Afghanistan : Fast increasing British soldiers' deaths and their crappy US reject military equipment



A further 15 British soldiers have lost their lives in just the last ten days in southern Afghanistan, whilst continuing Operation Panther's Claw, a major assault against the Taliban. At least, 15 is still the number as we sit safely here at home on this sunny Sunday afternoon, and type.

As if this isn't absolutely awful enough in itself, today we are told the astonishing truth by the 'Mail on Sunday' regarding Gordon's Brown's government's continuing fatal, effing fowl-ups.

We wonder what the hell Gordon Brown and his fat-cat & fraudster "honourable friends" want? To beat (once, Great), Britain's 'Bloody Hands' record still held by the traitorous turd Tony Blair?!

Read the revolting rest about our British Army's downright betrayal by it's own boss of bosses.

Read it and weep : and rage.

Then write.

Write to the Queen. Write to Prince Charles. Write to the Prime Minister. Write to your member of parliament. Write to the national newspapers. Write to your local papers. Write on blogs. And write on web sites and forums.

In fact, write where ever you damned well can write.

And when you write, write the same simple things.

Enough is enough. Bring our brave boys (and girls), back home. And, bring them home now. Before many more of them end up being bourne back in bloody, flag draped boxes.


After all, surely we Brits are, at the very least, just as sodding sensible as the Russians?

All About Gordon Brown's 'Iraq War Inquiry' Bullshit



Huh.

If you think that's a large load of the stinky stuff - boy, have we got news for you.

Iraq war inquiry to be in private

An independent inquiry into the Iraq war will be held in private, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has told MPs.

Opposition parties - and many Labour MPs - have been calling for the probe since shortly after the 2003 invasion.

It will start next month and take at least a year, Mr Brown said. It will not aim to "apportion blame", he added.
So, if you can stomach it, read some more re : this disgusting smelly Brown stuff.

British MP's Expenses Scandal : The Trough Thickens



Today we intended telling the terrible tale of the 'take what you want when you want' culture of (apparently), tons of turdy Brit members of parliament.

But then, somebody anonymously sent us this particularly odious porker-picture...



...which, suddenly made us stop and wonder why we should bloomin' be bothered to.

Since 'The Telegraph' is already doing such a sterling job of explaining and exposing exactly what sort of absolutely stinking stuff has (seemingly, serially) been happening in our old Brit House of Commons.

So, click here to see lots & lots about some of said shocking smelly shenanigans for yourself.

Shame?

This shower of SOBs simply possesses none.

Jaqui Smith : Should she simply "sod off" as soon as poss?



Pictured above: Jacqui Smith, British Home Secretary in Gordon Brown's government.


(snip)

To many voters she's a minister "on the take" who is not satisfied with a fat salary, a chauffeur and two homes but also claims more by employing her husband, calling her family home her second home and submitting bills for porn films.

The gap between the elected and those who elect them has rarely been wider. It is in all our interests that that gap is closed.


Read the rest of an ultra bright Brit bloke's excellent entry ~~ at the popular blog of Nick Robinson, BBC political editor.

Incidentally, for our none-Brit readers who may not be too familiar with this particular Brit bloke's face, here's a reminder of a couple of his 'close encounters' with the ogre aka George W. Bush, which most of the world witnessed ~ and probably enjoyed, as immensely as ourselves.

(snip)

Robinson got a very hard stare from George W. Bush when he asked him if he was in denial about the situation in Iraq (since the most Bush had said about the situation was that the increase in attacks was "unsettling"). Bush replied "It's bad in Iraq. Does that help?".

Nick Robinson had another run in with George Bush. At a press conference featuring Bush and Gordon Brown, Bush said to Robinson "you should cover up your bald head, its getting hot".

As Bush walked away Robinson replied "Didn't know you cared", to which the President said "I don't".

Learn a little more regarding Nick.



Almost as an afterthought we realised that even some Brits may not yet be fully aware of the latest 'accusations of fiddling' affair that Smith's become embroiled in.

So, see the latest sad & sorry Smith story.

Britain's 'Big Brother' grows bigger and uglier, by the bloody day



Question:

What's the difference between Brown, Blair, Obama, Bush and Orwell's Big (1984) Brother?

Answer:

Not a lot.

