From Is there more to life than shoes

All aboard the Christmas gravy train:

The European Union’s institutions in Brussels have been accused of squandering millions of Euro of European taxpayers’ money by paying for their employees’ Christmas travel expenses at a time of economic crisis. Hans-Peter Martin, an independent member of the European Parliament from Austria, wrote to the press denouncing this “shocking privilege.”

“The money would be better spent financing meaningful social projects,” Martin wrote. Last year, the European Commission and the European Council jointly spent just under 47 million Euro (USD 65 million dollars) to pay for the Christmas travel arrangements of their 22,800-odd employees.

Wankers. 47 million fucking Euros of tax money. Oh sure small change for an organisation that has not had its accounts signed off and which makes fucking Enron look trustworthy.

Compare that to the billions spunked away on non existant farmers producing pigs that exist only on paper from a farm based in a flat in a Milan towerblock and its nothing. 

God but I hate the EU, they had wanking our money away to a fine art years ago and make that one eyed cunt in No.10 Downing Street look like a fucking chimp copying the tourists in comparison. Sorry thats not really correct I should have said one eyed chimp.

Anyway the above article carrys on and explains that the mere 47 million Euros divided by the number of shiftless employees some 22,800 gives an average of 2000 Euros a person.

As one can for a top figure of say £500 get ones arse from any point to any other point in Europe, it has to be asked where the rest of the money is going?

The recession has not hit those at the EU this Christmas.

From the Dailymail

Killjoy bosses have ordered firefighters to take down their Christmas decorations - because they are a fire hazard.

An email has been sent to fire stations in East Sussex warning crews they have to take down any fairy lights that have not been officially approved.

Firefighters have told friends the decorations are unlikely to be checked in time, so those working over Christmas will have little festive cheer around them.

They said the latest diktat added further bitterness to recent unhappiness in the service after stations were ordered to get rid of their snooker tables and comfortable chairs from recreation rooms.

An insider said: 'Apparently they think it is giving the public the impression that the fire service is unprofessional.

'It seems a bit Scrooge-like to me. You would have thought they might trust firefighters of all people to put up lights safely.' 

Fire bosses denied that Christmas lights had been banned but said all station decorations had to meet safety standards.

.

Give that one eyed unelected cuntbubble enough time to fuck up enough of the UK economy, at least the bit not under the control of unelected fuckers in Eurabiaope.

Naturally New Labour MP's will be exempt along with party backers, throw some hyper inflation into the mix, record debts and possibly an IMF bail out and its going to be a fun 2009.

Still don't worry as "Gordon saved the World!"....

.

Army revolt less than a day after the dictator dies. 

Some things are just so predictable with regards Africa. So no doubt we will have the now dead dictator replaced by another AK47 wielding thug going under the title of Prime Minister/General whatever, whilst grabbing all the resources and pleading for aid whilst doing so.

Another turd from the Turd World, circling the drain.

CONAKRY, Guinea – A military-led group seized control of the airwaves in Guinea and declared a coup Tuesday after the death of the mineral-rich West African country’s longtime dictator, but the prime minister insisted he remained in charge.

An Associated Press reporter saw three tanks and dozens of armed soldiers heading toward the prime minister’s office inside the country’s presidential compound.

Blah blah blah. Cue the new leader soon to be waving an AK47, holidaying in the finest hotels and flying on a private jet paid for by aid from European tax payers whilst adorned in a necklace of human skulls.

Jacquis plod giving up on crime.

Jesus fucking H, they really just don't give a flying fuck any more the New Labour scum. They figure that so long as a few worthless PCSO's wandering the streets and they have lots of flow charts and dodgy figures on knife crime then we can all go fuck ourselves.

Now it comes to light that our bovine faced, slack jawed, lard arsed kebab eating Home Sec. and her plod have "decided not to investigate crimes" -

The offences include sex attacks, violent robberies, harassment, burglary and drug incidents.

The Metropolitan Police, the country's largest police force, decided that more than half of crimes did not warrant full investigation as there was little chance of the culprit being caught, according to The Daily Mail.

**Although they can find a few spare plod fresh from a rascism awareness course to raid the offices of a Tory MP.

The Met said that in the 2007/8 financial year it "screened out" a total of 437,888 offences. These included 26,709 violent offences, 338 sex attacks, 5,562 robberies and more than 60,000 burglaries.

For burglary, the Met only investigates one in three cases reported to them. In Bedfordshire, which last year screened out 42 per cent of crimes, one in three burglaries do not get a full investigation, while in Norfolk, 113 sex attacks were among the 42 per cent of crime screened out.

Although the percentage of screened out crime falls for more serious offences the force still excluded 290 offences of violence, 12 sex attacks, 32 robberies and 16 drugs offences.
It was found that across the country, of the 16 forces who replied to a Freedom of  Information request, 39 per cent of crimes were screened out - an equivalent of 1.9 million out of the five million crimes reported.

A spokesman for Victim Support said: "Even if this process is justified by lack of evidence, the figures are likely to undermine confidence in the police among victims.

So what with wall to wall databases, countless amounts of cash spunked away on PCSO's they cant even be fucked to investigate crime any more. 

Still look on the bright side at least when you need a taxi you can get one of Bob Quicks finest to give you a lift to the pub.

Quite how fucking inept can policing get under New Labour.

First up they bitch like a bunch of stuck pigs at having to follow a ruling with regards deleting innocent peoples DNA off the database. 

