More from Marisa's blurred (thinking) kingdom

This should bring us closer to the workers.
The General Workers Union has relaunched itself, “to be closer to the workers”. This has involved getting a new logo, redesigning its website, and refurbishing the entrance to its headquarters.
Where’s the nearest wall, so that I can bang my head against it in despair?

There’s a Bronze Age wall at Borg in-Nadur. They say it’s good.
This new logo is very appropriate: it depicts the GWU sinking to the bottom of a bloodbath.
Lino, it’s even more appropriate than that. If you analyse the shape in more detail you will see that it has two round corners and two angles and it is tilted to suggest motion activity. It is currently on a round corner (bottom right) which means that it is active. Next corner will be an angle (no activity) and it is expected to coincide with the next Labour administration in 2013. Moreover, as the shape turns, ‘GWU’ will be facing downwards, suggesting a “yes sir” attitude usually adopted by the union whenever a Labour administration is in office.
Wow, what a great leap forward. But they should have changed the name also. Perhaps a more militant tone? How about the ‘General Wrecking Unit’ or maybe ‘Ghastly Warmongers United’. Come on guys, put your thinking caps on. I’m sure you must have at least one lying around in your closet somewhere.
