the guy was warned … tased and then shot six times, have the american police not heard of wounding someone ? set the dog on you had on him ? hit him with a baton ? shoot him in the thigh ? at least, get him down and cuff the guy and get him off to hospital to recover until his psychological derangement has shifted to more normal pattern when in prison. I suppose this is the true measure 300 million people, whats the loss of one public threatening spade wielding nut ? he was once somebodys son.

Why age and plastic surgery make a bad mix

perhaps why growing old gracefully is a good idea ? plastic surgery does not go well on the face after 50 ?

what an actual mask her made-up / fake face is, a few smears of a tissue reveal the reality which probably looks worse than if she had just left her face alone, at least it would have some natural if aged integrity ?

The article got up to 738 comments and they locked it from anymore comments.

The comment system on the BBC website is token and pointless and here are the reasons why :

1: every comment is censored by a paid human being for political correctness and language, (A total profligate waste of license money) since the comments after this process can never be said to represent free opinion, or allow for any negativity or criticism toward the beeb, it is automatically a pointless system !

In contrast to a ‘were all adults’ approach ie a completely free self moderated system.(all they need is a disclaimer of liability ?) after all if idiots want to chase theyre tail getting upset by comments on a website allow them to, but at least they’ll get a realistic view of the full spectra of opinion of the public ? whereas as the beebs approach has always been to sanitise public opinion to some absurd politically correct fascist liberal agenda > which is in no way democratic.

2: Very few articles do they allow the public any feedback on.

3: They select favourite comments to be “editors picks” giving them prime viewing, a highly subjective secondary form of censorship, which invalidates any worth in most other non picked comments in general.

4: They close comments on an article after a short while(in this case after 739 comments), and do not then add your comment to the article, even if you submitted your comment a large time before they close it for comments, yet before your comment has been through the censoring process. So your comment is then presumably just discarded, making bothering to attempt to comment even more pointless, as your words will most often be wasted.

5: They may well wimfully discard your comment and not inform you or send you a copy of the comment you made thereby throwing the energy involved in its creation away.

Now the point to gain from this is that some people comment on websites because they’re actually desperate for democracy, ie the idea their voice or opinion might make some difference, because lets face it democracy in britain equates to a single popularity contest being held once every four years for a different set of over-priviliged powerful idiots wearing different colour ties to come in and fuckup the country in their own special way. Basically commenting on websites is pointless, the website doesn’t want your feedback, they present your feedback on the site purely to give you the illusory token sense that you have some influence on them so that you feel good about your role as sponge in the push media. do not delude yourself any good comes form commenting on a website. Basically all the media, corporations and governments desperately truly fear the idea of true democracy. Because they presume people are too thick to be allowed an opinion.

THE CORPORATION THAT IS THE BBC IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A PROPAGANDA VEHICLE FOR THE GOVERNMENT, and government itself is now in turn no more than a puppet for international business and corporate interest : learn this …

here is the comment I sent to the beeb roughly from memory, after all they lost my comment in the ether or censored it out of existence :
——————————————————————–
wow you are allowing comments again on the site ! wow thanks beeb !
so I get to have a say in the push media ?
I guess shareholders will have as much success of reigning in executive pay, as cameron did reigning in the immigration figures, ie a laughably pathetic inability to make any difference …
——————————————————————–

There is no correlation between the extent of people’s pay and their talents, that’s the definition of overpaid, when corporations waste money on people, unnecessarily, because they are the people who are deciding whose being paid what. the excuse of competitivity is being given. If cameron wants to control the excesses of the wealth class, all he needs to do is implement taxation that hammers the multiple house owner or property speculator class, basically bar buy to let mortgages beyond a single property, as that will affect all those people who are filthy wealthy. And that will redress the property inequality that is truly at the heart of the inequality and division that is killing UK culture.

I spoke to soon with the “I get to have a say”, my comment did not appear on this article, so if you want your view to appear on the internet copy your comment before posting it, run your own blog like I do and paste it to that, no one will read it mind and you will need akismet (spam comment blocker) for your blog to be even partially functional, but at least its there for posterity, because lets face it you can’t trust any corporation not to censor you out of existence or trash your comment with impunity, whilst simultaneously fawningly market at you, that they care and are desperate to let you have “Your Say” !

keeping the original framework/bones of the building is just a joke, regardless of it’s infamous negative iconic history the building should be demolished, it was built as rabbit hutches for poor people without examining the space a human being needs to live in to feel civilised, and new dwellings created within that framework will create uncivilised lives. Knock the crap down and stop pandering to the ego’s of aging modernist architects who failed culture and are attempting to immortalise for the sake of their egos the cheaply produced crap they knocked out which is sadly the legacy of their shitty careers.

