British Home Secretary and wife of donkey porn aficionado Richard Timney, Jacqui Smith, has revealed the names of sixteen (16) people banned from entering the UK. They include a neo-nazi, a former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, two former leaders of a violent Russian skinhead gang, The Pope, Anthony Blair, and radio talk show host Michael Savage.

Hold up.

Radio talk show host Michael Savage?!

WHAT THE FUCK?

Zef and I used to listen to him on Talk Sport after James Whale, as far as I recall. He was similarly opinionated and shouty, but slightly less amusing. But, really, should he banned from entering the UK for being LESS FUNNY THAN JAMES WHALE?

Actually, Lady Le Smith has different reasons:

“Coming to this country is a privilege. If you can’t live by the rules that we live by, the standards and the values that we live by, we should exclude you from this country and, what’s more, now we will make public those people that we have excluded. [Savage] is someone who has fallen into the category of fomenting hatred, of such extreme views and expressing them in such a way that it is actually likely to cause inter-community tension or even violence if that person were allowed into the country.

[Savage] is not your sort of Terry Wogan type character by any means… we have a choice in this country, as to who we want to welcome here and who not, and its a privilege to come here, and if people can’t live up to the sorts of standards we would expect I think its right that we, as we have done, exclude them from the country.”

WE have a choice? Who’s this we? No one asked me. If anyone did ask me, I would say, yes, there is a sort of person we don’t want in this country, the sort of person who spends a great deal of time fomenting hatred and causing inter-community tension as a matter of course, the sort of person who uses public money to buy shitty moves and porn for her deadbeat husband, the sort of person who likes to murder brown babies indiscriminately, and spy on people like some creepy bush-dwelling perv, and that sort of person is YOU, Jacqui Smith, so you should fuck the fuck off to Antarctica right now, and live out the rest of your foul days in a freezing hole in the ground, you rotten, wretched excuse for a cold blooded mammal, you.

It’s nice here in the factory, thanks for asking. I have a second desk now, for drawing and sellotaping jiffy bags on, and I am listening to old Morrissey B Sides in my pink toweling dressing gown that has Akira The Don embroidered on the back of it – a gift from my fine woman, and an upgrade from the old pink toweling dressing gown I was wearing for four years far too much, that I inherited from BJ’s mother, strangely enough. Today I am PACKAGING AND POSTING BUTTLOADS OF CDS AND T SHIRTS! Apparently the Friday post worked, as a number of you were spotted wearing Omega Sanction Ts at Scroobius Pip’s show. I HAVE SPIES! And you looked great, apparently. Well done.

Last night we had the second meeting of The New Band, (who need a new name… The Women, for now, have been laid to rest) along with our aforementioned musical director, and that was all very good, and tremendously exciting. Those of you that have seen me before are going to be surprised by the Goliath awesomeness and professionalism we’re bringing to this Dawn of The Don show. That and the new songs, which are stupidly pop. Our old friend Morty (one of two new Donettes) was shocked by my new sound. Almost as shocked as she was by my haircut. So there you go.

By the way, I meant to mention on Sunday when it happened, but I didn’t for some reason… anyway, world famous super G Adam Walton‘s BBC Radio Wales show was something of an Omega Sanction special – he played a load of songs from the new mixtape, and my latest audio blog, in which I related a story told to me by Dr Stephen Hague, about the time David Bowie and Brian Eno nearly got killed over some giant condoms. Or something. You can listen back here.
