We want any car - driving me nuts

We want any car.com have a series of film based advertisements currently running on TalkSport. One is based upon The Italian Job and features a poor, but recognisable, impression of Michael Caine. The one that is driving me nuts is the one based upon James Bond's Aston Martin DB5. This is a car most famously driven by Sean Connect, although also by Pierce Brosnan & Daniel Craig, so why is the impression of Roger Moore? It's a dreadful impression of Roger Moore as well but why not Sean Connery? Do facts not matter any more?

The 'holocaust' being perpetrated by Israel in Gaza

I keep being told of the 'holocaust' being perpetrated by Israel in Gaza; however this is just untrue.

Here's a graphic to show how the people of Gaza have NOT been systematically wiped out since 1967 whilst the Jews of Europe were between 1939 and 1945. 

I have previously published photos on this blog of  life in Gaza and death in a Nazi concentration camp but I make no apology for doing so again as the scum who try and make the comparison between what happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany (and its captured lands) and what is happening in Gaza are just way off the mark.

I actually find it hard to find words to adequately describe those people who accuse Israel of perpetrating a holocaust or committing genocide in Gaza. Whilst I think of some why not compare these photos of the concentration camp that is Gaza with a real concentration camp...

 
That's Gaza, now here's what happens when one group of people try and wipe out another group of people in a holocaust...

If you can't spot the difference then I fear that your humanity and sense of reason are at variance with mine and those of all civilised people and I would ask you to rethink your outlook on life and if you still think Gaza is a concentration camp and that Israel is perpetrating a holocaust against the Palestinians then please, kindly f*** off - I no longer want to discuss the matter with you.

What I sometimes want to say to some commenters on my blog

You swine. You vulgar little maggot. Don't you know that you are pathetic? You worthless bag of filth. As we say in Texas, I'll bet you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel. You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you.
You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you. You are a bloody nardless newbie twit protohominid chromosomally aberrant caricature of a coprophagic cloacal parasitic pond scum and I wish you would go away.
You're a putrescence mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.
You are a bleating fool, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf,  meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.
I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell?
If you aren't an idiot, you made a world-class effort at simulating one. Try to edit your writing of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly.
You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs.
You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you. You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot.
And what meaning do you expect your delusionally self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake?
You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease, you puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meatslapper.
On a good day you're a half-wit. You remind me of drool. You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.
I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed.  Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me. After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Duh.
The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped away most of what you wrote, because, well... it didn't really say anything. Your attempt at constructing a creative flame was pitiful. I mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of babbling was hardly effective... Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more difficult. If I had known, that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.

How desperate must you be...

Imagine how desperate you must be to jump from the window of your 80th, 90th, 100th story office. Imagine the fear of what would be worse than jumping to your certain death. On 9/11 around 200 people jumped from the Twin Towers rather than burn to death. 200 innocent people pushed to kill themselves because some twisted terrorists decided that killing innocent people was the thing to do. Of course to the Islamic terrorist these people were not innocent, I am not innocent, Mrs NotaSheep is not innocent and chances are they don't consider you innocent either. Because as Anjem Choudary (and other Islamists) have declared:

'When we say innocent people we mean Muslims, as far as non-Muslims are concerned they have not accepted Islam and as far as we are concerned that is a crime against God... As far as Muslims are concerned, you are innocent if you are a Muslim, then you are innocent in the eyes of God. If you are a non-Muslim then you are guilty of not believing in God... I must have hatred to anything that is not Islam"'

Remember that comment the next time some Islamist apologist says that Islam forbids the killing of 'innocents'. They do not consider anyone non-Muslim to be innocent; to them we are now, as we were on 9/11, all legitimate targets.

Also remember that comment the next time a BBC 'journalist' or a dhimmified Western politician tells you that Islam is a religion of peace.

In fact remember that comment every day of the rest of your life; because ou there are Islamist terrorists desperately devising the means to kill you and all other committers of crimes against their God.

Just a quick warning

An anonymous commenter has posted a comment re the Doug Stanhope and Sarah Palin that I have read but not yet posted. If he/she posts another comment withdrawing part of the first comment, it is obvious which part I mean, then I will happily not post it. Otherwise I will post it and respond appropriately.

