 | How blessed I am, to find a copy of the Sun discarded on the train this morning! Although the desire not to look like a racist, hate-filled shitbird has so far limited my reading opportunities, I must share two beautiful moments with you, my fortunate chums:
1) On the letters page, a missive praising the paper for its 10 Ways to Make Britain Great Again campaign, which as I mentioned before veers wildly from picking up litter to suspending the Human Rights Act (a land fit for heroes to be held without charge). By no means unique, this one stands out for its description of the Government as "our politically correct Government".
How in the Blue Hell, I ask myself, can it be a bad thing for a government to be politically correct?
2) On the centre pages, a side article. I imagine, based on no reading beyond the title, that it describes a person who, suffering from some form of mental disorder, had been shot by armed police while waving a samurai sword. However, their choice of headline - SAMURAI NUT SHOT has unwittingly given me the name of my new finishing move.

Ahh yes, such entertainment to b gleaned from left behind papers. I do prefer a second hand copy of the News of the World though, find it so much better informed by the Sun.
Then again they don't have a page 3 girl... ohh decisions, decisions.
"How in the Blue Hell, I ask myself, can it be a bad thing for a government to be politically correct?"
I have wondered this too - by definition it would seem a good idea that a politician or set thereof should be "correct" politically.
In Australia when the thrice-damned conservatives won power (long time ago, in 1996) I saw the following headline: "PM says political correctness is over".
Well, at least the prick was honest about it.
