No Good Advice


It has been brought to Mme Mao attention that the "pop group" Girls Aloud are taking an active interest in the political sphere. As reported on the BBC they have made clear their thoughts on the downfall of British society. Some key thoughts and/or proposals include:

"It's boring. No 18-year-old wants to watch Gordon Brown doing his whole speech - turn it over!,"

"Politicians should stop trying to be cool and get on with running the country"


"You'd happily pay taxes if you thought: 'I'm paying them so a fireman or a nurse can have a decent wage',"


Now you'll forgive an old wizened Chinese women for not grasping the nuances of British pop music and the nature of its relationship with politics but I was under the impression that these five trollops were the runners-up in a reality TV show and have managed to maintain their celebrity until this time by racially abusing and assaulting nightclub toilet staff, admitting to drug use, marrying a professional footballer and constantly being pictured drunk in tabloid newspapers. Due to which they are entitled to say fuck all about anything important.


Who do they think they are? Bono?

Yeah, but they've got some really good tunes. The production values are amazing.