There are some truly horrible people around!

The BBC, the Chandlers and UK based Somalis

The BBC just kept on telling us how the Somali community in the UK was working for the release of the Chandlers and upset by it. here's a few examples of this 'narrative', designed to make us feel warmer towards a section of immigrants that people seem not to like as much as others.

1) BBC World Service:

'Chandlers' release: How Somali exile negotiated with pirates

Rachel and Paul Chandler, a British couple who were held by Somali pirates for more than a year, were freed two weeks ago.

Dahir Kadiye is a Somali exile and former taxi driver living in London who helped to negotiate their release.

He spoke to the BBC's Fergus Nicoll about how he helped persuade the Chandlers' captors to let them go and how they reacted when they found out they were free.'

2) BBC News:

'The couple from Tunbridge Wells in Kent are on their way home and will no doubt be celebrating, as will be their family and friends.

So, too, is the large Somali expatriate community, especially those in the UK.

But who is to thank for the release of Paul and Rachel Chandler after 338 days in captivity?

Many people played a part but none so more than the UK's Somali community, keen to avoid more negative headlines.

People who were involved in securing the couple's freedom have told the BBC that the ransom demand was met by a few Somali Good Samaritans along with the Somali government.

When their kidnap was first confirmed on 23 October 2009, Somalis living around the UK were worried - for the Chandlers but also about what the rest of the British population would think of them if anything happened to the elderly couple - Paul is 60, while Rachel is 56.

"If the poor old couple were killed, can you imagine how bad it would be?" asked Ridwaan Haji Abdiwali, a presenter for the London-based satellite Somali channel, Universal TV.

He was one of those who organised the Somali diaspora to show its support for the Chandlers.

The Somali community is no stranger to bad press.

Mention the name Somalia and for many a fearful and suspicious vision of warlords, pirates, terrorists, gangs and police-killers is conjured up.

And the diaspora knows it only too well.

The total Somali population in the UK was estimated at 101,000 in 2008, although many believe the true figure is closer to 250,000.

The majority were welcomed to Britain as refugees in the 1990s.

Although most still dream of returning home, until peace comes to their war-ravaged and lawless homeland they remain stuck in places such as Wembley, Bristol and Birmingham.

For now though, the UK is home, and because of that, the community felt a calling to help out.

"It began as a sort of a feeling that we have among the community in Britain because we are British but because we come from Somalia," Mr Abdiwali told the BBC.

And also because "it is in our culture of the Somalis to look after the elderly people."

Beneath their negative image is a humble and closely-intertwined - some may say insular - community where trust is king.

Many joke that as a Somali you are automatically an activist and entrepreneur.

It is these qualities that drove the community elders and leaders to spring into action, organising meetings and rallies.

The campaign to free "the poor old couple" was born.

Mr Abdiwali dedicated his Have Your Say TV programme to the issue and it became an arena for the community to vent their anger and drum up support.

"People were phoning into the studios demanding their release. There was big pressure. People were very angry.

"I also interviewed Ali Gedow [the spokesman for the pirates who were holding the Chandlers]," he recalled.

"I gave him a very hard talk, asking: 'Why are you holding this old British couple? Do you believe that you will be paid if you kill or humiliate the life of old people? What food do you give them?' I asked him all these things. And every week we called him up."

The UK-based Somalis used their strong ties to their families back home and the clan structure which lies at the heart of Somali society to exert pressure on the pirates to free the Chandlers.

This led Mr Gedow to phone up Mr Abdiwali and complain: "Stop the pressure, you're annoying us. All we want is the money."'

And on and on and on.


3) The BBC timeline includes this entry:

'16 November 2009:

Representatives of the Somali community in the UK record messages - for broadcast on the BBC World Service and Eastern TV Network - appealing to the pirates to free the Chandlers on humanitarian grounds.'

The BBC seem less eager to report what The Mail reports:

'Two members of the Somali pirate gang that held Britons Paul and Rachel Chandler hostage for 388 days are believed to have family in the UK.

One of the pirate leaders says he plans to travel to the UK to join his wife and two children, who have claimed political asylum and live in London.'

