Been mentioned a few times on the 'photogate' thread that there are far worse things going on in the World at the moment than someone messing up their photo editing (sorry, Chelts, I meant post production...) and one of them is the seemingly dystopian fall of a nation of eleven million people into misrule by gang warfare. Again, another thread about fighting after the Cardiff game suggested that those responsible should be put into situations like this as a sort of kill or cure solution but my view is that violence begets violence. The latest from the BBC (rated as of ninth in the stories of interest to the viewing and listening public, the withdrawing of Kate's snap still most read) I find very sobering:
'The situation is dire at the State University of Haiti Hospital, known as the general hospital, in downtown Port-au-Prince. There is no sign of any medical staff at all.
A dead body, covered by a sheet and swarming with flies, lies in a bed next to patients waiting in vain for treatment.
Despite the overpowering stench, no-one has come to remove the body. It is rapidly decomposing in the Caribbean heat.'
Yeah seriously, am in Montrose for the weekend so took in their game against Alloa Athletic this afternoon. Down to ten men halfway through the second half Alloa brought on a substitute, still a lean mean scoring machine - who didn't score. Actually was halfway useful but Alloa still lost 4-3.
