All Points North

Sometimes, when you’re working on something new you have to, um, not tell people the whole truth about what you’re up to. My one hope is that if you fall into that category you know that I’ve tried to, at the very least, be professional about it.

You look at me that way
I know what your eyes say
Your eyes reflect love and desire
I see that you need me
I need you to please me
You touch me and set me on fire
It’s the way that you love me
The way that you touch me
The way that you whisper my name
I cannot resist you
Each time I kiss you
Then everything goes up in flames

Baby I’m burning out of control
Baby I’m burning body and soul
Hot as a pistol of flaming desire
Baby I’m burning
You got me on fire

I’m on fire

This red hot emotion
Puts fireworks in motion
It looks like the fourth of July
There’s no use in fighting
The fire you’ve ignited
Just stand back and watch the sparks fly

Baby I’m burning out of control
(Dolly Parton)

2125: We have provisional figures for the final turnout in the AV referendum. According to the Electoral Commission, 42% of registered voters took part – which would be the second lowest figure for a referendum in British history. Participation was highest in Northern Ireland, where 55.8% of people cast ballots. Turnout was lowest in London – at 35%.

Considering we’ve only had two that’s not such a terrible record now is it?

I’m clinging to this:

The referendum delivered a clear result and let’s not kid ourselves, 40% turnout isn’t bad. Perhaps we’ll get to vote on more of the really important stuff from now on. Two referenda in 40 odd years isn’t nearly enough.

If I have one regret about the way it went down, it’s that he didn’t choke to death on a gorilla cock. He was a monster who made the world worse. His actions not only permanently altered our way of life, but helped polarize America in a way it never previously before had been during my lifetime. Fuck him.

If in five years time al-Qaeda is no longer a threat to international security and has fallen apart as an ideology or organisation (whichever you prefer) will that make everything that’s happened in the past 10 years to this point acceptable?
