Where's Bob Geldof when you need him? Where's Bonio? As I wrote a couple of weeks ago, if this biblical flooding was happening in some far-flung, Third World country, pop stars would be falling over themselves to record a charity single.
Roadies would be rigging up the sound stage at Wembley and the BBC would be clearing the schedules for a 24-hour live telethon.
My first instinct was to sit down and try to come up with a spoof version of Do They Know It's Christmas? in aid of British flood victims.
But it's such an awful, badly-written song, it's beyond parody.
That's not to say there was anything wrong with the sentiment behind Live Aid, just that when it comes to compassion, charity always begins and ends abroad.
About the only decent line bearing any relation to the original I managed to come up with was:
"And Call Me Dave's in Africa this summer time."
Never mind Saint Bob, where the hell is the leader of Her Majesty's Official Opposition? His constituents may be up to their knees in mud, but CMD is sitting in a mud hut in Rwanda.
Yes, I know this trip's been arranged for a long time but he could have postponed it, if only for a few days, pleading pressing business at home.
I'm sure the Rwandans wouldn't have minded. They're not going anywhere any time soon.
Before jetting off on his latest publicity stunt, Cameron was photographed wading through the flood waters on his own doorstep. Let's hope he wasn't wearing his trendy, recycled trainers, otherwise they'd have been ruined.
CMD's place right now is here in Britain, in his own constituency. He should have been touring the manor in a beaten-up Land Rover, feeling people's pain and dispensing mulligatawny soup and cheese sandwiches, accompanied by Mrs Dave in aristocratic, frayed Barbour jacket, Laura Ashley frock and green wellies.
He should be out there digging drainage ditches in Oxfordshire, not digging latrines in Rwanda. A bit of noblesse oblige might not have gone amiss.
Of course, it wouldn't have made the slightest difference - any more than Gordon Brown flying over the afflicted areas in a helicopter.
But it would have conveyed a sense of getting his priorities right. If there was one time when it wouldn't have done Cameron any harm to behave like an old-fashioned Tory toff, this was it.
In an interview before he left for Africa, CMD said there could be no going back on his crusade for compassionate Conservatism.
OK, old son, we get it. We've seen the pushbike, the windmill,
the team of huskies. How about extending a bit of compassion to those you expect to vote for you next time?
As far as Middle England is concerned, it's not the lack of clean drinking water in Rwanda which is top of their concerns, it's lack of clean drinking water in Tewksbury.
Civil war in Africa is terrible, but it's civil war in the Conservative Party which is CMD's immediate problem.
He won't have endeared himself to those who should be his natural supporters by disappearing off to Kigali while Much Binding-in-the-Marsh disappeared under six feet of water.
The freak floods weren't anyone's fault, but the fallout was. Cameron should have been on his hind legs, on every TV and radio station, asking awkward questions of the Government.
He could have asked Gordon Brown why he gave £8billion in overseas aid to Africa while at the same time slashing millions off Britain's flood defences.
He might have attacked the wisdom of hiring thousands of superfluous 'climate change' officers while emergency planning for a genuine natural disaster has been woefully neglected.
That's what a serious Leader of the Opposition would have done - consoled the victims and doled out a bit of high-profile, practical help, while simultaneously holding the Government to account.
In the middle of a national crisis, he shouldn't go missing, giving the impression that he cares more about Africa than his own backyard.
The time for stunts is over. Call Me Dave has to decide whether he wants to be Prime Minister or a rich man's Bob Geldof.

Pakistan! What are they on?
Salman Rushdie is a pompous, pontificating, smug, self centred git. But he is our pompous etc etc git. He also has a stunningly beautiful wife which is equally irritating.
The frigging Muslims are burning efffigies in teh street coz he has been awarded a knighthood. Why he got one is another story - but he did so that's that.
The Pakistan government has called in our High Commissioner - they say its an insult to Islam.
FFS do they think our civil servants sit around all day thinking of new ways to piss off Muslims!
I think this is just a conspiracy brought about by the effigy makers and flag importers of teh Muslim world to boost sales!
It has to be because people and governments cannot possibly be that pathetically stupid... can they??
I am gonna protest and burn a Pakistan flag in Trafalgar Square ... no problem eh???

