And so another working week shudders to an
end. Last night I had a long chat with one of our authors who also works for the
DSS. He told me about the obscenely draconian legislation for benefits claimants
which is being proposed for 2015 and after. I really cannot believe that any
government could be so harsh, and I would love to say that I think that the
British people are not going to just like down passively and take this latest
affront towards our individual freedoms. But I am sure that we will all just
roll over like good little puppies and take it. What the hell happened to the
spirit of protest and dissent? Like John Lennon said: "Keep you doped with
religion and sex and TV, And you think you're so clever and classless and free",
and we all know what he said next.
Wise up people. Before it is too
late.
I heard from Richard who telephoned me
briefly from Gatwick. By now, he, Christophe and Adele should be in Sumatra.
Let's all keep our collective fingers crossed that the expedition in search of
orang pendek - the undiscovered upright walking ape of Sumatra - is a
success.

* The Gonzo Daily is a two way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work, or even just say hello please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow...
* The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html
* We should probably mention here, that some of our posts are links
to things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are
not responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites.
Honest guv!
* Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) and two very small kittens (one of whom is also orange) puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish, and sometimes a small Indian frog. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
