Feared?

Typical emotive story from the BBC:

Hundreds of people are feared dead after at least one boat packed with suspected illegal migrants heading for Europe sank off the coast of Libya.

If they were illegal migrants, why would their death be feared? Serves them right for trying to illegally enter the country, frankly.

If the CAP fits...

(see what I did there?).

The Devil's Kitchen has drawn my attention to a fantastic video.

No surprises there then:

Via LobbyDog:

Although it'll be confirmed today, it's looking like all MPs expenses will be published on Thursday afternoon.

Publication has been delayed for a long time due to wrangles over FOI requests.

We won't get all the individual receipts yet, but we'll get a decent idea of what was claimed in 2007/08.

The more cynical among you will note that the next day Parliament closes for Easter Recess.

That means by the time hacks have worked out who spent what on what, most MPs will have left London and be that little bit harder to reach. How convenient.

It's also the day all the G20 summit news will be published, a good day to "bury bad news".

Fucking troughing cunts.

Draper vs. Guido - some points

The video of the interview can be viewed here.

1) Draper looks like Jarvis Cocker after spending a night sleeping on a park bench.
2) Draper claims Labourlist is totally independent from the Labour Party - I rather think not, given all the Labour MPs that write articles on there.
3) Draper says "We publish every year who finances us...we haven't published it yet." How fucking convenient. I'm reliably informed Unite provide financial support (which is the "Trade Union" he mentions), which just means cash that was going to go direct to the Labour Party has gone to LabourList instead, which pretty much equates to LabourList being supported by the Labour Party, when you think about it.
4) On this point, who are a few "independent Labour people"?
5) Draper seemed remarkably aware of what was going to be asked of him, even to the extent of asking him a question that Andrew Neil hadn't asked him yet - funny that.
6) Draper didn't do a very good job of avoiding the Damien McBride question - I await the publication of the alleged document with interest.

My opinion: Draper is a whining, arrogant cunt. GUIDO 1 DRAPER 0

God will punish us, apparently

According to the Archbishop of Canterbury, who is drawing tenuous links between climate change and religion in order to maintain a false sense of relevance with the wholly irrelevant church.

God will not intervene to prevent humanity from wreaking disastrous damage to the environment, the Archbishop of Canterbury has warned.

Really? Or could that just be because God doesn't exist?


A paedophile (judging by the beard and glasses), earlier

Dan Hannan bitchslaps Gordon Brown

Seriously, we all owe this guy a pint.

Paranoid Retards

So, more people are complaining about Google's Streetview, as some faces are publically identifiable, and more often than not, people don't like the fact there's a photo of their house on the internet.

Seriously, what the fuck are people getting so worked up about? It's one photo taken at one moment in time - does it really fucking matter? Really? Christ, I know I'm the first to complain about invasions of privacy (usually from the state) but this is just a step too far. My current house is not included on there but my previous house is, complete with the car parked outside. And do you know what? I couldn't give a fuck. My house just looks like a house with a car outside, with both registration plates blurred. There's nothing of use to someone wanting to break in there, apart from the possible deterrent (although not much!) of an alarm box on the outside.

I haven't seen a face that hasn't been blurred and yet is particularly identifiable. And even if it was, does it matter? It just means you were walking down that street at a certain (unknown) particular time on a certain (unknown) partiuclar day, over 6 months ago. This is a world away from CCTV cameras which are constantly updated.

Meanwhile, tons of Google Image searches bring up people's faces, such as here, and on high-traffic websites such as here and here. Are we going to have to start blurring these photos as well?

And what makes people think everyone is going to be flocking to view their insignificant house?

Chalk on pavement = Criminal Damage, but only when you question the state

Reports the Bristol Evening Post here.

A Bristol student has been charged with criminal damage after writing civil liberties slogans on a pavement in chalk, police confirmed today.

I wonder if he'd have been arrested if he was drawing a hop-scotch pattern on the pavement? Maybe the slogans he wrote were offensive?

The first read: "Liberty. The right to question it. The right to ask: Are we free?"

The second said: "As the buildings go up, the wages go down."

Nope. Maybe the chalk was somehow permenant?

