OK I admit it I like Putin

He is not a puppet like Obama

He is bright and intelligent

And incredibly CUTE

GREED is the only real sin

Most people do not think how lucky they are to have a roof over their head and freedom to do anything they want - people in the so-called civilised parts of the world have become selfish and insular

People with very little to share - SHARE - those who live in countries we in the west consider to be uncivilised are the most civilised of all - the people help each other and share with each other - in the west we just sit and watch TV and believe all the rubbish and propaganda we are being fed

I have lost somebody

Several of my friends have told me that the Islamic State are in most - if not all - of the mosques in England

One particular friend told me they were going to do something about it - possibly confront the Imams

My friend has vanished

His phone has been off for several weeks

He has not picked up his text messages

I am going to have to try and find him

That means my going into the M25

If the mock-up of a man floating dead in a swimming-pool is now classed as art - the is little hope left for culture

Hallucinatory spectacle in watery city

Australia has brought hope and humour to a Biennale overdosing on decadence, writes Gabriella Coslovich in Venice.

So much art, so much free prosecco, so much ostentation. At the 53rd Venice Biennale, underfed women traipse the gravel paths of the Giardini in dizzying designer heels, flanked by shiny-faced men in immaculate suits of rainbow-coloured wonder — striped seersucker and head-to-toe plaid seems in vogue, as do eye-popping trousers of vermillion, yellow or green. What global financial crisis?

After a three-day preview restricted to the media and very important persons (wealthy collectors and gallery directors and not-so-wealthy curators and artists), the showcase has opened to the public to start a five-month international smorgasbord of art. The most prestigious terrain of the Biennale is the Giardini, or gardens, a tiny triangle of green on the tip of the Castello district with 30 national pavilions.

The evocative Arsenale, former military warehouses a little further north, is the next most important pitch but the Biennale takes over the entire city, with shows scattered throughout Venice in churches, universities, palaces, institutes - sending foreigners mad as they try to locate events in the city's labyrinthine streets...

So-called art collectors paid fortunes for "art" such as this

More so-called "art"



The "artwork" below is particularly disgusting

It was only a few short weeks ago when Kurds and their suppoters were streaming out into the streets protesting about Kobani

Much of the world's media were on the Turkish border watching Kobani being torn apart by warring forces and blown to smithereens by the Americans

Nobody really cared - Kobani has been forgotten - Aleppo almost unheard of - and Yazidis assigned to oblivion

All sides talk of martyrs - there are no martyrs only the dead - the innocent dead - the dead fathers and mothers - dead sisters and brothers - dead sons and daughters - and when the glory marches for the martyrs are through the dead are forgotten with only their friends and families left to mourn them

Let something good come from this - let the Kurdish people unite for independence and Freedom

Turn off the TVs - close the coffee shops - go into the streets once more and save Kurdish heritage

SAVE THE YAZIDIS

MY SEX GOD

The only reason men wear beards and moustaches is to hide their ugly faces

And I am certain the Jihadists faces are as evil and ugly as their hearts
