Justin Bieber Says Rape Happens For A Reason, A Bit Like The Handicapped
JUSTIN Bieber is talking about sex in Rolling Stone. Vanessa Grigoriadis asks the questions as they drive in a car. You might think that talking about sex with Bieber would get you seven years to life and cause birds and bees to fly backwards.
So. About the sex?
“I don’t think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them. I think you should just wait for the person you’re…in love with.”
Grigoriadis sees an image on Bieber’s laptop. It’s his avatars- the small black girl in the plaid skirt? No. It’s Selena Gomez.
The talk turns to nationalism. Does Bieber want to be an American?
“You guys are evil. Canada’s the best country in the world. We go to the doctor and we don’t need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you’re broke because of medical bills. My bodyguard’s baby was premature, and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby’s premature, he stays in the hospital as long as he needs to, and then you go home.”
Politics:
“I’m not sure about the parties. But whatever they have in Korea, that’s bad.”
Abortion:
“I really don’t believe in abortion It’s like killing a baby?” How about in cases of rape? “Um. Well, I think that’s really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I guess I haven’t been in that position, so I wouldn’t be able to judge that.”
He hasn’t been raped. Hey, but like all people who are successful, they know that everything happens for a reason. Grigoriadis fails to ask him what he thinks of the handicapped…

White Teacher Sprayed Air Freshener Over Asian Pupils In Swansea School: Not A Madrassa
IS the child abuse and racism witnessed in the madrasses so different from the behaviour of Elizabeth Davies, a teacher who sprayed primary school children of Asian origin with air freshener to stop them smelling of curry?
A tribunal heard that Davies was wont to say before using the air freshener:
“There is a waft coming from paradise.”

Crime Pays: Thief Wins £13000 Because Victim Lost Faith In Justice System
MARK Gilbert has won £13,000 damages from his former boss Simon Cremer. He sued for “humiliation” for being made to wear a sign saying “THIEF – I stole £845 am on my way to the police station” about his neck and forcibly walked to a police station.
Would you have agreed to wear such a sign? Gilbert’s hands were bound. He says he was beaten. Mr Cremer denies using violence.
Gilbert’s crime was to have written out a company cheque to himself and taken it to a Cash Converters in Essex. Gilbert got a caution. Cremer was charged with false imprisonment, but the case collapsed in December 2008.

Marcus Brigstocke Cycles To The Maldives: Eco-Comic Is Beyond Parody
MARCUS Brigstocke is the comedian who is beyond parody. Brigstocke is the greenie dressed as a frozen turkey for Gaia, who travels by “eco-friendly” motorhome (it’s parked outside his house) and has Chinese solar panels.
Brigstocke is talking about his jolly holidays in the Independent: “My Life in Travel: Marcus Brigstocke, comedian.”
Best holiday?
I went to the Maldives the year before last… I’ve also had some of my happiest holidays in Mallorca with family and friends. It’s a very beautiful island. We stay in great place called Camp de Mar near Andratx. So it’s a toss-up between the opulent, unforgettable paradise of the Maldives and calamari by the beach, waterskiing and nightclubbing in Mallorca

Decimalisation: 40 Years Ago Britain Did Away With Pounds, Shillings And Pence
FORTY years ago 87-year-old Alice Robinson closed the doors of her general store for the last time after half a century ‘open for business’. The reason? Decimalisation. Or, as the rather awkward song of the day preferred to call it, ‘D-E-C-I-M-A-L-I-S-ayshun!’
‘I can’t be bothered with this new money,’ said Alice. ‘Six robberies in five years couldn’t close me, but this new money has. I know the old system and I’m not going to fiddle about with any new one.’

Indoctrinating Muslim Children With Hate And Violence In A British Madrassa
CHANNEL 4′s undercover investigation into life at the UK’s madrassas made for grim viewing. In Lessons in Hate and Violence, we saw children engaging in and being the victims of casual violence; institutionalised racism; and adults seeking to ingrain in their charges a sense of cultural and moral superiority.
Richard Bartholomew reviews:
MUCH of the programme focused on Darul Uloon al-Islam, a full-time secondary school in Birmingham which has in the past been visited by MPs and various officials. Footage shows an older student leading an assembly as preaching practice, in which he explains that Hindus have no intellect because they “worship cows”, and that they “drink the piss of a cow”.

Eurovision 2011: Jedward Reject Revolution In Qatar To Sing For Ireland
EUROVISION: Jedward are the offcial entry of Ireland in the Eurovision song contest. By now many of you might have thought Jedward would have developed their talents aways from the performing arts, perhaps as a new food addictive that triggers hyperactivity in toddlers, a twin trophy at an ATP tour event or lent their name to a Revolution in Qatar. But processed food’s lost is music’s gain as the brother Grimes sing “Lipstick” at the Eurovision semi-finals of the contest in Dusseldorf.

What John Hirst Taught Us About Our Pathetic Leaders
THAT John Hirst is a murdering racist is matter of public record. But can we at least admire his achievement in getting out MPs to face the problem with European laws? The European Court of Human Rights agreed with Hirst that banning prisoners from voting was wrong. The big debate ensues: should all prisoners, whatever their crime, be banned from voting?

LINDSAY Lohan, on trial for felony grand theft, takes to Twitter to tells us that you can blame God but do not blame her mum and dad:

The elder Lohan said she sometimes introduces herself as her daughter’s personal assistant. She even once lied about her identity to George Clooney.
“I don’t want them to know I’m her mom,” she said. “It’s a whole ‘nother demographic. People just go dark.”

Lindsay Lohan’s Dress Is A Courtroom Expose: Photos
LINDSAY Lohan is back in court. Already this month Peter Doherty and Jack Tweed have been back in court. Doing court is what the celebrities do.
Lohan is in court accused of stealing a sad looking $2,500 gold chain. In court, she needs to balance the entertainer with the gravitas of the scene. She dresses clingy and pouts. If TV cameras were allowed in jail cells, Lohan would take prison in her stride, passing her days flirting and dabbling. Stick in a dimmer switch and you’ve got yourself a TV mini-series right there.

Before Liz is ready for the walking assp, Kim wants to confide in us. Come closer:
“I worked out once. I gained like 10 pounds. All the papers were like, Kim’s pregnant! I ate the nuts on the street corner, the hot dogs, the street meat. It was not a joke.”
