"Goode's Daze out"

 

Spoiling The Archers .

 

Spoiling The Archers

 

WHOA! Hang on. Before you fall over clutching your sides in helpless mirth, some people really do listen to the daily tale of country folk on Radio 4. We’re the ‘silent majority’, the people that prop up the welfare state and pay for all the leeches on the system, so watchit!

 

Every night at 7pm some announcer bloke on the radio says, “In a moment The News, and then in The Archers Debbie finds out who the masked intruder was and Joe ferret runs amok in Linda’s cucumber patch”. Well don’t tell us the flamin’ plot you twerp, we were going to listen anyway so there’s no point trying to tempt us with juicy storylines.

 

Then, after The News, the announcer bloke comes on again and says, “And now The Archers, and Eddie’s desperate to find a new paving job so he can hide the mutilated corpse of the Polish strawberry picker”. Dammit! That’s another storyline exposed. It’s only a thirteen minute programme, WE WERE GOING TO LISTEN ANYWAY! We don’t need to know what’s going to happen. So knock it off BBC.

 

Suicide Drivers

 

Basically I don’t have a problem with lunatics hell bent on self destruction at the hands of a Peugeot 105 with a large exhaust and wide wheel arches. Not if they do it alone. The problem is they tear through country lanes with blind corners like The Stig on acid, assuming there’ll be nothing coming the other way. I know it takes an awful long time to get a poxy little car up to escape velocity but don’t do it when I might be coming the other way. Your bid for auto inspired destruction is all fine and dandy, I just hope there’s a nice shiny snowplough coming round that next blind corner or a tractor with one of those big spikes. Better still, drive into a bridge support on a motorway.

 

Media Driven Recession

 

We all know the economy has slowed down a bit; some people have lost jobs and income as a result. But it doesn’t help at all when the media jump on the story like starving hyenas then ram it down our throats with front-page headlines and leading ‘stories’ on the TV and radio. All that happens is people get bombarded with bad news, stop spending and then things just get worse. It’s irresponsible and lazy journalism but they’ve got to fill the news with something, at least it justifies sending a reporter to stand outside a posh building in London then creating fancy graphics to indicate the demise of the global economy. Snap out of it. Find something more newsworthy.

 

Police Violence

 

Bring it on. It’s about time the Boys in Blue clawed back a bit of respect. What’s wrong with a Police Force with the power to instil fear amongst the population? Well, quite a lot really. We can’t have thugs dressed in Police uniforms beating the living daylights out of innocent passers by, isn’t that how Germany got stuck with the nasty Nazi’s? On the other hand the Police need to be more respected than they are; unfortunately the recent incidents in London will probably result in the opposite. Discuss.