Oh and lets not forget the criminals on the police computer system that for whatever reason have not been added to said database, not a peep on if when or if they are likely to be put on.

Now it comes to light that our bovine faced, slack jawed, lard arsed kebab eating Home Sec. and her plod have "lost track" of 317 sex offenders in the past 12 months.

So what with wall to wall databases, countless amounts of cash spunked away on PCSO's they cant even keep a track of the kiddie fiddlers.

No doubt when one of said nonces decides to smoke in the wrong place or drives 1 cunting mile over the speed limit he/she will be picked up by the boys & gals in blue.

I fucking dispair I really do.

From a tangled web

I see that a fully-dressed clown was left stunned after being strip searched by airport security at Belfast.

Children's entertainer David Vaughan, 60, was dressed as Pc Konk, complete with huge floppy shoes, a policeman's helmet and face paint, when he was taken aside by security staff at Birmingham International Airport. Mr Vaughan had been booked by Variety Club Midlands to entertain 100 disadvantaged children on a plane as it circled the region on a one-hour Christmas charity flight. But a piece of metal on his costume set off the security alarm, prompting security guards to confiscate his plastic handcuffs and order him to strip down to his shorts and T-shirt. Staff also demanded he put his bubble mix liquid, to be used to blow bubbles from a plastic saxophone, into a clear sealed plastic bag.

Well excuse my complete lack of cunting sympathy but who really gives a flying fuck. Its a clown for fucks sake, a social inadequate who were he not a clown would be hanging about outside primary schools or trainspotting(or both...).

As I said previously with regards clowns: here

A couple of points on clowns:

1/ Now clowns are not funny, they are not clever in the way they they parade about. Now this is not to suggest that all people who dress up are wrong, for example mimes have a certain amount of talent, well if standing still for hours or pretending to trapped in a box is a talent? They then have some talent, (Mimes can be excused as at least some of them are normal outside of miming that is.) 

Nor are clowns deserving of money for the way that they dress. Honking of horns and falling over fifty times in a few minutes is not funny, however a clown falling in front of a bus or other heavy good vehicle and dying from multiple organ failure as a result is funny in the same way that it happening to a chav would be funny and also a blessing to society as whole.

Honking a horn, possession of a red fucking nose is not a basis for comedy, neither is over large shoes and the usual clown garb of loud clothes. It makes them look like a wanker.

2/ Clowns are 99 out a 100 times social perverts of some type or another. Pick a perversion and yep, you can bet your arse (quite literally) that a clown has been caught at it at some point. Yep everything from abusing kids, dogging, hanging about outside of schools right through to mass murder. Yes clowns have done them all.

Taken from Brewers Dictionary of Phrase and Fable:

"THE CLOWN OF CIRCUS AND PANTOMIME, IN HIS BAGGY COSTUME, WHITENED FACE, GROTESQUE RED LIPS, AND ODD LITTLE TUFT OF HAIR, IS PROBABLY A RELIC OF THE DEVIL AS HE APPEARED IN MEDIEVAL MIRACLE PLAYS."
Want some evidence that well clowns are sick and evil, well check out this charmer:

Yes mass murderer John Wayne Gacy, just look at that face now there is someone who is sure to be putting your kids through years of therapy. I find it strange that otherwise rational parents can inflict these people on their offspring?

Gacy is the typical sad fuck that represents each clown out there, behind all that greasepaint and makeup, is a pervert just crying to get out. Oh a handy link here for further reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne_Gacy 

.

Yep the pic is our Ed dressed as a Nazi, one socialist showing support for another group?...

Oh Ed has done it again, its like there is some law in the universe that says that there must be a maximum amount of time before Ed Balls can end up looking like a complete useless cunt again. 

Me I happen to think that law is about 2 and a half weeks in duration. After which some universal force puts a message in Ed's brain and normality is resumed.

Anyway onto his latest spot of lunacy Ed has put warnings on health and safety on the dangers of the festive season.(Found this at Barking Moonbats)

The ‘blindingly-obvious’ leaflets were printed with the authority of Children’s Secretary Ed Balls Photo: PA

The leaflets, which have been printed with the authority of Children’s Secretary Ed Balls, tells parents that children could be hurt if they fall off rocking horses or ride their new bikes into walls.

(bet you guys reading this did not know that. so consider this a PSA for Americans too, paid for by the wealthy Brit taxpayer.)

It also alerts people to the dangers of tinsel, with a thousand people each year apparently “hurt by trimmings or when decorating their homes.”

The Department for Children, Schools and Families has printed the 150,000 leaflets designed to look like advent calendars, to be distributed through shopping malls and children’s centres “to help make the festive season safe”.

Safety tips featured in “Tis the Season to be Careful” include a warning that parents may cut themselves with knives when trying to prize open presents quickly. 

The leaflets also recommend avoiding decorations like baubles that break easily, as the pieces can be very sharp.

Children’s minister Delyth Morgan said the leaflet would remind parents of safeguards-around the home so they can “make sure Christmas is a time for fun and laughter but not tears”.

Tory junior Children’s spokesman Tim Loughton said: “This is yet more evidence that the DCSF really stands for the Department that Can’t Stop Fiddling.

“It is ironic that a Government Department which has become accident prone for messing up test results, pouring millions into databases that don’t work and failing to protect our most vulnerable children is now spending thousands on producing leaflets to state the blindingly obvious.”

