Not too long ago in a parallel galaxy not too far away we saw the following ad. It is almost ludicrous to think that Theresa May has succeeded where Tony Blair failed - in his wish to destroy the Conservative Party; you may disagree but what nobody can deny is that she is an evil, lying, treasonous witch.

I posted this a while ago and repeat this amazing quote: "Sanitation is more important than independence." Mahatma Ghandi

Details HERE You will find more statistics at Statista
Figures and source for the above info from World Bank HERE. All world regions are thankfully reducing the numbers but incredibly some individual countries are worse than in 2000 (the above and linked info is from 2015). At the risk of appearing flippant, you'll note where most of the 'shit-hole countries' are...even a darker dot on the western end of one of the Caribbean islands...[thinks]

It's a while until World Toilet Day (Nov 19th) but the World Toilet Organisation (oh yes) have their work cut out and need support.

Certainly Shit Creek but with a paddle at least, and most certainly (to quote Boris, always one for a good phrase) "the quintessence of turd polishing pointlessness" [edit] i.e. opposing Jean-Claude Juncker as the next president of the European commission was a complete waste of time; Boris also said it is like "trying to swat a fly on the leg of the rhino that is standing on your chest" LOL.

The Prime Ministers of The UK, Sweden and the Netherlands (David Cameron, Fredrik Reinfelt and Mark Rutte respectively) with German Chancellor Angela Merkel: interestingly these countries have nearly always been the highest per capita net contributors (no disrespect to Austria previously and to Denmark and Finland now and other net contributors as things are more 'balanced' these days.

My failure to know what's good for me had me watching the news again yesterday, only to start - within 30 seconds - shouting at the TV. As Cranmer so aptly puts it of Obama's Berlin speech: "Ich bin eine Katastrophe". Obama has form though (Jan, Feb); the more people say what a good speaker he is the more I cannot stand what he says or how he says it. Previously I've called it cringe-worthy pap and banal piffle, convinced his speech-writers are taking the piss; Nile Gardiner calls it "pure mush, another clichéd “citizens of the world” polemic with little substance." Most of the German press weren't much more impressed (scroll down to "German commentators on Thursday, however, seemed largely immune to the charm offensive".

Obama's oratory...

Or not as the case may be. I mentioned last month in Obamaworship about the "load of banal piffle" that Obama was reading out; and "the winning entry from a primary school competition about who can write the most cringe-worthy pap about pink fluffy clouds and jam for everybody" however he hasn't improved much and it appears that in yesterday's State of the Union address

"President Obama's chief speechwriter has been replaced by a cliché-generator circa 1960. His erstwhile oratory was a melee of cringe-inducing lines ripped straight from a sit-in."

So says Kirsten Powers in 'Same old, same old from Obama':USA TODAY.