Daaaavvvve is a cretin!
"Cameron seeks flexible working rights for all parents"
Dave is sitting in his office and thinking.... "which lot of core Conservative supporters can I really really piss off this week? Last week I got 'em with the Grammar School stuff.. what's next??"
DING! A light bulb goes off in his head and we get the above bollocks. If you run a small business (up to say 25 employees) and you lose a member of staff on a regular basis for a long period of time it has a direct and detrimental effect on your business. You can't just allocate someone else, or ring personnel, or recruit someone who will fit into your business instantly.
This is so unthought out and so provocative it would be laughable if it wasn't so stupid.
Why is he trying so hard to alienate his core support?
Dave you are a prat and if you trying to rush to the left as New labour hurries to the right (with Browns English jobs for English people which would probably have got me arrested if I said it!) you will lose us middle England in the middle of your melee!

This how to campaign locally
Grant Shapps is my MP - he is a new breed and a breath of fresh air as far as I am concerned.
Check out this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYc54HBy1xI
This is only one of many local campaigns Shapps has launched and created. He took the seat in 2005 and is well on course to turn it into a safe Tory seat (7,500 +).
His method of campaigning has (deservedly)won him many votes across party lines.
He is bang on with this particular campaign. He is being supported by BOTH Labour and Lib Dem PPC's. Not only is this particularly clever politically but it demonstrates that the cause is correct.
He has also held public meetings with officials from the local NHS trust and shown that their forward financial planning ranges from non existent to abysmal.
When I have my first heart attack I don't want to have to spend 20 minutes sitting in a traffic jam on the A1 to get to A & E - quite simply the further away an A & E unit is - the more people will die. These are clinical issues being decided by politicians with ulterior motives.
I cant understand why Dave isnt screaming from the rooftops about the blatant political bias in the allocation of money to Labour seats at the expense of Tory ones.
If we had more MP's like Shapps I would be a lot more confident about our ability to win the next election.

Unashamedly nicked from Iain Dale - totally superb!!
Tax Cuts Explained
Thanks to Sarkis Zeronian for this.
TAX CUTS EXPLAINED...
Because it is tax season. . . Let's put tax cuts in terms everyone can understand. Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to £100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.The fifth would pay £1.The sixth would pay £3.The seventh would pay £7.The eighth would pay £12.The ninth would pay £18.The tenth man (the richest) would pay £59.So, that's what they decided to do.
The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. "Because you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by £20." Drinks for the ten now cost just £80.The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the £20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?' They realized that £20 divided by six is £3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay. And so:The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).The sixth now paid £2 instead of £3 (33% savings).The seventh now pay £5 instead of £7 (28% savings).The eighth now paid £9 instead of £12 (25% savings).The ninth now paid £14 instead of £18 (22% savings).The tenth now paid £49 instead of £59 (16% savings).Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free.
But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. "I only got one pound out of the £20," declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man," but he got £10!" "Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a pound, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!" "That's true!!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get £10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!" "Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!"The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

Out of Africa
I give a reasonable amount of money to charidee, I have a reasonable social conscience and am as distressed as the next person by the appalling and dreadful scenes we see coming from the African sub continent.
However, I do not give a penny to anything associated with Africa. The "fix" is in the hands of the Africans already. If the incredibly corrupt leaders of African nations stopped stealing Aid money, or using it buy arms, or provided any help to their own citizens then maybe i would be a tad more interested. While the despots continue to rape, pillage, steal, ignore and kill their fellow Africans (either by bullet or famine/disease) I will not assist them in their desire for slef enrichment and aggrandisment at the expense of their weakest people.
When the "rebel" forces of whichever country we are talking about stop their killing and the "leaders" stop buying 25 Mercs and private planes I will look at teh situation again. Until then Africa operates on the law of the jungle... Survival of the fittest - if I want what you have - I will take it - if i die trying thats my tough luck - if you die thats your tough luck - if it ends up with you and your family starving and dying - thats your tough luck.
This "thinking" has began to permeate certain levels of society in this country as (Somalians, Nigerians etc) certain African immigrant peoples bring this ethos with them to our shores. British Fair Play??? Hah!

