Via Bloomberg:

Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe has lost elections, the main opposition Movement for Democratic Change party said, citing early results posted at polling stations. The official outcome hasn’t been announced.

The party, led by Morgan Tsvangirai, garnered 67 percent of the 30 percent of votes so far counted[.]

However,

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe says he is confident of winning today’s elections by a landslide majority.

Mugabe has threatened reprisals over the vote:

Mugabe’s camp said any announcement by the MDC leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, that he was the rightful president would be treated as tantamount to a coup and dealt with accordingly.

Update:

Election observers in Zimbabwe have expressed concerns over “delays” in announcing official presidential poll results, amid fears of rigging.

The head of one monitors’ group said he had “no doubt” officials now know most results. None have yet been released.

The election commission said late on Sunday that no results would be announced until 0400GMT on Monday.

Riot police have been patrolling the streets of the capital, Harare, and residents were told to stay indoors.

Earlier tonight (Saturday) I watched BBC2’s “The Culture Show” - OK that admission has demolished my street cred amongst the thicker part of the proletariat but they can all fuck off anyway.

I digress, however, from my main point — which is … Mark Kermode a top man if ever there was such a thing.

Fuck it — I have digressed again. The point about this post, is that due to the Kermodemeister, tonight I discovered that Paris Fucking Hilton has a new fillum oot. What a Nazi piece of shit it is. Only a very sick society can produce such a form of art - although saying that, we here in the UK did manage to give The Weakest Link to the world. One other thing — Kermode has in the past recommended this fillum which I watched last night — naming the film as his best of 2007 in his end-of-year review on Simon Mayo’s BBC radio programme. Now — I am normally well disposed to the Kermode but on this occasion I have to say his judgment is somewhat askew to say the least. If you can get past the stupid southern drawl accents to actually udderstand what the fuck is being said, then the fillum is still the longest, most pointless waste of your time spenterated in front of your telly all year.

PS — Paris Hilton is not ‘hot’.

This is hot.

That is all. Communiqué ends.

PPS. Fuck it — I will allow opinions on this post. Regardless of the author’s proclivities.  I will then fuck you over.
