Denis MacShane - Talking wank.


Men using brothels and massage parlours should be made to give DNA samples in an effort to reduce the number of prostitute murders, an MP has said.

Ex-Labour minister Denis MacShane told the House of Commons that such tests would also be "a way of getting men to face up to their responsibilities".

The suggestion comes a week after Steve Wright was convicted of the murder of five prostitutes in Ipswich.

The government is carrying out a review of the laws surrounding the sex trade.

**Now I may be missing the point here but don't men visiting such establishments tend to leave DNA deposits behind them anyway? Maybe they could rope in the sex workers to collect the samples, after all everyone else seems to be on the government pay roll these days....

Colin Burgon - Usefull idiot for the communists.


Sometimes you have to look at our MP's and weep at their actions. One would assume that someone elected to the post of MP would have at least some common sense, sadly in the case of Colin Burgon(and others listed below) this is not the case.

He released the following EDM(Early Day Motion) in the House of Commons, praising the mass murderer Fidel Castro the skies.

Can I refer the right Hon. gentleman to the following:

A little article that show that Cuba is nothing more than a soviet style gulag with palm trees: Link:http://www.newstatesman.com/200711080021
Plus: http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=6917

A jailed Cuban journalist whose health is rapidly deteriorating in the face of prison-contracted diseases has been chosen as one of four writers to mark the Day of the Imprisoned Writer on 15 November. The special day, held on the same date each year, is organised by PEN, the writers' organisation that backs persecuted authors around the world.

Normando Hernández González was imprisoned in 2003 for reports and broadcasts on the internet and Radio Martí that were said by the government to endanger security. Hernández was found guilty of spying and threatening national security, crimes that carry a 25-year jail term. He was one of 75 journalists arrested in the Cuban government crackdown on the press in 2003 and, according to PEN, remains one of 59 still held by the regime.

He was thrown a glimmer of hope a few months ago when the government of Costa Rica effectively granted him asylum in absentia, launching a plea for his release after reports of a downward turn in his condition.

The move came about after Hernández's mother, Bianca González, appealed to Costa Rican legislators to intervene.

José Manuel Echandi, a former Defender of the Citizens in Costa Rica, answered the call and accused Cuba of torture in blocking the journalist's release.

The Cuban journalist's illness has been partly brought about by a hunger strike he began six months ago, but he has also contracted tuberculosis in prison. Hernández has spent most of the past 12 months in a maximum security prison, but was recently moved to a hospital for treatment.

At Echandi's request, Costa Rica asked Cuba to free Hernández and allow him to be transferred across the Caribbean Sea for health care attention in that country. When they received no response, Echandi wrote to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Louise Arbour, to seek help to speed his release.

Press freedom watchdog Reporters Without Borders is also backing the request that Hernández should be transported to Costa Rica.

"Humanitarian concerns are clearly paramount as regards all prisoners of conscience," the organisation said.

Cuba has more journalists locked up than any other country in the world, apart from China. Those still held since March 2003 are serving sentences ranging from 14 to 27 years.

According to Reporters Without Borders, three journalists held in Cuba were arrested after Fidel Castro's brother Raú took over the running of the country last year.

Now for Mr Burgon's EDM:

EDM 982
FIDEL CASTRO
20.02.2008

Burgon, Colin
That this House commends the achievements of Fidel Castro in securing first-class free healthcare and education provision for the people of Cuba despite the 44 year illegal US embargo of the Cuban economy; notes the great strides Cuba has taken during this period in many fields such as biotechnology and sport in both of which Cuba is a world leader; acknowledges the esteem in which Castro is held by the people and leaders of Africa, Asia and Latin America for leading the calls for emancipation of the world's poorest people from slavery, hunger and the denial of human rights such as the right to life, the right to shelter, the right to healthcare and basic medicines and the right to education; welcomes the EU statement that constructive engagement with Cuba at this time is the most responsible course of action; and calls upon the Government to respect Cuba's right to self-determination and resist the aggressive forces within the US Administration who are openly planning their own illegal transition in Cuba.

As Devils Kitchen stated each every person who signed this is a cunt.

Shame on him and all the piss poor politicians who through their actions allow the communist dictatorship in Cuba to torture, kill and oppress the rights of free expression of Cuban nationals.

Shame especially on Paul Flynn a man who bangs on much about human rights, yet avoids issues on Cuba/Palestine poor record re the human rights question. Come on Mr Flynn any chance you will comment on Cuba's human rights record(or lack of) or is it all socialists/communists together....

Any chance that Mr Flynn or Colin Burgon or any of the other fools who signed this EDM would express some support for
Normando Hernández González, or do we see their true colours as communists happy to run torture chambers in Cuba.

**Update I asked Mr Flynn on his website about
Normando Hernández González and posted this:

This is the first I have heard about this imprisoned journalist. I'll make inquiries.
If the information quoted is true, of course I would support the journalist and I have backed persecuted journalists in other countries.

