I had to drop my normal, calculated mask of indifference to the machinations of contemporary politics on reading this post on Ceridwen Devi's site. Obviously, reading the Independent is not to be recommended at the best of times (I mean, does anyone have ANY idea what they're going on about most of the time??), but to do so - quite shamelessly, as this dozy tart did - so close to the Prime Minister's house and so near the anniversary of the week on which HIDEOUSLY WARPED BRITISH-BORN MUSLIMS BLEW THEMSELVES UP ON LONDON TRANSPORT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THAT'S NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WAR IN IRAQ (that's deliberately shouty, btw..), well, it just beggars belief, doesn't it?
Fortunately, thanks to that nice Mr. Blair, there's now a law against it - reading the Indy, that is - not hideously warped British-born Muslims blowing themselves up on London Transport because of something that's nothing to do with the war in Iraq (although it is illegal to glamorise them once they have, apparently. Which must take some doing...) Initially, there will be a trial period during which the self-styled "It is, are you?" newspaper will only be banned within a 5 mile exclusion area of the PM's pad. And Colchester. Then it is hoped to roll this zone out, much in the manner of the Congestion Charge and Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott (well, he has to be good for something, doesn't he?), to the rest of the south east and parts of Scotland before Christmas. Analysts predict that the Independent will have been completely outlawed before the 2012 Olympics. That'll slow that James "Bloody" Lawton down...
A step in the right direction in the war against terror, I'm sure you'll agree - although I can't help thinking that they might have been better off banning The Cuntiad first. Still, it's surely only a matter of time....
