I Fuckin' Hate Pikeys

But more than that, I hate the way that Councils pay for them.

When the fuck was this EVER considered a good, or a fair principle? These people contribute literally fuck-all to society. They don't pay tax, they don't pay NI, they don't pay for road tax, insurance, or MOT of any of their transit vans/caravans, often they trash the sites that are provided for them (usually with burnt-out cars and old matresses), if they work at all it's as cowboy builders fucking up local residents houses which they'll then steal from. It's a fucking travesty that some handwringing fucktard once decided to pay for their existence from MY taxes.

A travellers camp funded by taxpayers is a "waste of money", according to a councillor who claims it has stood virtually empty since it was built.

The site in Kings Weston Lane, Avonmouth, has been used by just three groups of travellers this year, with five in 2007 and four in 2005, according to Bristol City Tory councillor Spud Murphy.

It was set up seven years ago at a cost of about £630,000 to provide temporary and free accommodation for up 20 families, with estimated annual running costs of £30,000.

Leaving aside the possible lack of credibility of a Councillor called "Spud", this is not small change that is being spent on this worthless scum.

It provides 20 concrete pitches with electricity points for caravans, as well as toilets and showers.

Basically, what normal hard-working folk (who are stupid enough to enjoy caravanning, I might add) are expected to pay for, but these filthy little shits get for free.

What the fuck. Seriously. Who ever decided that pikeys were a worthy cause?

And who the fuck are you?

So, the Church, however irrelevant they are now, have slagged off the government.

Leg-Iron has blogged an excellent post about it here.

So, which powerful troops have the Labour party wheeled out to combat these attacks, armed with spin and useless tractor statistics? Jackboots? The great Gorgon Himself?

Nope.

Liam Byrne, whose greatest accolade appears to be to write stupid unfunny demands lists for his staff, and Stuart Bell (who I've never fucking heard of). Fucking hell, I bet the church are quaking in their shoes aren't they, with those heavyweights "rejecting" their claims?

This is where it ALL starts

Right here,

Film-style age ratings could be applied to websites to protect children from harmful and offensive material, Culture Secretary Andy Burnham has said.

Really. And how do you suppose this will be implemented? "Click here, but only if you're 18. Promise you won't cheat, now." Nanny software to "protect kids" already exists to install on computers. There are already ratings systems for websites but this is almost impossible to enforce. This implies then that the only option left is for the systems to be introduced at source, at the ISP.

Now, what do you suppose this could be a precursor to?

Mr Burnham, a father of three young children, believes internet service providers should offer child-friendly web access.

And how would an ISP tell whether a child is browsing the internet or not? It can't. So that means this Stasi cunt wants to give all people in the UK "child-friendly" access. What if I, as an adult, want to view a beheading video? Or Porn? I won't be able to if this utter mong has his way.

And it might start with blocking beheading videos, but what else could be blocked in the future?

Pornography?
Global Warming denials?
Anti-Government websites?

Christ.

Apparently we're still to trust them though:

He insisted he was not trying to curb free speech, but wanted to protect the public from "unacceptable" material.

Won't somebody think of the children?

Oh, and who do you suppose decides what is "unacceptable" and what isn't? I reckon Jackboots.

How chav can you get?

Apparently now, shooting paramedics is seen as an excellent way to spend your time by chavs.

Jesus christ, what is fucking wrong with these people?

"Can-Do" Attitude

So, Gorgon has promised a "Can-Do" attitude will get us through this financial mess.

Well, that's just fine then. Hip-fucking-hooray, we're saved. Guess that means none of us need to worry any more?

Never mind the fact that you and Badger-Brows have done a breathtakingly awful job of running the economy so far, you pair of deluded Trotskyist cunts.

But he tried to strike an upbeat note, pledging investment in key industries and saying the UK could be "a beacon of hope and opportunity" for the world.

Is he serious?!?! What fucking planet is this guy living on? The rest of the world - for your information, you inept fucktard - is laughing in our face. And rightly so, if I lived in another country I'd laugh too. Yes, there is a global economic crisis. But to brag to the rest of the world that we're well-placed to "weather the storm" when in fact anyone with a fucking ounce of sense knows that we're particularly poorly placed compared to other countries due to our levels of debt and borrowing is a monumentally stupid thing to do, and is why the Germans have been only to happy to point it out in the international press. By the way, your response, to have Milliband pooh-pooh it as "internal German politics" (when it clearly wasn't and has since been supported by both sides of German politics) was a particularly fuckwitted decision. As a country we now have even more egg on our face. You're an embarassment to us all.

Look, it's not difficult to grasp. We've borrowed so much money, and our economy and (lack of) industry is in such a state, that other countries don't think that we really have a chance of paying it back and so the value of our currency is plummeting.