**It will be interesting to see if he will, or if he will be pushing the Labour party to make some form of protest against the communist dictatorship in Cuba. Of course a quick search of the internet and human rights finds many more cases of oppression in the sunny isles of Cuba, it just depends if left wing MP's wish to take off the rose tinted glasses with regards their view of Fidel and his abhorrent dictatorship.

New Labour - looking after fellow socialists pensions...

Council Spending Uncovered 3: Pension Contributions

Download the full report (PDF).

Andrew Allum, Chairman of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said:

“It’s unacceptable that ordinary families and pensioners who struggle to pay inflated council tax bills see so much of their money spent on gold-plated council pensions that have all but disappeared in the wider economy. With pension costs jumping 13 per cent in one year, the problem is clearly getting worse and requires urgent attention. Councils should start correcting their own behaviour immediately, and the Government must face down union pressure and reform the outdated local government pensions scheme as soon as possible.”

**Nothing needs to be added, get on ya knees and swallow some New Labour cock and ya pension is gold plated semen, have some morals and the cunts will let you starve to death.

Post office closures: New Labour lies & spin


Another fine example of the self serving hypocritical bastards of New Labour who rule us:

Telegraph:
Ministers have been accused of "rank hypocrisy" after it emerged that a third of Gordon Brown's Cabinet are campaigning against Government plans to axe post offices in their own constituencies. The Government said the proposals to close 2,500 branches in Britain were necessary to preserve the Post Office network's £150 million-a-year subsidy, and cut its estimated losses of £4 million a week. However, the move has caused widespread public opposition and The Daily Telegraph can disclose that seven Cabinet members oppose the plans in their constituencies. Some have organised petitions to spare their post offices from closure. The group includes some of Mr Brown's most senior colleagues - Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary; Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary; and Geoff Hoon, the Chief Whip. Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary; Tessa Jowell, the Olympics minister; John Denham, the Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills, and Paul Murphy, the Welsh Secretary, are also campaigning, or have campaigned, to save their local post offices. Three of the seven - Miss Smith, Mr Straw and Miss Jowell - were members of the Cabinet when the plans were approved last May.
Details of closures in the constituencies of Mr Brown and the ministers in charge of the programme - John Hutton, the Business Secretary, and Pat McFadden, the postal affairs minister - are still under wraps.

Jacqui Smith boasts on her website how she organised a petition signed by 1,000 local people against the closure of two post offices in Batchley and Abbeydale in her West Midlands constituency of Redditch three years ago.

Well thats jolly fucking decent of her, nice to see that she on the one hand supports cuts in post offices then puts her herself out as the socialist flag waver out to stop government cuts in her area. Although the website does not say if she went for a kebab afterwards?

In a press release, entitled "The Fight for local Post Offices", she says: "I hope that the Post Office stop the closure of these branches. The communities need the facilities to be improved and supported, not shut."

The two branches were closed in 2005. However, her spokesman said that she still felt that it was "appropriate for her as MP for Redditch to make representations on behalf of her constituents" over post office closures.

So in short they were closed anyway and the whole thing was a done deal, with some fine spin and lies on the part of Jacqui Smith.

Best comment go's to a spokesman for John Denham, who said the minister "supports the Government's policy but on a local level he takes [plans for post office closures] on a case-by-case basis as it affects his constituents".

There you go, New Labour socialism in action.

David Blunkett & Entrust: ID cards the story continues.


Former Home Sec. David Blunkett, who resigned over the nanny scandal and since leaving the cabinet has become a scribbler for the tabloid The Sun, forgets to mention all the facts.

He waves the flag for the ID cards, the cost of this particular white elephant is rising faster than the fag packet maths used to work out the Olympic bid for London.

Claiming that there was no way the cards could be copied - they said that about chip & pin and the banks were wrong on that one as well - and it would help reduce crime.

This from the man who gave us the community support officers!

Still he forgot to mention he has since last March been chairman of the international advisory committee of Entrust Inc, the Texas based security company which hopes to provide software for the UK ID cards system.

Why so quiet about that one?

All in all the UK public would have been better off had his guide dog Sadie been made Home Sec, instead of him.

From Private Eye - Letter about Paul Flynn


Saw this letter in the Private Eye magazine No.1204. So good I had to type it and post it.

Sir, Is the Paul Flyn, MP for Newport, who so fulsomely congratulated Peter Hain on his "eighth successive year of distinguished service as Sec. of State for Wales" the same Paul Flynn, MP for Newport, who in his 1999 book, Dragons led by poodles, described him as having "been compared with Odo, Star Trek's shape-shifter who liquefies at the end of each day and sleeps in a bucket then later emerges in any shape he wishes"? Apparently Hain had "the capacity of being on all sides - simultaneously". Somewhat mysteriously Flynn referred to him at that time as having succeeded to the Welsh Office "without a shudder of guilt". Not how he left it, eh!

The letter was by someone called John Newsinger, well said sir!

