Sunday's roundup

You can't always do the right thing on blogs, either you wait till you've got something to say and people find no new posts, or you come back regardless of what could be reported. But I always saw that as a challenge and looking back can see I always find something once I open the box.
Looking as an accountant would, I've had a pretty raw deal recently. No real profit, and although no real losses a company that only breaks even will not be a successful or happy one either. Having a rival article printed on the day mine could have been used was yet another setback as well as the huge contract jam on the last TV programme I did that's been struggling to stay alive for years since being filmed. The little government issue generates new queries to be answered almost daily, and no, it doesn't serve us right, benefits are either gained legitimately or fraudulently and are not awarded as a matter of opinion or discretion, they make the rules of eligibility and you either qualify or not. Anyone who's fraudulent is stealing and the others by law are entitled to them, whatever the working people think. But I'm not going to filter what I talk about just because others don't approve. I'm sure if I was gay (as was also suggested) I'd get all the other lot after me but that is the structure of the internet. The minority actually create and the others like to destroy it rather than do anything constructive themselves and be open to the comments of the many millions of others like them I meet daily on Youtube. Had I the heart to read them again I'd save a few of the best so you can see the standard collected in the one place but if you go to any Jewish graveyards that have been desecrated then you'll see the same comments there with the swastikas.
No doubt at least one reader will say it's their own fault for being Jewish and why don't they go to Israel/leave Israel/convert to a proper religion or whatever the current preference they have to cleanse the world of the ethnic filth that is the Jew. If you think I'm exaggerating just look at the comments on Jewish videos on Youtube. I said to one how ironic it is if you mentioned the 'N' word anywhere on the public internet the CIA would probably abduct and imprison you, but antisemitism is happy to be represented 100% in the open. And for the hard of thinking out there (you know who I mean) I mean both should be stopped rather than both represented, but nowadays I know I need to spell things out in words of few syllables.

Besides all that I have run out of ideas. Till now I'd been working a day in advance but there's only so many ideas that way. I'll have to let the world direct me now and that usually means rejecting invitations from people I don't want to see or go out with and being left with sod all else. My postcards will arrive in a week or so and although they cost me more than the shops charge will see if I can twist any arms in local shops just in case. I can't see asking 75p or so for a postcard is that bad, except the others cost 50p as they are printed in thousands. Or I'll just give them away.
It did occur to me today that if any of you met me in person I'm far more controversial online than I am in person. Literally the only time I'm assertive in the real world is in my car as on the road we are all equal. They can't see the person inside from afar and only the car so never allow anyone to take advantage by trying to push me out of the way. But of course most of them use the same principle as they'd never dare to try and push others out of the way unless they were in their cars, so driving is the nearest activity to the internet as people behave far worse in cars and online than they ever dare normally as anonymous. There you go, stream of consciousness insight process.

I just hope in a year the imagined future hasn't materialised and nothing new has happened. And in two years. Mind you, I did just have the first message from someone I knew that had seen me on TV (after 2 years). So that patience has been rewarded. Which is why I imagine the comparitive effect in a newspaper (a BIG one). Which may well not be possible to discover in reality. And be sure, any work I may not be doing now was made up for in the past. But as I wasn't blogging in the 80s and 90s you can only see what I'm doing now. But they were rewarded at the time. And a final thought, has anyone besides the communists ever criticised the aristocracy who see working people with contempt as they have never needed to work despite going to the best schools and colleges before retiring. Most people still look up to them yet like to piss on the ordinary people who have hit hard times for whatever reasons. And they are often MPs as well, look at the new benefits laws. A study was made once in Paris that showed it was cheaper to let people ride the trains for free but they decided it wouldn't look good politically. The Green Party found one useful statistic amongst all their other dross, most western countries could let everyone go on benefits with no tests as the reduced admin and huge workforce to administer and enforce the money would be available for everyone, working or not. It was called the basic income policy, and actually considered in Ireland. Many of the Monster Raving Loony policies became law decades later (I'm sure a list is around somewhere but I can't be bothered to spend ages digging it up), but it takes the vested interests at least that long to be pulled off their gravy trains. Look at what they did to hereditary peers. Their poor kids won't be able to sponge off the rents of the tenants any more for an infinite time ahead. What does everyone think of that?
