A Spot of Verse: Illegal Immigrants Poem .....
I cross ocean, poor and broke. Take bus, to see employment folk.
Nice man treat me good in there. Say I need to see welfare.
Welfare say, 'You come no more, we send cash right to your door.'
Welfare cheques - they make you wealthy! NHS - it keep you healthy!
By and by, I get plenty money. Thanks to you, you British dummy!
Write to friends in motherland. Tell them 'come fast as you can.'
They come in turbans and Ford trucks, and buy big house with welfare bucks!
They come here, we live together. More welfare cheques, it gets better!
Fourteen families, they moving in, but neighbour's patience wearing thin.
Finally, British guy moves away. Now I buy his house, then I say,
'Find more immigrants for house to rent.' And in the yard I put a tent.
Everything is very good, and soon we own the neighbourhood.
We have hobby, it's called breeding. Welfare pay for baby feeding.
Kids need dentist? Wives need pills? We get free! We got no bills!
British crazy! They work all year, to keep the welfare running here.
We think UK darn good place. Too darn good for British race!
If they no like us, they can scram. Got lots of room in Afghanistan !

News....
Fallen American. Jules on the Battle of Antietam.
Now even police can't object to gipsy camp in picturesque village...because it's racist. Some councillors need to be 'removed'.
Ofsted said 15,000 useless teachers worked in our schools. Nine years on, how many have been fired? Just 10 The National Union of Teachers has destroyed Britains education system.
More than half of teenagers leave school without core GCSEs, league tables reveal. Thanks to the teachers.
Return of the noose: St Kitts has just hanged its first man for a decade and believes it is the only way to beat violent crime. And they are right.
Even rapists and paedophiles are being let off with a slap on the wrist in a grotesque parody of justice. Another part of British life wrecked by Labour.
National intern scheme to help graduates through the recession. Sounds like slave labour. There again most graduates are as think as s**t and not fit for much else.
BBC rates entertainment over accuracy. Accuracy and the truth have never been the BBC'c strong points.
Family of Afghan rape victim cut her open and removed foetus without anaesthetic. Savages.
Metropolitan Police accused of protecting staff against rape allegations. Protecting their own.
Gaza: international plan hatched to bring back Fatah. Using French and Turkish Troops. I can think of two less trustworthy nations to bring this about.
$3m ransom drops in for Somali pirates. Piracy pays! This is hardly going to discourage future piracy attacks.
Twins not his, but man must pay child support. WTF. I can see this coming over here.
Why are we kept in the dark about OUR war? Good question from Clarkypoos.

Words of Wisdom In Crisis Mode....
The next time the poo hits the fan, remembering some of these eternal words of wisdom will help you tolerate the stench a little better.

9) Someone who thinks logically is a nice contrast to the real world.
10) Things are more like they are today than they ever have been before.

WTF!!!!
Yes it is real.
'A young inventor has created a motorbike with a twist -- it uses two wheels but they are positioned right next to each other, giving it the illusion of being a powered unicycle. And even better, it might help save the planet.
Ben Gulak has spent several years building the electric Uno that uses gyroscopic technology -- like the infamous Segway commuter device -- to stay upright.
The bizarre-looking contraption has only one switch -- on or off -- and is controlled entirely by body movement. The rider leans forwards to accelerate to speeds of 25 mph and back to slow down. It has two wheels side-by-side and has been turning heads wherever it has been ridden.'

Toy of the Day....
Taranis Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) Demonstrator. Let's hope the Government fund the bloody thing. We need it but without a major increase in defence funding we will not be getting a lot of the kit our boys desperately need.

News....
Starved to death in an NHS hospital: Damning inquiry highlights case of patient left without food for 26 days. Someone should face criminal charges for this.
Sainsbury's posts best ever Christmas as shoppers turn to the cut price 'Basics' range. Oh yes. All the supermarkets have raised the prices of their 'basics' by about 25% so do't be fooled into believing they are cheap.
Unmanned stealth bomber could have been UFO responsible for destroying wind turbine. I wish! The odds on our military getting anything unmanned and stealthy are zero.
Pictured: The amazing tin can bomber made by British pilot in Great Escape POW camp. Hopefully it will go to a museum.
Al-Qaeda's Pakistan chief and senior aide killed. Scratch another two. Interestingly their were both Kenyans. Where else have I heard of a Kenyan Muslim?
Iran denounces BBC's new Persian channel. Let the Top Gear boys loose on The Iranians. The Mullahs would be out by the end of the month.
Barack Obama 'open to talks with Hamas'. Talking to Terrorists already.
Nato warning for Russia over 'political' gas crisis. Putin is nothing more than an old Soviet Bully Boy. We must stand up to him.
UN calls for immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The people in Darfur and Zimbabwe must be very 'impressed'. Thousands are being killed in these countries with no hope of salvation from the UN, yet drop a bomb on a Palestinian Terrorist and the 'United Nations' are sticking their nose in.
Whistlestop Brown on the wrong track. There is going to be one hell of a train wreck
