Labour Conservative MP John Bercow took the job of Speaker in the House of Commons on the promise that he would be a "reforming Speaker."

The grace-and-favour apartment of Speaker John Bercow has been refurbished at a cost of more than £45,000 to the taxpayer since he took up the post in June. This is more than double the £20,000 which Mr Bercow initially said he was spending to make his official residence suitable for a family with three young children. Documents released under the Freedom of Information Act, obtained by the Daily Telegraph, showed Mr Bercow's wife Sally gave detailed instructions on the revamp of the historic apartment beneath Big Ben in the Palace of Westminster.

So, guess John had his fingers crossed whilst promising reform. Vote em' all out on election day. I knew this guy could not be trusted why my local shit stain of an MP Paul Flynn came out praising Bercow.

Story from some local arse rag paper....For two days North Tyneside couple James Bramwell and Claire Stidolph believed they had scooped one of the £45m winning tickets on the Euromillions lottery...

...James planned to buy a yacht and a house next door to Alan Shearer. Both planned to move all their loved-ones into homes in Ponteland’s exclusive Darras Hall estate....

...But their dreams were cruelly crushed when the couple discovered their Lotto by text message was utterly worthless...

Wait for it the best bit is coming up:
....It means James, 46, must now pay back a £1,000 loan he took out and spent on the misunderstanding he was an overnight millionaire....

Snigger. Chortle, an naturally its all someone else's fault.
“This company need to make the text messages they send out more clear. This has been one of the nastiest mix-ups ever.”

The confusion began when James received a text message on Friday containing the winning numbers from the previous week’s Euromillions, on Friday, October 30. Believing these to be the figures selected for him by the syndicate he subscribes to, called ‘Ringtune Club’, James thought he had scooped the jackpot.

Ha ha.
But yesterday the pair discovered the text message had just been an update on the previous week’s result and they had won nothing. They now claim more explanation in the message would have prevented them from drawing the false conclusion.

They could have double checked themselves, but far easier to blame someone else. I bet Alan Shearer and the residents of Darras Hall are breathing a sigh of relief tonight.......


Found this tale over at Angry people in local newspapers. See also Unenlightened who has a bit on this pair of rocket scientists.

From Not as sheep


BBC scum had a piece tonight about the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and there was Sandi Toksvig to remind us of the present day walls "in Israel and on the USA Mexico border". What no mention of walls built by Saudi Arabia, Iran or Morocco or even Spain? I wonder why not?....


I wonder why no mention of the Balen Report?...

As this shows...

A man accused of beating a DVLA inspector with a broom handle as walked free from court after claiming his alleged victim had exaggarated the incident.

Inspector Hayden Hart had claimed he was attakced my Paul Clarke, 26, as he patrolled Wood Street, Merstham, checking parked cars for out-of-date tax discs.

The inspector said he was clubbed repeatedly by his attacker, who warned him: "If you come near my vehicle again, I'll break your f****** legs."

But Mr Clarke, of Wood Street, Merstham, walked free from the Crown Court at Guildford after winning his appeal against conviction for assault by beating at Redhill Magistrates Court on March 12 this year.

Mr Clarke, 26, of Nailsworth Crescent, Merstham, denied the offence, insisting he had never actually struck Mr Hart during the confrontation on June 12 last year (2007).

An there ya go..

Find a gun, hand it in to the police and end up being charged with possessing a firearm.

Just by having the gun in his possession he was guilty of the charge, and has no defence in law against it

Paul Clarke, 27, was found guilty of possessing a firearm at Guildford Crown Court on Tuesday – after finding the gun and handing it personally to police officers on March 20 this year.

The jury took 20 minutes to make its conviction, and Mr Clarke now faces a minimum of five year's imprisonment for handing in the weapon.

In a statement read out in court, Mr Clarke said: "I didn't think for one moment I would be arrested.
"I thought it was my duty to hand it in and get it off the streets."

Prosecuting, Brian Stalk, explained to the jury that possession of a firearm was a "strict liability" charge – therefore Mr Clarke's allegedly honest intent was irrelevant.

