Massive snogs to those who braved the tsunami on Tuesday to come and give their most love to the Big ‘Ol BC as they bounced their toons around the innards of the Barfly –Much appreciated y’all.
BC will be taking a wee break until September’s Gwyl Macs Festival, where we will be back, harder, faster and better. Gird your loins people the break will be over soon….And now a long overdue rant….
A couple of things have grasped my goat this week, first off there is the hilarious revelation that most of the Cabinet and indeed, the Shadow Cabinet (Isn’t that an apt phrase when talking about tories) have apparently smoked hash. I say, hilarious but obviously this is meant in the most ironic of terms as the reason we know this is because they are about to once again push it back to Class B and criminalize half the country.. .Two things strike me about this, 1.If any of those ministers had been arrested for smoking hash when it was Class B, they would never have had a political career in the first place, and 2.If, because of the 3,000 laws brought in by Labour in the past ten years, we are releasing ‘real’ criminals from overcrowded jails, what sense does it make to re-criminalise a third of the country?
Of course, a third of the country smoking hash is just my estimate, but consider how many people you know who do or have, I bet it’s more than a third of your friends…If not, what the fuck are you doing reading this blog?
The other Goat Grasping story that caught my peepers was all about Asda and their pissy fit over selling the new Harry Potter and the Hideous Franchise Machine. Why would this annoy? Well, Bloomsbury are selling the book to all retailers for the same price – so, if you’re Mr Small Bookshop buys one copy, he will pay exactly the same as an enormous conglomerate (such as Asda). This basically means that Mr. Small Bookshop has to sell at the cover price or make no profit…However, with ADSA’s enormous profit base they can undercut the cover price of £17.99 and sell the book at a fiver. Oh, Goodie you may be thinking, ‘What a bargain!’, but consider this, if ASDA can do this and whether a loss of at least £10 on every single book they sell, just imagine how this affects the local bookshop. Basically it’s fucked. There is no way it can fight this and inevitably it will close. All very well and fine if you don’t mind your local shops disappearing into a Super-Giant-Hyper-Out of Town Warehouse, but kind of shit if you care about the character, style and general well-being of your local high street.
So, we may live in a country ruled by stoned, hypocritical war-mongering megalomaniacs but you can always console yourself by kicking off your booties, picking up your 3 pence copy of Harry Potter and the Crack-lovin' Whore Bitch while smoking a Fat one and watching your local community disappear into a Multinational Black hole…Now that’s magic.

Do you think that so many politicians are admitting smoking cannabis now because it is currently a 'class c' drug? They seem to have dropped the seriousness of the crime, then all admitted using it, cleared all the skeletons out of the closet, and are now about to bump it back up to a 'class B' substance so they can continue to bust us in our hundreds of thousands, and revert back to fining us a higher amount.
If I hadn't just done a fat line of coke I'd be really angry about this. Currently I'm just feelin' kind of mellow. And a bit sexy.
Yours,
D. Cameron MP