Oh it might be time to mention that Paul Flynn like former -accused bank robber Hain - is also someone to which the truth is something he has only a passing relationship with. Having been found wanting in a libel case:

Handy link to Flynn's apology to Endowment Justice

Still what with the election due in the next few years, Mr Flynn fears the party may deselect him, so he plays the party line to the hilt, as I said before:

Still Mr Flynn is nothing more than a New Labour rent-boy who is desperate to spread his cheeks for the party to avoid deselection come the next election. Should he cause any trouble and stop waving the flag for the contemptable little shit Hain he faces being replaced by someone off an all women shortlist aka Jessica Morden our other Newport MP- who is Mr Hain's PPS by the way....

Freedom of information - Not under New Labour.

The government is not too keen on the idea of their secret meetings being made public, even if they are as their job title states - public servants - that is paid by and supposed to work for the public.

Cabinet minutes should be "absolutely protected" from Freedom of Information requests, the government's former security co-ordinator has told the BBC.

Sir Richard Mottram said releasing them would not be good for government debate as people would be more cautious about what was being written down.

It follows a ruling by the information commissioner that minutes relating to the Iraq War should be released.

**Still what can one expect from the worthless socialist, lying, double dealing shower of shits that rule over us.

New Labour fuck up 2: Muslim extremist is allowed to tour Britain to 'promote violence' - Pig Ibrahim Moussawi allowed into UK.


Now I am sure the Jacqui Smith said that this was "anti-Islamic activity" - strange how all this activity is aimed at killing kufir - unbelievers - in the UK.

The Home Secretary came under fire last night for allowing a radical Lebanese propagandist with links to the extremist group Hezbollah to enter Britain for a national speaking tour.

The Conservatives urged Jacqui Smith to ban Ibrahim Moussawi from the UK, warning that he was "likely to foment extremism or promote violence".

Mr Moussawi edits Hezbollah's newspaper and is former political editor of the Iranian-backed group's television station, which is banned in many countries including France, Spain and the U.S. where its output is seen as anti-Semitic.

He was recently barred from entering Ireland, where he was due to speak at anti-war meetings.

He is scheduled to appear at an event in London tonight organised by the Stop the War Coalition, with more events planned around the country over the coming week.

Shadow Security Minister Baroness Neville-Jones attacked the Government's record of allowing radical extremists into the UK, after ministers previously ignored calls to deny Mr Moussawi entry to the UK.

She said: "The Government has the power to deny entry to people whose presence is not conducive to the public good.

"Yet in the past they have let in extremists to preach hate.

"Jacqui Smith failed to stop Ibrahim Moussawi from coming last December, despite my specific request that she do so.

"Regardless of what Moussawi actually says when he is here, it is vital that the Government always makes the security of the UK its top priority.

"That means stopping those who are likely to foment extremism or promote violence from coming here to speak. Ibrahim Moussawi should not be allowed to return to the UK."

Only New Labour would be stupid enough to allow the enemies of the UK to come to this nation on a tour that calls on moslems to oppose the very nation they live in.

Another fine day in the multicultural mess that is New Labour's "Cool Britannia"

Maybe our Home Sec. Jacqui Smith was to busy going for a kebab to bother barring this shit from our shores?...

New Labour fuck up 1: Home Office disc found inside laptop bought on eBay


Not content with losing our data the fuckers are now flogging it on E-Bay!

One for the "you could not make it up file!"...

A confidential Home Office disc has been discovered inside a laptop which was bought on internet auction site eBay, it was revealed last night.

Police are investigating the find, which came after the laptop was taken in for service.

The find causes yet more embarrassment to the Government after a string of data security lapses.

Staff at Leapfrog Computers, in Westhoughton, near Bolton, were stunned when they found the disc hidden inside the laptop.


A Home Office spokeswoman stressed that the disc was encrypted so members of the public could not access its contents.

Lee Bevan, managing director of Leapfrog, told Sky News: "We put the disc in the drive to see what it was but it was encrypted.

"The actual disc was hidden inside the computer itself.

"They seized everything really - that has been taken away. Me and some of my staff were interviewed.

"Luckily it has ended up in the right hands."

A Home Office spokesman said: "We understand that encrypted IT equipment has been handed to Greater Manchester Police.

**The fact the data was encrypted is not the point, it just shows how poorly run the Home Office is run under New Labour.

DNA Database fun.


Not so long ago after the arrest of some criminal for murder we had the usual police call for everyone to be put on the DNA database.

However it might be a better option for the police to ensure that they current data that they have is up to date and correct before adding the rest of the UK population to it...

Thousands of DNA samples taken from criminals have been filed under the names of innocent people, it was revealed yesterday.

There are 550,000 false, misspelt or incorrect names on the Government's vast DNA database, which contains more than 4million samples.

That means one in every eight records is thought to be inaccurate.

The news comes as two Britons who were cleared of crimes have launched a landmark human rights challenge to have their DNA samples destroyed.