Just by having the gun in his possession he was guilty of the charge, and has no defence in law against it, he added. There you go, its now official your all criminals, your all guilty of something so just hand yourselves in right now.

I see that hardly anyone bothered getting their arses out of the methadone clinics, pulling themselves out of piss stained doorways and putting down their bottles of Buckfast to bother voting.

That a shaven Labour rosette wearing chimp would win was a forgone conclusion. HM Govt would need to run out of money an stop paying giro's for Glasgow to kick out Labour; but and this is the point here for just 32% of the haggis munchers to bother turning up to vote is a fucking disgrace.
That more Iraqi's than folk in Glasgow can be bothered to vote is a sad day for democracy.

All I can say to those who do not vote is this, why did their ancestors go charging up the beaches in France to liberate Europe when they can not be fucked to defend those rights themselves? Yes, our politicians are from No.10 down to the parish council:evil, amoral, grafting, money stealing, expense fiddling scum who in the main deserve nothing more than a short drop from the gallows.

If you don't like them, don't be an apathetic cunt who switches off an cracks open another bag of smack, get the fuck out an vote else they will carry on being vile, amoral, grafting, money stealing, expense fiddling scum who in the main deserve nothing more than a short drop from the gallows sure in the knowledge that no one will remove them from the gravy train.

Still the unwashed piss stained trousered locals who could not give a fuck about democracy can go back to the deep fried mars bars.

Sometimes I really hate my fellow citizens and today is one of them.

The Government plans to ban cigarette vending machines from pubs in England from 1 October 2011.

The ban will cost a huge £709m to the industry, smokers and the Government in lost revenue, according to estimates from the Department of Health.

It came after the Heath Bill, which includes the ban on vending machines, received Royal Assent yesterday.

A consultation on the plan has now been launched, which asks if the regulations will be enforceable and have the desired effect. It ends on 12 January.

The Welsh Assembly, which has the authority over the issue in Wales, has yet to announce its plans.

Although the industry in general objects to the ban on vending machines, a lead-in time of almost two years will be welcomed by pubs that are currently struggling in the recession.

Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers spokeswoman Kate Nicholls said: "It's further nanny state intervention and further evidence that the Government doesn't understand pubs."

But she added: "The one saving grace is that there will be sufficient time to make the changes."

Bill Sharp, licensee of the Kings Arms in Borough, London, was critical of the timing.

"It's New Labour spin. They give it a lead in time and everybody accepts it. If it came in tomorrow there would be an outcry."

A British Beer and Pub Association spokesman said: "A delay in implementation won’t be a comfort to customers or publicans when it finally does happen.

"The ban was unnecessary, and it means that pubs will have to withdraw a service valued by many customers. This is not welcome, given the pressures the industry faces."

Pubs will still be able to sell tobacco products from behind the bar. However, from 2013, displays can't be visible to the public.

Yet more unneeded taxes and regulations from the ruling communists.

.

BBC Pravda faithfully reported by the BBC that

"Gordon Brown has promised to "tighten" the UK's immigration rules by reducing the number of professions which can recruit from outside Europe."

An he misses the problem by a mile. Look highly skilled folk we need, we have always needed them be that a computer chap from India, a doctor from Pakistan or whatever. If they have the skills to come here, pay all our taxes and contribute to this land then all well and good.

The problem is with those who come over claiming to study and do not, or who hang on the side of Eurostar and when here seem to land a job working for The Home Office as security staff or maybe even Baroness Scotland.

Until the feeder table of housing, benefits and perks are turned off that supplies these people with a better lifestyle than they have back home, then the camps in France will remain full.

.

The Eu really is the elephant in the room. Yet again the accounts have not been signed off, as the bean counters realise that they make Enron and other large corrupt organisations look like a charity.

This makes 15 years in a row the EU's own accountants have reckoned there was too many holes in the books to allow them to sign and clear the the accounts.