Paul Saville, 23, a second-year sociology and criminology student at the University of the West of England, is alleged to have written two messages on pavements in Broadmead using water soluble chalk.

Nope.

How can it be criminal damage if he hasn't damaged anything?

Careful what you say about the state.

Josef Fritzl's Lawyer

Blimey, who'd have thunk he was employing Paul Whitehouse?

Global problem....blah blah....started in America....blah blah.

....well placed to weather the recession...blah blah mwah mwah mwah (Charlie Brown's Teacher noise)

Bollocks.

I trust the IMF more than I trust this bastard government and they say we're fucked.

The recession will last longer in the UK than in any of the world's other major economies, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has predicted.

But then we knew that, right?

Stop fucking lying to us Gordon.

A letter to Gordon Brown

A frankly genius piece of work from Old Holborn.


Gordon Brown
10 Downing Street
London

Notice of the People’s Reclamation of the land of Great Britain


Dear Gordon Brown

Please read this letter very carefully. It is a notice. It means what it says. It requires no response as its content is a statement and is not negotiable.

I did not write this. Who wrote these words is not important. What is important is what they say. What is important is that I feel them as though I’d written them myself. What is important is that I know that, as you read them, I know that I am one of many all joined in thought at this time. All knowing that each and every one of us feel these words and have come together in this way to show you who we really are.

I know that right now, you live in denial. Because you know, like I know, that something is terribly wrong. It matters not anymore. What matters, is that you confront your denial and admit to yourself that for all the good you may feel you can do, in reality you can do nothing. You do not really know what to do.

But that is of no significance because now you need not do anything. Becoming a politician was your downfall, because it has restricted you along with all the other politicians who, like you, can do nothing to stop what is and what will be. I know who controls you, dictates to you, funds you and owns you. They always will because you lack the strength to stand against them and join the ones who elected you.

It is us, the people who ultimately will show you that we elected you and all your colleagues to govern and protect us from the loss of our Natural Born Sovereignty. We elected you just like we elected all before you and they let us down just like you have. You possibly didn’t mean to, you just did. We elected you because you were one of just a handful we in turn were presented with. We had no choice but to elect one of you. That is not democracy.

You, like all the rest before you could not, and never will, be able to give us what we elected you to do. We elected you to abide with us in our freedom that we may live in a country of warmth, safety and prosperity. It is my belief that we as human beings deserve to live our lives the way we choose, in a responsible and respectful manner toward our fellow beings on this land, and to share our warm welcome with others from far lands, and to move freely in our own world in peace.

You and those before you care not for us. You care only for yourself and never listen to the real voice of the people you consider that you govern. So it is now time for us, the people, to take back what you have taken from us. Our Natural Inalienable Rights of the Common Law of this land which you and all those before you chose to take from us, and then offer back to us in the form of privileges. You stole our children from us, and kept us from the knowledge of how you did it. You used this knowledge and created us as legal fictions called ‘persons’, in order to entrap and enslave us in the debt which you have accrued over time with a privately owned corporation known as the Bank of England.

Fleet Law, the law of the waters, does not apply to human beings on the land. You have used this law and with sleight of hand, using meanings to words which only you and your society understand, in order to cheat us from our liberty and our freedom.

You and all those before you have created a complex inter twined society of secrets to which we are not invited. You use these secrets to cheat us and lie to us in order to keep us in fear and guilt and hate. You manipulate us that we may fight each other, police each other, resent each other, thus distracting us from what is real. And the truth is that we are real. We are conscious flesh and blood human beings with a living soul.

We abide by the Common Laws of this Land and never knowingly cause loss, harm or injury to another fellow being. These are the only Laws by which we need to be governed. Your fictional Statutory Rules are becoming an obsession for you, and all those who support you in them. We take the view that you have no soul, no compassion, no empathy and no love for your fellows. Therefore you either have no soul, or you live in the pain of not knowing who you are.

