Following that retweet I’d like to add something. I went to to funeral yesterday. It was a proper welsh chapel funeral with a proper welsh minister. You could have rolled back the clock a hundred years and the same service wouldn’t be out of place.

During the eulogy he mentioned that it was always sad to lose someone at Xmas. And he said how we were in danger of truly losing the true meaning of Xmas. He said he had seen an advert the night before saying Tesco - delivering Christmas for 100 years.

He held up the bible and said, well this has been delivering Christmas for over 2000 years. Now I am not religious at all, but he had a very good point. We’ve even gone beyond the point of Christmas about being about family or Santa Claus ..

It is rapidly becoming about it being about getting an artificial discount on a 72” tele made in some Chinese or Korean sweat shop this Friday. It made me stop and think how ridiculously fucked up things are becoming ...

Just wanted to get that out of my system ..