(snip)

Phone companies are already required to store details of all calls, such as the time and date, location and who made them, for 12 months for possible use in criminal investigations or court cases.

An EU directive ordering data on internet traffic to be stored in a similar way is due to come into effect in the UK on Monday, 6 April.

The government is also considering proposals to store all communications data on a single database, which may be run by a private company.

(snip)

So what else is new?

London's and elsewhere in Britain's Israel/Gaza marches & protests & shoe chucking shows

Take a look at some of the latest London "trends".










If a picture's worth a thousand words, let these shoes & signs' pictures from Downing Street, shot yesterday, Saturday 3rd January 2009 tell their own true tale.

When it comes to America and Israel, Gordon Brown, yet another souless heel, has shown us all that he's just as big a bloody handed bum as their respective excuses for honourable leaders.

And when it comes to decent, civilised true Brit citizens of all ages, genders, religions and political persuasions, many thousands of them showed that they're quite as capable of showing their outrage and contempt, as crystal clearly as any brave Iraqi journalist.

And it didn't end in London. Not by a long chalk. Many people in Scotland, Ireland and Wales made their own marks on their own streets.

So, take your pick of the UK's papers' reports.

Gordon Brown : Britain out of Iraq by July. (But what about an absence of any accompanying Afghanistan announcements?)



Arriving unannounced today in Iraq Gordon Brown announced that British soldiers will be out of that (criminally, cold bloodedly, premeditatedly and sickeningly mercilessly), quite callously 'crucified' country -- inside 7 months.

UK troops to leave Iraq 'by July'
While that's certainly the sort of of cheerful news that will make for many of us being able to have at least a little happier Christmas, all aint exactly as it first appears.

But what's new?

Remember this though -- only British boys & girls still surviving (and still in one piece) at the selected time, will be coming back to Britain under their own steam. Since, sadly, between now and July's end some are sure to have to be stretchered back to 'dear old blighty. Sadder still, some others are bound to be borne back by bearers, in bloody boxes.

But what's new?

Moreover, the British government's ever eager to spin to please, directly as dictated by Downing Street, partners in propaganda, the once so highly respected BBC, will continue to comply and play down the fact that many more members of our brave British forces are already earmarked for an unbelievably, flat out f*cked up Afghanistan.



So, once again a conspiracy of assorted slimy, snidey, shitty, soulless, cowardly, completely compliant, conniving, conscienceless spinners seeks to sucker us.

Shame?

Scruples?

Such sods as recently have serially professed to sincerely and honestly represent, and to selflessly serve this country's substantial majority of decent citizens, quite simply, have neither any semblence of shame, nor the slightest sign of scruples.


And that's for sure.

Furthermore, on said (so sad) score you can (quite categorically) quote us.

Gordon Brown's Britain:Peers of the Realm, Peter Mandelson, Lords of the Land, Stunts & Stinks, Stenches & Smells, Scandals & such like, and so on ...



After spending so much time at so many (subtle), title-tinkering attempts before plumping for our final preference, we're now left wondering what else is worth our while saying concerning this particularly sickly, sad & sleazy sort of story.

Oh, well.

Why worry?

Let's leave the rest to

Big-Bad-Brother Britain : Poxy Plots and Ploys Proliferate



Yes, we know, mister (unarguably) unelected UK leader, (and super-smarmy sidekick, Ms 'smart arse' Jacqui Smith).



You know where we live.

Right?

But what about how you'd have us live, if you had your way?

Police may get more data powers

[British Home Secretary] Jacqui Smith said intercepting communications was 'vital'

Jacqui Smith has set out plans to give the police and security services more powers to gather phone and e-mail data.

The home secretary said police risked losing the ability to fight crime and terrorism without new laws.

The government is considering creating a giant database to store details of every UK phone call and e-mail sent.

Ms Smith stressed the "content" of conversations would not be stored but she wanted a national debate on what new powers should be introduced.

And she warned that without increasing their capacity to store data, the police and security services would have to consider a "massive expansion of surveillance".

Plans to collect more data on people's phone, e-mail and web-browsing habits are expected to be included in the Communications Data Bill, due to be introduced in the Queen's Speech in November.

'Vital capability'

In a speech to the Institute of Public Policy Research, Ms Smith said:

See for yourself what this wicked witch has said.