So here and now let it be known to you and your peers that no army in this world can stop us from taking back our birthright. We will not fight you with guns. We will not riot and thus give you the excuse you and your masters desire in order to enslave us further. We will not fight you physically at all. We will fight you with what we possess – knowledge and Common Sense. In doing so we will take down your agents and judiciaries, because we know their workings, and we know what to say to them and we know what to write to them. We know the right questions to ask. We know how to pose unanswerable questions to which Common Sense and the rule of Common Law are the sole answers.

We will now live our lives the way we wish, and you cannot stop us. You have twisted words and used them against us to gain your false power. We now take back those words and use them against you in their natural and most powerful meaning and understanding. False Statutory Rule will fall as it is fiction created by you and the ones before you, and all that it has created will fall with it.

We no longer accept your rule.

We will not fight you or cause chaos on our streets.

We will not fight each other

We will not join your armed forces

We will not fight beings from other lands on your behalf

We will not join your police force

We will not pay your taxes

We will not listen to your lies

We will not register our newborns

We will not force our children to do that which they do not want to do

We will not join another nations rule

We will stand by and protect our sovereignty

We will protect our land from the oppression of other lands and their leaders

We will force your system to shut down and fail

We will never allow your system to rise again

We will stop the cash flow through your privately owned banks

We will educate others of your secret societies and corrupt business of ruling

We will create our own freedom

We will remain peaceful at all times

We are implacable

We are honourable

Without us your system is nothing. Your system cannot function without the people who make it work. We are the people who work in your corporations. We are the people who work in your courts. The people who work in your shops and your offices and your transport network and your postal service. We are the moving parts of your machine and we will stop your system from working.

We have the power to do all of this and you know this is the truth. You knew this was coming all along. You were waiting for this. It releases you from your pain. If you have a backbone you will stand down from your position and join us. If you are true to your people you will do this. If you wish to lead us, then join us. Stand up to the ones who control you and tell them you believe in your people.

I am one of many and the many are growing by the day. Join us in our freedom if you will. The door is open to all human beings, if indeed you are one.

Sincerely without ill-will, frivolity, or vexation,



Free

Squatters - filthy immoral thieving scum

There's been a case recently of 50 squatters taking over a £3m mansion in Clifton, it's now reported they've moved out, but their weak justifications for their actions are enough to boil anyone's piss.

Jake Eisenstein, 27, who described himself as a "professional squatter" said about 100 people attended the meeting.

"We took over this building to hold an international meeting of squatters," he said.

Professional waster, more like. What an arrogant cunt. These people justify their actions, only to themselves, by sort of viewing themselves as some sort of a modern-day Robin Hood. In truth, they're jealous Marxists of the worst kind, as they don't have a job, can't be bothered to work, but expect someone else to put them up or provide them with a house. They are jealous of what people work hard to have, but don't want to work themselves to get it.

Miriam Green, one of the squatters, said: "It is his house, yes, but it's his house for development and the real issue here is that many of us, myself included, will not be able to afford to get onto the property ladder.

Maybe Miriam, you grasping cunt, you could do us the common fucking courtesy of explaining why it is his responsibility to provide you with a house? Why should he even care whether you can afford to get onto the property ladder? I can't afford to get onto the property ladder at the moment, so do you know what I do? I rent, which I pay for using the money from a JOB I have. I don't suppose you'd consider doing the same would you?

I'm still surprised in this day and age that squatting is legal providing you haven't broken in. If you kick the door in to a property and come back a few days later and "find it already damaged", how can the police prove anything? Or worse, break a window, move in, then repair it?

The Hollywood Post

So, I've been tagged by The Bristol Blogger to do Kerry McCarthy's "list of DVDs Obama gave to Gorgon".

The films are: Citizen Kane, The Godfather, Casablanca, Raging Bull, Singin’ in the Rain, Gone with the Wind, Lawrence of Arabia, Schindler’s List, Vertigo, The Wizard of Oz, City Lights, The Searchers, Star Wars: Episode IV, Psycho, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Sunset Boulevard, The Graduate,The General, On the Waterfront, It’s a Wonderful Life, Chinatown, Some Like it Hot, The Grapes of Wrath, ET: The Extra-Terrestrial and To Kill a Mockingbird.

You get 1 point for seeing it, 2 points for owning it.

