From Tesco to the Pope

Once upon a time we bought food from shops. Now we buy into an homogenized conglomerate lifestyle where everything is owned by "The Company" in some Kafkaesque nightmare and we are branded, categorised and studied like battery hens and indoctrinated into "Club Card" culture and believing them when they say "Every Little Helps."

When the supply chain is bullied into coercion and competitive prices and all our fruit starts to look like wax models and supermarkets sell everything from petrol to CD's we know its all gone too far.

Still, not as bad as Walmart on the other side of the pond who censor CD's and sell guns.

But as Tesco buy one of our favourite independent food chains to ensure that we eat our way into their lifestyle choice I cant help but be distracted by the goings on at the Vatican.

So we have our first Latin American Pope and a positive youngster at 76 he sure will be setting the place on fire with radical new ideas and drag the Catholic Church screaming back into the 19th Century.

And as Mr & ex Mrs Hune spend their second night in Jail and try to mingle with the inmates Honest Dave does yet another U Turn on the issue of cheap booze. And lets face it, if booze becomes too expensive the needy will only start turning to cheaper ways of getting high, like anti freeze and heroin.

The masses need their Opium to misquote a genius
