pete Doherty

After the excruciating nails on blackboard performance at Live8, the press i.e. the guardian seems tothink the crackhead is some genius.
He can't sing, he's a crackhead, his band is shit, please get the mother fucker off the media.
Touted by some as a genius( 16 year olds), the rest of the population is of the opinion he is a total wanker.

Do us a favour, peter Doherty, the shit your arselicking fans tell you isn't true. Fucking crackhead.

FUCK NEW LABOUR

ID cards legislation has sailed through after servile MPs(with the notable exception of the usual rebels) helping a stranded PM prevail yesterday.
I have often repeated my assertion that new labour are authoritarian CUNTS and this confirms it. How will this big brother scheme work? Does the public realise what the contens of the databse are going to be ?
49 separate pieces of information in the database, no approximation of the cost to citizens- Indeed, the gov't is hiding behind commercial sensitivity and thus, failing to reveal the cost; How is it possible to update all this information? Will Irish citizens be required to carry the card?

I'm so disgusted by this hideous legislation, Bob Marshall Andrews QC, summed up how i feel about the legislation: It is a bad bill.
It won't work, i won't pay for my civil liberties to be infringed by authoritarian, wankers like Blair and Brown.

Religious caricatures vs fundamentalism

Following the recent furore over the Danish newspapers printing cartoons of Muhammad, it seems European newspapers have come to the aid of their colleagues in Denmark by printing the 'offensive' cartoons.
I applaud their courageous stance for the following reasons:
Europe is not a theocracy; thus, the printing of the cartoons depicting the founder of a religious ideology should not be forbidden. I would also support any brave soul who would do likewise in a muslim country.
Criticism/satirising/ offensive caricatures of religious figures is part of a healthy democracy and we should not be subject to the offensive death threats, bomb threats by superstitious masses.
Perhaps this highlights the difficulty encountered by Salman Rushdie in the late 80s when the satanic verses was published. Censorship prevents reform, discussion, and is the hallmark of dictatorships( i should know, i lived in one). Europe underwent various stages of religious barbarity: Galileo and the vatican, the inquisition, witch burning, genocide, ethnic cleansing etc.
It is therefore right, that we shouldn't defer to religious books and accept that criticism of figures such as Muhammad, Jesus, Abraham et al are acceptable and necessary for debate, and for protecting the idea of free speech.

Long live secularism. Bravo Jyllens post, France Soir, and all the other European papers that strive to support and protect free speech.