I've seen Citizen Kane, The Godfather, Schindler's List, The Wizard of Oz, Star Wars: Episode IV, Psycho, 2001: A Space Odyssey, ET: The Extra Terrestrial and To Kill A Mockingbird.

I own none of them.

9 points.

I tag (though do not expect to see complete this as it's pretty frivolous) Obnoxio, and Old Bag.

Out of the woodwork come the McCanns

With more sickening arrogance, just as I thought we'd finished with them and I didn't have to listen to stories of their irrelevant daughter any more.

Madeleine McCann was treated as a "commodity" by the UK press, her father Gerry has told MPs.

No, she was treated as a commodity by you, her media whore parents, who were desperate for as many column inches as possible. You employed PR people to handle the whole saga, for fucks sake.

I still reckon they killed her and tried to hide the evidence.

G20 Meltdown

A lot of people are pushing this march on 1st April, including Old Holborn, but I'm in two minds at the moment.

Firstly, yes I believe the bankers and MPs should be protested against, I'd be the first to do that.

But the people organising this march appear to be of the Marxist/Class War/Communist type and my beliefs do clash rather badly with theirs, myself being staunchly anti-communist and all. I think some of the comments on OH's post (which he is ignoring, seeing this as the only chance to get at MPs) have it bang on, especially Revolution Harry, with this:

Having said all that going on this particular 'march' will indeed be counter productive. It will undoubtedly end in violence which is exactly what the authorities want and it'll get us nowhere fast.. We need to be far more creative than tagging along with Class War and Socialist Worker types.

Hmmmm, what to do?

Be honest, Darling, you mean us, don't you

Apparently that incompetent, useless, Marxist prick Darling has called on the richest countries to increase resources to the International Monetary Fund.

The chancellor says some new EU countries face funding gaps and 90m people worldwide will fall into poverty as a result of the financial crisis.

I rather think our country is in a pretty fucking terrible state, you useless streak of piss - due to the way you and Gordon have mis-managed it. Have you checked out the size of our funding gaps recently, due to the money you've been blindly throwing at the banks, with no change whatsoever (other than the huge increas in debt you've saddled us with)?

You fucking cunt, Darling. You bankrupted this country and you don't even care. You won't even acknowledge the fact - instead, the best we get is some vague mutterings about "humility". If you had any humilty whatsoever you'd fucking hang yourself off a lamp-post before Old Holborn got to you.

Gary Hopkins' Bin Tax Plan

So, the owner of Bristol's daftest moustache, Gary Hopkins, has "pledged to improve the city's recycling rate.".

Councillor Gary Hopkins is aiming to push the rate of all recycled household waste up to 50 per cent after it dropped from 37 per cent to 35 per cent over the last two years.

It's worth remembering at this point that Bristol City Council hasn't, doesn't, and won't ever understand the concept of sticks and carrots, only sticks. So this can only mean one thing - we'll be "pushed" to recycle more by making traditional waste disposal either more inconvenient or more expensive, but probably (knowing them) both.

He plans to encourage more people to recycle organic waste such as food scraps and vegetable peelings by offering free corn starch bags to line brown recycling bins.

Here's a bit of help for you Gary - people don't like using the brown food bin because it's fucking disgusting. It's nothing to do with needing a bag to line it. Plus the fact that the concept of it is just completely pointless. What is there to gain from recycling vegetable peelings? Is that going to save the planet? I rather think not.

"We'll knock on people's doors, give them the free bags and show them how to use the system. Experience elsewhere shows that actually works

Go on Gary. I fucking dare you to knock on my door and patronise me about how I'm killing the planet by not recycling potato peel.

"We also want to expand the range of plastics that can be recycled and we are exploring the idea of rewarding people with a council tax rebate if they throw out less waste. This would be a voluntary scheme and would involve measuring the weight of the waste put out by those taking part."

Voluntary to start with. We're not stupid. As Terry Cook puts it;

Make no mistake what Cllr Hopkins would like to do, but wasn’t got the nerve, is to put spys in the bin and fine those who do not recycle.

Just you fucking try it, Gary.

