The good the bad and the… 4


Guess what I got with all that coin...
The Good – It's got to be the Murdochalypse, hasn't it? Who would have thunk but two weeks ago that one of the world's most powerful men would be lost for words and crumbling on our television screens before being slapped on the head with a foam pie?
What's most interesting about the whole affair is what happens next. There are a lot of powerful powerful people involved - up to their necks - so there is no guarantee anything will happen. A concerted campaigning of obfuscation is already underway by Brooks and the Murdochs, so some diligence will be needed on our part to ensure those involved in the web of misdeed and corruption are dealt with.
At present there are a lot of necks on the line. Not even Max Clifford can get Max Clifford out of this one. Hacking, lying, denial, corrupt payments, drama, intrigue, sudden deaths, it's all happening.
But despite the unpredicted confidence of Murdoch Empire shareholders, Rupert's removal from the heart of British politics will have immense consequences. For example, if this scandal proves a contagion to the rest of his operation, such as Fox News, then world politics could see a very real shift as America realigns itself away from the fundamentalist right wing, neo con blight.
I've got a bad feeling about this. 'This' being your ability
to cobble together a photoshop image.
There's a lot hanging by a thread at present. 
The Bad – Jedi Jim isn't Alan Sugar's business partner. Give him an "aw". Despite possessing powers of blarney that would befit a long running comic book series, big Jim Eastwood (what a class name) just ran out of pertinent proverbs, salubrious sayings and cloying clichés at the last. If only he'd remembered a phrase of wisdom by dear old Groucho Marx, he could have won the £250,000 investment.
"The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made."

Finally, mathematicians around the world were able
to jot down the true value of pie.
 The Marleys – After Jonnie Marbles attempted to make himself a star by wrapping a cream pie around the head of Rupert Murdoch, it has left the nation wondering, hero or zero?
In my grumble opinion, it's zero. Just as those representing the people (I'm talking about our politicians in case you hadn't guessed) began tearing apart his dark actions with admirable decorum, up rocks Jonnie Marbles to shame the process and steal this morning's headlines. What a bloody idiot.