The problem with building anything better today, is that all architecture students are converted into modernist perverts before they’re allowed to practice or interact with the world. The disease is passed from one contaminated mind to another, Architects and designers today have no solidarity with the public, who put up with their disasters, their in the pay of developers, they get their over priced percentage based project profit, theyre masters have one interest money and profit, design is secondary to acheiving those first two perogatives, architects and designers can afford to waste their time deciding which italian / german taps will complement their stone surfaces in their modernist detatched dream house, whilst they employ a million foriegn student trainee’s to satisfy their other dream of engineering a culture of foreign loving internationalist roll necked sweatered ego’s. Who roam around europe working out the solution to rich peoples whims, whilst building ever decreasing in size dwellings, in euro industro park toy town housing schlock in cad programs for the commoners to live in, and the rules fundamentally, lead to crowding more people into less space ! thats not design its a human disaster ? without much hope or end in sight. Whats the ratio of detatched family homes being built over the years ? compared to say blocks of flats however tweely disguised, a declining one I would suggest. And notice how whenever any complaint is levelled about this, the excuse is always being given of cost ? AS though money is the prime perogative of all things, being fiscally prudent is one thing but non tangible money should never dictate the rate of human development or design evolution, because expensive material use is one thing, but better ideas dont necessarily take more time to think up than bad ones, and therefore should not cost more? Notice the only people who benefit from the extortionate rise in property values are developers and those property speculators with multiple homes already on the market. Screw these people, may the rot in human social isolation we allocate for those who demonstrate low moral responsibility towards their fellow brethren so as to line their own pockets with money all the better.

Meaning since 1936 it’s become 12.5 times more expensive for a person to buy a family home in britain ! not including the doubling of that initial price cost by the now essential bank mortgage required to be loaned today in order to buy it, in others words by the time you paid off that £400,000 today you would have paid back roughly £800,000. meaning that multiplier could be as much as 25 times more expensive ? since your not buying outright ? obviously with deposit a bit less ?

No wonder young people are dis-enfranchised by the I’m alright house owning property speculating set ! they’ve benefited from a 12.5 times property increase in relative terms.

When an asylum seeker in this capital is given a family home paid for by housing benefit they are equivalently stealing in value the equivalent of winning the lottery in london for a poor person who doesn’t use the benefits system ? such is the value of a family home in london, and this wanker governement keeps dictating that all these foreign fuckers must somehow be housed at whatever expense, because of bullshit human rights law ? nobody has the rights to live in a £700,000 pound house off benefits ? at the tax expense of the native non claiming poor … its insane, houses are worth too much in relative terms to be giving houses away in london like this > God I hate what this country has become. And the government wonder why there is a growing distance between the moneyed powered housing set in government, and the young self reliant poor of today, who seek the standard of their forebears, home and family.

firstly the outdoor cafe :

