I never thought I’d say that about a British Prime minister, but Brown has really taken a stand. He has outright stated that he wishes to be nowhere remotely close to Robert “I harm my own people” Mugabe.

What a boy. Meanwhile the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, came with the thunder declaring her rage against human rights injustices. Then she sits with Thabo Mbeki and crumbles.

What is that? She has come forward and endorsed Mugabe’s presence at a summit to take place in Lisbon. She’s an idiot, that’s what I have to say. She has done so many incredible things already in her short time as chancellor. But then she endorses Big Bad Bob’s presence?

This is bad because other EU leaders are as ficle as she is and will jump on the “support bob harming his country” bandwagon.

I applaud Gordon Brown for his blatant disdain for that tosser Mugabe and I only wish that other leaders will take the same, not a similar, the same stand. I cannot for the life of me understand how any leader of any country can willingly stand in the presence of a “leader” like Mugabe. Does it not repulse them?

Screw the “politics” of the situation. Good men and women need to take a bloody stand and make the evil men dissapear (interpret that as you like).

Surely if someone wanted Bob dead, he would be dead already. With all the conpiracy theories running around the world about JFK’s assasination and every other political situation, here’s one for you:

Someone wants Bob alive and in power. Someone, somewhere is shit scared of information that Bob has on them. It may have been the Blair/Bush administration, but that is now gone and Brown’s administration is pissed off with Bob. Good.

I wasn’t fortunate enough to see Survivor SA last night but apparently a goat was “murdered” and left for the tribe to eat. Shock flipping horror, a goat died.

Now on the radio this morning two people called in to a show shocked and appalled that they were “forced” to see a dead goat. Note, they did not actually see the goat’s throat slit, they saw it after the event, dead.

Why I am blogging about this is because vegetarians piss me off. There are various types of vegetarians that I can classify in my mind. For the purposes of this post I am only going to be talking about 2: Political vegetarians and Food vegetarians.

Political vegetarians are making a stand. They don’t eat meat because animals are creatures too and they aren’t shy to let you know that you are a pig, a dog, an animal, a brute and more for eating meat of any kind.

While a Food vegetarian simply does not enjoy eating meat and prefers vegetable. I like this type of vegetarian, I know some, intimately and they are lovely people.

Do you know why they are lovely people? Because they aren’t force feeding me their political bullshit about not eating animals being right. Food vegetarians love to eat, they love to cook for you and love vegetables. I now love vegetables and cooking thanks to a vegetarian of the Food kind.

But on the radio today the two idiots who called in were definitely Political Vegetarians. They were insistent that showing a dead goat on TV was wrong. Let me ask them a question: Do you watch the news on TV? If you do, why aren’t you violently against reading watching and hearing about murder, rape and other violent crimes against HUMAN BEINGS. Do you switch of the TV?

On that point, NO ONE is forcing anyone to watch Survivor and the dead frikkin’ goat. If you don’t want to watch anything like that then change the channel, it’s easy and it’s called self regulation. If you don’t want to self regulate yourself it means that you just want to be political and make a point.

And finally, the two people on the radio (the Political veggies) insisted that “did not like having it pushed down their throat” when the goat was on TV with its throat slit. How is that pushing anything on anyone? Let’s flip the situation around shall we, what if the tribe was forced to only eat vegetables? Would these vegetarians feel that us meat eaters were having their beliefs forced down our throats? Methinks not.

It’s always different in someone else’s shoes, but some political vegetarians are fast becoming like staunch christians who bible bash. Not fun for anyone.

I am pretty irate about this. I don’t understand why the hell the rest of the world is allowing Zim to play in the T20 World Cup? I think it is disgraceful.

Please don’t misunderstand me, I am compassionate about the people in Zim and the players on the team but at the end of the day someone needs to make a stand against big-bad-bob (BBB).

You can argue until the cows come home that sports and politics are seperate but they are not. They are intricately intertwined and there is no disputing it. SA was banned from all international sport in the time of apartheid I think that is 100% spot on.

Sport is something that brings a nation together, creates income and allows you to showcase your country to the world. If you are banned from taking part in major tournaments then your country suffers.

However, this might not be so appropriate, on reflection, in the Zim example. If BBB actually gave a crap about his nation he wouldn’t be doing what he is doing so let’s be honest, who cares if Zim plays or not from his perspective. To him, he has what he wants he is making it happen in his little world. All the while his people are suffering and have to read posts like this written by relatively well-off South Africans who don’t know the true extend of the situation there.

I know it’s easy to cast a dissaproving eye towards Zim and the international sporting community from where I sit, but I truly believe that if I were involved I would forfeit my position in the team if I were playing Zim.

If Manto is not fired very soon then we know that there is something fishy going on.

I call for her to be fired and swiftly. Take a stand Mbeki, for crying in a blood soaked bucket take a goddammed stand.

I am a huge fan of Pink. Those of you who are laughing at me, hold off and watch this video:

This video rings true in more countries than America and could be directed at more presidents than Bush.

I appreciate it when artists take a stand against something that is destroy our culture. They have the power to change things and the power to make a difference. I just wish that more of them would rally together and release singles along the same line, with a similar message at a similar time. Even just as an experiment to see what kind of impact that would make.

I can only image what would happen if Greenday, Christina, Beyonce, U2, FooFighters, Fall Out Boy, PDiddy, Snoop, Eminem and the rest of them all released and anti-Bush campaign (not that kind of bush, calm down).