Lots of people want us to be in Europe, yet no one in the yes camp is willing to take a knife to the endemic corruption, the sleaze, graft and organised waste in the EU.

Were it just not so corrupt it would not be so bad, as it is it reminds me of a modern organised crime outfit without the decent bookkeepers.

Yet the yes camp keep on coming up with every more bizarre arguments as to why the EU is a good thing, when any private company that had not had its accounts signed off for that long would long since have been dealt with by the courts.

Even the Mafia employ book keepers and can create a set of good looking books, yet the EU fails.

Britain is the EU country that receives the least back from the budget per head, maybe we need to bribe the correct people in the EU to ensure we get more back?

Still its not all waste, Wolfgang Porsche the supervisory board chairman of Porsche, received £2,250 in EU rural development funds for a small estate in Bavaria where he goes hunting in his free time. Money well spent I am sure.

Mind you, you won't be seeing much on EU corruption or the accounts not being signed off, at least not on the BBC, as back in 2008 it was reported by The Times that the BBC had received loans from the EU totalling £141 million quid.

Looking forward to year 16 and seeing the accounts being signed off, maybe they will hire a modern day Louis Shumway who will rat out the whole rotten organisation.

Not so much justice as a bizarre comedy skit. A mother has been fined £75 for feeding ducks in a Black Country park with her toddler son.

Vanessa Kelly had taken her 17-month-old son Harry on his weekly visit to feed ducks in Smethwick Hall Park when she was approached by a council warden.

She put away the bread as soon as the warden told her duck feeding was not allowed in the park, in Londonderry Lane.

But the warden then pulled out a hand-held computer and issued her with a fine for littering.

Miss Kelly, who was in the park at 4pm on Tuesday, claims she was then told by the warden that her son could continue to thrown the bread “as he is too young to prosecute”.

She said: “We were both throwing crumbs to the ducks as the warden approached.

“I didn’t think anything of it and certainly didn’t think we were doing anything wrong, which is why I was surprised when she stopped me.
“She explained that it was banned because it could attract vermin, and I said it was fair enough and fastened the bag.

“I couldn’t believe my eyes when she then pulled out a little computer and started to issue a ticket.

“To be fined £75 for taking your child to feed the ducks is an absolute disgrace. I will be fighting this fine all the way.”

Good on her, the worst thing this land ever did was to give the army of paperclip wielders employed by councils the power to impose fines. No notice to say that fines will be issued, it sounds like she has a good case.

Hat tip to Prats in power
So how come a chap can face jail for attacking someone holding his family at knife-point, yet a clearly dangerous child rapist can walk free to terrorise again, just for being forgiven by the victim's family.

As I have said before the days of basic justice or even common sense have gone, these days justice is about doling out fines, the police have been turned into a uniformed branch of the tax system and politicized into carrying out government pc policies.

rend some pork off of the porcine members of the plod.

Another infringement on our freedoms was proposed by the environment agency todaym when they said that there should be restrictions placed on the amount of travelling that they do.

They propose to control public movement by issuing Carbon Accounts to everybody.

People would get a yearly carbon allowance and if they went over that they would have to purchase more credits.

Nice little earner for Labour, as well as a nice way for the state to nose ever further into all your business.

When a person purchased petrol for his car on switched on his central heating he would have to get his Carbon Account book stamped.

Naturally all this will be backed up by lots of state jobsworths, endless paperwork, councils spying on the populace and fines. Made a mistake, forms out of order, well have a fine.

Then we have seen that HM Govt wants to keep a log of all the emails, telephone calls and websites that we visit; as we are all suspect terrorists in their eyes. A Big Brother Database will hold all that for 6 years.

Also Inquests into suspicious deaths can now be held in private, all rather good should the police "have an accident" and shoot you whilst going about your daily routine.

So did anyone else see the irony of McSnotty Brown talking about freedom in Germany on the 20th Anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down, whilst he is removing freedom here at home?....

Remember come polling day that this is a party that thinks you should have a license(and pay ever higher taxes) in order to buy a packet of cigarettes or to go for a beer.