Read the whole Mail piece and ask yourself whether you think it totally out of the question that at least one of the Chandlers' abductors ends up living in the UK on benefits? Also ask yourself if you are 100% confident that there is no chance that at least one of the Chandlers' abductors manages to sue the UK government for compensation, maybe for loss of earnings? This country is becoming has become a laughing stock for being an easy touch.

The EU in another power grab?

The EU's mania for power and control knows no bounds and if what Devils Kitchen writes is true, the EU is set for a huge power grab. I thought someting was afoot when there were rumblings at PMQs about the EU, Kate Hoey is a reliable barometer of matters EU. So Devils Kitchen's piece with more than a nod to Douglas Carswell is a must read, if not a pleasant one.

Douglas Carswell writes:

'If you read the European Commission document 11807/10 [PDF], however, it doesn’t seem quite so clear cut. Studying it, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the new rules on fiscal oversight are going to apply to all EU Member States, not just members of the Euro.

The paper – subtitled “Tools for stronger EU economic governance” – focuses on how Member States, not just Euro countries, “will act in compliance with the EU framework.” The “new structured mechanism” for vetting each countries budget will be applied to “all Member States”.

In or out of the Euro, the paper suggests Britain may indeed have her budget subject to EU Commission vetting – albeit that the time table for this “semester” process might allow officials to claim that the Commons gets to see it first.

And what if Brussels did not approve of the tax and spend policies of our democratically elected government?

If such rules only apply to Eurozone countries, why does page 5 of the document, under the heading “Corrective Action”, say that “This mechanism would apply to all Member States”. Use of that word “all”, again. If there’s a caveat saying “all” excludes Britain, I couldn’t find it.


...


EU competence is to be extended into member state’s fiscal policy, with the power to make law for "all EU Member States". And it appears to have been kept hidden until today.

Not even the European Scrutiny Committee, I’m told, had sight of a paper by the “Task Force to the European Council” called “Strengthening Economic Governance in the EU” until today.

This hidden paper appears to confirm two things:

a) Despite what we were told in June, UK budgets will now become EU business. They might not be able to impose sanctions on us if they disapprove – yet. But they are involved.

b) According to the document, “The Task Force recommends a deeper macro-economic surveillance with the introduction of a new mechanism underpinned by a new legal framework .... applying to all EU Member States”.

Yep. That’s right. The EU is to legislate in a new area. In a way that could apply to all EU Member States.

And you thought there would be no further transfers of power to Brussels, eh?'

The question of the day is "Have we been had?" and the answer is... YES and I am not a happy blogger.

Answering Andrew Marr

Andrew Marr recently stated, at the Cheltenham Literary Festival, that: "A lot of bloggers seem to be socially inadequate, pimpled, single, slightly seedy, bald, cauliflower-nosed young men sitting in their mother's basements and ranting. They are very angry people."


Let's see how accurate he is:

'socially inadequate' - Not Guilty

'pimpled' - Not for many years

'single' - Happily married

'slightly seedy' - I am not sure how to react to this one, what is 'slightly seedy'? Would Andrew Marr's definition of 'slightly seedy' include .... with a .... not my .... trying to hide .... with a super-....?

'bald' - Well, balding

'cauliflower-nosed' - What is a cauliflower nose? I have heard of boxers having cauliflower ears but never noses. Is this some sort of drugs reference?

'young men' - Middle aged

'sitting in their mother's basements' - Normally in my bedroom, sitting room or office

'ranting' - I try not to rant but maybe expressing views contrary to those of Andrew Marr and his clique is classified by him as ranting?

'They are very angry people.' - Guilty as charged, but there is a lot to be angry about especially the bias shown by the BBC.

'The devalued Prime Minister of a devalued Government'

Daniel Hannan MEP's speech to the EU Parliament, just as a reminder of what a real Cosnervative politician sounds like. If you want your skin to crawl then pause the video at 2:54 to see one of Gordon Brown's trademark sly smirks.

It's odd, I hated Gordon Brown so much and now that he is no longer Prime Minister it isn't satisfying enough. I want Gordon Brown's role in the near destruction of the UK economy exposed, I want him held to account, I want him humiliated and his reputation destroyed; is that unfair of me?

