Sam Pepper should be arrested for all the misogonistic videos he posts. but of course it is all a joke.

So Lewis Hamilton won the Italian Gran Prix. but there are allegations that the race was rigged so he would win.

and of course a black guy cant win fairly without some doubt.

Post Colonial research

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_the_United_Kingdom 

taking a look at racism in the UK we are told by The British Crime Survey that in 2004, 87,000 people from black or minority ethnic communities said they had been a victim of a racially motivated crime. Thats incredibly steep for somewhere considered a leading nation in the 21st Century. Also some of the laws passed and politics introduced in the 80s still had impact on peoples lives as the private sector still has no anti-discrimination legislation.
One argument of increasing racism is attacks like the 7th July London Bombings where a surge in hate crime was reported by the police.

This 70s TV show is quite astonishing for BBC nowadays however I can understand some of the origins of the jokes like mocking pronunciation but there are other jokes or comments that are extremely inappropriate like the name of the teacher 'Brown' causing confusion or insinuating racial inequality. Its certainly interesting to see what people found funny and entertaining during that era but disturbing as most of what is said would cause a media and political frenzy.

Hmm not sure if this is comedy.. 
around 17.20 he discusses ethical traditions especially food and how stereotypically black people just eat chicken and dont know about vegetables (according to white americans they dont) but his sense of humour that questions why people think certain things all be it with a lot of swear words... but i understand his confusion and explanation about interactions with naive and stupid people especially in San Francisco at the beginning.

A2 woohoo

we're back!

EU energy-saving rules cut power of vacuum cleaners

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/10423431/EU-energy-saving-rules-cut-power-of-vacuum-cleaners.html 

Im sorry but this is the most bizarre choice of regulation for the EU.
For most of europe, its hot so they have tiled floor but for a lot of people their vacuum cleaners are hugely important especially my cousin who has a Springer Spaniel and the hair gets everywhere... how is it right for a body such as the EU to say what kind we have to use in our homes.
Last time I checked, no one in this country cares about the EU and Im probably not alone when I say surely there are more important goods that need to be scanned and regulated.... guns maybe? or even trading of illegal substances or exotic animals?
But Im not sure how vacuum cleaners need to be limited in their power... so say to be more green but I dont see that it will create that much of an impact with huge industrial plants burning tons of coal a minute... sorry but this is taking the mick.

Without a doubt the most heartbreaking piece of news of the year so far.

Ok I know its not exactly, what with all the tragedy in the middle east, but it's brutal to realise someone who brought so much laughter wherever he went wasnt happy with his life...
A brilliant actor and wonderful character, the world will seriously be less bright without the one and only Robin Williams. 

I cant breathe...... the (hiatus) end is in sight
