15-05-2007 17:30

"What sort of a country are we living in if a politician comes to Nottingham and speaks here to a group of people in the city centre and during his speech a heckler replies 'bollocks'. Are we expect this person to be incarcerated, or do we live in a country where we are proud of our Anglo-Saxon heritage"
- Mr. John Mortimer
QC in the 'Nevere mind the Bollocks - It's the sex pistols' case

"Bollocks 2 Blair" needs to be clearly defined... please help!

13-05-2007 18:12

I have been reading up on "bollocks" and have found a variety of meanings and usages.

Back in the day, around 1000 A.D., it gave reference to a small ball. Later on, in the 18th century, it referred to a priest and cuz priests talk such shite, it gave further reference to the shite that priests spoke - bollocks... and the meaning of the word continued to grow to testicles and beyond...

Please attend this court hearing so as to ensure my personal safety and so justice may be claerly seen to be done.

It took a lot of effort on my part to secure this listing which despite wonderful help from those who slog in the chaos that is the offices whithin COWMC, justice certainly wasn't easily accessible.

DJ ARBUTHNOT: Horseshit Road, Westminster Maggots Courts

12-04-2007 11:11

I cordially invite the public to come witness the antics of several very bent judges and the political trials of peaceful individuals.

Friday, April 13, 2007 @ 2:00 p.m. I am listed to be tried as an artist, for exhibiting art. It will be up to the courts to determine whether that act is a serious organised crime and whether I was participating in a "demonstration". Somehow reminds me of Mark Wallinger and his State Britain installation with regards to Mr. Brian W. Haw and his illegally seized artworks i.e. 3 Banksy's amongst gifts of art from around the globe, from all nations - an installation of evidence of genocide and torture, an exhibition of peace and love.

What if the police win their appeal? Could it be the end of this Critical Mass, after 12 years of monthly rides, or the beginning of a strategic rebellion?
