Fantasy Art in the News
Fantasy art rarely features in the news. So tickle me pink when I found this excellent example on Barkingside 21 (CLICK). But it's not fantasy! It's an artist's impression of new Brit. technology soon to go on trial off Scottish shores. Undersea prisons to house the overflow from our packed jails? No. Red Ken's answer to London's housing crisis? In his dreams, maybe. Offshore detention centres for all those girls the Baltic Mafia smuggle in for prostitution? No. Secure accommodation for suspected Muslim terrorists who keep absconding from house arrest? Good idea, but no. Gordon Brown's idea of holiday camps for the masses? No. These are buoys to harness wave energy, developed by UK company AWS Ocean Energy. How boring! Who needs hi-tech energy devices? All we need is to get our massive population of unemployable immigrants pedalling power-generation bicycles wired to the National Grid. Simple. On yer bikes, lads.

Who's unemployable?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/06/22/nschools122.xml
It's our own children and grandchildren who will be the lost generation of unemployables, after being promised they'll be popstars, sports-stars and models in Nulabour's brainwashing factories.
Yours,
1980s unemployable
Judging by the English I hear from today's kids in Ilford and those interviewed on BBC News, I think the majority are unemployable. But these kids aren't thick, as they were in my time at school (we were streamed on IQ). They're all suffering from dyslexia! Poor little souls!
I know one lad who has been officially diagnosed as "dyslexic". His written English is atrocious. But he's keen on botony. He can write lists of botanical Latin names without a single spelling mistake! (I can't do that.) Dyslexic? Not when he's interested! In my day, we were forced to be interested; we got a clip round the ear if we weren't. I recall being caned in front of the whole school for flicking a pea across the dining table! Now the teachers can't touch kids and New Labour wonders why teenagers are all stabbing one another in the streets.
I'm afraid pain and punishment do get the message across.
Did you hear the one about...
...the professor who says "dyslexia is a social fig leaf used by middle-class parents".
Ruffled a few feathers that one.
I saw it on the news. What a howl of protest went up! All those middle-class mums being told their briliant dyslexic kids are merely thick or badly educated.