We're fucked Gordon. And it's largely your fault. Admit it, and leave.

Internet Explorer Security Patch

There is a solution, you know.

I've bought an Asus Eee and put it on there, I can't recommend it enough. Seriously.

Arrogant Cyclists

Seriously, if I had a pound for every time I've seen a cyclist sail through a red light, firmly believing the laws of the road apply to everyone but him/her, I wouldn't need to work again.

This isn't something motorists say to get back at the anti-car bile spewed by most of these haughty lycra-clad morons (though they deserve it), it's the fucking truth. Barely a day goes by when I don't see this happen - sometimes it's many times a day, both when I'm driving and on a bike. I've even had another cyclist have the fucking nerve to shout at me for stopping at a red light and blocking him from going through. (No, I didn't smack him off his bike, but I fucking should have done). Before I go any further I should point out that there are many perfectly reasonable cyclists (myself included) who obey the laws of the road and I have no problem with. But I think we all know which utter fucking twats I'm referring to.

Still, apparently in Bristol, police are cracking down on it.

They'll have a fucking job. Read the comments section alone on that article (particularly "Alex", who is for all intents and purposes an utter cunt who jumps on every pro/anti car/cyclist topic on that site with glee to wind everyone up) to get a good idea of what the general views of these millitant cyclists are in Bristol. They fully believe they have the god-given right to:

* sail through red lights without even lookoing
* cycle the wrong way up one-way streets
* race as fast as they can along the pavement or through pedestrianised areas, and fuck any pedestrians in the way, frankly
* squeeze through tight gaps in cars, scratching panels and knocking mirrors

and woe betide ANYONE who gets in their way or stops them. And bear in mind this goes on ALL over Bristol, not just the junction they've mentioned in the article. The centre of town is particularly bad for it.

This millitant anti-car cycling contingent is disappointingly vocal in Bristol, and I can sense they'll only make life worse for drivers as time goes on. It doesn't matter if people lambast them for their terrible road sense and complete lack of consideration for other road users or pedestrians, they believe THEY and THEY ALONE are in the right, and nothing will change that.

And finally, when a cyclist sails through a red light without looking and gets hit by an oncoming car (as I'm sure has already happened, and will happen in the future), who do you think they and the other millitant cyclists will blame?

Clue: It won't be themselves, despite being in the wrong.

Absolute cunts.

More Government Contradictions

Saturday 13th December
Despite our own economy heading for the fucking knackers yard, Pakistan are so good, we're going to give them £480m of our hard-earned cash, to fund education, healthcare, etc. (Hat Tip OH)

Sunday 14th December
No, no! Pakistan are very bad, they have links to 75% of the most serious terror plots investigated by UK authorities. We're still going to give them £6m though (you can guarantee that we're the sole financial backers of the "£6m partnership" the BBC makes reference to).

So despite Pakistan being a major base for terrorism we're still rewarding them with £486m. Interesting the government couldn't spare £30m to backdate police pay to the date they should have as it "might affect inflation" (remember that?) - they wouldn't fairly backdate the pay of the very people who are supposed to fucking fight terrorism in this country, but will happily pay SIXTEEN TIMES that amount to a country that seems to be home to half the world's terrorism.

Jesus Wept.

Cabot Circus - what they really mean

Bristol City Council, sit up and LISTEN

Manchester has voted NO to a congestion charge.

Manchester's public transport is fucking YEARS ahead of Bristol's. The trams are excellent, fast, reliable and cheap. The buses are also pretty good (although not so cheap due to being run by First) and STILL the public voted NO by an overwhelming majority.

Our publc transport is third world in comparison to them.

Think about this.

Don't you fucking DARE try and introduce a Congestion Charge here in Bristol. The public transport is so catastrophically terrible that you can never, ever justify it.

You might plan BRT routes and "Showcase" routes - it doesn't matter. Manchester's public tranport will STILL be better and the city's residents STILL don't believe there's justification for one.

You fucking WHAT?

Can you believe the lies are still coming?!?!?!!! This time from that slimey toadying freak, Milliband.

Germany backs Labour's decision to borrow billions to fund tax cuts in a bid to boost the UK economy, Foreign Secretary David Miliband has insisted.

So, who is better to tell us whether Germany backs our decision or not - David Millicunt, or two senior German politicians?

For fucks sake, Milliband - stop taking us for idiots. You utter, utter cunt.

Draft Bristol City Council Revenue Budget Published

It's out.

Council tax to increase by 3.5% - no surprise there.

But what the fuck is this:

£900,000 to meet the rising cost of waste disposal as a result of landfill taxes and charges.

Taxes and charges from the fucking EU. Another reason to tell them to fuck right off.

£400,000 extra to market the city nationally and internationally to
encourage more business investment and to provide residents with more information about local services.

