Where's the Taliban when you need them?
Frankly, I can't imagine anyone who could rouse me into a homicidal rage more than Jude Law. But if he can sort out peace in Afghanistan then fair play to him.

Make Pompous Celebrities History
From today's Third Sector news:
Levels of understanding about poverty in Africa are lower now than they were before Make Poverty History, according to the latest research.
Public Perceptions of Poverty, a report compiled by Comic Relief, is based on responses from 2,000 people to questions asked at regular intervals from December 2004 until January this year.
The proportion of respondents who were "very concerned about poverty in poor countries" fell from 30 per cent in 2004 to 22 per cent.
In the latest round of research, 57 per cent said they knew nothing about trade justice, and only 26 per cent said they strongly believed that the debts of the world's poorest countries should be cancelled in full. This figure was down from 33 per cent in 2004.
Andrew Darnton, an independent researcher who coordinated the results for Comic Relief, said the findings were "broadly depressing".
He added: "People are more aware that the causes of poverty can be political. However, MPH didn't open up the issues of debt, trade and aid to the public, and there are massive gaps in their knowledge, which nobody in the sector has done anything to address."
Hopefully this will encourage all the sanctimonous climate change bandwaggoneers to stop their preaching

Why I Don't Like Chris Martin
I used to think my loathing of Chris Martin was a little irrational - now I know I was right all along. A quote from a BBC News story:
"Singer Chris Martin has described a track written for Coldplay's next album as "basically genius", saying it could be their best composition yet.
"Singer Chris Martin has described a track written for Coldplay's next album as "basically genius", saying it could be their best composition yet.
The 30-year-old added that everybody "has to hear this song before we die, otherwise we'll be terribly depressed"."
Prat! Self-opinionated smug ponce. I look forward to contributing to your terrible depression you self-righteous git. Go on, bugger off, learn how to smile and not create such an overwhelming level of hatred in my soul.