Race ...again!!!!
Stranger in my own land.
I do not mind about the colour of faces. I do mind about not hearing English as I go about my daily business in our wonderful Metropolis, I do mind about there being Muslim prayer rooms being built into new office developments (no Christian/Jewish/Hindu etc facilities) because it is easy to do and "keeps them quiet", I do mind about being harassed by Roma gypsies begging with children, I do mind menacing groups of Somalians taking over council estates in Bermondsey, I do mind not being able to order in a restaurant without pointing to the menu, I do mind being served by a "Ninja" with horrible tattoos on her hands in Boots (the chemist!), I do mind when I go into a garage and the people behind the till jabber away to each other in a language i dont understand, I do mind about the "hard working Poles contributing to society" - what do they contribute?? Minimal tax - they dont spend money (maybe one night a week in a pub) they send it all home!! So their financial contribution is minimal, I do care about the family of 80 who moved lock stock and barrel to Slough, I do care that Mohammed is the most popular boys name in the UK, I do care that 50% of the people who live in London are not UK born and that our maternity services are overrun with these people breeding!
It is not being childish to point out that there is a significant minority of ordinary, non racist, people who feel distinctly uncomfortable with the way the immigration/race issue is progressing.
It should be addressed and we should not be cowed by people who scream "RACIST" at the first sign of any desire for dialogue.
It may even be too late now.

London Mayor... again!!
Dave and the boys have just announced the timetable for the adoption of a London Mayoral Candidate. Its such a pile of crap I wont reproduce it here, suffice to say that it should succeed in putting off any sensible candidate at all! Several interviews/selection committees full of arseholes, then hustings (fair enough) then votes by all and sundry!
This is so pathetically humiliating. No self respecting external candidate (anyone who isnt a policy wonk or party apparatchik or a K&C Councillor)ie the only candidate who has a chance of winning, is gonna want to go thru this rigmarole.
A dirty, behind closed doors deal with the right candidate is what is required, a bit of leadership. If Daaaavve thinks that this system will "engage" the electorate he is sadly lacking in the most basic judgement.
This electon will turn the party into (even more of) a laughing stock.
Dont they realise how important the Mayoral race is?

Political bloggers - pile of cack or worthwhile?
I have become addicted to political blogging (of the Tory kind). Most of it is well written, well informed and well intentioned. What i don't know is .. does anybody out there actually care???
They all pontificate about this and that and how it will affect the election and perceptions of Cameron and his government (potential) on a day to day basis. But apart from the chattering classes and the nerds such as myself... who actaully takes any notice? The two million or so voters who actually do decide the outcome of an election? Are they aware of the reams of discussions and and rantings and ravings of a very tiny minority of political activists? In all probability .. no. These important people make their minds up during an election campaign. All these blogs just preach to the converted.
So why do blogs exist at all?? Because they are self perpetuating, the more there are the more people read them, the more the bloggers feel empowered, the more crop up. Some make a fair bit of money out of their blogs (er not this one he he!!) , some are funded by benefactors, such as Conservative Home and 18 Doughty Street. Now Doughty Street has a TV station! It broadcasts for 5 hours every night. What does it show? Bloggers talking to each other about blogging!! It also has policy wonks and apparatchiks discussing politics in its most boring mundane form. Occasionally there is something of interest, such as potential Mayoral Candidate self destructing under some extremely benign questioning.
What is the point of it all??
I don't know ... but I quite enjoy it!!

Call for New "SUS" Law - and Racial Profiling - is it fair?
Whats wrong with ethnic profiling?? I am 40 ish - white, well dressed obviously middle class. So WTF do I get pulled at airports and have to take my shoes off and get turned inside out? When I know and you know and every other bastard knows that potential terrorists have one of the following charcateristics: brown or black,sweaty,straggly beards, shaved heads, sweating profusely and reciting Allah Achbar as they go thru the metal detectors carryiung their rucksacks?
Just stope the people who conform to the above criteria and that will make 90% of travellers lives easier!!
Same applies to Plod - let em stop who they want - if you have nothing to hide .. then fine.
Chances are - if you are a young "tinted" gentleman engaged in a lot of "pimp rolling" and teeth sucking .. you will get a tug. Why? because you statistically may be potentially more likely to be involved in a bit of naughty naughty!!
At the moment fine young criminals (and terrorists) can cruise about without much chance of being pulled for anything at all, so increase the opportunity for Plod to "interract" with the criminal types and this will flush out more troublemakers! Great!
As long as they don't pull either me or my kids of course!!
Thats the real world - get over it!