expensive tea, coffee and cake dispensed in paper cups, I guess this is the future we have to look forward to as regards cafes in london in general ? mainly consisting of an east european person handing you an ok cup of tea , milk and sugar at least is not lots of little packets, yet it has a strangely over produced tea bag that flops wetly over the side of the paper cup ? at £2.30 a throw ? small square picnic slice of good cake £2.25 (larger slice of of a round cake = more money), Orange Juice £2.25 a throw and the paper and plastic waste and rubbish generated by this operation is outrageous, whether it’s claimed to be recycled or not ? the bin side of the operation seemed to just bundle everything together in the same bins. But I think a lot of these issues at the V&A stem from a lack of real kitchens located anywhere near the actual dispensary of the food, Im guessing perhaps that benugo’s kitchens are off site ? whichever way the courtyard cafe experience at the V&A is ruined by awkward ill proportioned tables and chairs, the tables are quite low like small round coffee tables, it always surprises me when design means we all end up hovering on low slung chairs crouching over tables trying to corral a selection of plastic coated paper cups and paper towels & plates that fundamentally don’t fit the table size or height on offer, no proper cutlery or china here, and the courtyard is such a nice environment architecturally the least they could do is create a cafe that was in keeping with the architecture ? i mean if Kenwood house can manage then why not the bloody V&A ? but im guessing the outsourcers profits leave little space for the civility of china, or staff with an english accent, when I was a student I worked summer jobs and part time jobs that weren’t to inspiring, McDonald’s to afford a ski holiday, various pub and casual restaurant jobs, that’s what they are for, some casual work to pick up some extra cash during the academic climb, by doing these jobs there is an civility of service provided to all which we all benefit from providing a basic structure to our society im guessing young english people don’t wish to look at such jobs even when they’re young, why the people always seem guaranteably east european is depressing. You might say the prices are ok but for the poor by the time youve added 2 adults 2 kids and 1 item to eat your talking practically £20.00 gone, sandwiches and an extra 1 item cake etc nearer to £30/£35 or over. The poor just have to bring a pack lunch and flask thats all dont depend on prices being within range anywhere, which to be honest with you we should all be doing. though iv’e noticed the social stigma /jokes growing towards those who produce flasks of tea ? when really theyre a sign of civility in my opinion, and are truly redilent of decent british culture now sadly seemingly shifting into past culture. Maybe im out of touch, maybe a cup of tea and 1 snack item is now basically £5.00 where ever you go now ?

the V&A need to in house this again for profit purposes for im sure benugo are making plenty ? they’re part of the time bloody warner group for christs sake, they’re not doing it for charity, and up the service to china and decent tables and chairs or something.

Solutions : Larger taller tables, a few more tables sizes that accommodate more than two people.
minimum standard use of porcelain plates and cups, real cutlery and genuine teapots per person which will yield 2 full cups of tea ? Obviously the current situation by benugo has been engineered for minimum staff use ? ie everything is disposable : every cup of tea served generates a paper cup its holder a long droopy teabag, some organic tea leaf waste a bit of flat cake yields a paper plate serviette and plastic fork plastic wrapper being thrown away, now the question is from an environmental perspective what is worse all this paper and plastic waste, or hiring someone to load and clean a dishwasher ? im not sure on the figures on this but i would have thought the waste generation was worse but maybe someones got figures to back this up ? and even if they want to go down this less civilised yet totally disposable road then why go the whole hog to provide a wooden fork with the cake shown on this page which cost about 3p each ? and somehow find a way of making the teabag not some floppy sock of paper leaking over the side of the cup, and have fill lines on the paper cup so the people working the cafe can’t underfill or overfill the cup which seemed to happen to two cups i drank. the disposable road also feels less civilised somehow compared to porcelain ? maybe that just me, it just seems like culture is creeping backwards, like everything is cheap and ephemeral and built for a moment of profit and loss the story weaved by the till.

The Main Canteen

as for the main canteen in the main decorative rooms including the morris room, well i bought a chicken pie and a veg bake hot-pot and some vegetables on a side plate type thing and two cans of drink … price ? £24.95 I know the museum doesnt charge entrance, £25.00 for two people to eat a canteen style lunch ? to be honest with the decor they have to work with, the morris room etc which is lovely visually if a little harsh auditorily due to all the enamelled and tiled hard surfaces, the least they could do is staff some portion of it like a restaurant and keep the prices where they are ? or if its canteen style which is equally preferable and makes more sense from an efficiency cost perspective perhaps, then the least they can do is make the prices reflect that and not be restaurant prices for canteen food held under hotlamps, mains without accompanying veg seemed to cost £9-£13 or a chicken pie in a bowl was £8.95. But to give them some due the pie contained generous portions of chicken and was a quality pie, possibly too much meat and a smidgen to large for some but hey, but none the less they should have at least made the mains include some form of veg as standard, which one can always refuse if one doesnt want veg of any kind. Id say if the chicken pie i was given was say £6.95 without veg and £7.95 including veg then the prices would have been reasonable for canteen food, and any canteen should have an ambition even in its hot food department to cater for all classes monetarily. To me it seems reasonable to say that individual in a canteen should be able to have a soft drink and a hot meal including two veg for £8.95. In The Victoria and Albert it looks more like £12.50 a head for lunch which is a little much im sure for a large number of the visitors, but i guess this operation being benugo also theres going to be the inefficiency of outsourcing and profit for shareholders of the Warner group ?
