Britain's Got No Morals

I can’t believe how deep Britain has got entangled with the death of pop singer, Michael Jackson.

OK, we all knew that this would affect his British fans but why has the British media seen fit to give it wall to wall coverage?

Now comes the final straw. We are sending a twelve year old boy from Swansea, Shaheen Jafargholi, a performer on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, to sing at the Michael Jackson memorial service, to be held today in Los Angeles.

How short is the human memory, sending a twelve year old boy to glorify the life of an alleged paedophile.

For the sake of those of you with amnesia, back in 1993, Michael Jackson paid the Chandler family an out of court settlement of $22 million after allegedly sexually abusing their 11 year old son, Jordan.

I don’t know about you, but to me, if someone coughs up that amount of money, the word ‘allege’ suddenly morphs into ‘acknowledge’.

My thinking is, err on the side of caution and let the tribute go on Shaheen-less, or is Britain too morally bankrupt to care!

The News Is That There Is No News

With the death of Michael Jackson yesterday, all news appears to have stopped.

Judging by the coverage on this morning’s TV, he must have been as famous as Jade Goody!

In an interview, someone, presumably famous, described Jackson as “A great singer.”
Says who? If he was that great, how comes I can’t buy a recording of him singing ‘Nessun Dorma’!

Nuff said.

RIP Mikey.

Good God! How short is the human memory? Around 750,000 ‘fans’ have bought tickets for a fifty date Wacko Jacko gig at the O2 Arena.

Tickets sold at the rate of eleven per second to see a middle aged man that you wouldn’t feel comfortable letting your cat near.

What’s next on the promoters agenda? Could it be a revival of Gary Glitter’s Christmas show? How about a duet between Jacko and Gaz, written and produced by Jonathan King?
