In the news

If it seems I haven’t been making many observations about society recently, that’s only because I haven’t had the time to even look at the news. When I do pick up a free paper in Leicester Square I see the same kind of agonisingly politically correct nonsense yet again:

The London Paper:

1. “Beauty Parade fuels an ugly scene”. A bunch of butch looking feminists take offence to women lucky enough to be better looking than them enhancing their status by entering a beauty contest. They hold up placards saying “every woman is a queen”. The word “jealousy” inescapably springs to mind. But they need to get over it – nobody is being exploited, except men, perhaps. As one entrant says “We chose to be here – no-one forced us”. So what if these women are good looking? That’s only one thing. And every woman is not a queen: it depends on conduct as well as looks, and few have all that it takes.
2. Yet another protest by British muslims – this time they have the gall to hold up placards saying “Muslims rise against British opression” as brave troops (who might not even have wanted to be there in the first place) return from Iraq. They call them “butchers”. The police can do nothing about this.
3. Finally, a photo competition, one of the three shortlisted being that of a Muslim woman, covered head-to-toe (thus preventing any opportunity of integration), pushing a baby along in Brick Lane, east London. Behind her lies a wall criminally graffittied. This is described as “the vibrant, multi-cultural East End”. It isn’t really vibrant – it is mainly drab and run-down. Just go there and have a look. It isn’t really multi-cultural either (unfortunately) – it’s mono-cultural with cultures living side by side but not integrating – or indeed even approving of each other. Maybe that has something to do with Islam forbidding relationships between muslims and non-muslims.

I’m home now, and I’m pleased the papers are even mention these stories, even though they cast them in such a PC light. On the Internet, not working for anyone, we can state things as they actually are.
