Strange one for ISAC. Detraction being the meat and tatties of this site. Our raison d’etre in fact. Our reason for being.

(Definition of “Detraction”: Day Admin – Wiki Link )

ISAA maybe Is An Angel. But its boring praising good people. Mmm…

I dislike Meghan Markle intensely. There was a Nom about her laying flowers at the Elementary school shooting. I was about to lay into her then I suddenly thought no. Maybe just maybe it was sincere. So I didn’t.

Maybe I was a bit sick of it. Kids being killed an’ all.

Or just that. Laying into someone laying flowers.

Anyway, has got me thinking more widely about this. (this is the meat and tattie of the Nom) I bet if you could get a percentage of the posts on the Internet of any particular day a good 50% would be of people slagging other people off, people laying into other people, piling in with criticism, giving out stick.

I was sickened to be honest by Donald Trump reading the names of the kids that had been killed at that NRA convention.

But also sickened by Bet O’Rourke accusing some Mayor of having ‘blood on your hands’. O’Rourke is for Gun Control.

I mean people have lost the basic decency to hold off politics for at least a while after an atrocity. But no the very next day.

I am not thinking just about Celebrities or politicians here.

If I think of my little life (as Alfie would say), the berating against others has been incredibly destructive. The constant criticism of one sister against another has had a really detrimental effect.

It’s all blame blame blame. It seems. Everyone I know is at it. I am in the right you are in the wrong. It’s all your fault. You’re not a nice person.

Personal denunciation has an effect. Someone always pointing the finger.

Always like that song by Alexander O’Neil–?Don’t criticise my ideals, don’t criticise my lifestyle ?

A bit confusing this. Maybe I should retitle the Nom ‘Pointing the Finger’. Or maybe ‘The Blame Game’.

Just like the word detraction.

Woof, woof for yet another weirdo, sorry I meant person who identifies as other, from the Land of the Rising Sun.

I debated doing a nom about this, especially after doing that one about the visually challenging bloke who married a cartoon, but this is just brilliant.

The costume is so realistic, if you can bear it watch the YouTube clip of him, you’d swear it was a real dog.

One that had suffered some kind of traumatic brain injury, but still.

This lot have just come out with another searing indictment of racist Britain.

But that’s not the subject here. The Runnymede Trust describe themselves thus:

”Led by a diverse team, we draw from our lived experience and that of our wide and inclusive community and partnership networks.

We are governed by our Board of Trustees whose expertise and guidance is integral to the production of our work.”

A. Diverse. Team.

Have a look at the attached (Tea and Trustees) and see how diverse and representative of the British demographic they are. Pronouns and all.

The man should feel proud about the fact that he, more than any other politician, manages to get so many excited and involved in politics.

In 2003 a million people marched against his invasion of Iraq. This time it’s over his knighthood…..

A change.org petition which was originally set up to have Blair’s Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter rescinded has been renamed as a “Rally against Tony Blair’s Knighthood ‘Honour'”. As of this writing 1,159,551 people have signed it.

“His policies have touched most of our lives in some way and it is almost always negative. And now, on 13th June, he will be awarded one of this nation’s highest Honours by Her Majesty the Queen.”

“On Monday, 13th June, a gathering of like-minded people is to be held in Windsor, where Tony Blair and the world’s press can witness precisely what the people of this country think about this award. Where people can stand up and be seen by the world’s press voicing their feelings and sending our message that we do not consent to this ill-deserved award.”

The protest by Windsor Castle is officially organised by Stop the War, who are yet to march on the Russian Embassy. What are the chances this protest also has a significant republican element?…..

For the record, I certainly don’t support Blair getting a Knighthood, but sadly, as we all know, he was the turd blocking the pipe, and had to be flushed before Brown, Cameron and May could get their gongs as well…….

A very very  late entry, this time from Cunty McCunt, focusing on Euan Blair and his recently awarded MBE

A cunting for the Blairs and the UK Honours System.

Only six short months after his father was rewarded with a knighthood (fuck knows what for: crimes against humanity?), the multi-millionaire-son-of-a-cunt, Euan Blair, has been awarded an MBE (Motherfucking Blair Excrement?) for services to education. I’m 100% certain that no cash was exchanged in brown envelopes. No, siree.

I’m equally convinced that Euan’s big break in business had nothing to do with Daddy Blair’s connections. The lad’s a grafter and deserves every single penny of his £600m fortune and establishment recognition…

The MBE is the first rung of the ladder up the UK Honours System for young Euan. All he now needs to do is: shove his hooter up the ring piece of a US president; begin a war based on fallacious and fabricated evidence; allow hundreds of British servicemen to sacrifice their lives in the name of liberating a dusty and corrupt shithole, which nearly 20-years on remains, erm, a dusty and corrupt shithole; use dark Machiavellian artistry to try and reverse the will of the people; allow unwanted, uncontrolled, low-skilled, high-stabby mass immigration into Britain, all in the name of creating a multicultural utopia; change the country’s demographics for the worse…and he could be rewarded with a KBE.

After knighting the likes of Savile and Blair, along with countless other bottom feeders, the bar is now set so very low for UK Honours that it wouldn’t surprise me if Paul Gadd was awarded an OBE for his youth work, and Peter Sutcliffe a posthumous CBE for his sleight of hand with screwdrivers and ballpeen hammers.

Whatever happened to the Heroes….

Do you have Heroes?
No not the chocolates,
Or the album by David Bowie,
Heroes as in people you look up to, want to emulate,
Role models of how to conduct yourself.

My hero as a nipper was Muhammad Ali,
A black Muslim.

Then I added Evel Knievel .
The Montana stunt rider who broke his bones for our entertainment.

Then came John Noakes,
Northern, game little fucker, funny, outdoors with Shep,
He had it sussed.

Then as a teenager Johnny Rotten, sarcastic, determined, sneering, original.

Then…….nowt.

No more heroes anymore,
Indeed!
No one inspired me
No one impressed me
No one shook the world
All useless!

A man should have Heroes.
A target to strive for,

I’m gonna be heavyweight champion of the world

I’m gonna jump 10 double decker buses