Michael Marper, 45, and a teenager identified only as "S" are seeking a ruling in Strasbourg that keeping their DNA profiles and fingerprints on record is a breach of their human rights.

But it gets better. Not only have they got false data in the database, but should the wrong person get arrested they would have to provide some dna - which would be added to the database - in order to prove their innocence.

Most alarming is the revelation that many criminals are using other people's names if they are caught.

Home Office Minister Meg Hillier gave the example of somebody who was arrested, and gave their sister's name.

"That data would be on the database," she told MPs.

Politicians are worried that people could be charged with crimes they have not committed if DNA belonging to a criminal who gave their name later turned up at a crime scene.

It was stressed that innocent people could provide an authentic sample of their own DNA to prove it did not match.

However, they would still be forced to undergo the stress and humiliation of a criminal investigation.

The Shadow Home Secretary, David Davis, said: "This latest revelation reinforces our calls for a Parliamentary debate on the DNA database.

"Only this Home Office would have a DNA database that targets the innocent but not the guilty."

Miss Hillier said the Home Office was working to remove the errors from the database, and that progress had been made over the last few months.

So much for the old concept of innocent until proven guilty.

As for Miss Hillier's comment on the Home Office, that would be the same Home Office that can not track the illegals they have in the country, loses data and is in the media each week with yet another cock up.

Tree hugging terrorists on Commons roof.


Lots of unwashed smelly eco-filth on the roof of the House of Commons, it would appear that they feel that legal protest is not the proper way for the left and its allies to act and so in order to give their anti Heathrow runway cause a boost they launch a rooftop protest.

Simple fact is this, if Heathrow does not get expanded then the extra flights will go to say Charles de Gaulle(France) and more people will join the ranks of the unemployed as a result.

A few questions need to be asked on how the unwashed ranks of Gaia lovers got to the roof. They would have needed a passholder to let them in, as the lift to the roof needs badge access. Quite how they got the large banners in through security is also another question I look forward to seeing answered.

Unelected PM Gordon Brown said during prime minister's questions that decisions must be made "in the chamber of this House and not on the roof of this House".

Agreed so lets just hope that we can get some decent marksmen from the Met to cap the fuckers asap.

Matthew Knowles, spokesman for the Society of British Aerospace Companies, said: "These stunts are becoming tiresome and do nothing more than peddle inaccurate propaganda."

It is seen as a fundamental part of British democracy that people should be able to go there to lobby their MP.

**Update - sadly the uwashed eco-filth have given up as they need to be back at the Jobcentre to sign on later today.

Also mummy texted one of them to let them know that they would be in trouble when daddy gets home!

Iraqi Employees - New Labour does nothing...


Hat tip to prodicus

Iraqi Employees: fine words, shabby deeds

Do you like reading fine words? Here is the Prime Minister on the subject of Iraqi ex-employees of the British Government, speaking in the House of Commons on October 9th, 2007:

'I would also like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the work of our civilian and locally employed staff in Iraq, many of whom have worked in extremely difficult circumstances, exposing themselves and their families to danger. I am pleased therefore to announce today a new policy which more fully recognises the contribution made by our local Iraqi staff, who work for our armed forces and civilian missions in what we know are uniquely difficult circumstances.'

Fine words. What about deeds?

A small number of Iraqis - fewer than a dozen, according to people close to the operation who are in contact with me- were removed from Iraq in the early autumn of 2007. Since the Prime Minister's admirable declaration of October, how many Iraqi ex-employees have been evacuated from Iraq? According to all the Iraqis that I am in contact with: none.

Here are the words of an Iraqi employee in Iraq, emailing me, today: 'I am still in Iraq...I hear nothing from your Governmet yet!'

Here is what this man was told on February 3 by a conscientious British Civil Servant, out in Iraq to arrange the evacuation of Iraqi ex-employees and clearly shocked by the lack of progress: ''I'm sorry that everything is taking so long to complete. Please note that we are waiting to hear what happens next from London and I can assure you all that I will personally contact you as soon as I receive instructions from London to confirm the next arrangements.'

Here is why he is hiding: 'They (the militia) keep asking my relatives and my family's neighbors about me and they keep moving in my family's street and keep their eyes on our home... they told them: anyone know anything about A__ he should tell us immediately and also they said: we will never give up until we catch A__ .'

And here is what the Right Honourable Bob Ainsworth, Minister of State for Defence, wrote to David Lidington, MP, about this same man on 16th January: 'Mr Hardie expresses concern over the handling of a claim for assistance by a former employee of British Forces, Mr A_ ... Mr A_ is eligible for the assistance scheme, and we have passed his details on to the Border and Immigration Agency who will take forward his request for resettlement in the UK via the Gateway programme. Assuming that there are no problems with Mr A__'s immigration checks he should be able to leave Iraq by the end of January...'

I added the emphasis, and I can also say that I have it in writing from the MoD that there were no problems with Mr A__'s immigration checks.

