This well rounded comment is from the comments on the Daily Mail's reportage on the Iran situation
at 16:39 David from Altea, Spain said
"How dare Brown whinge to Iran he is far worse than Ahmadinejad and luckily we haven't started rioting YET"
Not someone who engaged brain before shooting his mouth off, I think!
People I know who lived through the Iranian revolution, the subsequent repression, the Iran-Iraq war and so on would find our political system, warts and all, rather preferable to that of Iran.
I suppose it goes to show that crass commentary is not just the preserve of the likes of Niles Gardiner or George Galloway
Needless to say there are plenty of other idiotic comments on the BBC, Times, Telegraph, and just about any other news site that you can think of

Soccer Dog – A Maoist perspective
Scroll down for Wordless Wednesday
It looks to me like harmless entertainment that children will enjoy but then I am not a Maoist. Acording to the Maoist International Movement (MIM) In their view:
“ it was inevitable that we would start seeing more and more movies about pets taking on humyn roles. In "Soccer Dog," a dog plays soccer for a boy's team in middle Amerika and promptly proves to be most valuable player. The obsessed coaches, Mafia dad, profiteering trinket sellers and a whole town mad about sports as long as its team wins is all reality TV on Amerika.Nonetheless, this film is crass trash exploiting people for their love of family and pets. It does nothing but express and reinforce the contentment of the Amerikan petty-bourgeoisie focused on family, pets and suburban life.”
So there you have it. If you believe the Maoists then youyou were reinforcing bourgeois Amerikkkkkkkkkkkkkkan (sorry I should have stopped at just three ks) $tereotypes by showing them this film. Personally , I think the Maoists should stop idolising one of history’s worst butchers and do something a little more productive like getting laid!

The Powerpuff Girls: A Maoist Perspective
The Maoist Internationalist Movement (MIM) is a collection (A collection? IT IS THE COLLECTION, revisionist scum!) of existing or emerging Maoist internationalist parties, mainly in the English speaking world but also in Francophone nations as well as Puerto Rico and Aztlan (those bits of Mexico ceded to the USA in the 19th Century to you and me) .
Predictably, MIM upholds the revolutionary communist ideology of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and is an internationalist organization that works from the vantage point of the Third World proletariat. It struggles to end the oppression of all groups over other groups; classes, genders, nations. MIM knows this is only possible by building public opinion to seize power through armed struggle. Finally, Revolution is a reality for the United States as the military becomes over-extended in the government's attempts to maintain world hegemony (Yawns) Well you get the message. Just don't forget that the USA should always be described as the United $nakes of Amerikkka in Maoist speak.
Not only is MIM is concerned with high issues of Maxrist-Leniinst ideology it also does its level best to ensure that then Lnternational Proletaruat are given the best advice and guidance on the best films to watch
Rotten Tomatoes gives the Powerpuff Girls Movie a 67% rating and contains quotes such as "How can anyone resist a cartoon in which the arch enemy of three crime-fighting schoolkids is a monkey called Mojo Jojo?" and "Almost as much fun for grown-ups as it undoubtedly will be for kids"
MIM on the other hand says this this:
The Powerpuff Girls are the latest of superhero comic strip characters. They are three little girls with superpowers that enable them to fly, build things quickly and fight of course. A mutant monkey decides that simians have lived under humyn (sic) rule too long and uses the Powerpuff Girls to build power for his simian mutant creations. In the end, the Powerpuff Girls kill off hundreds of mutant monkeys, gorillas and apes to win victory.
No doubt these are forceful female characters for young children to imbibe. In that sense, "Powerpuff Girls" may contribute to gender equality within society as it exists. On the other hand, society as it exists seems quick to come up with reasons why massive violence is a good thing.
Like Batman and Spiderman the Powerpuff Girls also fight crime in a one-on-one way. Although it would be no problem for the Powerpuff Girls to build homes for all the homeless and organize food production for the hungry--because we've seen their speed in building crazy mutant monkey bases and laboratories-- they still prefer to fight the relatively minor violence of crime one case at a time instead of resolving its roots or eliminating much larger sources of violence.
In conclusion, the Powerpuff Girls are a reactionary, pseudo-feminist enterprise.
So there you have it! I have never seen the Powerpuff Girls - I don't routinely watch cartoons made for children (or I haven't since I was a kid myself - Okay I admit it... I used to enjoy Rocko's Modern Life!). I know MIM are a ridiculous little pipsqueak faction. That said, the only Great Leap Forward I would like to see these idiots at MIM make is one into reality.

The stupidity of youth
The number of young motorists involved in accidents while under the influence of alcohol is increasing despite anti-drink-drive campaigns.
According to the Metroplitan Police Almost a quarter of all drink drive offenders and casualties in London were aged between 17 and 24. The picture across the rest of the country is similar. Sgt Ivan Stafford, of Leicestershire police, said: "They're the majority of the casualties, they're the majority of the offenders. And the numbers of people being killed in a drink-related accident have increased dramatically.
Figures from the Department for Transport support the police warnings: there were 1,050 17 to 19-year-olds involved in drink-drive accidents in England and Wales in 2005, the latest year for which figures are available, compared with 810 in 1995. For 20 to 25-year-olds, the figure increased from 2,170 to 2,280 in the same period.
Kevin Clinton, head of road safety at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, called for an urgent reduction in the drink-drive limit. He said police should be given powers to breath test motorists anywhere and at any time. "Studies have shown that cutting the drink-drive limit from 80mg to 50mg would save 65 lives and 230 serious injuries on Britain's roads each year," he said.
Okay so the incidence of drink driving is much lower than it was 30 years go, it sems that the message is not getting through anymore to young drivers. If they were just killing themselves, then it would be a stupid wasted of life. Sadly they kill their friends and kill other road users.
Perhaps it is high time that the drink drive limit was dropped to a level where one drink would put you over the limit. Even one drink can impair judgement, whatever we would like to think. At least would cut out some of the ambiguity about how much one can drink before being over the limit.
