What I really, really hate

There's one thing I hate above all else. No, not foreigners. Or Michael Page. Hippies. I fucking hate hippies. That was the best thing about yesterday, watching the police beating these crusty, ferral no-hopers to within an inch of their lives. Makes me want to chuck it all in and join the fuzz.

This brings me on to candidates who don't come to meetings properly dressed. It's only the dross but I loathe them nonetheless. Listen, you shower-dodging lentil-jockey, treehuggers don't get jobs. And don't you dare tell me you'll dress up for the interview. Bastards.

If you find yourself getting wound up today, imagine wearing full riot gear and beating a casually dressed French candidate to with a large baton. Ahhhh.

The Twin Evils of Our Time

What are the salient evils of our time? They are two-fold. One is social engineering, the idea that human beings can be changed, improved and moved about as though they are quantities of cement or concrete. Today, virtually all regimes, whether democratic, dodgy or outright totalitarian, practise social engineering. Not least Gordon Brown’s crumbling New Labour set-up, where virtually all the innumerable quangos it has created are designed to engineer the population in a direction designated by government.

The second, far more serious evil, is the phrase, "I'll have to talk it over with my wife," which some pig-fucker used on me yesterday.

The few remaining Londoners who still have jobs are too busy shitting themselves about job security to be of use to anyone. Arseholes.

Protectionism will do little to create jobs and if foreigners retaliate, we will surely lose jobs

So said Alan Greenspan. Well, hacking around the Robert Walters website I see that Giles Daubeney, who doesn't appear to be a native to this glorious kingdom, is happily working as the COO there. Another foreigner working over here. Frankly, bully for him.

It strikes me that the UK needs to decide if wants the country to be a free labour market - or a haven for protectionism. I have mentioned the pickets greeting foreign workers coming to work for Total before. I'm on the side of the free labour market - except where the French are concered, obviously.

But the government - and a good percentage of the population seem to think we should not let anyone into our lovely country, for fear of the mischief they might cause. Maybe they're right. Afterall, almost all foreigners I have met have been devious and malevolent, eaten up with jealousy about what it is to be British, none too bright and with filthy table manners. You would not leave them alone with your wife for ten minutes. Nor, indeed, with your children. Especially the Australians. A complete ban on these vile people would spare us a lot of moral wrangling over which of them should be allowed in and which condemned to remain in their overheated, squalid and dusty little redoubts.

At the moment official government policy (and indeed the nation as whole) seems confused and haphazard.

Selling Out

A lot of people complain that industry awards ceremony's have sold out - that their prizes can be bought. The topic has been raised on these pages before (see 'Abuse' - I can't be arsed to create a link).

But it's rare anyone actually comes out and admits it. Strange then, that this should land in my inbox, recently.