Prattling

To the pregnant woman whose incessant prattling, to her husband & another couple, has just lost me three hours that I will never regain I would like to say the following... You are not the first woman to become pregnant, you will not be the last person to become pregnant and your pregnancy is of little or no interest to 99.9999999% of the world's population. So please get some f***ing perspective and try and see if you can either talk about something else for five minutes or preferably shut the f*** up.

Gordon Brown - softening the image

The BBC report that:

'Former prime minister Gordon Brown has made light of his media skills, as he made his first public appearance since resigning from office.

Speaking at the Adam Smith College in his hometown of Kirkcaldy where he is Chancellor, he joked that he was thinking of enrolling on a course in communications.'

Indeed, maybe he could also enrol on a course in economics, then one in mathematics, then one in anger-management and finally one in 'how to smile like a normal human being not a tw*t'.

Unlike David Cameron I will not be paying tribute to Gordon Brown's years of public service, the man has been a disaster for the UK and I will not be happy whilst he has a single shred of respect from anyone for his skills in running the economy or anything else.

So is Nick Clegg willing to break his word on supporting the party with the biggest mandate?

The news that Gordon Brown is to stand down as Labour leader sets in motion two things: one a Labour leadership election, or on previous form the coronation of someone unsuitable and two the formation of a Labour/LibDem government.

At 16:05 today I posted on Guido Fawkes that: 'I get the horrible feeling that the LibDems will end up propping up a Labour government that has changed leader. If so who wants to stay and who wants to flee the country? The two ‘beaten’ parties form a government; if Labour had come first and Conservatives and LibDems formed the government you know that riots would ensue and the BBC would be casting aspersions about ‘legitimacy’ but this way round there will be no protests.'

The BBC are in seventh heaven, they will gladly sacrifice Gordon Brown for a Labour/Lib Dem government that will continue the mismanagement of the economy and change the electoral system to ensure they are in permanent government.

You have to admire the way that Peter Mandelson, Gordon Brown and the BBC have played the last four or five weeks. As soon as it became clear that Labour could not win the general election they boosted the Lib Dems, then talked up the possibility of a hung parliament and then questioned how the Lib Dems could possibly work with the Conservative party.

So the second and third parties in the general election will stitch together a government and who will protest? I am so sick of this f**king country, it's left-wing commissars and state propaganda broadcasting service - I want out as it's me and other taxpayers in London and the South of England who will end up paying the price of Labour's failure and to support the rest of England and the Scottish and Welsh.

Of course the markets that had been cheering up with the likelihood of a Conservative government (aided formally or informally by the Lib Dems) have now taken fright and the pound has dropped a cent against the US Dollar and almost a cent against the Euro since the announcement.

Ah bless!

I wasn't going to blog again before tonight's leaders' debate but this Guardian article was just too good to leave un-commented upon:

'Peter Mandelson has warned Gordon Brown to "show respect" to his adversaries during tonight's leadership debates amid fears that voters will disapprove of his brusque manner.

Asked if there was a danger that the prime minister would reveal his irritability towards the Tory leader, he said Brown would "do his best" to conceal his frustration.

"He's got to show respect," he said. "It's not that he doesn't think David Cameron is clever – David Cameron is clever – I think the prime minister just finds him sometimes a bit trivial, a bit glib."

"People will mark him down for not showing respect for the people he is debating with."'

Isn't it nice that the Prime Minister's controller has to 'warn' the Prime Minister to act like a normal human being rather than the weirdo that he truly is.

How the UK had this stain on the face of humanity foisted on us as Prime Minister is something that will be written about for years and years. Maybe in 20 or 30 years, when people have some perspective, they will realise that what Tony Blair, Gordon Brow, Peter Mandelson (and the rest of the Labour cabal) did to the UK was truly evil. The trouble is that they will have got away with it, rich and powerful men despite/because of their actions. However hopefully they will rot in hell for all eternity and I hope that the thought of this everlasting torment keeps them awake at night until the day they die.


As you can tell I am not a happy NotaSheep tonight.

