The Muhammad baby name story gets passed around every year. It's a little depressing how the same lie can be so persistent.

That and the "nativity play cancelled because it offends Muslims" stories that have been passed around since I was a kid and are always just accepted as true. Eventually you just give up on trying to tell people that those stories are deliberately misleading and just join in the absurdity. Did you know that 95% of all foreigners live in the UK? Its true. And you can't even say that you're English now without being arrested and thrown in jail.

The Telegraph actually ran a piece a couple of weeks ago with the headline 'Apparently, being 'too English' is now a crime'... because a school was mildly criticised by Ofsted for failing to provide enough opportunities to learn about other cultures.

Its also basically what the local Solihull papers print though they do it inba fashion that's much more tolerable for the bourgeoisie.

The TV was on at the gym the other day and I saw an ad for Benefits Britain: Life on the Dole in the middle of Can't Pay? We'll Take it Away, a documentary-style program following debt collectors around while they repossess people's cars and homes.

The book (which is the film delivered with total sincerity) allows other ways for people to earn their place in society, like volunteering themselves as subjects for extreme scientific testing! A world of opportunity for strivers