Sometimes you come across a story of fuckwittery that you just have to post.

From Crusader Rabbit

Sentence for brutal sex attack reduced
A man who raped a woman in her south Auckland home in 2006, has had his minimum sentence in prison reduced three years by the Court of Appeal.
...However, Roger Tira Kahui had his appeal against his conviction dismissed and a sentence of preventive detention remained.

Kahui, a relative of Chris Kahui, who was this year acquitted of the murders of his twin sons, was sentenced last year in the High Court at Auckland to preventive detention, with no chance of release for 16 years.
A jury found him guilty of 26 charges including rape, kidnap, sexual violence and indecent assault.
During his sentencing, Justice Hugh Williams said society needed to be protected from a man who had more than 120 previous convictions.

In their decision released today, Justices Ellen France, Judith Potter and Alan MacKenzie said Justice Williams had used a sentencing benchmark that was too high for the crimes committed.

Yep it must be something in the water that people in government, legal circles and the like drink. This sort of shit we have sort of got used to here in the UK, that it is happening in Australia is a fucking bad sign.

Then again they voted for that useless cunt Kevin Rudd so maybe its not such a big surprise.

I recently contacted my MP with regards beer taxes and pub closures. First off is my mail which I sent as part of a campagn on the part of the drinkers alliance group:

Sent: Thursday, 27 November, 2008 3:48:53 PM
Subject: Axe the Beer Tax

Dear Paul Flynn,

I am writing to you to make sure you are aware of a campaign to save the British pub. As my MP, I want you to sign up to the campaign to show your support for pubs up and down the country. I would also ask that you to write to the Chancellor requesting that he stops the planned rises in beer tax which could ruin the brewing industry.

This is the last time to be considering tax hikes. The current rate of pub closures is running at 36 per week, around 5 a day! Pub landlords are facing a fall in beer consumption, with beer sales at their lowest since the Great Depression. And, the Government already takes a third of a pint in tax.

Yet, despite the economic slowdown the Government plans to further increase taxes on beer! A nine per cent beer duty increase was imposed in the 2008 Budget, and through a tax 'escalator,' the Treasury wants to impose above inflation tax increases on beer in each of the next three Budgets. On top of this the Chancellor has recently announced a further duty increase. This takes the total increase in beer tax to 40% over the next four years. 

This could well be the final nail in the coffin for many more of Britain's much loved pubs.

The Axe The Beer Tax campaign has five demands: 

1. Axe plans to increase beer tax by a third
2. Enforce existing laws, not create new ones, to deal firmly with irresponsible drinkers and premises
3. To end the irresponsible promotion of alcohol in supermarkets, pubs and elsewhere
4. To trust responsible adults to make informed choices about what they drink, not to punish them for the actions of an irresponsible minority 
5. To support the British pub as a vital party of social life in local communities

I hope you will support these demands. To do so, please visit the campaign website www.axethebeertax.com to register your support and help us save the Great British Pub.

Yours sincerely,

Now here is the reply back from Paul Flynn to the email sent as part of a campaign by the drinkers alliance.

Attached is a reply that I have received from Angela Eagle MP in response to your email about the beer tax.

 

You will see that it is a disappointing reply and the Minister makes the point that many other factors are involved in the declining number of customers that pubs have these days.  It is worth pointing out that last weekend 13 million people stayed in on the busiest day of the year to watch Strictly Come Dancing and similar numbers on previous weeks to watch the X Factor.  While there has been a sad disappearance of some pubs in Newport other very successful ones have opened in recent years.

 

It is unlikely that the price of beer is a major factor in the decline of pubs.

 

Thank you once again for contacting me about this.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Paul Flynn 
 

Paul Flynn MP House of Commons London SW1A OAA

Lasty here is the stock letter that was sent by Angela Eagle MP, note the words stock letter as I happen to know a few other people who have sent letters/e-mails to their MP's which have in due course been forwarded to this MP and the exact same fucking letter has been sent from her to each and every MP.

There are a few points on this letter, first up it doesn't tackle the main points raised by the drinkers alliance. Just read the points on new laws, responsible promotions, pub closures etc etc etc. 

Then the worst point is this steaming pile of arse gravy at the end about "the changes in the demand for beer are the result of many factors including shifting tastes and consumer preferences."

In a word bollocks, the number of micro brewerys has grown, consumers drink as much beer as they ever did(taxes allowing) and would love to go out a bit more and would if the taxes were lowered.  
Now here is a little bit on how not everyone pays the same in taxes, indeed if one happens to be an elected MP, like Angela Eagle or Paul Flynn they can enjoy cheap drinks all subsidised by the taxpayers of this fair land: link

Thanks to bastard old holborn for the pic.

The House of Commons Refreshment Department operated on a subsidy of £5.5 million of taxpayers’ money in the 2007/08 financial year, equivalent to total annual tax receipts from 35 pubs. The subsidy, not published in the House of Commons’ Annual Accounts, was £693,000 higher than in 2006/07, a 15% increase.

It accounted for 43% of the Department’s operating costs, meaning that the taxpayer coughs up £4.30 for every £10 spent refreshing our politicians: even before they claim back their outgoings without receipts through the notorious expenses system.

There are at least 12 bars in the Parliamentary estate, excluding the various dining rooms, brasseries and banqueting suites. Unsurprisingly, given the MPs write their own laws as well as ours, they operate without a licence and have no restrictions on hours.