Scousers at it again!!
Those loveable old rogues the scousers have been up to their old tricks. They weren't allocated enough tickets for their Champions League final game in Athens. Awright laaaddss - weez joost steam ours ways in right?
So thats what they did - just steam their way in - no tickets or anything needed by our good ol boys in Red - just sheer weight of numbers crashing the fences and turnstiles.Brilliant!!
Heysel Stadium - 39 people murdered by Liverpool fans doing exactly the same thing - charging into areas which are full.
Hillsborough - 96 fans died because pissed up Liverpool fans arriving late for the game (some without tickets) charged the gates. The Police got the blame because the loveable old scousers were only having a bit of scally fun. But if they hadn't charged in those 96 would be alive today.
The same disaster was narrrowly avoided last night. UEFA, quite rightly (for once), blame liverpool fans but the media ... no those poor old Victimpool boys they were horribly treated by those nasty stubbly faced Greek police. Scouser scum nearly killed a bunch of their own again and all they can do is whine.
Well, get real Victimpool (minutes silence at Anfield for Auntie Doris dead cat called Paisley) its about time you lost your automatic right to sympathy and faced reality. You are a bunch of whining, thieving, moaning nonames who believe that life owes you a living and a ticket to the game. Well it dont. Try and join the real world where the rest of us have to live all the time.

Boring day today!
Nothing worth ranting about really. Our two Prime Ministers are fartarsing about pretending to be something they are not.
Watched Question Time last night... I think David Dimbleby is losing it, five on the panel is too many, not riveting watching like it used to be. The general public is so strange though! Mind you Clemency Burton-Hill... Jeeeeezzzz .. 25 years old, absolutely gorgeosuly stunningly amazing and a great brain, apparently she is also a concert violinist! Frightening!
The old chestnut of ticket allocation for the FA cup final has raised its head again. Approx 45% of the people at Wembley tomorrow will be neutrals. Its wrong, its a shame, but thats the way it is. Football has chosen to take the money so it has expensive needs and thats that. The FA Cup Final is now an event that everybody wants to see - like a Concert or a Festival, regardless of whether or not they like the teams (bands) they just want to be there.Its the people with the money who get there. On Radio 5 this morning there was a guy who was taking ten of his staff to Wembley for a day out! Sacreligious... but money talks.
The smoking ban is really beginning to irritate me now. The bastard do gooders helf an safety tossers and legislators are at it big stylee. I gave up years ago and I now desperately want to start again! Big stickers on teh entrances to ALL public places - stickers on the dashboards of company cars - including driving instructors cars ! We are so over legislated its quite unbelievable.
Oh yeah! The wanker tosser filth traffic plod in Cumbria are going to put mobile Speed Cameras in front of fixed cameras to nick people as they speed up after passing the cameras. Doesnt that just restore your faith not only in human nature but the Nazi Plod as well. "Safety Cameras" yeah - right - not another tax on the law abiding motorist?? Absolutely not, Cumbria Nazi Plod will save point three of a life over the next four years based on the data collected from ... er Cumbria Nazi Plod... YOUR ARE BRAINDEAD FILF _ LEAVE US ALONE!!!
Watched Question Time last night... I think David Dimbleby is losing it, five on the panel is too many, not riveting watching like it used to be. The general public is so strange though! Mind you Clemency Burton-Hill... Jeeeeezzzz .. 25 years old, absolutely gorgeosuly stunningly amazing and a great brain, apparently she is also a concert violinist! Frightening!
The old chestnut of ticket allocation for the FA cup final has raised its head again. Approx 45% of the people at Wembley tomorrow will be neutrals. Its wrong, its a shame, but thats the way it is. Football has chosen to take the money so it has expensive needs and thats that. The FA Cup Final is now an event that everybody wants to see - like a Concert or a Festival, regardless of whether or not they like the teams (bands) they just want to be there.Its the people with the money who get there. On Radio 5 this morning there was a guy who was taking ten of his staff to Wembley for a day out! Sacreligious... but money talks.
The smoking ban is really beginning to irritate me now. The bastard do gooders helf an safety tossers and legislators are at it big stylee. I gave up years ago and I now desperately want to start again! Big stickers on teh entrances to ALL public places - stickers on the dashboards of company cars - including driving instructors cars ! We are so over legislated its quite unbelievable.
Oh yeah! The wanker tosser filth traffic plod in Cumbria are going to put mobile Speed Cameras in front of fixed cameras to nick people as they speed up after passing the cameras. Doesnt that just restore your faith not only in human nature but the Nazi Plod as well. "Safety Cameras" yeah - right - not another tax on the law abiding motorist?? Absolutely not, Cumbria Nazi Plod will save point three of a life over the next four years based on the data collected from ... er Cumbria Nazi Plod... YOUR ARE BRAINDEAD FILF _ LEAVE US ALONE!!!

