IF

I don't know why anyone complains about British TV. I switched on last night to find that Mark Thatcher was admitting to his involvement with the coup plot in Equatorial Guinea, or OIL RICH Equatorial Guinea as the news pointed out. Of course he's getting a fucking suspended sentence in exchange for a quarter of a million but its nice to see one Thatcher arms dealer brought to justice. There is going to be such a party when his mother dies and people under 30 are going to be scratching their heads wondering why.

I switched over to the BBC to watch the ground breaking IF docudrama which put forward both sides of the drug legalisation debate (which no one in government will touch) in a fantastic if slightly over the top "future shock" dramatisation followed by an equally fantastic debate. Docudrama seems to be the in thing on TV. I wonder how could I make Finsbury park into a docudrama? Would hajj and Abdullah star as themselves? Maybe we could recreate Belmarsh complete with Abu Hamza and his too long toenails.

In between all this was the news which went on and on about the US finally giving up their search for WMD and the COLLOSAL INTELLIGENCE FAILURE which was the MAIN REASON for the war in Iraq where over a thousand American soldiers have already lost their lives. It's pretty easy to see from the news in the UK what is happening in the world eh?