The Border and Immigration Agency is the Home Office Agency handling the last phase of the operation to resettle Iraqi ex-employees. And it is the BIA, according to every source of information that I have, that is delaying the evacuation of the Iraqis.

It is also supposed to be the Home Office that is co-ordinating the provision of housing to those Iraqis who do get resettled in the UK. In the House of Lords last month there was a debate on Iraq at the request of Lord Fowler, whom I had briefed on Iraqi ex-employees. Lord Chidgey, later backed by the Earl of Sandwich, asked a very pertinent question of the Foreign Office Minister Lord Malloch Brown, and he did not get a good answer: '...on the resettlement of Iraqis at risk under the Gateway Protection Programme, the Minister will be aware that its success is dependent on a sufficient number of local authorities participating. There is considerable concern that this is not the case at present. Will he advise what steps the Government are taking to ensure that local authorities will come forward?'

There are many operational and logistical difficulties in the way of an operation: I know that. But the Government has known about these people for at least six months, and has been publicly committed to helping them for over four months. That is enough time to plan for the difficulties- far more time than you usually get in a war.

The Home Office is dawdling while people are threatened with death.This is either incompetence in the face of a crisis, or it is a deliberate policy of putting bureaucratic obstacles in the face of fugitives. Neither is acceptable.

And beyond that, the policy itself is being used to keep out Iraqis who can prove that they worked for British forces, and who can prove that their lives are at risk as a result. One man, Hamed, worked for British forces on Shaibah Logistics Base for over two years, as the Government accepts. He was threatened by the militias, and gunmen went to his house, so he moved his family to Syria and slept on the base's floor.

He continued to work for the British. Hamed finally was given 'notice to quit' Shaibah when the base closed, and fled to Syria, where he cannot legally work and where he and his family are safe (so far) but hungry.

The British Government knows who Hamed is. A British Army NCO who knew him has confirmed every detail of his story to me, saying that he knew that Hamed had reported the threats against him to the military authorities. The Government has written to Hamed to reject any claim for help, since he was 'not directly employed' by the military.

Another man, Waleed, was directly employed by the military, in 2005 and 2006. He worked as an interpreter for one Army unit for its six month tour, during which time he was fired upon and chased by militiamen as he made his way to the base; he started work for a second unit, after which he received a threat on his mobile phone detailing where he lived, what he did, and what would happen to him if he 'collaborated' any more. He was also hunted in Iraq, and has also fled to Syria. A British Government letter, which I have seen, informed him that he would not be assisted since he had not worked for the twelve-month period specified by the Government's policy- which, alas, the militias do not seem to respect.

We got the Government to admit to its moral responsibilities. Now we have to get them to match their deeds to their words.

Please write a letter to your MP. His or her address is The House of Commons, Westminster, London, SW1A 0AA.

If you don't know who your constituency MP is, go here and type your postcode in. When you've sent a letter, follow it up with an email: his or her address will normally be SURNAMEINITIAL@parliament.uk - for example BROWNG@parliament.uk

Two or three days after you have written the letter, call the Parliamentary switchboard on 0207 219 3000 and ask for your MP's office. Repeat your concerns to the secretary or research assistant you speak to (and be nice: most of these people work damn hard for little reward), check that your letter has been received, and politely request that the MP ask questions of Ministers and reply to you.

In your email, your letter, and your phone calls, you must be courteous: insulting an MP or a research assistant will discredit this cause.

Talking points for the letter are below:

The Prime Minister announced a review of British policy towards its Iraqi ex-employees, due to the threats of murder they faced, on August 8th 2007, and he announced a change in that policy on October 9th, 2007. The Foreign Secretary made a more detailed policy statement on October 30th, 2007.

Nearly four months later no Iraqis who have applied under the scheme have been evacuated from Iraq.

Not one Iraqi ex-employee living as an illegal immigrant in Syria or Jordan has been resettled under the scheme.

A debate in the House of Lords on 24 January 2008 contained several references to resettlement being blocked by the failure of the Home Office to provide housing in the UK. The Home Office has had between four and six months to plan for this eventuality: it is inexcusable that they have not done so.

Would the MP please put down written Questions to the Home Secretary asking why the Home Office is unable to live up to the Prime Minister's publicy expressed commitment to rehouse Iraqi ex-employees whose lives are at risk for having worked for British forces?

Would the MP please write in private to the Home Secretary, and to the Immigration Minister, Liam Byrne MP, asking what provision their department has made to implement a policy decided in early October, and further asking them if they are aware that lives are at risk and that rapid action needs to be taken?

Would the MP also please write to the Foreign Secretary and the Defence Secretary asking how many Iraqis who are ex-Employees of their departments have been resettled, and asking why Iraqis who are at risk for having worked for British forces are being abandoned for having 'worked for less than 12 months'?

Can the MP please forward these letters to the Prime Minister, who personally approved the change in policy.

And finally, can the MP please reply to you with details of any Government response.

