So went upto Hammersmith Apollo after work and saw Ricky Gervais doing a stand-up show. After a slow start it got really funny. The title of the show was politics but it was just an excuse to let rip with loads of borderline-offensive humour. Basically the guy, who got famous for writing and starring in The Office, is a left-wing liberal who DJs on XFM the alternative radio station for London so it means he can do jokes about gays, Nazis, the disabled, etc..if he really was right -wing I wouldnt have seen him.
Just about politics, which I find a pretty dull subject but it does give a lot away about people's personalities, I hear people say sometimes that they wont discuss what party they vote for or were their own political allegiances lie. Crazy, unless you are embarrassed about what you believe in and you would only feel that if you know it was essentially wrong. I vote Labour as they are the only vaguely left-wing party over here that can get elected and really they aint much different from the Tories who still cling onto some dust-filled vision of Britain as an island, a little superior world.
All this has been on my mind recently. I dont particularly like England that much . Ive spoken to other people recently and they have said they feel it's their home and wouldnt consider moving but I dont feel that magnetic pull. Its a country burdened with history, so much we cant or simply refuse to leave it behind and face the basic need to modernise.
Rant rant rant.
wow
i love office space. i didn't know that guy wrote it. pretty cool.
if you ever come to america most people will tell you straight up our President is an idiot. you should see how much people make fun of him, yet there's a good chance he'll get re-elected
