I must admit to still being close to incandescent with rage at the idea that Blair might be some kind of shoe-in as EU president. I’m certainly outraged at Glenys Kinnock proclaiming him “the UK’s choice” (I sure as fuck didn’t vote for him… did I miss something?) but on the bright side I’m confident of the IQs of our friends on the continent that they wouldn’t possibly stand for it.
Although I would like it if they had a bit of fun by voting for him, got him over there and then ran him straight off to the Hague for trial…
Steve Bell, as usual, gets it spot on.
Tom Lehrer famously said that political satire was obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973.
No matter, it seems that these things are somehow either circular or simply launch into another realm of absurdity as news confirms that our own very special lying dissembling scumbag of a war-crim / mid-east-peace-envoy Tony Blair looks ever more set to become the first EU president.
You really couldn’t make it up.
I can’t help it; I’m a sucker for good causes – I’ve promoted ARK (Animal Rescue Kerala) on here before, and now it’s time for another.
Whilst the current good cause in my head is raising money to have Andy Coulson’s head on a spike at the Tower of London, there is a genuinely useful one that I’d like to point you at; Wiccaweys Rescued Border Collies & Working Dogs Centre – a rescue centre that really needs some funding help right now.
If you can spare a bit or can set up a monthly donation, you’d be doing something extremely useful.
Hopefully we can return to Andy Coulson’s head on a spike some other time…. ;-)
My friend Madame Arcati has long waged a campaign against bullying tory cuntwit Andy Coulson.
For yet more reasons for them to get shot off him, see here…
Are you under the impression that the government’s announcement that ID cards will be “voluntary” is the end of it?
If for one moment yesterday’s news made you think that you could forget about the discredited scheme, please don’t. Not for a second.
Basically it’s complete and utter spin and weasel words (no surprises there, then…) and the central plan to enforce the ID database goes on unchanged – and that means forcing everyone to register personal info whenever they need to update “certain documents”… that’s things like passports or driving licences, and in the process paying for an ID card whether they want it or not.
Calling it “voluntary” is nothing short of dishonest. If you don’t submit the details then you won’t be able to drive or leave the country.
You have a few weeks before MPs vote in parliament on this, so if it troubles you (and pretty much anything this government does in this area troubles me a huge amount – they’ve proved themselves not only utterly incompetent and incapable on data and IT matters, but they’ve also proved utterly dishonest, deceitful and untrustworthy on pretty much anything to do with our rights and liberties) then you should waste no time in writing to your MP.
Also why not go check out NO2ID and maybe join them or make a donation.