A party who's leader has stated that single mothers should be shipped off to state run gulags.

Led by an unelected leader who it is claimed is taking lots of happy pills:  MAOIs - which stands for Mono Amine Oxidase Inhibitors - which are generally a last line of treatment for major depression, when other anti-depressant drugs have failed.

.

Guido reports on McSnotty cursing Ericsson and I mentioned on how his praise of a football team caused them to lose.

Guido also mentions that McCyclops also put the kiss of death on a local Fife firm, a metals plant, a high-tech healthcare research facility, an academy, Manchester United, Sellafield, boxer Ricky Hatton, the U.S. dollar (two years in a row), Southampton docks, Liverpool radio DJ Phil Easton (fatally), Honda and Velux Windows, Tottenham Hotspur team captain Ledley King, Media Wales, Nissan and KPMG was struck by arson following his visit.

 We should never forget who opened Lehman’s London HQ – dooming them by lauding their greatness and telling the now collapsed investment bank “I would like to pay tribute to the contribution you and your company make to the prosperity of Britain.  During its one hundred and fifty year history, Lehman Brothers has always been an innovator, financing new ideas and inventions before many others even began to realise their potential.“ A century and a half of financial success f****d and cursed globally by Gordon.
His presence is booed by crowds at sporting events with good reason:

When England were knocked out of the 2006 World Cup against Portugal – Jonah was there.When they lost 2-1 at Wembley against Germany – Jonah was there. When Scotland lost to Italy-Jonah was there. When England lost the rugby World Cup final – Jonah was there.

If ever there was such a thing as a living breathing Jonah, then its name is James Gordon Brown.

Preliminary Business
Notice of Presentation of Bill
1 INSTALLATION OF LETTER BOX GUARDS (PROTECTION FROM DOGS)
[No debate]

Ann Coffey

Bill to require householders to fit a letter box guard if they are in possession of a dog; and for connected purposes.

Formal first reading: no debate or decision.
You can bet that the next step will be the councils using RIPA to check on people who have, or might have a dog. Then no matter how small or well trained said canine may be they will issue enforcement notices (as well as lots of fines) on the home owners to fit guards.

I wonder how long (if this becomes law) before the media has a story of the old lady who has an armed response unit of the plod descend on her sheltered housing complex for failure to fit a guard and thus keep Mr Postman's thieving fingers safe from the ravages of her blood thirsty chihuahua who could never get up to the letter box in a million years.

Said chihuahua dying in a hail of bullets after scaring the tooled up members of the plod, much like a certain Brazilian, followed by a statement by the police that they followed the "correct procedures".

Maybe Gordon & Co could set up a doggie ID card scheme, a dog DNA database if you will and push some utter tool of an MP as a "dog Czar"; maybe they could hand that to Kerry McCarthy? Oh and of course they will have to lose all the information on a flash drive at some later date.

Not that this is the first time MP's have had a go at matters dog related, leading to a rather shoddy act based on lurid tales in the tabloid press.

Talking of dogs, Ann Coffey MP also claimed £1,052 in furniture and bedding and £40 a month for a TV package in 2005. So nice to see that with all the infringements of our rights and liberties, the overpaid MP's find trivial matters to fill their tiny minds with.

You can't sell a few eggs without filling in tons of paperwork and keeping countless state funded non jobs in a job:

An expert in microbiology in her 60s was subjected to an interrogation by a Government health official after she tried to sell some eggs at her local village shop.

Susannah Eykyn was visited by a 'hen inspector' who taught her how to clean and weigh an egg and designated her kitchen as a 'packing station'.

The Defra official then donned a protective suit to inspect Mrs Eykyn's chicken house, before leaving her with a large amount of paperwork to fill in.

Mrs Eykyn, a professor in clinical micro-biology, said she was left 'bewildered' at the end of the three-hour interrogation.

She said: 'It does seem to be quite remarkable that for me to sell a few surplus eggs at the village stores I needed to be subjected to this utter nonsense.

