    Agree a world without Oscars would be a better one but abolishing things goes against my libertarian principles.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Do white artists get considered for the MOBO awards? Frankly award ceremonies seem like an excuse for a piss up and a bit of back slapping and corporate expense spending?

    I suppose televised award ceremonies are considered good value marketing.

    Or in the case of hi-fi magazines the awards issue is a chance to reprint all the year's reviews again and have an easy month. The press equivalent of a doing a clip show.
