Recent times have been fraught with lies, treachery and deceit of the highest order, and for once I’m not referring to Natsha from Babestation not doing as I commanded for £10 a text.

It seems the whole world is starting to have enough and instead of just staying in their homes, quietly rocking back and forth in the fetal positions, resigned to the fact that they can’t do anything and are doomed, have instead decided enough was enough and been taking to the streets to vent their anger and actually affect political change.

Who knew that when the students of Britain took to the streets in December 2010, annoyed that the supposed good times of paying £3000 in tuition fees and building up huge debts was coming to an end and therefore decieded to take their anger out on windows and a van, would have knock-on effects elsewhere?

For starters, this year we’ve already seen the power of the people in Tunisia, which aside from being a f**king boring place to go to unless you actively enjoy staying in a compound hotel drinking various bottles of liquid s**t to pass the time, it seems that people there finally got annoyed about the silly lack of this thing called freedom which apparently tourists told them all about while gagging on kiddy booze and chasing after camels.

With this knowledge, and the desire to be able to look at filth unrestricted on the internet as well as perhaps an unrestricted news service and maybe some other good things thrown in for good measure like civil liberties, the good people rallied together to force out the old regime and currently a interim government has been put in it’s place while things get sorted out, which in the meantime has meant freedom of expression is for the time being at least, is being allowed to flourish.

This seem to then spark off a whole new ball game in Egypt, where basically the same thing was the reason why the people took to the streets, pretty much in the same vain as the Tunisian people, but aside from getting down about high unemployment, skyrocketing food prices, pervasive poverty and being unable to walk like an Egyptian, they soon demanded that the corrupt president in power, a thunderbirds puppet called Mubarak, simply p*ss off and allow them to have the same freedoms now being enjoyed by others.

However whereas Tunisia is currently undergoing changes to whit no-one knows what will be the end result, which is exciting as well as frightening for the local populous, in Egypt, the protests are still going on after a couple of weeks and show no sign of dying down, mainly as Mubarak basically gave them the two-finger salute and held firm while seeing if he can get a last minute flight to Vegas. Which he couldn’t do for the first couple of days of the protests as someone cut off the internet there. Naughty.

Incredibly the Army, who have been surrounding the protesters have actually not interfered at all, which suggests they too no longer back the ruling powers that be, or they’d rather top up their tans.

Cairo’s Tahrir Square has been one of the main focal points for all this, with happy go lucky crowds continue to press for the end of Mubarak’s evil empire regime, while officials offered another set of compromises to try to appease anti-government protesters, which they’re too happy to do seeing as magically they are getting a 15% pay rise out of nowhere.

The only thing which you do wonder is where is it going to start next, as if victory for those who desire freedoms does indeed come to pass, then you have to wonder who will then take up the banner in the middle east and perhaps will this sudden upsurge in public outcry and protest extend to other countries where people are jolly annoyed at everything.

If people have a good taste of real freedoms in these countries, where terrorists are supposed to be born every 5 seconds, maybe the world will be a safer place all round and everyone can have a laugh and a piece of cake without getting annoyed at everyone else for once.

And most importantly seeing as we don’t care about foreigners, would we see more action in Britain? After all, we’ve already seen one student lot and that was just about paying too much to learn about crap which you won’t ever use in life again while getting stoned and watching the Teletubbies. Given the current cutting trends, the job losses and the ever growing anger among the majority if the papers are to be believed, how long will it be before we demand change once more?

Experience tells me, only if we ran out of tea or lager, would we do anything. In the meantime, hooray for freedom! Now return to your normal lives before I declare martial law and have you killed.