This is clearly the biggest fucking waste. What the fuck do we need to "market the city" for, and why the fuck should we pay for it? You stupid, pointless cunts.

£300,000 to employ more staff in our customer services centres and
improve the way we answer calls about housing and benefits services.

Shows how many phone calls they get from people about their "benfids", frankly.

£470,000 to deliver more frequent and better quality grounds maintenance, grass cutting and shrub clearance programmes – and strengthen parks patrols across the city’s green and open spaces.

What the fuck - what is so bad about Bristol's green space currently that it needs £470,000 to fix it? They hardly have the best reputation recently with Green Space anyway.

This increase is expected to be well within the government’s guideline limit and is likely to be lower than increases set by many other authorities in the South West and elsewhere in England.

Yeah, well, we'll see about that won't we. I'll be keeping a close eye on other authorities rises. Just because you say it, it doesn't make it so.

It IS Gordon's fault

The Telegraph puts it better than I can.

Flash Gordon

Well, someone had to a do a remix - may as well be me.

John McDonnell - standing up for the country's lazy and feckless

Here:

A left-wing Labour MP has warned of widespread opposition to proposed reforms aimed at getting more people into work.

Claimants will have to do some form of work or prepare themselves for finding a job in future if they want to receive benefits, ministers have indicated.

The proposals will be outlined in a White Paper on Wednesday.

They are expected to include penalties for people who turn down reasonable job offers or job interviews, potentially including the loss of benefits or mandatory community service.

All in all, sounds good to me.

But not to hand-wringing John:

"It is lunacy to force people into jobs that are not there and to force lone parents to take up childcare which is either unaffordable or non-existent," he said.

"There is widespread and growing dismay at the government's dismantling of the welfare state built by the post-war Labour government."

It's hard to contain my anger at reading such apologist shite. How the fuck can he talk about "forcing people into jobs that are not there"? The fucking article talks about penalties for people who turn down reasonable job offers or interviews. That means the jobs are there, you fucking moron.

It's because of Socialist arseholes such as this character that we have a huge underclass of people who can't be bothered to work. And he seems to want to keep them there - he obviously understands the need for votes from the workshy and the feckless.

The dismay will only be "widespread" throughout the population of lazy worthless scum as they realise they might have to actually work for their money rather than sit back on the sofa and expect it to be given to them.

Well, fuck them, frankly. I'm fed up with working my arse off every day so others who simply can't be arsed don't have to. And fuck you too, John McDonnell, for supporting them.

These people need a carbon footprint to the fucking face

Here:

Flights at Stansted airport have been delayed after more than 50 protesters occupied a secure area near the runway.

Climate action group Plane Stupid said it started the protest at 0315 GMT by breaching security.

Oh for fucks sake, here we go again.

Ms Kember said she was "incredibly apologetic" that passengers had been affected, but added: "The effects of climate change are going to be monumental."

So now apparently, the great unwashed have the right to stop people excersising their free will to travel to destinations of their choice. Hundreds of families and business people who have all paid money to fly on a flight are having their days ruined by a bunch of self-important cunts. How do you explain to your kids they're going to have to spend the next 7 hours at the airport because some people who have no jobs and nothing better to do with their time feel like imposing their beliefs on people?

Do these people not fucking realise that the more you ram all this climate change alarmist nonsense down people's throats, the more and more apathetic they will become? It's like all the bullshit about unplugging mobile phone chargers when you're not using them. Mobile phone chargers are Switched-Mode Power Supplies, which means that when there isn't a phone plugged into them, they don't draw any power. Even when there is a phone plugged in, the power drawn can be barely measured. We need to fly places - how else do these fucking twats assume we can get to America if we need to? By boat? A little more fucking common sense is required here.

I accept climate change is happening, I accept that humans probably contribute to it (though we're not the sole cause) but I also firmly believe that it's used conveniently as a form of money-grabbing by governments and the IPCC, which I find despicable. I also think that the alarmism has got WAY out of hand and we really need to get a grip on things.

"It's the football"

Why is it that every Saturday during Football Season the roads go to fucking shit in South Bristol? Cumberland basin is the worst - the most appalling parking I've ever seen goes on here. People parking in one of the fucking lanes of the dual carriageway forcing all the traffic into one lane, on pavements, on corners - parking generally like absolute retards. Normally the police and parking wardens would have a field day, but apparently it's OK because

...it's the football.

So fucking what? If a load of knuckle-dragging "missing links" want to pay ridiculous sums of money to stand in the freezing cold shouting themselves hoarse and watch people kick a ball around a field that's their choice - but why the fuck should they be awarded special "mong parking" dispensation because they can't be arsed to park properly and walk?

It might be argued there isn't enough parking at the ground but quite frankly that's not the fucking problem of the residents who then can't park outside their house when there's a match on. (An RPZ wouldn't solve this as the hours of operation wouldn't include Saturdays for this very reason).