If you want: you can give your MP my name and email address (danhardie.blog@gmail.com ) and tell them that I am in contact with a number of Iraqi ex-employees inside and outside Iraq, none of whom have received help from the Government, and that I would be happy to brief them with confidential details of these cases, either by telephone, email or in person at their Parliamentary offices. They should feel free to contact me.

When you get a reply to your letter, email me (again, at danhardie.blog@gmail.com ) - it's very important that I know which MPs are sympathetic and what the Government is telling them. And email me if you have anything else that needs saying.

Thank you.

**I would just like to add that neither of my local Newport MP's - despite both claiming to be against the war & who talk much of helping people in dire need - has made any comment on this issue what so ever.

Despite Mr Paul Flynn(lab) who cost the nation £140,014 in expenses for the year 2006/07 on top of his salary from the state and who runs a daily weblog.

No comment either from Jessica Morden(Lab) who cost the nation £133,592 in expenses for the year 2006/07.

Mr Flynn who can raise EDM's - a major hobby of his looking at the number of them - on such vital issues as Foxhunting and possible tsunami in the Severn river can say nothing on the plight of Iraqi workers let down by his boss Gordon Brown.

McDonalds free toys with happy meals to be banned in Liverpool


Lib Dem's show how much they value peoples freedom to choose, the right to live without petty over regulation of their lives and just how "liberal" they really are.

Liverpool council has something called a "Childhood Obesity Scrutiny Group", sounds like something right out of George Orwell's 1984 and so they want to ban "happy meals", read this and weep for our freedoms:

Lib Dem councillor Paul Twigger said: "The Scrutiny Group is recommending that a bye-law be enforced to stop the circulation of free toys associated with junk food promotions.

"We consider it is high time that cash-hungry vultures like McDonald's are challenged over their marketing policies which are directly aimed at promoting unhealthy eating among children.

"Childhood obesity is a dire threat to the health in this country and it needs to be nipped in the bud urgently.

"Children are directly targeted with junk food and McDonald's use the Happy Meals to exploit Pester Power of children against which many parents give in.

"In most Happy Meals the toy is sold with a burgers containing four or five tablespoons of sugar, along with high-calorie fries and milkshakes.

"These fattening meals are being shamelessly promoted through free toys and it is clear that it is going to take legislation to combat the practice.

Today the happy meal, tomorrow what ever else the Lib Dems and their socialist allies on the Labour Party want to ban.

Cllr Twigger said: "They know that most children won't want carrots and water but put them on the menu to stave off the criticism from health campaigners."

Toys that have been dished out include the board game Twister, Top Trump cards and football-related collectables.

"By offering these toys they are preying on the needs and desires of children in order to cash-in on the sale of junk food," said Cllr Twigger, 26.

Healthy eating campaigners are backing Liverpool council's move.

Food Commission spokesman Ian Tokelove said: "McDonald's are very skilled at getting children into their restaurants and know how to tug on the purse strings of parents.

"But a lot of the food on the Happy Meal menu can put children health at risk if eaten too regularly."

**Now I have to disagree with these folk, McDonalds are doing what businesses do thats called the free market. Sure argue the point that they sell crap and I agree - Having not eaten in one of their food outlets for years - but to run through a ban is needless and petty.

All that will happen is people will still be taking the kids in to get the happy meal, but the kids will then be throwing a strop when it can't get the toy with the junk food.

Cllr Twigg believes the new move in Liverpool could begin locally and lead to a similar nationwide ban.

I am sure that he does, another petty councilor flexing his legal powers and lording it over the common working man. True Lib Dem/New Labour socialism in action.

The main point is they tried to educate and after that did not work - people still use McDonalds - so they now resort to the ban.

The Loony Left: New Labour let criminals out to fly.


A passenger in a light aircraft which crash-landed in a garden in Kent was a prisoner on day release from jail.

The prisoner, believed to be serving a sentence locally for importing drugs, suffered minor injuries when the Cessna 172 crashed in Lyminge on Saturday.

The pilot, Sid Clark, said he assumed the prisoner was out "legitimately".

A statement from the Ministry of Justice said the prisoner had been returned to "closed conditions" while an investigation was being carried out.

The aircraft had set off from Rochester Airport. Both men were taken to the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford for treatment after the crash.

The prisoner, who was within the last two years of completing an eight-year sentence, was then taken to Maidstone prison.

Mr Clark, from Maidstone, who also received minor injuries in the crash, told BBC Radio Kent the flight was logged with air traffic control at Rochester as a one-hour trip.

Eileen Watling, the owner of the house where the plane landed, said: "We've had a very lucky escape."

She said if the aircraft had not hit the tree, it would have landed on top of her home.

The two injured men walked through the trees and into her conservatory after the crash landing, she added.

"One had cut his head and was bleeding profusely, and he'd got a bruised eye.

"The other one was just shocked, but he was covered in aviation fuel."

She said the pair were released from hospital that evening, "so they were lucky".

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch has been informed - it is not yet known why the aircraft came down.

Kent Police have searched the crash scene but found nothing suspicious.

