A Cartoon on Outsourcing & other random bits.

Outsourced Santa: Must have got the idea from Lloyds Tsb bank who outsourced to India. Nice to know that workers in the UK are losing their jobs to keep the banks profits up (well they did take a dent a few years back when the poor dears were fined a hundred million or so by the banking ombudsman for mis selling products- the largest ever UK fine for a bank by the way.)

Having worked for those sharks for some time, I am glad to be free of them and although broke at the moment I have regained some morality back into my life. Oh and if you ever hear anyone from Lloyds saying that outsourcing doesnt cost jobs remind them of the Newcastle call centre that was closed shortly after the India centre was opened....

Ever Seen These Two in the Same Room?

Standing with MacArthur. £1000 says the BBC wont report this as the lead story on the evening news....

South Korean marine corp veterans and protesters shout slogans in front of a statue of U.S. Army General Douglas MacArthur in Inchon, west of Seoul, September 15, 2005. The statue had been erected to commemorate MacArthur's historical Inchon landing operation against North Korea during the 1950-53 Korean War. Hundreds of pro-U.S. protesters and marine corp veterans held a rally to commemorate the 55th anniversary of the Inchon landing operation and protest against anti-U.S. protesters' calls to dismantle the statue.

WHY SADDAM HAS TO BE HUNG.....

Kurdish civilians stand beside scores of coffins that hold the remains of some 500 Iraqi Kurds from the Barzani tribe during a ceremony in Arbil, northern Iraq. The human remains were brought from a mass grave discovered in al-Muthanna province in southern Iraq. Iraqi forces, commanded by former dictator Saddam Hussein are accused of the 1983 massacre of the Kurdish tribe of Mullah Mustafa Barzani, the founding father of Iraqi Kurdistan. Saddam's regime allegedly rounded up around 8,000 men from the tribe in northern Iraq took them into the desert and executed them. (AFP)

At least now that there are forthcoming elections in Iraq the people will get a chance to vote for a government of their choice, and not some sham election like the last one Mr Saddam held when he was dictator.
