News....
20 ridiculous complaints made by holidaymakers. Funny. (H/T Andi B.)
A third of military families living in sub-standard accommodation, says NAO. The government should have the construction industry fix this ASAP. It will keep builders etc employed and would be money well spent.
Unemployment poised to breach 2m. Make that 6-7 million when all the other forms of 'unemployment' are added up.
English is a second language for one in seven school pupils. How the f**k was this allowed to happen. No wanna speeeka da language, so f**ky offy.
NHS 'Third World hospital' where patients drank out of flower vases: Report reveals appalling care. Jail those in charge and sack all staff who failed in their jobs and make sure they lose their pensions as well. There is no accountability in the public sector and this must change.
UK recession 'worst of all': It will be the only major economy still in a slump next year, predicts IMF. And the year after. Our economy is based on the public sector, finantial double dealing and the high street. Without any form of private wealth creation we are screwed. The last decade was built on debt with no planning for the future.
The Scots pilot suing for racism after being told: 'Your country's a welfare state paid for by the English middle classes'. That's not racism it's a statement of fact.
Russian PM vows to increase nuclear arsenal on the day Gordon Brown says he wants to reduce ours. We might want to increase defence spending and not just for this reason. This century is going to get bloody.
Queen Elizabeth 3 cruises back to the golden age of ocean liners with blazers, boaters, tea dances... and £365m of luxury. Woo hoo.
Ken 'zero-tolerance' Livingstone escapes fine after being caught 'dodging train fare'. Socialists always look after one of their own.
The great betrayal: How the Government is treating the 65th anniversary of D-Day with utter disdain. This government hates our military and it's veterans.
President Barack Obama: Perhaps he can't fix it. . . That's because he hasn't a clue.
YouTube 'spammed by US Congressmen'. You would have though they have better things to do.
Gordon Brown plans to take Barack Obama to Jamie Oliver restaurant Fifteen. Payback for the CDs. Don't think Jamie has many socialist tendencies.
Britain threatens North Korea over planned "missile" launch. What are we going to do? Take them off the Christmas card list.
Wily Tibetan messengers outfox censors of 'Great Firewall' of China. Good for them.
March public order charge dropped. WTF!!!
and finally......
Golfing birdie is sporty star. (H/T DML)
'Bang Bang'......
This video is much better quality than this still suggests. There again if you are not a fan of bikinis and automatic weapons you won't mind.
Dear President Obama,
Thank you for helping my neighbors with their mortgage payments. You know the ones down the street who in the good times purchased their house for no money down, refinanced it several times, then bought SUV's, ATV's, RV’s, a pool, a big screen plasma TV, two Wave Runners, a boat, and a Harley.
I was wondering, since I am paying my mortgage and theirs, could you arrange for me to borrow the Harley now and then?
Signed:
"Concerned in USA"
P. S. They also need help with their credit cards, when do you want me to start making those payments?
P. P. S. I almost forgot - they didn't file their income tax return this year. Should I go ahead and file for them or will you be appointing them to cabinet posts?