Now I hate to be suspicious here but why would a drug dealer be needing flying lessons unless its to avoid HM Customs officials when he flies in his next consignment of the finest Columbian marching powder.

So let me just check that I got the basic facts right here. We have a New Labour government that keeps up the old chant of "Tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime", who let a convicted drugs dealers walking out of prison to take to the skies.

Whilst kebab hunter Home Sec. Jacqui Smith and the Ministry of Justice make claims that criminals have never had it so tough and the streets are safer than ever.

Truly the lunatics run the asylum...

Fidel leaves power - Terry mourns(crossposted from Terry Watch)







I quote the rotund ones own words:
Latin America is fighting back against the American gangsters thanks in no small measure to El Commandante Fidel, a great man. Link: Councillor Terry Kelly loves Fidel
Since Fidel handed over power a few days back, Scotland's favorite socialist has been rather quiet on the subject.

Hat tip to Conservative Mind for the picture of the two moderate socialists!

Speaker Michael Martin - Another greedy hog in the commons herd...


The Times has published details of how much the Speaker of the House of Commons costs us:

The Speaker’s bill
£137,000 Salary; he also gets a grace-and-favour apartment
£17,346 Expenses he claimed for a second home last year
£7,595 Expenses he claimed last year for running costs for using his Scottish home as an office, a practice from which MPs are discouraged
£50,000 Amount of public money he spent on air travel for his wife, Mary. She also spent more than £4,000 on taxis
£21,500 Amount of public money spent on legal challenges by Mr Martin’s office to newspapers, including The Times
£3,000 Value of Air Miles used by Mr Martin to fund flights between Scotland and London for his family. Guidelines stipulate that Air Miles should be used to reduce the cost of travel paid for by the taxpayer
£15,201 He also claimed £3,138 in car allowances, £10,587 in flights and £1,476 on stationery and postage
Will he resign? Well of course not.

Some years ago there was the famous phrase that New Labour "Did not do God", well both New Labour and politicians in general do not do many other things. They don't do guilt(even when caught), they don't do shame, they don't do honesty and mostly they do not ever fucking do the right thing and resign when caught out like fat cuntbubble Michael Martin.

Another day and another New Labour sleaze story.

Harriet Harman - A statement that says it all.






Harriet Harman has been answering questions in today's Independent:
Q: Fidel Castro: hero of the left, or dangerous authoritarian dictator?
Harman: Hero of the left – but time for Cuba to move on.
So there you have it, the view of yet another looney lefty who is prepared to ignore torture, murder and the like.

Unless its done by someone who is not a fellow socialist like Castro...

I wonder if she has ever spoken to people who are or have been imprisoned in Cuba, a nation that is little more than a Soviet style gulag with palm trees. I refer her and the other dull fucktards of the left who are happy to wear Che tee-shirts and whitter on about the lovely old gent Fidel, to this:From The New Statesman

A jailed Cuban journalist whose health is rapidly deteriorating in the face of prison-contracted diseases has been chosen as one of four writers to mark the Day of the Imprisoned Writer on 15 November. The special day, held on the same date each year, is organised by PEN, the writers' organisation that backs persecuted authors around the world.

Normando Hernández González was imprisoned in 2003 for reports and broadcasts on the internet and Radio Martí that were said by the government to endanger security. Hernández was found guilty of spying and threatening national security, crimes that carry a 25-year jail term. He was one of 75 journalists arrested in the Cuban government crackdown on the press in 2003 and, according to PEN, remains one of 59 still held by the regime.

He was thrown a glimmer of hope a few months ago when the government of Costa Rica effectively granted him asylum in absentia, launching a plea for his release after reports of a downward turn in his condition.

The move came about after Hernández's mother, Bianca González, appealed to Costa Rican legislators to intervene.

José Manuel Echandi, a former Defender of the Citizens in Costa Rica, answered the call and accused Cuba of torture in blocking the journalist's release.

The Cuban journalist's illness has been partly brought about by a hunger strike he began six months ago, but he has also contracted tuberculosis in prison. Hernández has spent most of the past 12 months in a maximum security prison, but was recently moved to a hospital for treatment.

At Echandi's request, Costa Rica asked Cuba to free Hernández and allow him to be transferred across the Caribbean Sea for health care attention in that country. When they received no response, Echandi wrote to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Louise Arbour, to seek help to speed his release.

Press freedom watchdog Reporters Without Borders is also backing the request that Hernández should be transported to Costa Rica.

"Humanitarian concerns are clearly paramount as regards all prisoners of conscience," the organisation said.

Cuba has more journalists locked up than any other country in the world, apart from China. Those still held since March 2003 are serving sentences ranging from 14 to 27 years.

According to Reporters Without Borders, three journalists held in Cuba were arrested after Fidel Castro's brother Raú took over the running of the country last year.

**Harman should hang her head in shame, better still resign and apologise to all the people tortured, imprisoned without trial, killed or who live in daily fear in the gulag that is Cuba.