Given the level of subsidy, it is unsurprising that MPs can enjoy much cheaper drinks than their constituents. A pint of Foster’s in Stranger’s Bar costs £2.10, compared with a national average of £2.80 (33% higher) and a London average of around £3.00 (43% higher). A House of Commons 8-year-old Scotch costs £1.35, while our politicians can enjoy a Pimm’s on the Thames-side terrace for just £1.65.

It is rather telling that our MP's and noble Lords are unable to run a pub without drawing monies from the public, the old saying about "being unable to organise a piss up in a brewery" leaps forth here.

Now Paul Flynn makes the point of some pubs going from Newport, so here is a list of the ones that have closed since 1997. 

Again in part this is due to higher taxes year on year on the pub trade. The replacements in the main have been large corporate chains like JD Wetherspoon devoid of social interaction with customers and little more than a Mc'Donald type chain with a drinks license.  Original article at Beer Brewer on Newport pub closures since 1997.

Also on Mr Flynns reply quite why he seems to regard the millions watching chavscum TV as important to the subject of pub closures?

"13 million people stayed in on the busiest day of the year to watch Strictly Come Dancing and similar numbers on previous weeks to watch the X Factor."

Maybe if taxes were lower then more people would be able to enjoy a quiet pint in a nice local pub and actually improve themselves with some social interaction over that of staring at the telly box in the corner of the room?....

.

The fat fucker has been bleating on about how everything is down to the evil baby eating Tories.

Cue this arsegravy from the upset member of the plod:

Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Bob Quick, whose claims were angrily denied by the Tories, said the party was “mobilised” against his probe into Home Office leaks involving senior MP Damian Green.

He made the comments after a Sunday newspaper reported that a wedding car hire business was being run from his home by his wife Judith, raising questions about whether his personal security was being compromised.

Yep a top cop is running a chaffeur service from his house, which was advertised in public. Not only that he made a big thing of being able to use ex-police drivers. The Mail on Sunday got hold of this and pointed out that this may well be a bit of a security risk, what with him being head of the anti terror unit.

So this is where it no enters fucking la la looney land, he claims that as he has been exposed as a glorified taxi driver this is some sort of security risk!? So running a taxi firm from his home was not a security risk but getting caught by the press is.

Next up he throws his toys out of the pram, evacuates his family and issues a press release claiming that the story:

"is an attempt to undermine an investigation which is legitimate. The Tory machinery and their press friends are mobilised against this investigation in a wholly corrupt way, and I feel very disappointed in the country I am living in."

Does the word tool go leaping to mind with regards Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Bob Quick, along with fuckwit, asshat, looney, moonbat, loopy, barking, arsehole.

**Update - Just when one thinks that the dipshittery can not get any more bizarre my local MP, the libel case losing coffin dodger Paul Flynn pops up to defend him. 

He bleats about how the paper made his address public, although I would assume that running a taxi firm would be what gave his address away.

Still Paul Flynn has never let facts get in the way, which sort of explains why Endowment Justice fiscaly fucked him over in the libel case.

Still this from an MP who claimed that Sen. McCain was to old for the top job in the USA. This from an MP older and not wiser than Sen. McCain.

**Update PC taxi driver has stated that he was wrong, withdrawn his comments and realised that he was looking somewhat like a total fucking cuntbubble, as this is the case will the libel case loser MP Paul Flynn also admit that his snide remarks about the Tory press in his post were wrong? Not holding breath on that one...

Lots of lovely money for ever more Labour voters sorry guests of the socialist benefits state.

Six Somali "asylum seekers" in Birmingham have been given four- and five-bedroomed houses at taxpayers’ expense after winning a legal battle with the council — funded by free legal aid for which taxpayers also paid.

The Somalians were given free homes shortly after they arrived in Britain. But they soon complained the accommodation was too small after their families arrived from abroad.

One refugee was in a two-bed flat, but a year later was joined here by his wife and six children. Another was also joined by his wife and six children before she gave birth to another child.

They took their demands to court — using legal aid cash — after Birmingham council said it had no accommodation left. They were moved into bigger houses after winning the action. One got a five-bedroom mansion, four got four-bedroom homes and another received a three-bedroom house.

The fact they are asylum seekers ensured that they qualified for legal aid. None of the asylum seekers is believed to be working and all were said to be living off welfare benefits.

Migrationwatch chief Sir Andrew Green said:

“This may all be perfectly legal but it leaves the long-standing residents of Birmingham aghast at the manipulation of the system.”

Plus we have this gem: Raid on asylum seekers charity.

POLICE have smashed a suspected £20 million asylum seeker fraud after swooping on a Midland charity.

Seventy officers raided Astonbrook Housing Association in Birmingham at dawn on Wednesday and arrested seven people, including the chief executive.

The raid came a week after the Sunday Mercury revealed how the charity had been accused of inventing thousands of needy immigrants to claim millions from the Home Office and city council.

Astonbrook gained the biggest Government contract to provide homes for asylum seekers in April 2006.

Since then it has received almost £20 million from the Home Office, via the city council, but police are now looking at where that money has gone.

The charity is owned and run by a group of former Somali asylum seekers. It has contracts in four UK regions - the Midlands, South West, Wales and Yorkshire - and won a five-year Home Office contract just 16 months ago.

