Early morning listening

I was having difficulty sleeping last night, so I listened to the wireless for a while. In the space of an hour or so, I learned about the following from the BBC World Service (World Football and Outlook)
Good grief!

I suppose I must be grateful that the arts magazine programme The Strand which followed all of this stuff was not on this occasion presented by the ultra-right-on Bidisha, otherwise we would probably have been treated to a short gig by a Lesbo-Anarchist band from Finland, who perform by strumming their clitorises as a protest against FGM. Instead we had Harriet Gilbert celebrating Istanbul's status as a 2010 European (sic) capital of culture.

Incidentally, why does Bidisha assume that we gora simpletons can't pronounce her family name? Or is she just ashamed of actually being called Bidisha Eyjafjallajökull?

Comments:

Perhaps thats a veiled signal that Europe's leaders are about to grow a pair. We are going to re-establish the Byzantine empire, turf out the Turkish Muslim occupiers, yay! Istanbul/Byzantium will once again be a European capital.