HIP's... typical Labour disaster
There is no doubt whatsoever that these are a joke. They perform no useful function for people in the real world. They just create another layer of bureaucrats and inspectors who can enter your house and make a nuisance of themselves.
So why is the Government trying to save them??
Yvette Cooper - (who is married to Ed Balls - who is Gordon Browns number 2) is the Minister driving them, it is her baby. The Cabinet is frightened of standing up to her coz of who her powerful hubbie is.
Yet another despicable, disgusting, lily livered, pathetic, execrable example of self serving politicians not correcting a wrongdoing in order to protect their own skins.
Why am I angry - but not surpised???

Nicked from the Daily Mirror - Superb!
HERE'S WHAT I FIND REALLY OFFENSIVE ABOUT YOU, SCU
OLIVER HOLT 16/05/2007
LAST week, Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore talked about things he found offensive. He's had his go. Here's a different list.
What's offensive is that Scudamore now presides over a league that makes Dodgy Derek's Used Car Emporium look above board.
What's offensive is that Scudamore is so in thrall to the most powerful of his member clubs that they're giving the impression they're making up the rules as they go along.
It's the Wild West in the Premier League that Scudamore built. It's getting to the point where it feels like anything goes.
What's offensive is that six months ago, a leading Premiership manager placed a bet on one struggling club to stay up this season which, for obvious reasons, is against the rules and open to serious abuse.
What's offensive is no one I know - no supporter, no manager, no player - would have any faith in the Premier League doing anything about it even if the evidence was to be presented to them on a silver platter.
What's offensive is that if you want to concoct a 'gentleman's agreement' between two leading clubs which is going to have a radical effect on the title race, you're going to get away with it.
What's offensive is that Manchester United and Everton did that right underneath Scudamore's nose and then the Premier League put out a statement saying they were content Everton were free to play Tim Howard against United.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
What's offensive is Scudamore fiddling while the Premier League writhes in its shame at West Ham's survival.
What's offensive is that we have to rely on Sepp Blatter and FIFA to say they're going to investigate the failure to deduct points for the breaches of rules U18 and B13 while our own league pleads impotence.
What's offensive is that West Ham effectively made tens of millions of pounds out of the Premier League commission ruling because their £5.5m fine and failure to dock points allowed them to stay up and rake in the television cash next season.
What's offensive is Scudamore paying lip service to a decision that allowed cheats to prosper and sent an honest club like Sheffield United down.
What's offensive is the presumption that just because West Ham ripped up its copy of the agreement with the companies that controlled Carlos Tevez, then the companies that controlled Tevez must have ripped its copies up, too.
What's offensive is the sight of Scudamore sitting in front of Kia Joorabchian in the directors' box at Old Trafford on Sunday.
What's offensive is Scudamore not having the bottle to be at Bramall Lane instead to see the fruits of the 'independent' commission's decision to let West Ham off the hook.
What's offensive is knowing that Scudamore didn't witness the effects relegation had on the Sheffield United fans who were ignored by the Premier League commission when it waxed lyrical about the 'loyalty' of West Ham supporters. What's offensive was the pain and the anger on their faces as they walked up to the press box and asked us why the Premier League didn't value their loyalty as much.
What's offensive is that the commission decision backed by Scudamore will have cost a good manager his job if Neil Warnock decides he can no longer continue at Bramall Lane.
What's offensive is that Scudamore reacted with warnings and disdain to the dismay of the four or five clubs outraged by the commission's decision.
What's offensive is that Scudamore suggested their show of emotion was driven by financial concerns when the entire Premiership under his control has become driven by financial concerns.
What's offensive is that he appears not to have the wit to understand that just because his 20 member clubs empowered the commission to act on their behalf, it shouldn't mean they can't express their disquiet about the West Ham decision.
What's offensive is a system that forces West Ham fans and London-based Manchester United fans to travel to their game on Sunday on a day when there were no morning trains northbound between Euston and Manchester Piccadilly.
What's offensive is a system that doesn't take measures to prevent those same fans arriving first at Chesterfield, then at Sheffield, to find their connecting trains have been cancelled.
What's offensive is those fans having to club together to catch taxis from Sheffield to Manchester to get to Old Trafford before kick-off.
What's offensive is that the Premier League says it cares about its fans and it does nothing to prevent or at least improve a situation like that. What's offensive is a Premier League allowing football's rich to get richer and its poor to get poorer.
What's offensive is tin-pot Premier League spin doctors getting so carried away with their own arrogance they start emailing journalists and telling them they're 'spectacularly off-beam'.
Off-beam? I'll you what's off-beam. Off-beam is that same spin doctor inadvertently alerting a colleague of mine to the Tim Howard story in the first place.
Off-beam is the quiet corner where the reputation of the Premier League has gone to lie down and die.
Off-beam, my sanctimonious little friend, is this sad and unavoidable truth: West Ham's presence in the Premiership next season and the seasons after that will act as a lasting reproach to Richard Scudamore and leave a bitter, bitter legacy of his period in charge

