Visit London?
I was listening to LBC and the Tourist Trash Industry and hype around London abounds. I was getting really pissed off with all the bullshit. I check out their web site and found this blurb
"...the world’s top city destination London offers an unrivalled choice of accommodation, attractions, tours, restaurants and events..."
There is something wrong with this statement, visit any major European city and you will find "an unrivalled choice of accommodation, attractions, tours, restaurants and events"
Now let's look at the facts
London's transport system is creaky and inefficient - trains and buses are packed to the capacity that would shame a battery farmer.
Public toilets, virtually don't exist in the capital - I'm afraid you will have to poop your pants or piss yourself before you can find anywhere to fulfull your bodily functions.
The streets are filthy and liberally spattered with dogshit.
So there you have it, London is not cracked out to what this hype makes it.

David Miliband - Princess Di All Over Again/
I see that following the news that Blair has allegedly supported David Miliband, Peter Mandelson chipped in and lent his support to the kiddie as well.
The press and media were out in force to find him yesterday. It was like Princess Diana all over again. He was sporting an umbrella, relishing in the adulation, refused to answer questions and denying that he would make a challenge to Gordon Brown.
I am seriously puzzled about this, why the press interest in someone so painfully boring? He's no Michael Portillo nor even a Geoffrey Howe - just a politician who makes politics really really boring!