Astonbrook was awarded the multi-million contract despite the fact that its chief executive formerly ran another leading refugee support organisation, the Birmingham-based Midland Refugee Council, which collapsed in 2005...

*From London’s East End comes the news that “refugees and other immigrants are being helped to find jobs by Town Hall officials.”

A pilot six-month project has been launched offering one-to-one and group tutoring to help new arrivals who are living in supported housing in Tower Hamlets to find work to be able to keep themselves.

Weekly courses are being run by the authority to help them with English, CV writing, how to search for jobs and preparing for interviews.

They get further support once they complete the programme from professional advisers from Praxis community projects, funded by the council’s Supporting People programme.

Unemployment among Tower Hamlets’ immigrants and other ethnic communities are far higher than the national average.

**Naturally the thought of deporting some of these people would never enter the socialist hive mindset.

Roll up, roll up, more benefits and free council houses...

The Government has decided to issue another 5,000 work visas to Bulgarians and Romanians next year, despite unemployment in the UK now topping 1.8 million. There are around 67,000 Romanian and Bulgarian workers in Britain, according to recent figures.

Home Office officials have claimed that the ?immigrant agricultural workers’ are needed to fill gaps in the unskilled labour market.

Sir Andrew Green, chairman of the MigrationWatch think tank, has pointed out that it is a “pity there are not stronger incentives for unemployed British workers to do the agricultural work.”

The decision to increase the number of visas also flies in the face of previous Government policy which was to impose restrictions on Romanians and Bulgarian workers entering Britain following their addition to the EU last year.

“For a married man with two children, the difference between working at the minimum wage and unemployment benefits is less than £20 per week,” Sir Green said. “That is hardly enough to pay the bus fare to work.” Something is seriously wrong with such a situation, but rather than correct it, the Government is happy to keep British people on benefits rather than see them get work.

When eight other Eastern European states joined the EU five years ago the Government opted to allow a free-for-all, with open access to the UK jobs market.

That decision led to an unprecedented influx of more than a million workers from Poland and other countries, despite the Government claiming that only 13,000 a year would arrive.

**So when you can't find work remember to thank our kind one eyed overlord Gordon Brown.

Calais — Afghan invaders attempting to enter Britain have been caught hiding in a lorry load of nappies. Six Afghan men were found hidden among boxes of nappies in a Lithuanian lorry which was stopped by UK Border Agency officials on its way to a Channel ferry in Calais, France. They were found after hi-tech equipment picked up high levels of carbon dioxide.

Manchester — A 'political refugee’ from Angola has been jailed for two years after using an alter-ego to swindle more than £70,000 in a benefits scam. Luzia Da Silva Miguel was legally claiming support for herself and her two young children.

For several years she was also being paid benefits under the false identity of Antonia Bordalo whose 'home’ was an unoccupied house in Longsight. The fraud was discovered following a surveillance operation when investigators spotted Miguel, 44, obtaining statements and withdrawing cash from a bank account in the name Bordalo.

Miguel, who has degrees in management and banking and finance, was arrested and at Manchester Crown Court admitted 10 charges involving £70,525.

Portsmouth — A Turkish kebab shop worker has been deported after it was discovered he was an illegal immigrant. Immigration officers from the UK Border Agency arrested the man on a visit to the Leigh Park Kebab House in Park Parade, Leigh Park.

He could not produce documentation showing he had a right to work in this country. The man has been detained pending his deportation from the UK.

The manager of the takeaway was also served with an on-the-spot penalty notice for employing someone illegally.

Manchester — A renewed flood of invaders attempting to enter Britain through Manchester airport has forced authorities to reopen an expanded detention facility.

Previously known as Manchester Detention Centre, Pennine House can now hold up to 32 detainees, double its previous capacity.

Our system is a farce, hell the most wanted terrorists could be working as taxi drivers in Bradford and no doubt even using their real names and our piss poor system would be quite happy to keep paying their benefits.

**On the subject of detention centres, we have this tale which I have seen reported elsewhere but this blog post summed it up perfectly so I have copyed it in full: The Devil's Advocate

THIS IS how our legal system works … or doesn’t. Moroccan Rashid Ali (30) turned up in Britain in 2004 claiming to be an Algerian asylum seeker. His application was rejected and he ended up squatting in an abandoned grain warehouse at Avonmouth Docks, near Bristol. (Why he wasn’t sent home at this point is beyond me, as you’ll see.)

Ali then decided that he wanted to go home, with his preferred mode of transport being a ship. He was booted off the first one he stowed away on at Milford Haven in Wales. He then kept on trying and after being caught for the fifth time was hauled before the courts and sentenced to three years in a detention centre … at a cost to the taxpayer of around £250,000.

Two days after his release (and we pause again to ask why he hadn’t then been sent home) he was caught hiding on yet another boat. Back to the courts again where a frustrated Judge finally asks the question as to why a man who so clearly wants to return to his homeland is constantly prevented from doing so by a judicial system that makes the Three Stooges look like potential Cabinet members.

So I had a quick look on t’internet this morning and a flight from Bristol to Marrakech comes in at £83.27. Might I suggest that that’s a cheaper option for HMG than banging the poor bugger up for another three years at a cost of a quarter of a million? Or am I missing something here?

**Sadly he is not missing a thing other than taxpayers money being wasted. Logic and common sense disappears in a bizarre mix of policing, quangos and various departments all with their own agendas, procedures and paperwork.

