Our Guardian Angel

 

The heart-warming article by young Ben Murray, our angel at The Guardian, certainly gets him a free ticket for the Icelandic Airwaves Festival. Murray strongly advises Gordon Brown not to go to the festival in Iceland.  Is that necessary?  I would have imagined that Brown and Darling fancied more the Wet Kilt Contest at the Crannóg Inn in Lochlabour near Glen Crushmore Bollocks, which is to be held at the same time as Icelandic Airwaves.

Icelandic Prime, Geir H. Haarde, is a wimp. The Haarders actually don't come any softer. Haarde should have been as vicious towards the Icelandic finance wunderboys, as Brown is towards the Icelanders.

Iceland has laws and legislations which are far superior to the medieval British law codex. Why not use it to ground, investigate, prosecute, sentence and hang (sorry, that is a British custom) the main cause of the crisis in Iceland: the swindlers and conmen presently at large?

Why isn't Prime Minister Haarde hacking up the roots of the weeds, like any sensible leader would do, although not with the primitive Stone Age tools of Gordon Brown and his cronies?

Well, Haarde has always been soft on the Icelandic finance wunderkinds. He believed in their powerful propaganda, and probably they have been filling lot of people's pillows with firm and steady currency for the past years, which prevents any action in the present situation except for pointless sleep walking.

Sem kvenréttindakona finnst mér þessi mynd afar lýsandi fyrir hvernig hálfgamlir karlar hafa bæði á þjóðlegum og alþjóðlegum vettvangi hafa keyrt efnahagskerfum í strand, og þá finnst mér fjármála-fermingardrengir bankanna ekki skárri. Er ekki kominn tími til að taka til í röðum þeirra og senda konur upp í brúnna. Þær myndu aldrei vera í svona tippalengdar leik.

Eitt sinn sat ég við hliðina á manni í flugvél frá Íslandi. Hann sagði öll vandamál konum að kenna. Kallaði ykkur kerlingar. Í ljós kom, að hann var nýskilinn.

Ekki ætla ég að segja neitt eða röfla, konan leyfir mér að vera. Hún er fuldmægtig en ég er bara "afmægtig". Konur geta nú oft verið eins og karlar, enda öll menn.

Sé að fyrsta indverska konan hefur verið tekin í dýrlinga tölu. Eru konur ekki allar dýrlingar á Íslandi?
