You've got to hand it to those wonderful police in Scotland. Someone had the bright idea to trawl through Bebo and Facebook for kids posing with offensive weapons. And guess what? They found hundreds. And what's more they arrested loads of them. And even better, they confiscated tons of knives and guns. Brilliant! So what do they do next? Privately notify all the other police forces in the country of their methods so that hundreds, nay thousands, more weapons are found, the owners arrested and the country a safer place? Of course not. They issue a press release telling the world how brilliant they are. Result? Thousands of Bebo and Facebook profile photos removed overnight. The Police. The unintelligence service.
I had a bit of good news this morning. A recent survey has revealed that the safest job in a recession is teaching. So, being a Maths teacher, our lovely daughter Sarah (above with boyfriend Duncan)is in luck. The least safe job in a recession? Manufacturing. Got any spare rooms love?
Sarah teaches teenagers and I was interested to hear the news this morning that loads of teenagers drink. Blimey it must have taken some serious research to find that out. The researchers also discovered that the Pope is Catholic and bears crap in the woods. But it seems that teenage drinking is now a big problem and that alcohol is addling teenage brains. This should prepare them for a career in the Glasgow police.
There's a National Strike in France today. You've got to admire the French. There's no pussy footing around with them. Their economy is not in anything like the mess that we are in and they are all out. I was forecasting civil unrest here months ago but at the moment we all seem to be letting the daily tally of redundancies wash over our heads without so much of a "flipping heck". As I write this, the morning's total has reached three hundred and it's not even 12 noon. Isn't it time that somebody started a movement? A latter day Jarrow march on Downing Street would be interesting. Or perhaps a Southport march. There are so many closed shops, our redundant shop assistants could start it.
Another baffling team selection from Rafa last night has cost us Liverpool fans dearly. As I mentioned once before on the blog, Lucas Leiva has to be the worst player to don the red shirt for years. As soon as his name is announced on the team sheet the crowd audibly sigh and yet he was picked last night in the game against Wigan and went on to give away a late penalty that cost us two points.If mere mortals like myself and another 40,000 fans can tell that Lucas is not good enough, how can a professional manager not see it?
Oh well. Football is full of people making bad decisions. Look no further than the linesman who ruled the goal 4 mins 20 secs into this video offside.