Unregistered drivers
If you dont register your car, or you register it in the name of someone who does not have a UK license (ie a record at Swansea) you can get away with anything.
In particular, when one of these people is "speed cameraed" they get a form asking who the driver is. If you or I dont fill in the form we get a summons and three points (regardless of who was driving) and a minimum £150 fine plus costs. This we have to pay or we get the bailiffs coming round. If they dont fill in the form, they get a summons, if they dont appear and Swansea have no record of them the court gets a "no trace printout" which means what it says, the driver cant get points. A fine is then issued, however, and this is the good bit... NO ONE EVER EVER ENFORCES THE FINE. Plod are not interested, its too difficult to pin the offenders down. So - if you have a Slovakian au pair - register her as the keeper of the car and drive like an immigrant - without a care in the world - or insurance!!
Toot toot!!

Who does he think he is???
Arsene Wenger - what a Tosser!!
Stop the world - Wenger doesn't agree with it. He calls a linesman a liar - goes against video evidence and reckons everybody is against him.
This is the toerag who can never see any wrong that his players commit. Heaven forfend if he feels that they are offended against, in that case his vision is suddenly 20/20 to anywhere on the pitch.
He will start on the racist card next. "My players is only sent off cos they are black." Wait for it its coming.
He is a great manager - but a complete tosser who is making himself into a laughing stock. He will eventually quit in a fit of pique blaming the footbal authorities for being against him.
Ha ha paranoid as well!!
Well Arsene my friend.... instill a bit of discipline and you will find that the FA won't take so much interest in you.

NO NO NO NO Please NO!
"Diana fund to give £10m to refugees and Asylum Seekers"
"NHS in meltdown - 75% of Hospitals delay treatment to save money"
"MP's try to pin down true cost of Olympics"
Oh my Princess Diana, Queen of our Hearts, what is being done in your name?? Dr Astrid Honeyman (CEO - Diana fund) - what a waster, from the people who screwed up a fountain - the most expensive fountain that never worked - she gives us the Pikey supporting, gyppo favouring Diana, Princess of Wales Trust. I think not!! I didnt buy ten copies of Candle in the Wind so that Romany Gipsies can come here and pick my pocket.
That MFSOB Brown has taken huge amounts of extra tax off us, doubled the spend on the NHS and what have they done with it?? Spunked it up the wall, untold Billions ona computer system that doesn't and never will, work. Billions on reorganisations and inititatives that waste time and money and provide a fnatstioc feeding ground for teh parasites that parade themselves as managemnt in the NHS, not to metion the dreaded "consultants" (business not medical). Am I the only one who thinks it strange that hospitals in (marginal) Labour seats are not suffering as much as hospitals in (safe) Tory seats.
We all sat there and said that the cost of the Olympics would double at least. Didn't think it would be within a year or two though! This one really doeas defy belief. It looks like we won the games ona false pretext and teh process of bidding should be reopened. It is embarrassing, if these arseholes Livingstone, Jowell and Lord Coe were so far out as to be on another planet entirely (ooops we forgot about VAT!!!! ) it will jsut get worse and worse and then they bring in consultants (see above) at a cost of unbelievable millions to help them .. yess... wait for it .. lower the costs. Fantastic, why not ask anybody who has a modicum of business nous and they will tell you what to do. I'll do it - I guarantee to save at least £500 million off the final bill and you know what .. I'll do it for free!! Wankers.

