We're doomed apparently

From the utterly wonderful Me-Me-Me TV:

This man here, who likes to keep his whites Persil white, is Yahya Jammeh, who, when he’s not getting busy with the Vanish, is the President of Gambia, a highly functioning, highly lovely country that is ‘protected by God’, God as usual doing an excellent job.

Apart from thinking that AIDS can be cured by bananas and undisclosed herbs (maybe parsley but could be basil, pronounced the English way), he also thinks that the world is doomed because of gays. (Come on God! Sort it out, for fuck’s sake!)

‘Let me make it very clear,’ he said, picking up on David Cameron’s habit of making everything very clear, ‘…that if they…’ and by ‘they’ he means any country that has got round to stuff like having democracy and stopping the whipping of children for being possessed by witches… ‘If they think that they can be homosexuals and want to impose homosexuality on the globe, they are doomed.’

Honey, we’re not just thinking we can be homosexuals, we’re putting quite a bit of hard graft and elbow grease into it. What do you take us for? Amateurs?

‘They say I am intolerant…’ he went on (‘they’ may have a point), ‘and that homosexuals are a minority that is being oppressed in this country…’ Well, to clarify, a law was recently passed where ‘aggravated homosexuals’ (that means you’ve done it more than once) are given life imprisonment…

‘All the religious books condemn homosexuality…’ Except the ones about fairies at the bottom of the garden, thank you very much… ‘And there is a so-called power of democracy that says that homosexuality is a right…’ Is it us, or is he starting to ramble on and not finish his sentences?

‘All empires before collapsed not at the time they were weakest, but at the peak of their might and when they equated themselves with the almighty Allah. So this evil empire of homosexuals will also go down the dirty drain and garbage of hell.’

Well, what’s it to be? The dirty drain? Or the garbage of hell? Don’t make us choose!

The man's an lunatic. No wonder there was a recent (unfortunately failed) attempt to stage a coup to overthrow him.

Meanwhile, those open-minded souls at Thomas Cook are still offering holidays there.

No thanks.