For future information, the "bugs" sit in the round hole in the moulding underneath the lip of the bin. There are many photos on the web showing this.

What a load of sycophantic shit

That's all I've got to say on Brown's message to congress, frankly.

I think a little bit of sick went in my mouth at one point.

Gordon refuses to apologise

That's quite alright, you one-eyed arrogant Scottish fuck-muppet. Most of us with any intelligence hold you accountable regardless of what you say.

And if you did apologise, we'd know you didn't mean it anyway.

The difference between Brown and Obama

Obama stepping off a plane:
He looks like he's about to fight an international invasion of aliens

Brown stepping off a plane:
Whereas he just looks like he's shat himself and is struggling to remember his own name.

Plane Stupid? Plane fucking twats more like

Another day, and yet again, these fuckers are popping up in the news again.

Flights to and from Aberdeen Airport are being delayed after protesters cut through a perimeter fence and barricaded themselves on a taxiway.

Here we go again. These arrogant, lofty, holier-than-thou, sanctimonious cunts now decide they have every right to cause misery to thousands of travellers, but it's all OK because they're justifying it by bleating about carbon emissions.

"We're here to say the expansion cannot happen, and our generation won't let it happen," said Dan Glass, from Glasgow.

Oh really? And what the fucking fuck makes you think that you have the right to represent "our" generation with your ridiculous alarmist opinions Dan? I certainly don't agree with you.

"We are trying to close down the airport. We can measure its success in terms of stopping carbon emissions.

Close down the fucking airport? And what makes you think that the public will support you in this stupid quest? Jesus christ, just go and get a fucking job instead.

"We are here to highlight that aviation is the fastest growing source of carbon emissions."

Really. I'm sure all the passengers sat waiting for their delayed and possibly cancelled flights are really going to thank you for that.

You fucking arrogant cunts.

Road Works

First I've heard of these plans, over at the BBC.

Eight weeks of works costing £120,000 are under way in the Stokes Croft area of Bristol aimed at improving safety for people walking and cycling.

Maybe if Bristol's arrogant "rules-don't-apply-to-me" cycling contingent actually fucking stopped at the red traffic lights in Stokes Croft then they would be safer - this area is well known for people shooting through red lights.

Oh, but of course it's all the car's fault:

Changes are being put in place banning drivers from turning left into City Road or right from Jamaica Street.

A few corrections are needed:

"The scheme is designed to resolve the safety issues and ensure a smoother journey for all."

Make that "..ensure a smoother journey for all cyclists."

Alterations will be made to traffic lights at both Jamaica Street and City Road to help reduce congestion.

Make that "Alterations will be made to traffic lights at both Jamaica Street and City Road to help increase congestion in order to garner public and media support for the planned congestion charge."

However, if they are telling the truth about the lights, and the planned alterations will reduce congestion, does that mean that the current traffic light timings are deliberately set to increase congestion?

Which is it, BCC?

Shirley Brown/Marshall part III

Glory be, the fucking Sun of all people have picked up on the Coconut row. And can you believe the kind of shit that Shirley is coming out with?

But Cllr Brown, who is Bristol City Council’s first black Lib Dem councillor, denies the remarks were meant as a racist slur and says they were taken out of context.

She said: ”I’m not aware my comments were interpreted as a racist remark. How can I be a racist when I’m black?

This just sums up Shirley, and the equalities side of things in general. I'm staggered that she could make such a fucking ignorant comment. So only white people can be racist? I suspect Shirley is quite anti-white and therefore pretty racist herself.

“I said what she was saying was like coconut water - you can either take it or throw it away. And I wanted her to know I was throwing away her comments.

Keep digging Shirley. Of course we believe you.

“At the end of the day there are 70 councillors in that council yet I’m always the one being picked on. If everyone was so offended why did no one say anything at the time?

Oh, how fucking typical. Boo fucking hoo Shirley, you're always being picked on, are you? I rather suspect not. I am also confident that the race card you keep in your handbag is getting VERY fucking frayed round the edges, as you obviously play it at every opportunity.

Seriously, I hope she fucking resigns after all of this, the fucking arrogant bitch.