Gordon is a Moron!!!
Does bloody Brown think we are stupid??
All of a sudden he comes up with these "initiatives" that are so far removed from anything he has ever said or done before. Ideas and statements that are planets away from what he believes. State of the Union, I support England me, lets have the World Cup, make those dirty foreigners pick up litter and spikka de Inglese before they collect their council houses and benefits.
I am insulted that he thinks he can curry anybody's favour by spouting this total crap that has been thought up by three policy wonks who have never done a days work in their lives.
Why is he doing this?? er er er lets see if we can work it out... he is going to be Prime Minister and wants to be cool and wonderful and be seen as his own man and not the tax guzzling lunatic he atually is.
Not even the electorate are that stupid... surely???
Hhhmmmm we shall see.

Call me a Racist... but...
... it doesnt sit comfortably..
OK I was watching the League Cup Final between two London teams.. Chelsea and Arsenal. How many indigenous players were there on show for Arsenal?? One. For Chelsea ... three.
Was there a white face on the pitch?? Perhaps four or five out of 22. Is this representative of society?? No.
Do these players have any loyalty to the supporters or the clubs?? No.
Did they set a good example? No.
Would they be there if the money wasnt? No.
Are they good for the English game? No.
I stopped supporting Arsenal a few years ago when the monied players came in and started taking away the fun and the loyalty to the clubs. Yet the football they were playing was not as good as it should be.
Look this is a crappy post _ ia m fed with the bloody foreigners coming in and playing in our leagues at the expense of our players. I am concerned that football teams will soon look like American Football teams with one white player (the quarterback) and 98 black players (the muscle).
Yes its racist .. but its true and i defy anyone, apart from Garth (he only has a job coz he is black) Crooks and Kiara Power (Black Nazi) to approve of the way the game is going.
Sorry and all that if it offends. No I'm not really.

I drive a 4 x 4 me!
I live in London. I drive to work every day in the centre of town. I used to have a gorgeous 2 door sports jobbie. Binned it. Looked around at conditions on the roads, the £500 bill every time I hit a kerb. The huge potholes that buckled the alloys. The untaxed, uninsured immigrants, asylum seekers and general underclass drivers who would clip your wing and bugger off. The "speed" bumps that grab your spoiler and whack your undercarriage. The scum sucking toerags who have no common courtesy and zip down the right turn lane and try and cut in on you. The total lack of respect for the basic unwritten rules of driving.
The (bendy) Bus drivers who "pretend" not to see you, they are in a class all of their own.
After much thought and discussion I decided that a big 4x4 is the answer. A year later... how right i am.
Potholes? Pah
Kerbs? Pah
Speed bumps? Pah
Uninsured? Scum Sucking Toe Rags? Pah .. I am much bigger and they cant damage me, they have tried, I have given them a little "bump". I stop in front of them. They go apopleptic, I laugh. I am the enforcer.
Bus Drivers? Pah... look them in the eye and they back off.
I use less go juice (diesel now) than my sportster, I ride higher, I can see into peoples cars, I am fearless, I am indestructible.
I am safe and I love it.
Quite simply it is the perfect conveyance for London.

Joined up thinking by the Football authorities
Cretins!!
I support a team that plies its trade in the lower divisions of the Football League. Along with 98% of League teams we are struggling financially and for bums on seats.
So.... every time there is a midweek game which gives a whole new tranche of people the oppportunity to go to football, because they work/rest/play at the weekend what happens to distract them???
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE LIVE ON TELLY!!
How bloody stupid is that??? Instead of giving the League teams a clear run at a potential audience they have to battle against Wayne and Christiano and Roman and Jose. The wavering fan will settle for an armchair and a tinny instead of watching clogger Hughes and that bright young product of the academy fighting for survival and playing for their teams BECAUSE THEY CARE!!!!
It makes me so angry.. why aren't the Chairmen screaming about it?? Because they have their head where they normally are.. inserted in their bottoms.
Its not rocket science is it??
Sort it out !!!!!!

