"Renault have been given a two-year suspended ban for their role in fixing last year's Singapore Grand Prix."
Ahh Formula 1, the art of getting in a rocket on wheels and keeping it on a winding strip of grey stuff and off the acres of green stuff and big deadly walls. It's racing, and as the '1' suggests, it's the number one car racing championship in the world. The idea of racing however, has long been shelved for politics. No longer is a driver who can actually drive likely to win, it's the driver who will earn the most money for winning that does. It's happened for years, since Ferarri slowed whoever was driving down to let King Schumacher win another race which nobody watched. This year however, the French went one further, slowing just wasn't as fun as ploughing a human into a wall at 150kph.
Alonso, old world champion, wasn't winning, and big boss wanted him to. He needed a way of slowing the race, not a way of making Alonso speed up, so ordered his other driver, Piquet, to crash into a wall at high speed. Crazily, he did, and the crash was one of the worst seen this year, endangering the lives of spectators, other drivers, and obviously the little man in his flimsy fibreglass rocket that exploded around him. Unsurprisingly, everyones been banned and suspended (except the drivers who didn't really have a choice), and a powerful message was put across F1 before people took this theory further.
Where does this leave us in sport now, if Fergies reds hadn't beaten their Manchester City rivals last weekend would he have Tommy Gunned the whole team down? Will the 2012 olympic racers carry grenades incase they fall behind? Well no, the olypmics won't have been build by 2050, but the message is there. If you want real sport, go to a 'Fiver a ticket' banger race at your local race track, it's the one place where politics have kept out of racing. For now.

Students Pay More, Quick, Act Shocked!
"University students in the UK should pay more for their loans and accept higher tuition fees as "inevitable", says a report from business leaders."
Thats the news that greets me when I look at BBC News today, and grabs me as obviously I'd like to know what I'll be paying in upcoming years of student life. Lots, that appears to be the answer. As always is the news, the UK is plummeting into a huge amount of debt, and the public is unable to say a word about why it is, and so the public gets the punishment. So what is to blame, and how can we sort it?
Well it's not immigrants, that's racist.
It's not crime, that could hurt a policeman.
It's not the government themselves, they're perfect to an almost Godlike status.
Must be the students, the people least likely to vote against any government on the basis they have enough to worry about (such as why their loans have now inexplicably doubled in price) to bother voting.
One theory is that that we are losing our British economy and that students are wasting our money investing in careers away from laboured work. As just one example against this theory, we want mechanics for British cars? The British have made Jaguars and Rolls Royces, which are taxed for power and emmisions, Range Rovers and Land Rovers, which are taxed for being gas guzzling 4X4s and killing that big zone in the sky. So nobody is buying them, we all want a little Mini (now German) or Peugeot (French), because the government haven't thought up a reason to tax that yet. All this creates as many jobs for mechanics as there are for parapelegic bicycle inventors.
How about, just this once, we blame the people to blame. People wasting our dole, people evading our taxes, and people who sit at home in their matchbox sized flats with HD TVs the size of a small planet, watching Jeremy Kyle all day until the time comes for them to appear on there themselves, in a swarm of bleeped insults, greasy hair and warts indistinguishable from the teeth they protrude from their snarling mouths. Just stop blaming the students, we can shape the countries future.

Basics of the story are as follows, Katie Price (Also known as Jordan, or the carcass of meat from some sort of nasty road kill accept we see gawping and pouting at the camera on ITV38+6) claimed that she had previously been raped by a mysterious celebrity ex. As any newspaper which I refuse to read has reported on page 1 of every day this month, she recently divorced Petre Andre, 'famous' for his 'songs' Mysterious girl and Flava (Not Craig Davids, that was tolerable), and so will have half the nation wishing to knife Andres waterfall attracting body as nobody cares to delve into her other million relationships of equal insignificance. It turns out she has been with other 'celebrities', but these are so low down the listings of fame they haven't invented a letter for it yet, Z-List is just too high a ranking. Amazing. What it also turns out is that it's another desperate cry for attention from AllBoobsNoBrain despite her having an alleged music career, half of ITVs listings and every 40 year old man who knows a pornstar name to look good down his local pub.
This interests me, not because I like the news surrounding irrelevant celebrities. I like seeing the lengths a person will go to to earn some money, sympathy and attention, and love the tabloids absolutley inane ideas at how truthful a story must be to be published. Furthermore, this story beat the stories of Patrick Swayzes death by cancer, and us all discovering the country goes further into a big pit debt £6,000 a second.
