Hypocrisy abound this Christmas. A woman powerslams The Pope this year and is described as mentally unstable by The Vatican. I'm fairly certain that adults with imaginary friends are just as unstable, but when you're vomiting tired rhetoric such as this, what can you do? "Conflict and lack of reconciliation in the world stem from the fact that we are locked into our own interests and opinions, into our own little private world," so sayeth The Pope. Noble words there Benedict, but what else are you saying? That homosexual acts are evil? That a woman doesn't have the right to choose what happens to her own body? Benny, boy! No! It sounds as though perhaps you're locked into your own little world. After all, I haven't seen much reconciliation between The Vatican and the homosexual community, or even between El Poperino and people who recognise that sex is perfectly natural and that contraception stops STIs. I suggest you follow your own advice before you try to instruct the world how to behave because God told you so. What were we saying about imaginary friends earlier? Even The Queen doesn't escape this year. She quite happily tells the world that this year sucked ass financially (from a palace that I'm helping to pay for, no less) and that The Commonwealth is a marvellous force for good both in the international community and in Afghanistan. Well, that's just great, Lizzy, but have you bothered to focus on the country you live in? You know, us sixty million neighbours of yours who you don't give a shit about? Those of us who were fucked over by the economic crisis that you only read about in newspapers? The folks who bust their 'nads 9-5 to keep you in a shiny palace surrounded by guards, only to be too scared to leave their own homes because you can't be bothered to tell Gordon Brown that we have a serious fucking problem with crime and that if he doesn't do something about it, she could really make his life a grotty, shit-filled mess? I try not to be a hypocrite, but when I am, at least I can admit it.
