Kids Die, the Big Man is Appalled

TB has uttered all sorts of sounds of horror at the news of murder afoot in South London over the past 2 weeks.

The only trouble is his comments sound trite and bored.

TRITE,
AND BORED.
MURDER.

Maybe Iraq has made him a little hard hearted. Hang on, death by bullet is horrifying, so TB can't have been PM when all that kicked off...

Meanwhile his home secretary John Reid has had a very useful session with the London Police Authorities, where they have discussed loads of useful ideas.

I am so fed up with their cant I can't even be bothered to check the exact details of who said what to whom.

However, let DC the comic come charging in with his Point Of View: The Dad's need to be there more.

I don't know how much weight the stereotype of absentee Afro Caribbean father carries, but I do know a number of very loving and caring, professional or otherwise, fathers of African descent, so I guess he can't mean them.

And in rolls Annie Oakley Widdecombe with her reform them in jail banner.

Oh God!!

I think politics is getting just a little too surreal, when David Icke seems to be more sincere than the 'serious' crew.

On Gordon Brown

It always makes me laugh to hear a fat man talk about a lean economy...

But anyway, I want to know why we as an in debt nation of borrowers should get excited about getting further into debt by taking on the expense of hosting the world cup, and make no mistake it will run to a loss, when we are already being told the bid for the Olympics was half of what the current cost estimate stands at, and that is 5 years away!!!

Well, next time I hear someone order a double whopper with cheese and a DIET coke, I will think of Gordy {Though to be honest, I am sure his policy advisors and private secretary would probably order it with mayo too!}, I will think of his his lean economy, and I will think of all that preaching about sound housekeeping and financial prudence we get from our 'betters' in Westminster, not to mention all that crap about carbon footprints, which don't by the way, get reduced by Prestige Development Projects.

If they are hell bent on spending OUR money this way at least don't build it all in a part of the country that will be 40 metres under water when temperatures go up from the carbon produced by the diggers, and then be arsy enough to tax us for global warming.

I COMMEND THIS BUDGET TO THE HOUSE!

Ruth amid the alien gongs

I must admit I don't really know what to say about Ruth Turner getting bonged for the gongs, except there's a couple of smart catchphrases in there.

Maybe this one is just a case of them getting wrong directions on the way to number 10, again, and thinking it was OK to sneak through a private auction fo seats in the House. Why don't they team up with Malcolm Glazier, he seems to know how to get something for a lot and then make the something pa for it all. Maybe they could work out a new tax called vote labour in tax?, use that to make us pay huge amounts for their election campaign and then take all the proceeds from the win, like lecture circuits, holidays abroad at celebrity homes, directorships when they retire from govt, etc. Oh, they already do this. Oh well.

Organic CJD Burgers

When DAFT HEAD Megabland, oh, sorry, this is fact, no need for barely fictitious pseudonyms to avoid legal proceedings, I will startb again.

Gentle Reader,
WHEN David Miliband, the environment secretary, was reported as believing organic food brought no benefit, it reminded me of a certain photo shoot of a conservative minister with his daughter, John Gummer, in which he pushed a beef burger in front of her nose during the BSE crisis back in 1990.

Miliband said: “It’s only 4% of total farm produce, not 40%, and I would not want to say that 96% of our farm produce is inferior because it’s not organic.” The hands of civil servants, the FSA, and the farming lobby in that methinks.

No matter that he has forgotten his future king is one of the largest organic producers in the country, takes it seriously, and does pretty well by it too.

No matter that the Soil Association outlines several benefits for soil, quality of meat and quality of life for the livestock.

From personal experience, I am happy to say I no longer buy tomatoes that taste of fish because chemically that was what they were grown out of, and haven't done for a long time. I can also say that the naturall reared chickens and sheep I ate while living abroad tasted far superior to the crap peddled on supermarket shelves, and I bet you that if you ask anyone who was brought up in a country where you are very likely not going to eat food produced by intensive arming methods, they will tell you the very food Miliband is defending is bland in taste and texture.

So why is he being advised to say something that is so debatably untrue? And why is he listening to the advice?


Mr Gummer looked pretty undignified a the time, so when is some of the teflon coating finally going to let down some of the good politicians in the current government when they talk such dubious propaganda?

Bee Side The Gee Side

No kidding, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, the Empire and Colonies used to carry some degree of dignity. USED TO, that is, and maybe still had some, until The Blairs moved in and put CHINTZ on the MENU.

Cheshire Cats all handed in the notice the day Chavvy Cherie first Grinned at the cameras, and with good reason. The scally dame from Birkenhead has done more to turn the nations highest office into a shame than any prime minister's betrothed before her. Of course, the pair of them being silks, and madame now a recorder in the crown court, they have been teflon coated throughout, and have certainly tested it!! Wikipedia has a whole section dedicated to her Controversies.

However, this is not the place for that!!

This is the place to ask ourselves, WHAT HAVE THE BLAIRS DONE TO DRAG THE OFFICE OF PRIME MINISTER OF GREAT BRITAIN DOWN FROM THE LEVELS OF DIGNITY IT SHOULD STAND HIGH AT?

I really had to open it when I heard the latest - The Blairs are staying in Miami at Robin Gibb's residence, and have had to declare they are pying for it amidst raised eyebrows. Well, that's OK I guess, after all Robin Gibb supported them during the 2005 elections (BBC News report 28DEC2006). But let's take a look over just where they have been on tour, as whose guests, and how that compares to other figures from No.10.

No. 10...

And then, while we are at it, lets log gaffs and embarrassments that have occurred, and try and look back over what standards and protocol we might have expected.
