If there was ever a truer statement made by your good self, then I've yet to see it.

NAT has plenty of ideas .......

Apparently there is a thing called a purity spiral. Interesting prog coming up on Sunday, Radio 4:

BBC Radio 4 - The Purity Spiral

[woohoo]

Why, we're they creationists?

hah, no i think he said something like well deep down we are all monkeys or apes. I tried to find the interview on youtube, skipped through it but couldn't find the reference, probably edited to remove it. Then again, I couldn't be arsed sitting through the thing, just skipped.

I'm pretty left, but in the context of the article I really don't think Bongo Bongo land was as bad as people make out. He was using it to criticise and mock other peoples views on it, in a sort of ironic manner.

I don't particularly like how he did that, and God knows I don't like Boris - but I think the anger around that was misplaced.

I'm pretty left,

you are sinister then?

No idea.

I can understand why Shapland is very upset. As this photo of an ape demonstrates:

Alistair Stuart was calling him a ginge!

If he was really that good, he'd be running the Labour Party by now. Can we mark him down as a total knob-head?

A little more rope should be supplied, he's doing a good enough job himself.

Seems a shame really.

Russel Brand was in America, on a TV or Radio interview. He was being interviewed by two black presenters and he was doing his usual act and making everyone laugh/cringe.

He made some reference to all of us being decedents of monkeys or apes and everyone was like, no you can't say that, no way. You could see the shock on his face, he then started saying we should reclaim this word. At the time I thought this was something peculiar to America, looks like this is now a UK thang.

Shame we are censoring people because someone might get offended, slippery slope. Anyway, I'm always careful with my 39 twitter followers, so im ok.

We should just ban all adjectives & be done with it!
