Josef Fritzl, could have been identified and euthanased at age 6, as all such faulty-product needs to be, to keep high standards of quality-control. Declare Law; it is not War. Joe Brown, former fireman, then cover-artist, now Rock-star, can stoke his old Plaistow mates, locos 80078 & 80104, on Swanage Railway if he likes. Camden Council screws you via a mindless robotic machine. ‘Amazing Tales For Making Men Out Of Boys’ by Neil Oliver from: books.telgraph.co.uk is OK but Masada-method is better than white-shark solution.

The approach I follow in this web log is to eschew the whited sepulchre stance and to admit that I am dysfunctional. I committed admittedly minor but no less real offences between 1966 and 1972. Mega-offender, Josef Fritzl, blames childhood environment for his stiff, bullying, & self-righteous attitude, plus his ultra-selfish, callous & perverted actions. But he is both nature and nurture. Faulty product stalks amongst us. Cull it pre-emptively.
A certain government in a certain country is accused by certain gentlemen of declaring war. In fact, a certain government in a certain country is declaring LAW. It is the same old struggle twixt theist-fascism and secular sanity. And the United Nations Organisation, expected at its founding to become an enforcer of all things positive, progressive and constructive, is in the hands of everybody, including faulty product, so that nobody can do anything.
A letter in the Daily Echo 8 May 2008 corrects the impression of Joe Brown (the cover star) that his first job as a fireman on the footplate exists no more. The writer, who is a volunteer driver on Swanage Railway, points out that there are more than 250 independent railways in Britain, doing steam-hauled tours each year. Locomotives 80078 & 80104 from Plaistow shed where Joe was are now active down here. Joe long ago advanced to Rock genius level.
A lady writes (page 16 of Evening Standard for Tuesday 6 May 2008) that she pulled into a pay-&-display bay at a Kentish Town Road deli and went to put money in the meter. There she read that parking was banned during rush hours so back in the car she got and drove off. A camera had recorded her and her car. Camden Council screwed her £120 which she paid. “There is no leeway with policing by CCTV. A camera has no common sense.”
A biz gent left his Daily Telegraph on the train, Tuesday 6 May 2008. I hate the stupid old broadsheet ungainliness of the thing but it is always stuffed with griff. Neil Oliver (‘Amazing Tales For Making Men Out Of Boys’ go to: books.telgraph.co.uk) seems worth reading. He praises Captain Salmond of HMS Birkenhead, 26 February 1852, for saving women and children in the boats. The sharks got the men. Wot, no guns? Heard of Masada…
