The National

Greetings followers and casual readers. Today I thought I would have a rant because I have not done that since a moth based one months ago and this interweb of ours is suffering from a distinct lack of my opinions recently.
Today's rant is inspired by the news that the USA is taking steps to stop this country of ours influencing them slightly. Libel laws from the UK are going to be ignored by them over there and that's fine, I am not here to cast aspersions on this decision. It just got me thinking... Why is this country so terrible. I mean I realise that it is a relatively succesful democracy but that does not excuse it from the fact that it is so miserable. Even when The National sing about it they sound so melancholic and resigned. Although it is quite a good song.

Issue No. 1: We cannot look after ourselves. Our stupid elections were terrible and now we have an awful government that is going to effectively set fire to everything that is fine and working. Literally, I have seen the paperwork. Lots of people, myself included, just cannot seem to understand that when you do not have any money you should not be spending any. But it is alright because there are lots of other people we can pin that one on.

Issue No. 2: You are all so scared. I recently read some articles about the terrifying effects of other cultures. Apparently there will be a massive clock in Saudi Arabia soon and that is the worst news ever. They will be in control of time across the world and then someone will come and take away Big Ben! No. Maybe lots of people might use it as the standard for time keeping, but thats not terrible because the time will still be the same and Big Ben is old, maybe it is alright for something new to have a go. And then there was another one about Islamic art being in a police station. This of course means that all policemen will soon be trained as suicide bombers. Or maybe it is because most of the best culture comes from religion and Islamic art is so much more impressive that Christian art.

Issue No. 3: Fucking hypocrites. Like what I just said before so many people who get so scared and offended by the religious behaviour of other countries do not seem to realise that this is not a secular country. Christianity is the belief of the land and it is the whimsical church of England as well that was just a convenience move by Henry VIII. Plus Christianity has done countless terrible things. And everyone who complains about immigrants better look at their contribution to the country before they winge about a group of people who, more often than not, work really hard and do good things.

Issue No. 4: Miserable. Cheer up everyone. So many faces around are drooped in sadness and people think that I am weird when I am smiling on the tube. You are weird for hanging weights off the sides of your mouth. Oh wait, sorry, thats just your face.

Issue No. 5: Terrible contributions. What do us brits give to the world these days? The commonwealth is doing more harm than good thanks to India being shitty with the money. And then when we send our politicians around they do fuck all except talk about exchanging art. Maybe we do alright musically but rarely anyone but us wants to listen to that. With films we are taking away loads of funding for no good reason so they will get worse. And television wise we have a few gems but most of the effort seems to be going into generic tat. And on top of that we have channels like BBC3 and Viva (which makes me sick to my stomach) sucking out all of the creativity and intelligence from everyone.

And the weather is shit and no one likes us and we complain all of the time. I mean just look at what preceded these words. 
Rant over.