Prime minister Gordon Brown said there will be no rise in the basic rate of 20 per cent tax should Labour win the election

I hear that our 'honest as the day is long' Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has said there will be no rise in the basic rate of 20 per cent tax should Labour win the election. So that means one or more of the following:

* Increases in National Insurance which is Income Tax by another name for most people

* Below inflation increases in personal allowances

* The 20% basic rate will stay but a new 30% rate will be introduced at a lower level and in addition to the 40% rate

* Rises in VAT and applied to currently zero rated items

* Rises in fuel duty

* A new annual tax on the capital element of savings (not the interest, the capital)

* A tax on the sale of main properties (currently tax exempt)

* Rises in any other stealth taxes that Gordon Brown can think of


Yes I am so f**king happy that Gordon Brown has said that there will be no increase in the basic rate of Income Tax, that's really convincing and reassuring.

Mind you since this is the same mendacious c**t that promised us a referendum on the EU Constitution & reneged and that promised an end to boom and bust before leading us into the biggest bust for generations; I wouldn't be too reassured.

Hold on a moment isn't he also the same lying t**t that (alongside Tony Blair) in 2005 promised no increase in Income Tax and promptly increased National Insurance. Looks like he's trying the same trick again.

This is definite 'Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me' time - so get angry and get even by ensuring that Gordon Brown, Peter Mandelson and the rest of the Labour leadership have the smug grins wiped off of their faces on 7 May.

Buggered by Brown

Not a nice thought, but then he's not a nice man...

Thanks to Man Widdicombe for the spot.

And a thought from Donal Blaney:

" "Dear Mr Grim Reaper

So far this year, you have taken away my favorite dancer; Michael Jackson, my favorite actor; Patrick Swayze, my favorite actress; Farrah Fawcett, my favorite comedian; Soupy Sales, my favorite pitchman; Billy Mays and my favorite sidekick; Ed McMahon.

Just so you know, my favorite politician is Gordon Brown"."

What have this Labour government got against the British army?

Actually the answer to that is obvious and one that I will return to in the near future. However today I will simply point to two articles. The first relates to the Merlin helicopters that are to be delivered the theatre

"even though it is yet to be decided whether to fit armour-plating for extra protection." In fact "Fitting the Merlin Mark 3 with a layer of armour to protect the crew and troop-passengers from ground fire is not part of the basic modifications. An option has been submitted by the RAF to consider fitting extra armour to the Merlins at a cost exceeding half a million pounds. This would be a separate modification and the request would be sent to the Treasury as an “urgent operational requirement” (UOR), funded from contingency reserves. An RAF source said: “This proposal now has to go through the chains [of command]. But it has not reached maturity.”

RAF sources confirmed that the Merlins would be sent to Afghanistan by December without the extra armour. “But they will be used for the whole range of operations, including flying in combat areas,” one RAF source said. "

What sort of scum would send helicopters into a war zone without adequate protection? Maybe the sort of person that wants to be able to say that he has increased the number of helicopters in Afghanistan. Maybe the sort of person who cares more for money than the lives of servicemen.


The second story concerns the story in The Sun that:

"EIGHT Britons have died in Afghanistan while armoured trucks that might have saved them were stranded 1,000 miles away in Dubai.

The latest in a string of equipment blunders was branded "inexcusable" last night.

The eighth soldier was killed yesterday while on patrol in Babaji, Helmand.

He was in a CVRT - a 30-year-old tracked mini tank that is vulnerable to Taliban roadside bombs.

Meanwhile, a fleet of new mine-proof Ridgback trucks had been sitting on an airfield in the Middle East since July 16.

Nine of the vehicles were shipped to Dubai by sea, destined for Afghanistan.

All but one got no further, because the RAF's four C17 heavy-lift jets have been too overworked to collect them.

Eight Brits died during the three-week delay - among 22 killed in July.

One officer fumed: "It's incredibly frustrating seeing these vehicles gathering dust on a runway when guys are dying in Helmand."

Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth told MPs in April that 157 Ridgbacks - urgently ordered 20 months ago - would start arriving in Afghanistan that month.

Four months later, 20 of the £1.5million 4x4s are there. "

This is a disgrace and Bob Ainsworth should be sacked, not even allowed to resign, but sacked over this betrayal of our servicemen. If the MOD cannot organise to get the right equipment to the servicemen who need them then the man in nominal charge should pay the price.