Maybe she should barter them, or just tell the state to fuck the fuck off. But even when you follow the rules the New Labour state will fine you just to be petty, bloody minded and vindictive.

A retired headmaster had an £80 parking fine slapped on his car because his disabled parking permit had faded in the sun.

Harold Cadwallader, 87, did not realise that the record of his personal details had bleached on the card he leaves on the dashboard of his car.

He found the ticket on his windscreen when he left his Vauxhall Vectra in a disabled bay while he went to play his weekly game of bridge at a community centre.

This is what 12 years of Soviet style top down rule on the part of the vile Labour filth has given us, a snooper state where in order to do anything you need to follow the states rules.

Whilst all this happens Comrade Gordon allowed in millions of illegals jihadists and others from abroad and bribing them with benefits in order to re-elect Labour scum to the Commons.

Remember come polling day that this is a party that thinks you should have a license(and pay ever higher taxes) in order to buy a packet of cigarettes or to go for a beer.

I see that Old Holborn has some more on how Labour think you are their property.

....The Police can now use to "capture" anyones fingerprints they want. All they have to do is stop you in the street. Mobile fingerprint scanners introduced

Then of course, if you use the word "fucking" in the context of telling a council official, on YOUR property, to mind his own business as in " 'Don't you tell me what I can and can't do in my own ****ing place.' will see you dragged off to the cells at after a dawn raid by Police, fingerprinted, DNA'ed and fined. No. Really

Or if you are redecorating the house whilst pregnant, you will be reported to Social Services by the Police. No,Really

Or if you work for a power station, you are being asked by the Government to spy on the private lives of your coworkers, just in case they might be terrorists. No, really

Or every fucking phone call, email and website visited by me being hoovered up by the State "for my protection" (funny how Gordon squawked about privacy regading his phone call to a grieving Mum yesterday eh?). No, really

Or the fact that schools will now be logging every minutae of your childs behaviour under State guidlines. No,really

Unelected nose picking PM James Gordon Brown has been adopted by the International Science Community as the new System of Units(SI) as the standard cunt for scientific purposes.

The Cunt, which the measure of absolute intolerability, was recalibrated by the French Academe de Sciences after the previous standard cunt, former Home Sec. and grumble film claimer Jacqui Smith degraded slightly over time to 0.9992 of a cunt.

Gordon will take up his position as the new international standard cunt on Dec. 1st, when he will be deposited  in the National Archives in Paris for reference, alongside such global standards as the meter, the gramme and the ampere.

Gordon will be kept in an atmospherically controlled glass cabinet bearing a brass plaque reading LE CONN which is French for cunt.

A spokesperson for the National Archives in Paris said "Gordon is an absolute natural, he does not even need to work at being a total cunt. Just look at how he has ruined the UK as both Chancellor and as PM."

He added "The fact that Gordon is locked away is better for everyone, except for citizens of Paris that is. ". Then adding that "But as he is no longer on the world stage it is something France is happy to help her friends in the UK and the rest of the World with."

A Downing Street spokesman said "I can't think of a better yardstick for the cunt measure than Gordon, the man is a 100% cunt, a cunt through and through. An utter cunt and we when he is gone we will save the taxpayers a fortune in Nokia phones that the cunt throws across the office whenever he hears bad news about himself."
A hat tip to this month's Viz for the idea.

According to the slithery Jack "I can't be bothered to answer comments left on my blog" Straw.

Knife killers will spend at least a quarter of a century in prison, Jack Straw announced today.

The Justice Secretary said the minimum term for murders committed with a blade will go up by a decade from 15 to 25 years.

A review was ordered amid outrage over the sentences handed to the killers of 16-year-old Ben Kinsella.

Blah blah blah, yeah whatever Jack an the moon is made of the finest cheese. When one takes into consideration that your government lets off rapists with a caution why should we believe they will treat murder any different.

If you want to see New Labour justice in action then look at this.

Tough on crime my arse. FOAD Jack Straw you utter lying cunt.
