Binge On Crack & Tiramisu

I shall start posting here again, not that anyone’s reading.

Last night, I reached the final 3 Episodes of Battlestar Galactica. A thought came to me, should I watch them? Because watching them means the end. That’s it, no more. How it end’s will stay with me every time I watch an episode. Will the ending make me feel like it was worth watching everything that went before it? Maybe I have more selfish reasons for it to carry on. Maybe I don’t want it too end. I made me invest time in to characters that as funny as it sounds I’ve come too attached too. I can honestly say no other program has made me feel this way. Then again, I don’t think many have an ending planned out. Most end with a way of resurrecting the series if needs be. There is always a way to bring about a return, I think only Space: Above and Beyond comes anyway close to giving a satisfying end to a series.

So should I watch? Well, I did anyway and it was a satisfying ending. It did end with a purpose and had something to say. It also gave, pretty much, no real chance of a return. This was Battlestar Galactica and this is all it could be. There will be no more, until the next reboot, that is. If it’s half a good as this one, then it’ll be another great show.

Saturday the 6th of June, 2009, marked the 65th Anniversary of the D-Day landings, which eventually lead to the defeat of the Fascist Nazi Germany. Whose atrocities include the genocide of six million Jewish people. What did the UK do to remember this solemn occasion? Well, it voted in two far right racists in the form of members of the British National Party to the European Parliament.

Who are these two lovely people we decide to elect to represent us? Well, the first is BNP leader Nick Griffin. This lovely man is a holocaust denier, he calls it the holohoax. He has been involved in far right politics since he was 15 and has been seen with other members of high profile right wing organisations, including the leaders of the KKK. The second man is Andrew Brons, who was once the leader of the National Front, another extreme right wing group. Below is Andrew Brons Stechford By-Election Flyer:

For more on Andrew Brons, go here.

Right, that enough of them. What can we do to show that we didn’t want these people elected?

• Hope Not Hate have set-up a online petition – Not In My Name – which the plan to send to send on the Day the two take their seat in the EU Parliment.
• Spinneyhead has produced a ‘Nick Griffin is not my MEP‘ and you can buy stuff with it on from here.
• On the 14th of July, these things take their seats in the EU Parliament. On that day, their contact details should appear here for Brons and here for Griffin. It’s only fair as representatives of you that you should be able to contact them and tell them your views.
• More will be added as and when?

• @playspymaster I want an invite! #
• Right, off to vote. Make sure you do to? Wouldn’t want any of them BNP people getting in. #
• I’d like to apologise to the rest of the Europe for the retards who voted for the BNP and got this thing elected – http://bit.ly/Qv5BA #

Saw this on Boing Boing and thought is was worth a reblog.

openrightsgroup.org have asked all UK candidates standing for election on Thursday (June 4th) what their views are on certain digital rights. The four they asked about were Copyright Reform, Privacy Online, Surveillance State and Open Internet. You can find out who has replied and what their response was here.
