The Review of the
This year America bombed several third-world countries in the Middle East in the name of justice and equality. These countries all had connections with oil. Various others with equally dire human-rights records went 'unpunished'.
Britain and Australia continued to assist America in its war efforts by jamming their political tongues firmly up America's fat arsehole (namely its president). Numerous casualties resulted due to weapons malfunctions and crap piloting on behalf of the American airforce. None of the casulties were American.
There were several scandals involving financial dealings, back-handers and sado-masochistic sex in the British cabinet. After initially 'standing by' those accused, the Prime Minister then sacked them.
Several religious leaders attempted to cover up the paedophile activities of some of their staff. Following initial denials the guilty bishops were struck off with only a £10,000,000.00 pension to sustain them through their frail dotage.
More public institutions were privatised this year whilst previously privatised companies were accused of delivering shoddy goods and third rate services. The general rate of decline in the 'privatised sector' continues unchallenged by government officials.
There were several train crashes. Nobody took responsibility.
Michael Barrymore continued to hit the headlines and continued to get away with murder.
Some celestial event (such as a meteor shower or a comet or something) turned out to be a complete waste of time after months of speculation failed to take the lousy British weather into account.
Several celebrities died this year. The press described at least one of them as the 'Last of the Great British Actors'.
Everyone-else aged by twelve months.
