I told the Tories that I wouldn't stop! Part 1 - Target: Cameron

Some more anti-Cameron memes I came up with.  I hope you enjoy them!

A very blue December

As regular readers will know, I lost my beloved cat Merlin six months ago and you will have noticed that I haven’t done much in the way of blog writing ever since.  Merlin was not just a cat to me; he was my son, my best friend and my feline avatar.  The pain I felt the day he died in my arms is still as fresh now six months on as it was on that day.  I still feel the way his body went limp in my arms as he slipped his mortal moorings to what I hope is a better place.  This is the first Christmas I will not have Merlin with me and it is killing me.

I have decided to slightly alter the lyrics of a Barry Manilow song that fit how I have been feeling for the last six months.  I hope the writers (Chris Arnold, David Martin and Geoff Morrow) don’t mind but I really need to make people understand why I couldn’t possibly think of getting another cat and this seems to be the best way.

"Can't Smile Without You"

You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I felt sad when you were sad
I felt glad when you were glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

Merlin came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who would of believed that you were part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away

And now you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I felt sad when you were sad
I felt glad when you were glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile

Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I'm finding it hard leaving you behind me

And you see I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I felt glad when you were glad
I felt sad when you were sad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

I miss you, Merlin.

Another letter to the Thurrock Gazette

I recently sent another letter to the Thurrock Gazette - this time in response to my local MP's blog about her reasons for wanting to bomb Syria.  I knew that the full letter would have cuts for length and edits for some colourful descriptives of certain people so below I include my original letter and the version that found itself in this week's Gazette.

Why am I not surprised that Jackie Doyle-Price wants to bomb Syria?  There are three very good reasons for her wanting to do so.

1) She has so much blood on her hands with supporting the cuts to welfare that have so decimated the poor, sick and disabled members of UK society, forcing them into such dire straits that they either commit suicide or simply die, that a little extra blood hardly seems to matter.

2) David Cameron, a sabre-rattling warmonger, wants HIS war.  Maggie had the Falklands which boosted her popularity in the eyes of the Great British public.  Blair had Iraq, an illegal war to be sure and one for which he will, hopefully, be brought to justice for taking the UK into under false pretences, but it was his opportunity to show himself to be a true leader, blood-thirsty and deceitful but a leader nonetheless.  If poor Cameron doesn’t get HIS war, he’ll throw a hissy fit.

And finally, 3) being a mindless Tory automaton, she has no thoughts other than those she is given by her leader and because Cameron wants to bomb Syria, so does she.

Of course, if any of the pro-Syria bombing proponents actually thought for a single moment, they would realise that every time the UK bombs somewhere in the Middle East, we increase the number of people who buy into the idea of hating this country as being a valid ideology.  If Doyle-Price and her controllers have their way, the UK will have earned itself hundreds, if not thousands, of new enemies and probably given a few more UK citizens a reason to radicalise.

There was me thinking that the Armed Services were there to defend the country rather than make new enemies but I suppose that’s a naïve view in a UK controlled by people with fewer principles than a serial killer on a killing spree.

I'm actually surprised at some of the stuff that did make it into the cut but I suppose they were left otherwise there would have been some empty space left.

I'll keep going until the Tories give up and go!

Here are some more memes on my favourite subject...

Feel free to distribute them around the web!

Some memes for my local MP

Hi folks!

I know I seem to have been neglecting my duty towards my local MP, Jackie Doyle-Price, since the General Election in which she somehow managed to increase her majority and I can't have her thinking I don't care anymore so here are ssome memes I made up especially for her.

Enjoy!
