Splen Are Splendid!!

Following on from pirate metal, I have been digging around the internet for more bands and have discovered Splen - which is the side project of the guitarist from Alestorm. They truly are splendid! And they like burgers! Wow!

Their site can be found at splen.co.uk/

All the songs are good (they can be found in the al-bums section) but my personal favourites include:
Walk In The Cat
We Love Coupar Angus
Richard Branson Parts I and II
Hmm, Cod
Wood
Pop Idol: The Musical
I Am A Bouncer

Splen are good! Yay! They have nice albums!!

Hatred

Not all Muslims are fanatics, only a handful are.

Not all Christians are fanatics, only a handful are.

Not all *insert collective noun describing a religion here* are fanatics, only a handful are.

Whilst I don't condone the actions of Muslim FANATICS over the last few days, why does the press persist in sewing hatred and division by continuously highlighting specific cases designed to tarnish ALL Muslims with the same brush? This has happened on countless occasions throughout the last ten years and whilst in this case it is justified, in most others it is not.

Bigotry works both ways and the Press are partially responsible for the current state of affairs. Instead of trying to understand, the Press has resorted to highlighting an "us and them" situation and this is not good for any of us.

Cue shit storm.
