Thanet Star - actively improving Thanet one idea at a time

Mike Harrison, arithmetic boy, is so gay his hair's made of cotton

Councillor Harrison's comments against fellow councillor Ian Driver make as much sense as this headline.

Gay pride 091 - Marche des fiertés Toulouse 2011.jpg
I admit that calling Harrison gay is about as mature as the other school yard insults that have been battered around of late but even so they are a lot less cruel than the words Councillor Mike Harrison and Councillor John "I hope you get aids" Worrow have been batting around.

These guys are clearly the arithmetic boys of our council - adding trouble, subtracting pleasure, dividing attention, and multiplying ignorance. They'll never be the men their mothers are. I'd ask them how old they think they are but I have my doubt that they could even count that high with their shoes on.

With just one more brain between them perhaps the arithmetic boys could form a passible halfwit because these particular throwbacks surely cannot be seriously ignorant of changing attitudes over the last thirty to forty years.

No one cares if you'd prefer to have a candle-lit dinner with the hoff or JLo. The arithmetic boys have nothing to fear because the simple fact is that that no matter how gay a man might be the simple truth is that he would be more likely to find a slap to the face more attractive than Councillor Mike Harrison or Councillor John Worrow even if they waxed their legs and put on a pretty dress.

The biting sarcasm continues - keep reading...

If arithmetic boys (Mike Harrison and John Worrow if you attention span is very short) are so stupid that brain surgeons have a hard time then it is time that they shut up and let that hole in their face heal up. Hey, with some help they could check up on eBay and see if they have a life for sale.

What were the arithmetic boys even thinking when they made these comments? They have failed to advance the cause of the own political camp and may have ended their local political carrier, such as they are. Some people are has-beens. These two are more like never-was.

Their birth certificates are apologies from the condom factory.

Being around their hate is like having a cancer of the soul. Are these really the best Thanet can do for herself? Really?

Thanet can well do without bigots, bullies and dumbarses pretending that they can lead the way.

Can we not find some councillors who are capable of doing their job without freaking out because their own repressed sexual orientation is in danger of being illuminated.

I really couldn't care less who Ian Driver finds attractive. If Ian were to start wearing pretty pink dresses and bunny ears that's fine. If Ian were to shave his head and tattoo a flower on his scalp, dress in 70's clothes and skip to work then so what? If Ian, tomorrow, decided that he should be addressed as "Grand Duchess Abigail Chester Wilson Snapdragon Lemmywinks Brian Brain McFisticuffs the Negative 10th" then good for him.

All we should care about is this - can he do his job?

If the answer is "yes" then everything else is beside the point.

Should the answer ever become "no" then everything else will still be beside the point.

What are the arithmetic boys' chances of re-election? Small or utterly non-existent?

There is some kind of orwellian psy-op going on here Matt, a psy-op so subtle and sophisticated that I'm buggered if I can figure it out, but it has summat to do with this new world order bollix, I'm sure.

There is a known bug with the Thanet Directory where the category links are not working. This is a fault with the URL parser / builder which doesn't cope well with custom language keys. I did not write it and I am working on a replacement. Everything else should be fully operational.
I've been adding new items to the Directory of Everything in Thanet. Keep the reviews and votes coming in and I'll keep adding items. Message me if you want something added that's not already there.
I've been working on this for a while and now here it is The Thanet Directory. It's a work in progress that you can add to.
