TOM CLARK: Warning on road to Goonie House: No way to escape

In this photo released by the Syrian official news agency SANA, civilians carry their belongings as they flee from fighting between Syrian government forces and rebels in Hamouria in eastern Ghouta, a suburb of Damascus, Syria, on Thursday, March 15, 2018. Thousands streamed out of Syria's besieged, opposition-held enclave of eastern Ghouta on Thursday, crossing on foot and in pick-up trucks and tractors to government-held territory near the capital, Damascus, according to footage on state-run Syrian television.: : photo by via SANA via AP, 15 March 2018

And your snotty richboy ilk
You miserable grifter
Nothing good still exists
Like classic art deco pharmacy
That does free delivery

Serious Statesman Mark Zuckerberg, whose 2018 challenge is to "focus on fixing the important issues" facing his company, has yet to acknowledge the scandal which has wiped $25bn and counting from its market: tweet via you heard it here first: tweting is bad @alexhern, 6:48 AM 19 March 2018

50bn down and around $10bn wiped off Zuckerberg’s personal wealth. Facebook carrying out a forensic investigation of CA’s servers even while the ICO is forced to get a warrant.

Hi. I'm Mark. I will always be here for you, inside this little plastic POS. You can't be popular or successful or famous without me. Don't even try. Have I said yet that "Hi, I'm Mark..." This is not a recording. This is a machine that proves you're an idiot. Over and over and over. You can trust it. You're hooked. You can't stop. A sucker like you is born 2000 times a minute once every 2000 years. You're my fish. Our data shows even the weakest and least inspiring world religions can have an awesome shelflife with the right packaging. Hi, I'm Mark. Have a nice day. Want to be in the Awesome Zuck Reich? It's going to be way cool. But you wouldn't want to have tea with Putin, you say? But you'd have no problem with Friending, or being Friended by Ol' Bad Vlad, right? OK! No judgments!

The blind exorcist summoned by your at last exposed and suddenly disposable nation in the aftermath of the one day war which dismantled in one blow its entire material empire and planet ownership forever is laughing somewhere now, in the darkness, bound and gagged, with his face to the wall he can't see, He knows it wasn't meant to be a comedy. He knows he can't dispel or eradicate your demons. He knows that even if you deactivate Facebook, everything it has taken from you is gone forever, and no longer yours. You have been bought and sold and traded upon every time you just wanted to curl up on the sofa and have a good cry and suck your thumb a bit, before going back into battle.

Both gripped by the Cambridge Analytica scoops on Channel 4 News. They've pulled back the skin and the foetid innards are on plain show. I can't be hearing any chat about democracy. As for Zuckerberg, his schmuck grin is wearing thin.

I'm glad you began in Ghouta where the memes have all dried up.

Thanks Duncan, lovely to think of and hear from you both.

Without ever having had or been on or whatever the term is, facebook, I have been convinced for some time that Zuck's "dumb fucks" are just that, and deserve no better than what they get from him - taken.

Social networking has made the world an awful place, or else is a symptom and symbol of the awful place the world has become, specifically since about the time social networking hove into view.

One of these days, most likely not til they are well gone, dead, silenced or offloaded to Idlib, it may be recognized that this revolution of Syria's meant something, and not only to those who fought and are still fighting it.

RIP Mark E Smith, the last northern white rhino of so called pop music.

The Fall: Birmingham School of Business School, from Code: Selfish (1992)

The car is at the roundabout
The policeman is at the roundabout
But I'm full of surprises now
And my friend, he said I'm full of surprises now
Let me tell you about scientific management
And the theft of its concealment
The Birmingham School of Business School
In Birmingham
It's main theme
Weave a web so magnificent
Disguise in the art of conceit
Give a very firm handshake
And take the bastards for everything that they rate
The Birmingham Business School of Business School
Deposits prisoner robotics
Home to their wives Stepford
Case-carrying
Business School
Birmingham School of Business School
Birmingham School of Business School
In the heart of Britain
The big heart of England

The jumped up prats

The Birmingham School of Business School
Birmingham School of Business School
Laughing-stock of European

Exciting developments
The Birmingham School of Business School
The Birmingham School of Business School
The Birmingham School of Business School
