Hero and Zero of the Week

Posted in Features. Written by Donal Blaney on March 20th, 2009

This Week’s Hero is…

…Paul Saville, a humble student who has been arrested for writing “are we free?” in chalk, on a pavement. Police Officers asked him to stop and when he added one more letter he was arrested for criminal damage. Meanwhile, hate filled protesters are allowed to chant abuse at returning UK soldiers. It’s a funny old world. Saville stood up to the absurd behaviour of the police, and was arrested for his troubles. I guess he got an answer to his question. Well done Paul Saville, for standing up for liberty. 

This Week’s Zero Is…

….(apart from the police who arrested Paul Saville!) President Barack Obama, after he insulted the disabled with a joke about the Special Olympics. Not very Presidential, is it? Obama seems to struggle is he isn’t being scripted.
