Cash point theft

2009-01-17T06:38:00.000-08:00

Am I the only person who believes the police should pay a visit to the houses of each of those people photographed in a queue to withdraw cash from an ATM, which was dispensing twice the amount requested, and arrest their sorry asses for THEFT?

The Special Relationship

2009-01-14T06:49:00.000-08:00

We have long had a so-called 'special relationship' with the USA.

I don't mean agreeing to invade Iraq so our leader can get some shiny new bling.

What is Gordon Brown up to though?

We're just about to have a new president inaugurated and GB is doing his best to piss off the yanks almost every time he speaks.

"started in America" is all he seems to be saying (apart from the countless other soundbites and yes, I know that didn't really work!)

If he constinues blaming America for the world's problems he may as well rip up his invitation to the ceremony.

Maybe we're next?

I will save your job

Hmm,

So the great one is now going to guarantee that the redundant will not be left to languish on the dole "on his watch".

Not as if we haven't got probably the largest number of people on benefits ever in the history of the UK already.

The Achieve Nothing party

2009-01-09T04:19:00.000-08:00

Nice quote from Gideon -

"He can support the radical action needed to limit the effects of the recession or he can continue to achieve nothing."

The tide seems to be slowly turning. From being sick of hearing Broon and his lackies chanting the (doubtless Mandelson) line about the 'Do Nothing' party the Tories can turn the tables somewhat with this angle of attack and press home with the new song -

The party opposite is the spend a fortune, rack up billions in debt, hike up taxes but..."Achieve Nothing" party.

Hilarious.

Organs for sale

2009-01-04T15:07:00.000-08:00

I am astounded to read in today's Sunday Times that organs donated in Britain are being offered to foreign nationals who pay up to £75k to have the organ transplanted in an NHS hospital.

Consultants are pocketing a £20k fee for carrying out the operation.

I realise Brown has cocked up the country's finances but this is the last resort.

I carry a donor card but I expect any of my organs to be used to prolong the life of someone in this country and certainly not to be sold on to line the pockets of either the NHS or surgeons.

I rather think millions of donor card carriers have the same opinions.

It's simply outrageous and indefensible.

Bishop to Brown's pawn 2

2008-12-28T12:20:00.000-08:00

At long last someone prepared to stand up and be counted.

Much as I disagree with the majority of what religions are all about (witness what's occurring in the Middle East at present) they at least have the bottle to criticise the government's woeful attempts to resolve our economics problems.

I'm not sure they should be meddling in politics but they are right to describe the Labour party's policies as scandalous.

Zanu Labour then defend themselves by saying the Tories would reduce public spending resulting in the closure of schools and hospitals. Hmm, a few less of those ridiculous false townhall jobs monitoring what shouldn't need monitoring in the first place would save us the future tax rises in store.

Brown's bungle

2008-12-25T02:24:00.000-08:00

Having seen the news that Zavvi is going into administration Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling must be very pleased with themselves.

MFI, DFS, Woolworths, Zavvi, Whittards, The Officers Club to name but a few - they've all benefiited from Superman's efforts to save the world.

The 2.5% reduction in VAT has been just the ticket for these retailers. This must be the thin end of the wedge and but a small taste of the increasing success of the Brown rescue package.

They really must swallow their pride and think again before it's too late.

Brown has new scapegoat

2008-12-18T01:05:00.000-08:00

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/analysis-and-features/madoff-was-wall-streets-regulator-asleep-at-the-wheel-1202338.html

What a stroke of luck.

After all these weeks blaming the Americans for starting it all here is proof positive that Gordon and Peter can spread all over the fawning press which adores him so.

Not only are their statements given more gravitas they also become more prophetic in the 'Moses' style as we now have a proper villain to blame.

Now there is no need to point the finger at a vague country 3,000 miles away. No. Now we have a specific target for all the woes of the British economy.

Quick, book advertising space. What's that? We already have? Oh

Europe and the non referendum

2008-12-15T01:45:00.000-08:00

So Caroline Flint (and, therefore, our dearly beloved government) reckon the Irish didn't really understand the issues at stake when they voted in their referendum.

Hmmm. Three things spring immediately to mind:

1 - Patronising, to say the least.
2 - Whether they understood it or not, they voted, they decided and they should not have to submit to another
"Are you really sure dear" process.
3 - Let us see if we can understand it any better Ms Flint.

I rather think she wouldn't like the answer.

Germany v UK

2008-12-11T04:18:00.000-08:00

So we don't agree with the German politicians who have a slightly stronger position from which to view the recession than we have after all the wasteful spending of the last 11 years.

Ed Balls patronisingly offers the opinion that it's 'all internal arguing dear. Once they've kissed and made up they'll cometo the conclusion that Super Gordo's in the right.

Jacqui Smith disagrees with them - well there we are then. In a nutshell. We're OK because her knowledge of economics is second to none in Europe, well Home Economics anyway.

They just seem incapable of accepting that maybe they're wrong. How dare anyone think otherwise.

Gordon Saves the World

2008-12-10T08:10:00.000-08:00

So Gordon Brown finally admitted it today in front of the whole country...

The whole reason the country's going down the pan is that he's been too busy getting up in the middle of the night (without disturbing Sarah) putting his underpants on over his pyjamas and flying off to the far flung corners of the world to put his enormous intellect to use and save the planet.

Meanwhile, back at base, the rest of us mere mortals have to put up with liking it or lumping it.

Dave dares to criticise the superhero and is threatened with detention and 100 lines of "I must pay more attention in Economics lessons"

Anyone else wish we had a cadre of professional beaurocrat 'ENArchs' as they do in France - at least we'd have some faith in the system.

I can't help thinking of the words wool, eyes and pulled.
