Carl Whant is today's Cunt of the Day.
When it comes to being a depraved piece of shit, Whant pushes the boat right out. In Newport, Wales, Whant has been sentenced to a minimum of 35 years in jail for the rape and murder of his cousin's heavily pregnant partner Nikitta Grender. After raping Ms Grender, Whant slashed her throat, stabbed her in the abdomen and set fire to her home.
As if that is not enough, at trial Whant explained that he had consensual sex with Grender at the suggestion of his cousin. The judge described him as "a "calculating, vain and devious" individual", capable of "quite extraordinary hypocrisy" which he demonstrated by taking flowers to the Grender household after the murder. The Guardian reports that Whant "appeared to yawn" as unanimous guilty verdicts were read out for the charges of murder, rape, child destruction and arson.
Justice has been done and Grender's family can perhaps now try and get over this truly horrendous event. While we should be glad that 35 years is about the longest jail sentence anyone can get in the UK, you can't help hoping that Whant's fellow inmates and prison guards go the extra mile to make his life a living hell - every fucking day.
Sponsored by people who think an industrial dispute in Cork, Ireland is worthy of mentioning today. 32 former workers at Vita Cortex are now in their tenth week of a sit in over redundancy payments the company does not want to cough up. If company director Sean McHenry thought the dispute might soon be over, it only appears to be gathering steam as the world at large is now taking an interest in the story.

As with climate change initiatives, it becomes near impossible for the international community to implement an effective resolution to a genocide when one nation becomes hell-bent on defying all sence and reason -- even international law; -- and it would seem Venezuela's Hugo chavez has gone beyond the usual false bravado laced rhetoric and has begun shipping fuel the assad regime. It's myopic of chavez to say the least, in that while he believes he's sticking it to the "imperialist west," his actions explicitly ensure assad's tanks run on time, and every atrocity on assad's docket is carried out on schedule. Chavez likes to think of himself as the next Bolivar, but in reality his actions are tantamount to Juan Peron clandestinely granting political asylum to nazi war criminals who escaped to Argentina through vatican ratlines in the wake of WWII.
