Spot the Fascists

A pro-Russia fighter holds up a toy found among the debris at the crash site of MH17

I wrote the following 'Dumbass Comment' post yesterday (Friday) before the evidence started piling up about Russia's complicity in the shooting down of the Malaysian Airliner MH17.   

The sight of these pro-Russian separatists in charge of a crash scene is depressing, not least because they are the likely perpetrators of this terrible crime - and as you can see from this photo these 'gangsters' have little thought for the victims, as they hold up for public display the personal possessions of some of the dead passengers.  

Compare this appalling behaviour with the professionalism that followed the in the wake of the Lockerbie bombing in Scotland where Pan Am flight 103 was blown out of the sky in November 1999 - on that occasion everyone rushed to help in any way they could whereas in Donetsk armed thugs are in control on the ground. 

Dumbass Comment



 Like any sensible person, I have an open mind about who is responsible for shooting down the Malaysian airliner and the terrible murder of so many innocent lives.

 The finger of suspicion may point to pro-Russian separatists, but who knows for sure at this stage?

 Yet Vladimir Putin seems to have made up his mind already, if this dumb-ass comment from the Russian President is anything to go by: 

"This tragedy would not have happened, if there had been peace on that land, or in any case if military operations in southeastern Ukraine had not been renewed."
"And without doubt the government of the territory on which it happened bears responsibility for this frightening tragedy."  
Now this is like saying that Russia was responsible for the terrible acts of terrorism committed by Chechen separatists - or that America was responsible for the killers who flew two passenger planes into the Twin Towers on 9/11.

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
