What Does A Hippie Horse Eat?

Hay, man ....

BNPiss Off!

I have not really been sure how to respond to the news that the British National Party - a fascist, racist, anti-semitic has just won two seats in the European Parliament. My first reaction is RACISTS RAUS! (No offence to any German speakers for using your language but it's potent for me). My second is polemical, fearful: Is Europe being won back by the fascists? The deepest fear of a lot of Jews is that another Holocaust could happen (often used to justify the bloodiest, most unjust right-wing Zionism, but that's another story). Fact is, my grandfather was in Auschwitz and that wasn't so long ago, historically speaking. But my training as an historian instantly combats those initial emotional responses: no, it's not the 1930s all over again, recession or no recession.

But this is still shitty news. Surely, though, there are more of us than there are of them? More thinking, feeling, truly civilised humans than that human detrius of morons, saddos, loons and locos. Nick Griffin (isn't he the father from Family Guy?) just got some feedback from a less than adoring public but it's not enough. What the hell can we do to undermine their support? (Non-violent measures preferred, but all will be taken under advisement ...)

A Very P-ed Off Dr P.

PS. David Cameron, some advice: Maybe stop fraternising with the Polish meshugenneh voytek kholera yasneh brothers, otherwise it won't just be fringe Left-loonies calling you a fascist colloborator. Cheers, mate. x

Sweet William: 1993 - 2009

Life is precious, no matter who owns it (or, more accurately - poignantly - leases it). There's a house in Manchester, England (or, more accurately, a home, such is the lifeblood that pulsates through it) that would well serve as a model for most societies. It is a place where a variety of species of various ages and needs co-exist (mostly!) peacefully. A place where everyone - from twin to dog to tortoise that was - is nourished and needed and has a place that is uniquely theirs.

The loss of William, and the fact that it is keenly felt by so many, is a testament to S, our very own Dr. Do-a-lot, who does so much to advance love between all creatures, great and small.

RIP, Willie.