New Labour - Still supporting socialist murderers around the planet.

Jyllands-Posten Muhammad Cartoons





Just because - The Danish national anthem and the cartoons of Mohammed. Sure to fill the hearts of Taliban spokesbeards with love & joy.

Rwanda - Things just getting worse.


Rwanda, one of those places in Africa that sadly is always in the news for things going wrong. Now they have had another disaster hit them and once again my heart go's out to them.

What with the economic woes, the ethnic violence of a few years past and a corrupt inept government the poor folk of Rwanda are to be saddled with Pasha Blair, who has taken a job to help the nation gain private investment as it seeks to boost its economy.

After all we all know how Blair took a high profile job and resolved in sohrt order(sic) the problems of the Middle East, bringing peace to both Jews & Arabs.

Along with working towards running the EU, oh and landing a job or seven with various banks and other private companies.

Shortly after turning Rwanda into an African boom economy Blair may follow this up by walking on water or claiming that he is in fact Christ arisen.

Still spare a thought for the poor folk of Rwanda who now have to deal with that grinning buffoon.

Ian Lucas MP - re Richard Brunstrom & Proven libelist Paul Flynn MP.


Some fun and games going on with regards allegations about Ian Lucas which has been broadcast on the BBC.

Mr Lucas is not to happy about this - and if the comments are untrue and I am sure that eventually the truth will out - then he has every right to be annoyed.

The comments below are from Mr Lucas' site: http://www.ianlucas.co.uk/Ian-Lucas-News.pdf

WREXHAM MP Ian Lucas has said he is “shocked and saddened ” by untrue personal attacks on him by North Wales Police’s most senior chief officers. The Chief Officers are reported to have described Mr Lucas as “Ian Ned Ludd Lucas”, talked about MPs being parachuted into Wales and suggested Mr Lucas was “purporting to represent people” during a discussion filmed for a BBC documentary to be shown tonight. Mr Lucas said: “To make these insulting and false comments on camera, in the full knowledge they could be broadcast, shows how atrocious the judgment of North Wales’ Chief Officers is and how unprofessional they are. Neither Richard Brunstrom nor his Deputy has ever had the guts to make these statements to my face. “If they had, I could have told them I moved to Wrexham in 1986 and both my teenage children were born in Wrexham. Members of my constituency party here in Wrexham were not born yesterday and probably took into account when selecting me that I had been Wrexham’s Labour Conference delegate in 1990, Chair of Wrexham Labour Party in 1992 and a local activist in Wrexham and Oswestry for 15 years before my election. I have also been elected twice by the people of Wrexham. “The comment that I am “purporting to represent my constituents” is also demonstrably untrue – the very issue which seemed to spark this “rant” came about after discussions with Gwersyllt Community Council who had raised concerns with me about the loss of police officers in their community. I still don’t know why North Wales Police recruits web administrators when taking officers off the beat in Wrexham. “I am, of course, concerned by the untrue allegations made about me. In politics, if people say things about you that are not true, they stick. I want these two officers to withdraw what they have said, admit they were wrong and apologise." “However, what I find even more worrying is that – yet again - they raise more questions about the professionalism of North Wales Police’s chief officers – not only Richard Brunstrom but also Clive Wolfendale. I am also very disturbed that they call into question my right to represent my constituents – because I was born in England. “To make such comments is one thing, but to make them knowing they were being filmed and likely to be broadcast really beggars belief. “It was just last week that yet another media protocol had to be put into place at a meeting of the North Wales Police Authority after an appalling lapse in judgement by the Chief Constable. “I have complained to the Police Authority and I would expect they make a statement after this programme is broadcast. “I have not asked for Mr Brunstrom or Mr Wolfendale to consider their positions before, although my concerns have been mounting - but they certainly no longer have my confidence. It is impossible to have any type of working relationship with anyone who behaves in such an unprofessional way.”

Now having read the above you will notice that the name of Richard Brunstrom has popped out, for those not in the know Mr Brunstrom has been featured in the papers quite a lot during his time as head of the North Wales plod.

Known as the "Traffic Taliban" for his hard line on motorists, even going so far as to show photo's of a chap killed on the roads: the use of photos of a man killed in a traffic accident:
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news_detail_pa.html?sku=11777731801219

Some more on the chap can be found
here: http://www.abd.org.uk/brunstrom.htm

Now one thing I noticed was the fact that my local MP, the dire libel case loser and proven liar Paul Flynn leapt to the defence of Ian Lucas, and fair enough him defending a fellow MP against what may be baseless accusations.

However he called on the BBC to apologize but made no mention of Mr Brunstrom at all during his article: link

Maybe Mr Flynn having defended Brunstrom previously over his calls for illegal drugs to be made legal he now finds that he has a problem taking him to task and so aims his annoyance at the BBC instead?

New Labour news spin?

Finally here is the "Traffic Taliban" getting a taser hit.

Motorists of the UK enjoy...
