Hello and Welcome to the Hayden Cohen Show. You may be wondering what this is and so am
I. In basic terms stuff happens and I'll go on about it just up until the point it gets
boring. To keep up to date click that subscribe button.
This week, Thanks to the wonderful Freedom of Information Act where after 30 years many
private governmental documents enter the public domain, we heard lots of new juicy gossip
about good ol' Maggie Thatcher. All links by the way, are in the description below.
Not only did Thatcher plan to use the army during the miners strike, couldn't care less
about Nelson Mandela and lied about the number of mines she wanted to close, but she had
her hair done 120 times in one year. Now I would never dream of saying that maybe she
should've spent less time on her coiffeur and more on sorting out the increasing class
tension as well as the North South Divide, but the best thing about this story is that
it had to be released as a state secret. Thatcher's hair was so vital to national security it
needed to be kept from the public. It makes one wonder what has remained redacted. Maybe
her hairspray had a cloaking device so the IRA thought she was a bag of potatoes. Maybe
her bouffant was a faraday cage for nuclear device. Or maybe she was nervous that if she'd
move her head even slightly her hair would become bedraggled. Most people don't know
that the full quote is 'This Lady's not for turning because I'm worried about my hair.'
In other controversial self-obsessed politician news, I'm happy to report that Nick Griffin,
head of the British National Party and self styled Indigenous person in chief (has anyone
ever showed him a picture of a dinosaur, oh they have... and it's called a mirror) is
now bankrupt. Completely penniless, he has declared he will still run to be a Member
of the European Parliament. Even better, Nick himself is happy about the news. He said and
I quote 'It does free me from financial worries. I am now turning the experience to the benefit
of hard-up constituents by producing a booklet on dealing with debt' called 'Kick a Romanian
in the groin and nick griffin all his money. I made that last bit up.
Also this week there has been weather. Oh no! Weather. Yep, there has been flooding
all over the south and west coast of England. Don't get me wrong. It's bad. Peoples homes
and businesses have been destroyed yet again, but the fetishisation of weather gets a bit
ridiculous. I'm pleased that the Syria conflict is now over (well at least forgotten) and
the cartel have stopped their beheadings in Mexico, but isn't there any more news to report
on? Queue footage of old people discussing twerking
in 3,2,1. And that's it for this Hayden Cohen Show.
Tune in next time for some more stuff.
