On Thursday, 8 million people tuned in to watch Nick Griffin, leader of the British National Party (BNP), ramble on about some useless twaddle about how Britain needs to remain British. I watched the programme, and thought it was fantastic; the debate was very interesting, and I loved watching Griffin squirm as he couldn’t give an answer to anything respectable.
This post is not so much about irony, but more so about the ignorance of the postal service we have here in the UK.
Turns out they’re striking tomorrow. Great. I shall be crying with unbridled joy when I come back home tomorrow and find nothing at my doorstep. Or the day after. Not only are they doing this, but there has also been regional strikes for the past month or so (just so happens my area is full of these moaning postal workers…), which has done absolutely nothing, apart from causing mass choas.
I understand I’m rather late on posting the news, but this just had to go in my delicious irony series.
Turns out that about 3 weeks ago, the head of the UK’s legal system, Baroness Scotland, was under investigation that she had hired an illegal immigrant to be her housekeeper. Ok, that’s pretty ironic right… she’s the Attorney General for the UK, and she’s been fined £5,000 for breaking the law… not a very good role model, eh?
Well, this is where it gets interesting. Turns out she was fined for breaking the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006, which… wait for it… she helped impose herself into the House Of Lords when she was a Home Office Minister.
So you have a job, just so happens your job is to impose new laws, you help impose one particular new law, she suddenly becomes the head of the legal system, she then breaks that law, gets fined for it, and then denies any wrong doing, and then rejects calls to resign.
Hey folks. From here on, look out for a new series of posts called “Oh, the Delicious Irony…”, in which I will be covering news topics that are just so unbelievably ironic, you may as well think i’m making these stories up.

During the summer, we had a big swine flu outbreak, as we all know. Even I, suffered from the virus. During this period, the UK government and the NHS made a few broadcasting and print based adverts for swine flu. Here, take a look:
Well, at the beginning of August, the Daily Mail published an article that confirmed the actor in the blu jacket, David McCusker, had caught, and then suffered from swine flu, himself.
Now, I know you are all saying that he, like everyone, is just as susceptible to the virus as anyone else… but, come on… If he was IN THE ADVERT, as a PAID ACTOR, SURELY he would know how not to catch the virus…. SURELY!?
Stay tuned for more…
