Dhananjayan Sriskandarajah drew attention to the media treatment of asylum seekers, citing one case last year in which the Sun ran a front-page story about asylum seekers who were allegedly barbecuing the Queen's swans; it turned out not to be true, and highlighted the way in which a slandered group cannot defend itself. The Sun was eventually forced by the PCC to issue a "clarification" (on page 41), but by then the damage had been done. He said something should be done to prevent wrongful reporting when it had a clear and negative impact on vulnerable minorities.

Barbequeing swans? for fuck's sake.

Do you suffer from mental?

Man! I did the indie test again just to prove to myself that I'm not actually that indie, and I got 99% could I BE any more indie?
Worst programme EVER!

My Crush With Eyeliner

How can I stand and laugh with the man who redefined your body??
I'm listening to Cold Blooded Old Times by Smog, its such a lovely song. The mystery song that I loved for...many years. Maybe seven. Then last year I found a tape with that song on in my house but it wasn't anyone's (grammar?), which was good. Then my old flatmate Leonard Hatred heard it a club and texted me to tell me what it was. Sweet Joy.
It was funny, I was sat in the canteen at work...ugh, and I had a sense of déjà vu. I was reading the Diary of Adrian Mole 'The Wilderness Years' (I thought I might pick up some survival tips..) and I remembered how 12 years ago (fuck!) I was sat in the school canteen reading the Diary of Adrian Mole aged 13 and whatever. The head of the British Section an amusing (although I was just scared of him because I was lazy, naughty, and late) man came up and told me what a good book that was. I was scared though, because of reasons outlined previously and also because I thought book was somehow rude..or slovenly. I think I was too young. Anyway back in the work canteen, well it was just a bit strange that's all really.

I've just come out of my yearly depression, I think, its just when winter is STILL dragging on plus a sense of pre-quarter life crisis (hence the Adrian Mole); but it might just be a fleeting respite (very poetic ms_moron!) because I've got a weekend of fun planned. It's Phil's birthday on Sunday, so we're all going to Hove Town Hall Ale Festival..sweet sweet festival. Its all Status Quo cover bands, big beardy men, Dungeons and Dragons playing nerds, young morons like myself, burgers and mash, free commmemorative glasses. Its beautiful.
Aaah, and now I'm listening to 'Bonnie and Clyde' by Serge Gainsbourg....mmmmm...and my flatmate has just given me a Creme Egg for no reason.

-Oh by the way, I don't think I'm that indie...it was more of a 'do you like Belle and Sebastian, red wine and charity shops?' quiz. Yes, yes, and thrice yes.

Rejoice, rejoice!!

how indie are YOU?

Indie Supremo So you think 90 is respectable?

Well done my friend, You are indeed Indie as Fuck. This seasons look for the boys includes cords, thick black framed glasses and more badges than fingers. For Girls......well, pretty much the same. You can probably be found at the back of some obscure gig by polish death metal band "AC Slater" supping a red wine and smoking a rollie. That is if you're not at the scandenavian poetry reading somewhere in Hoxton. You're effortlessly cool and everyone you know is more relevent than everyone I know. On the downside, you'll never get a girlfriend.......and you cant dance without looking like a bender. WELCOME TO MY WORLD

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 97% on indie

Texas Chain Store Manicure

Hmm, work is making a very educated person given all the time I spend reading the Guardian website. Went to see a play about 60's record producer Joe Meek who killed himself and his landlady in a fit of drug-induced paranoia/madness. I have also been listenening the the amazing She Said demo (album due in sept), kind of swaying country + strident vocals like the woman out of Jefferson Airplane. That and the migraine I had today I feel like I'm in a dark place. The outcome of the country test (see fraancofinn's blog) I took was Colombia, surprised at the time but really couln't have been more accurate.
