Go West

Skimming through twitter before the England game, I came across some of the most upsetting and gory photos I have ever seen. Ukrainian men hanging dead in the nooses around their necks, two of whom have clearly been castrated, probably before they were hanged because that’s what some Russians are doing. There are words for this stuff but the two that spring to mind are war crimes. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal and what’s more the odds of him being taken to The Hague to stand trial are virtually non-existent. He’s no better than Hitler.

Putin is a fascist dictator, just like Adolf Hitler was a fascist dictator. The unhinged rapper, Kanye West, disagrees, saying that actually Hitler did have a few good points. Just ask those horrible Jews.  I mean, West actually said stuff like that. Wearing a gimp mask while being interviewed by conspiracy nutcase Alex Jones, he strode manfully into the world of actual fascism and genocide. The bloke who was responsible for it all was a misunderstood guy. And West himself? Oh, he didn’t mean it. He’s mentally ill.

It is at this point when I point out that I am mentally ill and strangely don’t think Hitler was a decent type or that Jews are bad people. The exact opposite, actually. us mental folk are, I suspect, more likely to show sympathy to the oppressed and not line-up alongside cretinous fools like Kanye West.

What was it that the great singer songwriter David Crosby said about him? “He can’t write, sing, or play at all. He is an egomaniac, he is dumb as a post, he creates nothing, helps no one. An idiot and a poser … (who) has no talent at all” Quite.