I am really fed-up with listening to the excuses of labour ministers for the equipment shortages. There are solutions to each of the problems, what there is not is the will to deviate from the agreed path.

Some confusion?

The BBC loyally report that:

"Gordon Brown has insisted Britain has the resources "to do the job" in Afghanistan, amid claims troops serving there are under-equipped.

The prime minister told MPs helicopter numbers had increased 60% since 2006 and UK forces were the best equipped they had been in 40 years. "

Apparently:

"In his statement, Mr Brown said troop levels were kept under review but he had been assured by commanders on the ground, and top level military chiefs, that they had the manpower needed "for the current operations"

Meanwhile it seems that last month, military chiefs were dismayed to learn their requests for 2,000 more troops had been turned down because of a Treasury spending cap. So which is true? Have military chiefs said they have sufficient manpower or have they asked for more? Is this another "Brownie"?

Gordon Brown has wasted billions of our money, not his, by spending (sorry "investing") to make him popular and help to create a Labour voting client state, meanwhile the armed forces doing this Government's bidding are under-resourced and under-manned. The next time Gordon Brown gets up at PMQs and leads with his condolences on the death of yet another British serviceman in Iraq or Afghanistan, a serviceman whose death will likely be at least partly, due to his parsimony, I suggest that someone raise a point of order on just that matter - a person partially responsible for the death of a British serviceman should not be the one to lead the recognition.

Gordon Brown is odious, almost beyond belief. I thought I detested Tony Blair, and I did and still do, but Gordon Brown reaches new levels of vileness almost daily.

What a lovely day, the news is so cheery

I see that the Erith and Thamesmead election of a Labour candidate is bringing to fore the matter of vote-rigging. I note that the BBC have yet to cover this story, although if it was happening in the Conservative party it would be headline news, however the story must become more prominent soon...

The BBC do manage to report the news that

"Lingerie tycoon Michelle Mone has withdrawn her support for Labour in anger at its economic policies.

The Scottish boss of the Ultimo bra empire said the UK Government's recent moves risked alienating business and damaging the economy.

The 37-year-old branded the new 50p top rate of tax "a disgrace".

Leading Scots QC Paul McBride also announced he had abandoned lifelong support for Labour and joined the Conservatives.... Mr McBride said Labour were now "mendacious and incompetent", relying on smears rather than policy."

More of this sort of news will come every week now as people realise how doomed Labour are.


The Times report that:

"TWO Labour peers at the centre of the lords for hire scandal have been found guilty of misconduct by a sleaze inquiry and face suspension from parliament, according to senior House of Lords sources.

Senior peers have concluded that Lord Taylor of Blackburn and Lord Truscott have broken the code of conduct of members of the upper house.

The investigation began after undercover Sunday Times reporters posing as lobbyists found that the two peers were prepared to help to amend legislation in return for cash.

They could now be barred from parliament for up to a year and lose tax-free allowances of up to £335 a day.

A senior Lords source said: “The committee has taken the allegations very seriously and is determined that a message is sent out that this sort of behaviour will not be tolerated.” "

I don't like the "up to a year" phrase and am unsure as to why they should get off so lightly. Their actions make them unworthy to sit n our Upper House and they should have been expelled from it.

Finally The News of the World reports

"GORDON Brown has been warned he will lose the next General Election because of the scandal of MP expenses.

New Labour Party internal polling shows the public are completely SICK of MPs twisting the rules over their allowances to claim tens of thousands of pounds.

...

The internal polling - based on polls and focus groups carried out over the past two weeks - are grim reading.

They show:

* Labour CANNOT win the next General Election.

* Voters think Labour are now SLEAZIER than the Tories.

* Even if Brown fixes the economy, voters still don’t want another Labour government.

One senior Labour insider told the News of the World: “This is an awful toxic mix for us. The research shows we have lost the one advantage we had over the Tories.

“People always thought Labour stood for helping other people, for social justice, while the Tories stood for self interest.

“Now they think we are sleazier than the Tories.”