Now fact he was an illegal aside, there is something wrong with a system that cant process him and get the chap onto a flight back home in double quick time. Its not as if he did not want to get out of the UK.

Welcome to Gordon Browns new "Cool Britannia", even when you want to leave they won't let you!

A motorist has been found guilty of killing another driver after using her mobile phone to send and receive more than 20 text messages.

Phillipa Curtis, 21, from Suffolk, crashed into a stationary car on the A40 near Wheatley, Oxfordshire.

Curtis wept as she was convicted of causing death by dangerous driving.

Now given that she is facing a rather long time behind bars could someone in the legal system explain quite why one Lord Ahmed(pictured in the middle here holding the pitchfork) who also sent text messages is being treated differently under the law? 

Both people caused the death of someone due to driving and texting,

Yet one is charged with causing death by dangerous driving, the other(Lord Ahmed) is simply charged with dangerous driving. 

In New Labours new Cool Britannia all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

From The Register

New Labour claim that the ID database is a spiffing idea an that we all have nothing to fear, our bovine faced Home Sec. Jacqui Smith claims that everyone wants one - I think she wants a swift kick to the cunt myself but I won't claim unlike her that my idea has universal appeal(yet) - and yet if a corrupt fucker has access to your details then this can happen.

A London policeman who attempted to blackmail sex offenders and drug dealers has been jailed for six years.

PC Amerdeep Singh Johal, 29, was arrested by anti-corruption cops from Scotland Yard in July 2007. Johal was employed in checking names and address on the police database, called Crimint, on behalf of beat cops.

He abused the role to contact 11 convicted offenders and threaten to spill the beans on their crimes unless he was given "hush money". Johal requested between £29,000 and £31,000 for his silence, threatening to tell work colleagues or neighbours of convicted sex offenders about their crimes. In one instance Johal demanded £89,000 as a "goodwill gesture".

**So just six years, not much for threatening to fuck up peoples lives. Still at least this makes all those who support the ID cards system look like the authoritarian fuckers that they are.

He also used Crimint to research drug dealers, including a member of a group rejoicing in the title The League of Four English Gentlemen.

The extortion racket unravelled after one of Johal's victims reported him to the police. Scotland Yard used an undercover officer to pose as a blackmail victim and offer to pay him £5,000.

Johal, of Ilford, texted a friend called Chatham Charlie looking for tips in how to invest the money. Johal's lawyers argued that their client was himself a victim of two extortionists, acting for a kidnapper called Baljit Bhandal.

Police failed to unearth independent sightings of the pair or the Bentley they supposedly drove, nor any supporting evidence. Nor, did Johal even tell his wife about the pressure he was supposedly under.

These arguments failed to convince the jury, who turned in a guilty verdict against Johal. An Old Bailey clerk confirmed Johal had been sentenced to six years' imprisonment for blackmail. He was also ordered to pay £32,000 in compensation.

The case has raised wider concerns about the misuse of police databases, which the Metropolitan police is keen to downplay.

A Scotland Yard spokesman told the BBC: "There are strict guidelines in place regarding the use of intelligence databases and if anyone abuses it that is taken extremely seriously." 

In a word Scotland Yards spokesman is full of shit.

So now the cunt is bailing out Indian billionaires, so why are we bailing out billionaire Indian businessmen Gordon?

Oh yes its just public money.

What next? Maybe the UK tax payer being asked to loan money at a preferential rate to Santander, a Spanish bank? Something that the Spanish Government ought to be doing, oh hang on the cunt has done that as well.

A kind-hearted teenager was interrogated for two hours and threatened with a criminal record by police after he attempted to help elderly residents left stranded by icy weather.

Philip Barnes, 17, went to the aid of the residents on an estate in Kendal, Cumbria, who were unable to leave their homes because the footpaths outside had not been gritted.

Determined to accomplish his act of kindness, the teenager and his friends spent hours driving around town looking for grit for the paths around the estate in Cedar Grove.

He finally found some at a railway station and went ahead with the gritting.

However, two days later British Transport Police arrived at his home and accused the youngster of theft of the grit.

'It's been awful. I was only trying to help', Philip said.

'People in Cedar Grove could not leave their homes and cars were spinning all over the place.

'I went to the council depot and was told that if I could find one of the yellow bins with some grit in, to help myself. I found a bin at the station - took a bucketful and spread it.

'Two days later I was contacted by the police who said they had CCTV of me stealing the grit and said I was being considered for prosecution. I could not believe it.

Philip added: 'They came to my house and questioned me for two hours.

'I have never been in trouble before and tried to explain I was helping the older people get out of their homes.

'The officer said that if they did not take me to court I might still get an official caution.I have been worrying ever since.'

Andrea Loudon, a resident of Cedar Grove said: 'We should be thanking Philip and his mates not persecuting them.

'They are young lads and they did a grand job. One of my neighbours uses a wheelchair and could not get out until the lads gritted.'

A spokesman for British Transport Police said: 'We have investigated this but it appears the 17-year-old and his friends who took the grit did not realise they were committing an offence.

**Remember tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime. 

Guess it must have been a quiet day at the station that day, guess maybe there were not any outstanding rapists, burglars and other assorted ne'er-do-wells that needed catching by the boys an gals in blue.