The worst thing of all of this is that when the Bristol Balloon Fiesta was on, people who had parked similarly on the dual carriageway of Cumberland Basin were ticketed and then towed away - by the police.

Why the FUCK aren't they out there RIGHT NOW towing away all the fucking plebs who have parked like retards? They could make a fortune. Just what have Bristol City Football Club offered to the Police and Bristol City Council to get them to turn a blind eye?

Some FOI requests are in order I think.

Oh fuck....

Many bloggers such as Guido and Obo are picking up on an ammendment to the Banking bill:

Section 6 of the Bank Charter Act 1844 (Bank to produce weekly account) shall cease to have effect.

What does this mean? In short, that the Government no longer want us to know how much money the Bank of England is printing. This can only mean one thing - they're planning on printing shitloads of it. We are fucked.

As Wikipedia says:

The main cause of hyperinflation is a massive and rapid increase in the amount of money, which is not supported by growth in the output of goods and services. This results in an imbalance between the supply and demand for the money (including currency and bank deposits), accompanied by a complete loss of confidence in the money, similar to a bank run. Enactment of legal tender laws and price controls to prevent discounting the value of paper money relative to gold, silver, hard currency, or commodities, fails to force acceptance of a paper money which lacks intrinsic value. If the entity responsible for printing a currency promotes excessive money printing, with other factors contributing a reinforcing effect, hyperinflation usually continues. Often the body responsible for printing the currency cannot physically print paper currency faster than the rate at which it is devaluing, thus neutralizing their attempts to stimulate the economy.

Which in short, is what happened in Zimbabwe.

Fuck sake, it seems each week we discover a new level of stupidity within our government. The hand-wringing bearded Trotskyists seem happy to take their social experiment to the bitter end.

Also further down the Wikipedia article:

Governments will often try to disguise the true rate of inflation through a variety of techniques. These can include the following:

* Outright lying in official statistics such as money supply, inflation or reserves.
* Suppression of publication of money supply statistics, or inflation indices.
* Price and wage controls.
* Forced savings schemes, designed to suck up excess liquidity. These savings schemes may be described as pensions schemes, emergency funds, war funds, or something similar.
* Adjusting the components of the Consumer price index, to remove those items whose prices are rising the fastest.

None of these actions address the root causes of inflation, and in fact, if discovered, tend to further undermine trust in the currency, causing further increases in inflation.

(the last option on the list is pretty much standard form for the government now).

Anyone else considering emigration? It's looking like a more attractive option every month. Global problem my fucking arse.

Never were truer words typed

The greatest threat to the future of the Labour Party is prosperity. Apart from a few tens of thousands of votes from eccentric aristocrats and Guardian-reading, middle-class sentimentalists, Labour depends on the votes of two categories of people; state employees and the poor. It is in the interests of the Labour Party to maximise the numbers of both.

From The Last Ditch

As I suspected all along.

Karen Matthews and that bloke with the dodgy eyes have been found guilty of kidnapping Shannon Matthews.

I always suspected that they were after their own version of the Maddy McCann fund, but were too pikey and stupid to pull it off. In fact, I posted

Anyone else suspect they were all in on it, hoping for their own "find Maddy fund"?

Fucking pikey mongtard council-estate-dwelling scum!

on GrumpyCunt.com right back in April. Turns out my suspicions were correct.

Anyone else remember the "celebrations" outside the Matthews household when Shannon was found, with all the locals drinking cans of Carling and a disco set up outside? You'd never know it was a pikey council estate!

My Debt to Labour

More self-congratulatory bollocks

What the hell is the music used as well?

How is Lord Laming the man for the job?

How come the government, along with that utter moron Blinky Balls (barely able to string a sentence together on the press interview video) expect us to just trust what Lord Laming says, given the criticisms quite rightly levelled at him in the Victoria Climbie case?

Lord Laming headed the department in Hertfordshire at the time of the 1990 case, which led to the Local Government Ombudsman making a finding of "maladministration with injustice", the strongest criticism open to him.

Yeah OK, so he's going to be "independent" then, isn't he. About as "independent" as Lord Goldsmith on the decision to invade Iraq, and as "independent" as Lord Hutton on the death of David Kelly?

Why the fuck do the government just assume we'll trust the outcome if it's come from one of their mates?

For fucks sake, they really do think we're stupid, don't they.

Who'll be on the list?

Mandelsnake is going to be devising criteria for choosing which businesses and industries are of enough importance to the UK economy to warrant being saved.

Essentially, I'm guessing he'll end up with a list of the companies the government is willing to bail out.

Will this just be a list of companies that have donated to the Labour party?

Why yes. Yes, I think it will.

Duplicitous cunt.
