The (K)night Crawler

Well, I did warn you, didn't I? See here (last paragraph).

So, darling Bono is to be given a knighthood by Blair.

I have to admit that it didn't take much foresight or imagination to see this one coming. A government in deep trouble, a Prime Minister who should be only inches away from the dock of a major court, and where both have a tabloid-like obsession with celebrity? It was inevitable that this non-boat-rocker, who thinks that branding is more important than substance, and that playing meaningless corporate-sponsored festivals is more significant than getting onto the streets and kicking some arse; a man who recently moved a large chunk of his personal fortune out of his native land so as not to have to pay tax on it: as I say, it was a foregone conclusion that such a one should be given a bijou baublette to wear on that bloody silly stetson hat he's just got back off one of his former employees.

So, congratulations Paul Hewson KBE (King of Bollocks for Evermore)!

Oh, and I bet Midge Ure's pissed off at having being forgotten yet again....