One can but assume that the local plod must have had a 100% clearup rate of all crime to find themselves with so much time on their hands that they figure some grit going walkabout needs investigating.

A senior magistrate has resigned in protest at Government policies that impose soft punishments and undermine the courts.

Dr Dick Soper says criminals are walking free from prison after serving just a quarter of the sentences he and his colleagues impose.

Others are being handed fixed fines or police cautions  -  taking justice out of the hands of the courts and away from public scrutiny.

Dr Soper, 64, a GP, has served 26 years on the bench at Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

He used his final session yesterday to deliver an angry broadside, saying: 'Although I could serve for another five years I no longer feel my time is being usefully spent in court.

'I feel that this long-standing system which has served the public well for centuries has, in recent years, been more and more interfered with by politicians.'

He told how he recently jailed an offender for six months but saw him walking about the town just six weeks later.

Dr Soper said: 'My greatest frustration and that of my colleagues is the very early release of prisoners.'

He said virtually all offenders are released automatically halfway through their sentences, while emergency measures to tackle prison overcrowding means many have another 18 days knocked off their sentences. Yet the judges and magistrates who heard their cases have no say over their early release.

Dr Soper said magistrates considered 'very hard' how to punish criminals, and added: 'It is frustrating when that careful thought seems to be undermined. It has certainly reduced my confidence in the system.'...

Tough on crime my arse, Labour love criminals and hate taxpayers.

EU parliament prevents screening of anti-Islam film

STRASBOURG (AFP) — The EU parliament prevented the showing on Wednesday of an anti-Islamic film made by far-right Dutch MP Geert Wilders, bringing cries of censorship from the British eurodeputy who organised the screening.

"The banning of this film is a direct attack on free speech," said British MEP Gerard Batten, who had organised the event, though officials pointed out that parliamentary leaders had banned the film from being shown in their Strasbourg building back in March.

"A parliament that constantly talks of freedom, democracy and tolerance has shown once again that these are empty words when it does not agree with what is being said," added Batten, a member of the eurosceptic UK Independence Party (UKIP).

The 17-minute film called "Fitna," which in Arabic means war, or division, in the heart of Islam, has been called "offensively anti-Islamic" by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

A spokeswoman for the parliament's presidency said the decision not to allow the film to be shown had been taken by parliamentary president Hans-Gert Poettering and party leaders back in March, after it caused "problems" when shown in the Netherlands.

After the Dutch screening there were protests in Pakistan, Iran, Indonesia and Afghanistan.

Featuring shocking imagery of the attacks on New York in 2001 and Madrid in 2004 combined with quotes from the Koran, Islam's holy book, it has drawn protests and outrage in some Muslim countries.

Batten said that at the same time the parliament in Strasbourg was awarding its Sakharov Prize in absentia to jailed Chinese dissident Hu Jia, European party leaders "deny free speech to one of its own members".

Wilders, who was in the parliament building hoping to see the film in a screening room, said he intended to present it during European parliamentary elections next June.

"We are in discussion with other parties," he said, without giving details.

Green group co-president Daniel Cohn-Bendit said his group had been opposed to the ban at the time the decision was taken in March.

"In principle we are against bans," he said, "but the other groups followed the president's decision."

Wilders is the head of the Freedom Party, which has nine seats in the Dutch parliament.

He has called for the banning of the Koran in the Netherlands, calling it "fascist."

Oh I love this, God this had me splitting my sides in laughter and mirth at the fuckwittery that is one Jame Gordon "Cyclops" Brown in a slagging off from the boss of OPEC:

In a speech in London, Mr Brown said "wild fluctuations" in prices in recent years had damaged the global economy.

But Abdalla Salem El-Badri of oil producers body Opec said the PM should focus more on cutting UK petrol taxes.

Mr El-Badri, Opec's secretary general, told the BBC the UK had benefited more than most countries from high oil prices because its taxes on petrol and oil extraction were the "highest in Europe".

"Instead of looking at Opec he should look at his policies and try to reduce taxes," he told the World at One. "Then he can talk to us."

In short one Abdalla Salem El-Badri told Cyclops that the problems were down to him, called him a useless cunt and mocked him to the worlds media.

Mr Abdalla Salem El-Badri I salute you.

Dumb fuck New Labour statement from a typical dumb fuck New Labour minister:

“It is unacceptable for one-to-one tuition to be the sole preserve of the well-off," said Schools Minister Sarah McCarthy-Fry. "We want all children,whatever their family’s income, to get the extra support they need to get back on track."

Well all I can add is that one to one is down to parents to spend the damn time with their offspring. Unless she is advocating a Karen Matthews dump it on the state approach to bringing up of children?

But then this is an MP who is quite happy to flog off our history and hawk HMS Victory off to the highest bidder.

.

My local MP - the libel case losing one Paul Flynn - has been talking about solar power on his webshit and the costs, he freely admits that they are high and calls for "feed in tariffs" or taxes on the plebs to pay for it.

By that argument, we could all have "free power" paid for by an infinite number of hamsters on wheels paid for by "feed in tariffs" 

Mind you as he lives in windy city, or Edward Vii Avenue(Newport) - No 8 -  I guess maybe wind power might be a better option.

After all he creates enough of it....

Gordon shows the true face of his prudence:

The Pound has now suffered its biggest drop since the days of Ramsay MacDonald in 1931. 

In the last year the Pound has dropped by 23% against a basket of currencies. 

The fall is sharper than...

