Toronto floods.
Seriously I wish I could make these things up.
Yesterday the UK Queen sent a message of support to her subjects in Canada following the Lac-Magantic, Quebec oil train crash. Unusually quite a lot of effort was made to make sure people internationally were aware that this message was sent. This was intended to make it appear as though the Monarch supported the Canadian effort to encourage the US to support the Egyptian revolution. However if you actually read the message it talks of a "great sadness" and ends with rather ominous talk of the Queen's thoughts and prayers. Therefore it seemed to be an effort to remind the Canadians of whose side they're supposed to be on while the UK seeks permission from the Gulf Monarchies to support the Egyptian revolution. Perhaps the UK is unaware that Canada may have another extra large reason for encouraging the US to become less dependent of middle-eastern oil. Shortly after the Queen's message was sent a months worth of rain was dumped on the Canadian city of Toronto in a matter of hours leading to flash flooding, widespread property damage and people having to be rescued from their cars and public transport such as trains. That certainly gives the impression of God or the weather countermanding the Queen's wishes on at least the global warming part of the story.
Today in a further effort to give the impression of supporting the Egyptian revolution the UK grounded a large proportion of the air traffic across the south of the country citing a technical fault in an air traffic control. I of course yesterday said that I was trying to keep Internet traffic down in an effort calm the situation in Egypt. Although this looks suspiciously like an attempt to force itself into the San Francisco 777 Asiana plane crash the reason the UK sent the message is that in response to my scheduled telephone call with the police yesterday a few other UK police forces had a few planned.
Firstly a suspected Fathers 4 Justice campaigner barricaded himself in a house in a flat in Kidlington in Oxfordshire. Although his two twin two year old daughters were released after around 9 hours the siege continued until the time I started writing this post (approx 15:00) when the man gave himself up and was arrested. This was intended to promote discussion about why Croydon police hadn't sent a large number of officers to drag me out of my house at dawn. Although the Crown still insists on denying me the firepower I would need to stop them doing something like that the main reason is that after doing so the police would eventually have to account for their actions. As I'm not on bail, there's no evidence I've not committed any crime and I'm in contact with complying with all lawful requests from the police it would be quite difficult for them to justify something like that. Also the incident forced the chronically under worked Oxfordshire firearms team to get all their toys out leaving them looking like extras from the Canadian TV show "Flashpoint."
Secondly Greater Manchester police designated roads from where members of the public will be allowed to view the funeral of Lee Rigby - the soldier who was killed in the Woolwich murder. This raises the question over whether the occupants of 50 Beechwood have lawful authority to place me under covert surveillance. That is quite a short argument that has already been ruled on. They may not conduct medical experiments without the informed consent of the test subjects and they may not conduct medical experiments where the test subjects are at risk of death under any circumstances. Therefore presenting an authority for such an act merely incriminates the person who signed that authority up to and including the Queen or other head of state. Apparently the police in Greater Manchester are still looking for a way to Cope.
As for the San Francisco 777 Asiana plane crash it's so obvious even the French have worked it out. It was simply an attempt to give the US striking visual metaphor for the state of their Rihanna/Chris Brown operation ahead of Chris Brown's upcoming July 15th (15/7/13) Court appearance. The emotionally charged first responders press conference yesterday was a US attempt to apologise/explain for the killing of one of the two Chinese victims of the crash by a fire truck amid the initial chaos that always follows an incident of this type. The much more measured and professional press conference given by a member of the flight crew later was intended to be the Koreans confirming that they were either aiming for zero fatalities or American fatalities. After all the US has p*ssed off quite a lot of people over the last five or so months.
Rihanna's tour has sort of been trundling on without out much to mention save for a growing number of complaints from fans following late and poor performances. On Friday (5/7/13) Rihanna appeared at the Roskilde festival in Denmark. Being a festival performance the set-list was different, there was no real stage set and Rihanna was free to chose one outfit to wear throughout her performance. She 'chose' a oversize baseball jersey and headscarf combination that resembled the traditional dress worn by men in middle-eastern nation the name of which infuriatingly escapes me at this point. This was supposed to be a reference to entirely untrue rumour that Rihanna was ordered to dress demurely by organisers of Mawazine festival in Morocco in order to avoiding Islamic modesty standards. As you may have picked up on during the Allah cartoon scandal Denmark is not exactly a pro-Islam nation. Rihanna's choice of outfit was designed to promote discussion in order to discover how widely that attitude is shared throughout the nation's youth.
On Sunday (7/7/13) Rihanna decided to go to a crowded public beach in Poland and then complained when she was mobbed by fans. The idea here was to promote discussion about attitudes within former Soviet bloc nations such as Poland and the European Union (EU) which Poland is desperately trying to join. Having been grown up in a country that never saw Soviet rule I get to talk with celebrities like Rihanna on an almost daily basis and frankly have started to find them a bit annoying. However in newly freed nations such as Poland people get much more excited about western celebrities like Rihanna. Therefore her little beach stunt was intended to promote discussion about how excited people in eastern European nations get about other western icons such as EU membership. Basically it was the US trying to force its way into the EU versus Russia debate that was so central to the Eurovision Song Contest.
16:05 on 9/7/13.
And promptly edited at 16:10 on 9/7/13 as I remembered what I was trying to say;
Anyway how is Ramadan watch going? The UK say it was yesterday, France and the US say it's today. Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf Nations say it's tomorrow. I think Egypt starts tomorrow and I'm a bit worried that it might drive the protests nocturnal when people seem more likely to be violent.