Ken Livingstone Newspaper
Ken has produced a newspaper which is basically a propaganda sheet to be delivered to every premises and house in London - too many for me to count.
There is uproar!!
Why all the fuss?
Ken is almost 100% bulletproof. Everybody in London (and elsewhere) know that he spends tens of millions of our money on personal hype and PR and stupid gestures and St Paddys Day parades, while thumbing his nose at his pet hates. There will be a £25 charge for decent cars, it beggars belief, it is ridiculous, short sighted, unfair, undemocratic and blatantly stupid.
NOBODY CARES ANYMORE!
We need to find someone who can attack Ken in a different way.
Wish I knew what it was but I feel sure that any credible candidate CANNOT be a career politician (or an ex DJ for that matter). It needs a special "ordinary" guy (or girl) to outbloke Ken on a level that the voters relate to and understand.
Clear as mud, excellent.

Unbelievable!!
So fed up with it all. Dont even know where to start. Ken Livingstone expanding the Congestion Charge zone after ignoring the wishes of the population. Bliar expostulating about yet another law n order directive ... er except the law already exists and is not being applied!! ooopps. I am so angry I could throw the phone down!!
Road pricing.. is it the last straw? Forced to have big brother in your car? Pay £600 for the privelege? Yet again its the law abiding, car registering, tax paying, home owning, respectable individual who is being forced to pay for the rest of the malingering, maladjusted minority who choose to swing the lead. The Goverment have no idea whatsoever and continue to bleed us dry. When will it stop? Never.
I run a very small business, after the landlord, the bank and the Government (both local and national) I often wonder why I bother. I am just a tax collector with no incentive to better myself.
When you get an email from Bliar on Wednesday.. hit the reply button and bring down the governement(s website)!!!

Forest Gate - Innocent (ish) Chaps
Our innocent friends from Forest Gate with the mountains of cash stuffed under the bed and the kiddie porn on their computer.
Where did they get their money from?? Why is it all these people have cash, houses and funds while I scrimp and save to heat my swimming pool.
I call these people "upside 
down" men, because they would look more normal if you turned them upside down!!
down" men, because they would look more normal if you turned them upside down!!Why do they have to go out of their way to be so different? They are not rebellious teenagers?? Ho hum just another thing i don't understand.
Why did they then go and scream racist abuse at soldiers on duty in London and were they arrested for that?? Er.. I think not. Lovely fellas.
Someone I really, really, really hate is....
... Ken Livingstone .... words just fail me as far as he is concerned... he spends tens of millions of our pounds advertising himself and screwing up London and Londoners.. and yet .. the only people who can get rid of him .. Daaaavvve and the New Tories cant even come up with a credible candidate!! Makes me sooo maaad.
How the hell do ...
... people actually get to find my rantings let alone read them??? If anybody has any ideas please let me know.
I do hope I have more luck with this than I did with my personal adverts seeking a nubile young wench to satisfy my darker cravings. Fortunately I am used to rejection, especially by women.

My First!!
Well if anybody is reading this.. many thanks and welcome.
What freaked me out today was the road signs produced by Cheshire County Council.. IN POLISH!!!!! It defies belief even in today's multicultural Nu Britain. I cannot be alone in being severely irritated by this... can I? But what is to be done?
Also the moneygrubbing peddlars of filth, shame and misery ie the supermarkets, are at it again (they make porn producers look like angels - at least pornsters are honest about what they peddle and dont dress it up as something else). The new food labelling regulations are being flouted of course. Example Tesco gives the "per serving" ration as 200g of their poisonous cola when in reality a normal serving is 300g. It goes on.. do they care.. NO .. why?? I dont know who can stand up to them???
Over the last few years they have driven farmers to kill themselves while trousering increased profits from pure unadulterated bullying tactics. I could rant on about these scumbags for hours and will probably do so at a later stage.