• After the 1992 devaluation after Black Wednesday
• When the IMF was forced to shore up the Pound in 1976
• The 1949 devaluation

Someone please remind the thick fucking cunts who spout the class warrior bullshit that they are the true party of debt. 

They are the true party of broken homes, broken lives, failed businesses, high crime and even the Germans mock Gordons lack of matters fiscal.

The Prime Minister Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, sorry James Gordon Brown today said that all woes will be resolved by public games to keep the mob amused in 2010. Like Nero our Gordon is obsessed with the lower classes although it is debatable if even Nero would have sank to the level of writing to the "stars of X Factor".

Mind like Nero he loves to press the flesh with the rich and famous.

So come on Gordon still waiting for you to say those last words

"Hark, now strikes on my ear the trampling of swift-footed coursers!"

Followed by the knife to the throat and gasping out "Too late! This is fidelity!"

Nero shuffled off this mortal coil on the 9th June, but seriously if Gordon wishes to take a knife to his throat I will offer my services as a latter day Epaphroditos(his private sec. who helped Nero stab himself)

Oh and he need not wait until June either, believe me history will thank him for it. I can also guarantee that there will be no Nero Redivivus Legend

So hands up who remembers this old Labour poster?

Now with banks going belly up - well if they did not have lots of my tax money bailing them out they would be - car companies going the same way, thousands of jobs going each week and our PM gazing into the headlights of recession like some bizarre one eyed Scots rabbit unable to react.

Every one seems to think this recession is going on for a damn long time, yet we have the CML saying that: 

The number of homes being repossessed will rise sharply to 75,000 next year, the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) has estimated.

That would be almost as many as during the peak of the last recession in 1991.

New Labour, cunts. Still now they are in power, lets see them spin the destroyed families, the social unrest, the sheer fucking horror that their fucking ineptitude has inflicted on this land. 

I say again they are cunts, nothing else but.

As of today, British companies have announced the loss of 38,588 jobs in the past two months, 804 of which have come this week. link

Bovine faced Home Sec. Jacqui Smith, has abandoned plans to make the police more directly accountable to their local communities. 

It is questionable whether the Government was ever serious about this measure.

Now the lardy assed one Smith says the intervention of Boris Johnson the Mayor of London with regards Sir Ian Blair the Met commissioner was a factor in her decision. 

Now logically this should have worked in favor of continuing with the legislation rather than scrapping it.

Sir Ian resigned because he had lost the confidence of the elected polticial leader of the capital he served, as well as that of the public whos voices went unheard until Boris said what the majority were thinking. 

So according to Jaquis vague and tenuous grasp of logic (not no mention reality)she is putting forward the idea that a police chief in whom the community has no confidence should just carry on because he has the support of national politicians rather than local support.

The other reason she has called a halt to this is because police chiefs were opposed to it. Well fuck me Jacqui has that bit of logic not sank into the small brain behind your bovine features? Of course they will be opposing it, why would they want some local politican/appointee.

They are hardly going to want some one who is going to raise questions on some cock up and have them answer them on behalf of the locals, what is this a democracy of something?

For those who think our system is not that bad, well I am sure the poor folk suffering under the bizarre rule of Richard Brunstrom.

The Association of British Drivers don't like him much.

Some facts on this odd policeman:

Brunstrom who when appointed announced that he was "going large" on drivers, has put squillions of speed cameras across his zone of control, described people who drive at 32 in a 30mph zone as "yobs"

At one point North Wales finest under his orders nicked some 32,333 speeding "yobs" in just five months. 

Hypocracy:

He called for cars to be fitted with limiters to stop them going over 70mph no matter what the circumstances. Except for the local plod and he also turned a blind eye to the 102 drivers in North Wales Police who were caught speeding.

Privilage:

He drives a 140mph E-class Merc, thanks to North Wales taxpayers. I have no idea if a limiter has been fitted to the vehicle?

Bad Taste:

He is also known for his use of pictures of a man killed in a road accident with permission, calling a press conference to attack a pensioner who had the nerve to complain about a speeding ticket

Stasi tactics:

His juniors attacked a Tory candidate Felicity Elphick for racism, threatening her with a "swift police response" for complaining that they should not put people in the same category as those they dealt with in Caia Park.

Caia Park was a sink estate that had a riot in 2003 between locals and illegal migrants resulting in 80 arrests.

Needless meddling:

Then there was his investigations into racism by Tony Blair and The Weakest Link host Anne Robinson over harmless remarks they had made about the Welsh.

Mad as a box of snakes?

He is in favour of legalising heroin and giving out free needles, been photographed dressed as a Druid! Oh and in what is one of the wettest areas of the UK he handed out free sun tan lotion to officers to protect them from skin cancer

Tough on crime:

Not really. The burglary clear up rate was just 6% at one stage.

Human rights:

Brunstrom planned to muzzle police dogs in case they bite suspects. He issued a manual training warning that the use of dogs "has the potential to breach human rights".

His plan was that instead of biting, the dog could launches itself like a missile at the suspect. Sgt Ian Massie explained "It is one of the additional options open to us to muzzle our dogs an get them to use a headbutt."

Missile police dogs! Sadly the chance to vote out and replace this nutter with someone who will improve on burglary over proper crime like "yobs" who drive at 32 Mph has been pissed away by the kebab eating, lard arsed Home Sec. with the saggy udders and bovine face.