Update:

Whilst we were still typing this,
some equally concerned soul, stateside, sent us this.

Time alone will tell, eh?

The Latest Peter Mandelson 'Scandal' ...



Remember Machiavelli?

Oops! Sorry!

Erm, we meant to say Mandelson.
Peter Mandelson, that is. He's the louse on the left.

He's also a serial sodding resigner; usually under some sort of cloud.

We can hardly bloody believe it. Barmy Gordon Brown has brought the b*stard back. He's called him in to his cabinet.

Mandelson!? A man elected by no one. A man no longer even a member of parliament. That's why he's being elevated bunged (by the back door), into the House of Lords.

Yep, you read that right.
The House of Lords.

What a way to run a railway, eh?

While we were well aware that Gordon Brown was desperate, we had no idea he was SO desperate.

Read the rest of this report - while we two try making contact with the spirit of 'Scotty' - to beg him to beam us both back up.

"Bye-bye Gordon Brown," says New Labour Government Minister, David Cairns

Hoots, mon!

Holy, highland games!

Suffering thistle infested sporans and winter weight, thick weave, technicoloured tartan kilts, Batman!

Is this north of the border bit of bother interesting or what?!

Och, aye, Jock Cock Robin.

It's very, interesting. Very, very interesting.




Minister quits in Brown protest

David Cairns explains his decision to resign from government

Scotland Office minister David Cairns has resigned from the government, saying the time has come to "allow a leadership debate to run its course".

The Inverclyde MP is the first minister to resign since rebel MPs began calling for a leadership contest.

He told the BBC he was not part of a plot but felt it was time to "clear the air" and have a leadership debate.

Gordon Brown's Government's Great British Gestapo Plot ...



Apparently, lots of us are learning a lot lately about a supposed terrorist type plot against Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

However, how many, we wonder, have as yet even begun to get to grips with the insidious implications of this mean spirited, mendacious miscreant of a man's government's shockingly sinister plot of it's own?

You know, the good old Great British Gestapo Plot.



What a woeful way to goddamn go, eh?

We began by giving Blair, Bush and their respective bunches of bad-ass bandits an inch, and the bastards took a million bloody miles. And when we say "bloody" we do mean "bloody".

Then, Blair buggered off before he was effed off, and we gave the supposed good-guy Gordo a go.

Now, super-snide as he so obviously is, this Brown bum gives us this shit.

Psst. Listen. Hear we now. We kid ye not.


We don't even dare to imagine what this mangy, manic mob of mega-Machiavellian madmen may have headed our way next.

Do you?

Glasgow By-election : Gordon Brown Beaten ... Again.

Gawd's truth, Gordon. Now wonder you've got a gob on again



Battered, bruised and beaten - again?


By another by-election bombshell? This time by some canny fellow Scots?

For pity's sake Prime Minister, what's it going to take? Can't you see they're screaming for your head on a plate?

The Scottish National Party has pulled off a stunning by-election victory by winning Glasgow East, one of Labour's safest seats, by 365 votes.

The SNP overturned a Labour majority of 13,507 to win with a swing of 22.54%.

The SNP polled 11,277 votes in the contest, while the Tories came third with 1,639 and the Lib Dems, with 915 votes, came fourth.

SNP candidate John Mason said the victory was "off the Richter scale", while Labour expressed disappointment.

New Labour's Horrific Humiliation in Henley Election ...


Good God, Gordon!

Conservative leader David Cameron has hailed an "excellent result" in the Henley by-election, which saw Labour beaten into fifth place.

On Popes And Prime Ministers Intent On Making Their Marks In America ...

*



We see the present Pope's popping in to the US to ... er ... um ... do whatever it is that Popes do when too many of their boys have been caught with their kecks down causing considerable consternation (again), 'cos they've been doing to/with some younger boys ... er ... um ... what it seems so many Popes' boys can't stop doing.

Nevertheless, here's the sort of thing the BBC are saying today:

Pope may find US on his wavelength
Read the rest of the Beeb's report and see what you think yourself.

We also see that simultaneously (and coincidentally?), current British Premier and ex (super-successful), Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown is popping across the pond to drop in on a bunch of Bush's big wbanking buddies.



