NOT the news.

All..... to me!

The news service today is telling me that Jennifer Anniston and Justin Theroux have just split up. 

Big deal.

This is not news.

People break up, make up and fall in and out of love every day.

The news service today is telling me that scientists can detect gender in a child’s speech at the age of 5.

I can tell the gender of a child, more or less, on day one.

And I’m not a scientist.

Ok, ok, I know – it’s about speech and who says what but, hey – people are different.

Equal, but different.

It’s not news.

A journalist is telling me that poverty is so sharp today that even the rich can see it. 

This is not news.

It has always been like this.

Nor is it news that most of them choose to ignore it.

They don’t care.

Philanthropy is an exception not the rule.

I also read that the British Prime Minister is asking Europe not to put ideology first. 

It is not news that she is shameless hypocrite.

And, apparently the leader of the UKIP party is claiming that the scrutiny of his love life, is on a par with that suffered by Princess Diana. 

Ha!

Don’t make me vomit.

Try this at a party.

“Can you name the lover of Princess Diana?” 

And then “Can you name the lover of the leader of the UKIP party?” 

“Can you name the leader of the UKIP party?”

I’m a bit grumpy today.

NEWS!
