The french are upset. Their entry for this years Eurovision Song Contest is to be sung in... wait for it... English! No, surely not.... The French are proud of their language, once the language of diplomacy. It seems that a nation whose quest to eradicate english words in their conversational language has now reached the ultimate irony. French politicians are dismayed - but good grief people, are you really taking the Eurovision Song Contest seriously?

 

Worsening Situation of the Week

This accolade definitely goes to Zimbabwe. Mugabe is determined to hold on to power and wants the vote recounted. Outbreaks of civil violence are reported. Armed chinese soldiers are reported in the country. A shipload of chinese armaments for Zimbabwe is refused permission to unload its cargo. The opposition claim a state of undeclared war exists. Robert Mugabe blames Britain for everything. Its all getting very predictable isn't it? But have you seen his moustache? What is it with dictators and moustaches? Are moustaches a symptom of megalomania? If his facial hair gets any worse, expect bad things to happen in Zimbabwe.

 

New Arrivals of the Week

The British National Space Centre, an organisation that co-ordinates civil space activities across government departments, is leaving London for a new home in Swindon. I welcome our cockney visitors and would happily take them to our leader. If any organisation is qualified to move to Swindon, its the BNSC. Lets face it, Swindon is full of aliens these days...

mugabe won his war against the British with the training and the assistance of the north koreans. I'll bet that the ordinary folk wish that you Brits were still there. As a matter of fact, I wish that King George were ruling America rather than king georgie poo the bushe.

We haven't been at war with Mugabe - he just uses us as a scapegoat to take attention away from the fact he's clueless about how to run the country. Further, his quest to remain in power has seen his country turn from being the breadbasket of Africa to just another chaotic and despotic african hell-hole. As it turns out, the only reason he wanted a recount of the votes was so he could track down those who hadn't voted for him. As for ordinary folk, I've no doubt there's a few who look back at how things were and wish it were so again - many don't, they prefer their independence at whatever cost, and there are plenty of people that think Mugabe is the best thing since sliced bread and is trying to save Zimbabwe from British invasion.

 

Thank you for your faith in british rulership. Sadly, since George III has recovered from his madness some time ago, its unlikely we'll be back :)
