The Atherton Dangerous Dogs Case.

In the last few hours police in Greater Manchester UK have announced that they have found a teenage (some reports say 15 other reports say 14) girl dead in a house where a number of dogs were running dangerously out of control. Police say that four of the dogs were "humanely destroyed by armed officers" which is a polite way of saying they shot them.

As the term 'dangerous dog' is long established British code for black gang member this is the UK trying to force it's way into the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) Summit which is currently getting under way in South Africa. The first meaning is the UK trying to reassure the world - and in doing so creating speculation - that there won't be any repeat of last week's nonsense as I make my traditional Tuesday trip to the pub. However I think you'll find I took care of that myself last week. The second meaning is the UK trying to promote discussion about the 'dangerous dogs' it controls in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the Central African Republic (CAR).

If you're still trying to work out what the US' effort to force itself into the BRICS Summit is well on the day that the Supreme Court Of The United (SCOTUS) is sitting on gay marriage (California's Proposition 8 and the Defence of Marriage Act) someone does appear to have given Chris Brown this mistaken impression that he's allowed to talk.

As for my trip to the pub there's an important England match that kicks off at eight that I want to be home in time for. Therefore due to car-parking issues I'll actually be going to Norbury. So the local network should consider this their advance warning if they want to spread the hate around. They won't though because Croydon Council don't have any re-development goals in Norbury.

18:00 on 26/3/13.