As we said at the outset, we're not exactly sure what the Pope's flying visit's real purpose is but, we definitely do know what Gordo's prime purpose is. Regardless of the much publicised (and most welcome) Robert Mugabe warnings being bandied about - Gordon Brown wants to (personally), put to all to the US high flying financial fellows. In short (in private), he's 100% certain to say to the super-shysters ... stop self-serving yourselves good-style ... and stop screwing everyone else.

Read the BBC's relevant report right here.

However, whether absolutely anything that either (sorta-semi-celebrity), visitor says during the course of their respective stop-overs will be understood by George W. Bush, is definitely open to debate.



And, we're not just talking foreign visitor's accents when calling into question the crazed Crawford cowboy's (probably completely), problematic powers of comprehension - or quite possibly an absolute absence of any -- at all.

Good for you, old el Gordo!



PM not attending Olympics opening

Prime Minister Gordon Brown will not attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, Downing Street says.

Beijing?



The capital city of the
People's Republic of China?



Hosting the next
Olympic Games?



What sort of sick sodding joke was this idiocy in the first place, anyway?

We say the entire sordid shower of self serving shysters on the Olympic committee who (so shamelessly), cast their votes for such stupidity at the outset, should be unceremoniously sacked - at the very least. And, sacked straight away - if not sooner.


Well, we'll tell you this for free, friends - they would be if we had our way.

The 'Must See' Senator John McCain 'Sick Joke Show' ...

Introducing the worthy, whacky wierdo winner of our very first 'Whopper of the-Week' award.



Seriously, surely this dangerously demented, serial flip-flop wearing, semi senile, two faced, toadying senator was just jesting.

Right?

Well, wasn't he?

You know, when the lying, sad old seventy something, 'sell-out' sack of shit said this:

"If Hamas and Hezbollah succeed here, they are going to succeed everywhere," Mr McCain told reporters.

"They are dedicated to the extinction of everything that the US, Israel and the West believe and stand for,"...



Read the rest of this Israel visit related report, regarding the stark staring, raving retard of a sob-Gop, super-goof.




Just imagine -- the kids are all tucked in -- safe and sound asleep -- then suddenly the phone rings -- at 3:00 AM -- and it's someone saying that this stupid sod has -- as practically 'promised' -- started World War Three.



Just imagine.
============================

** STOP PRESS.

Today McCain arrived in Downing Street and continued to waffle and lie about Iraq and it's still suffering people.

People were "living their normal lives"

Peter Watt 'Walks' While Gordon Brown Admits Labour Party Donations Were Unlawful

*

Wave bye bye to Peter Watt (below), baby faced whizkid General Secretary of The Labour Party, and up till today seen by many as a still rapidly rising, young New Labour super star.


Brown admits donations 'unlawful'

Mr Brown said the money was not lawfully declared


Gordon Brown has said donations to the Labour Party by a property developer through middlemen were "completely unacceptable" and would be repaid.

He told reporters he had had "no knowledge" of more than £600,000 [$1.2 million approx] of donations from David Abrahams, which could "not be justified".

(snip)

Labour's general secretary Peter Watt resigned on Monday after it emerged that Mr Abrahams donated the money to the party over four years, under three associates' names.
And to think that some are still seeking to persuade the public that governmental 'sleaze' is a thing of the past, eh?

Oh yeah, sure it is.

Please pull the other one pals, it's got bells on.

Asked if he knew Mr Abrahams, Mr Brown said: "I am sure I may have met him but I have no recollection of any conversations about any of these issues.

"I had no knowledge until Saturday night, either of the donations or of the practice which had grown up where they were improperly declared to the Electoral Commission. No knowledge at all."

He said mistakes had been made and changes were needed to ensure Labour imposed "the highest standards in future".
Hmm. So, let's see if we've got this story straight, eh? Mistakes have been made and changes are needed, eh?

Sounds great, Gordon, but we're sorry to have to say that we've heard it all before, Mr Brown. Ever heard of a certain old saying?
"Same old, same old"?
Acting Liberal Democrat leader Vince Cable said that "an enormous can of worms had been opened up" and the government should have brought in new party funding regulations.

"It's a whole sleazy area; it needs cleaning up because of lack of public confidence, " he said.
Read the rest this report and see a list of names, dates and large amounts of dosh dished out.