Amazingly, the polling also revealed the MP expenses scandal was more damaging than the Damian McBride scandal, where Brown’s top advisor was forced to quit after plotting to smear Tories via a website.

Voters were asked for the main reason they no longer supported Labour - the expenses scandal, McBride, the Economy, Afghanistan or Brown’s leadership style.

They told researchers their top problem was expenses, followed by Brown’s leadership, then the economy and McBride. "

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear; I am finding it hard not to jump for joy at the thought of how depressed and angry Gordon Brown must be. The man who has done so much to destroy the UK's economy must be in anguish at all of this bad news and it bloody well serves him right.

"Are you worried yet?"

In November I asked if you were worried yet about the UK having to go to the IMF for money. Today I read that an unnamed "senior Cabinet minister" has told the Daily Telegraph that Britain should not be afraid or ashamed of taking money from the International Monetary Fund (no quotes). Apparently this unnamed "senior Cabinet Minister" is also reported as saying

"that the new fund would not be like the 1970s version and should not be seen as such. He said there would be nothing wrong if America or Britain used the facility.

He said: "Previously a country would only go if they were in a very bad state. It was a bit like going to accident and emergency to get urgent help.

"This new facility will not be like that. It is a bit more like getting wellbeing care or even like going to a spa to recuperate."

A "spa", a f***ing spa; do these people have no shame, no sense of reality, no sense? This Labour government have brought the UK close to bankruptcy and the spinmeisters try and make any call for assistance seem like a short break at Champneys.

It does seem that we are governed by the most dishonest bunch of shysters that have ever governed this country. I am absolutely fed-up with the lies, the deceit, the spin; the way that they would claim that black was white if they felt it would help their cause.

The time has come for the honest, hard-working, tax-paying, majority in this Country to say "NO, NO MORE, WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH! In the words of Oliver Cromwell -

"You have sat for too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!"

The UN and racism

The United Nations has released a new draft declaration for the Durban II "anti-racism" conference. This declaration "Reaffirms the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action (DDPA) as it was adopted at the World Conference against Racism ... in 2001." That earlier declaration says that Palestinians are victims of Israeli racism—with Israel the only U.N. state found guilty of racism. And though today’s draft divides provisions into the negotiable and non-negotiable, it announces that reaffirming Durban I is text which does not "remain to be negotiated."

You can read more about the UN's previous Durban conference and the planning for this one in my articles here, here and here. These reports will inform you that as well as Libya as Chair of the group "a meeting yesterday by the Human Rights Council’s five regional groups also named Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Russia as among the 15 bureau members who will oversee preparatory deliberations for a 2009 gathering".

Libya is a country that is

"a racist regime that gave its highest award in 2002 to convicted French Holocaust-denier Roger Garaudy, brutalizes black African migrants, and tortures Bulgarian and Palestinian medics for the crime of being foreigners."

according to Prof. Gerald Steinberg, executive director of NGO Monitor.

Then there is Iran which under the vehemently anti-semitic President Ahmadinejad is bent on acquiring nuclear weapons while calling for Israel to be wiped off the map. President Ahmadinejad is expected to attempt to use the opportunity to further foment anti-semitism on a global scale. The Organization of the Islamic Conference has already given indications that it will seek to drive through an agenda that would create international rules which would greatly expand concepts of Islamophobia while severely limiting freedom of speech, diminish concern over anti-semitism, and seek to cast Israel as another apartheid South Africa.


The final document of the first NGO conference which led into the government forum declared Zionism was racism and the government declaration found Israel to be the one and only racist state in the world today. That's Israel, the only real democracy in the Middle East where Muslims have the vote, sit in Parliament, have served as Ministers, have freedom to practice their religion etc. etc. Not Saudi Arabia which is a country where you may not bring a Christian (let alone Jewish) Bible, where it is forbidden to practice Christianity (let alone Judaism), where non Muslims are forbidden from accessing areas of the country reserved for Muslims only. Nor any of the other Muslim countries in the Middle East where Jews have been persecuted and expelled over the last century and this one and where you may not enter if you have an Israeli stamp in your passport. This really gets to me, I am a generally calm person but the injustice of this sort of thing really makes my blood boil.
