In this edition of Shire Network News, we hear about the scientific opposition to the current global warming fad, so popular among arm-flailing hysterics these days. Professor Ian Plimer, author of "Heaven and Earth" is our feature guest. Play this for your grennie friends and watch their head explode!

 

Meryl Yourish is along to comment on wha happens when "moderate" Palestinians do extreme things (nothing apparently), and Doug Paytom discussesreligious persecution of a kind you'll find is curiously missing from the pages of the Guardian.

 

In Blog Ners, the Scottish government frees the Lockerbie Bomber, and if that doesn't cause a zombie army of dead Scots soldiers to rise from their graves to feast on the flesh of the Scottish Nationalist Party then nothing will. It'd probably be shortlived, I understand zombies need brains, and there's little evidence of that among the SNP.

 

A Swedish mainstream newspaper discovers its inner Nazi and informs the public that the Jews are murdering people to steal their organs. Next week I'm sure they'll be onto well-poisoning and by the end of the year Jews will doubtless be held ccountable for spreading the Black Death as well. Welcome Europe in the 21st century.

The UK foriegn minister, David Milliband says terrorism can be justified in some circumstances, and wonders why everyone is getting upset about it, and a Palestinian man sells land to Jews and is sentenced to death. See above comment about which century we're living in.

 

And MSNBCiscovers it has an amazing ability to turn a black man white through the miracle of cropping video footage. It's all part of the whacky World Of Tomorrow that is the 21st centiry. This is NOT what my science fiction novels promised me as a teenager. It was all supposed to be engineers, rocketeers, steely-eyed scientists with slide rules and rationaility by now. Who knew the peasants with flaming torches and pitchforks would make such a comeback?
