I tell you what being undercover isn't all it's cracked up to be. Sometimes I think old hairy nostrils thinks he's the boss of me, sending me off on missions like I've got nothing else to do but spy on hate-sites even on Sundays.
Hate-sites aren't what they made out to be either. They're boring, just thinking about them is good for insomnia. All these nutters playing secret agents, multi voting on Bain polls, rewriting evidence on a murder-suicide case that's 16 years old, playing amatuer cops, knitting and dribbling and the hair brushes full of blue hair - I'll never think of grandma in the same way again.
Then there's camp mother letting the cat of the bag, wailing and begging for money to save his sorry butt. Nothing changes except they get deeper in the mire, and what a mire it is - it's very smelly and none of them use toilet paper prefering instead their hands. You couldn't find a slice of bread on Counterspin that isn't brown and chewed round the edges. I can understand now why they observe smelly and dirty as being something akin to sainthood.
Mike and Vic are going to write the Minister on official hate-site letterhead, explaining that they can be trusted to confirm that the petition is all above board and they've located and checked out the addresses of all 17 people who have signed a hundred times each under different names. That ought to put the Minister's mind at rest that's everythings all kosher and not to worry that the hate-sites are full of stalkers like laddiefatcat and lindz4me. Mike's even going to tell the Minister that it will be 'no joke' if David gets compensation for being persecuted and falsely imprisoned. He's going to 'tell' the Minister that the Government don't have to pander to Mr 'Reed and co' they won't lose any votes if they turn the claim down and listen to a bunch of people that are getting sued in the High Court for being partly upstanding, with long arms, somewhat dirty, folks with blue hair.
As me 'ol Dad used to say 'never let the truth get in the way of a good story'. The problem with Camp Mother's stories, is they are not even 'good'.
ReplyDeleteI have to disagree with you that the Counterspin site is full of the 'blue haired' set. This would imply that they have life experience. Something which their very narrow and one-eyed view, does not demonstrate.
They are more likely a group of incompetent nobody's, who have been nowhere, and done nothing significant, except being ignored by society.
They seem to feel the need to exert themselves on others, by adopting an 'air' of superiority. Their limited life experience prevents them from understanding the human condition and behaviours, behind this tragic crime.
But that doesn't stop them.
The internet provides them with the platform to advance their sad status. The Bain case, with it's bungled police investigation, and hidden agendas, provides them with a reason to act out their desired notariety. It's all just too tragic.
