Home Office decides on fines even before the ‘Voluntary’ ID card system has even been introduced.
If you fail to ‘voluntarily’ update your information within three months of change you will be fined a voluntary £125 pound.
If you are a repeated offender of not ‘voluntarily’ updating your information, the fine goes up to a 'voluntary' £1,000 pound.
This, as Jaqui Smith puts it is to ‘Stop anyone 'volunteering' themselves as an ID Card Martyr’?? And if that doesn’t deter people from conforming, they are going to send the bailiff’s round to ‘voluntarily’ seize our property!
We should think ourselves lucky that Smith’s ID Card system is only voluntary?
If it were compulsory, the rules would change. Any non conformity would lead to extraordinary rendition, lethal injection or hung by the neck until dead!
But fair is fair? The Home Office assures us that our information is safe?
There will be no information found stuffed down the seat of a train. Personal files auctioned on e-bay or lost on CD disks or memory sticks?
And to make us sleep in our beds more safe and secure. Gordon Brown himself has categorically stated that “the Government ‘cannot’ guarantee the safety of data”???
Of course, if there are any more doubting Thomas’s left, the Home Office are going to outsource our personal information to the private sector just to make sure it has every chance of being found lying around on the street with a big flashing neon arrow pointing to it!
So what Smith is saying is that the ID system is completely voluntary! But if we don’t voluntarily subscribe we will be forced to stay on this island prison? No more holidays abroad??
However, If we do subscribe, we are going to get the shit fined out of us when we fail to update where we live, where we have moved to or whom we are living with?
It is a natural assumption that the terrorists will be fined under the same guidelines for not updating their own information??
The most outrageous and laughable part of Smith’s folly is the registration of tramps, vagrants and homeless to the nearest railway arch or skip or shop doorway? It really stretches the imagination to know exactly what the government are going to repossess from the homeless if they fail to update their own records??
It has to be said that Smith’s voluntary ID card system is turning into a zero tolerance privilege that is going to cost us both in monetary terms and the political rape of our basic freedoms?

£400,000 Psychological training techniques for Suffolk County Council?
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) makes it debut from stage and screen to the corporate business world of local councils. The Suffolk County Council as part of their ongoing training program has chosen to delve into the mysterious world of NLP. And just short of half a million quid many councillors see it as a waste of money better spent on hypnotists and magicians that have you clucking like a chicken or make a coin disappear up your left nostril. Non the less, Andrea Hill Chief Executive Suffolk County Council who is on a salary of £220,000 (30 grand more than the Prime Minister) promotes the expensive NLP training program takes it all very seriously.
The crux of the problem begins with most that have even bothered to read the ‘Mail on line’ article will have never heard of NLP, or at best have very little understanding of it?
The few that have bothered to find out more about the subject will instantly come across its entertaining use by the likes of Paul Mckenna and Derren Brown for their television specials to baffle and bemuse audiences.
At this point the many will switch off and refuse to take NLP seriously and relegate its importance to cheap tricks for street corner illusionists? However, there are the minority of inquisitive minds who go the whole nine yards and find that NLP techniques are taken very seriously in the corporate world and do change both our every day behaviour and thought patterns?
To add weight to an idea or political point of view across to the masses various key words and phrases are used to encourage subtle subconscious manipulation of public opinion.
"In simple terms, NLP is a form of mind control?"
Corporate philosophy and business mindset books are full of it.
The life changing book ‘Who Moved my Cheese’ by Spencer Johnson is absolutely rammed with NLP techniques. A book which is said to be purposely churned out around offices and board rooms to see if chosen employees can work the message out?
The oddest ‘charity’ in the UK ‘Common Purpose’ is infested with NLP? Their mission statement used to read like an NLP group therapy seminar until it was mysteriously taken down?
And this brings us back to The Suffolk County Council, and many other councils up and down the country where ‘Common Purpose’ membership has dramatically increased twofold within the ranks of councillors and top management. Neuro Linguistic Programming is high on the agenda, and has been for some time.

Would you trust these people with your details?
Jaqui Smith Home Office Minister is steam rollering ahead with the introduction to the ID card system. Last week she hit the news with the ID card targeting immigrants! Everyone entering the country will ‘by law’ be required to have the ID card. Next year Smith wants to introduce the ID system to all airport and high security workers in the UK Regardless of the mounting opposition against the scheme, Smith seems is ignoring everything and everyone who has an opinion opposed to the idea. Below is an up to date list of government data cockups that sooner or later will without doubt ‘end up in the wrong hands’.
Jan 2005: The government loses disks with information relating to all child credit claims?
Feb 2006: The government loses disks of DVLA records, Not only do they lose them but it turns out our personal driving data has been lost to an outsourcing company in the United States.
Nov 2007: The government loses data on 25 million people. Darling apologises and says it will not happen again. Three weeks later the NHS loses the medical files of 168,000 patients???
Jun 2008: Secret documents regarding information to the Iraq war were found on a seat of a London Bound train. Other personal government documents were also found on the same day on another train?
July 2008: The NHS loses data pertaining to thousands of phone call information from the Scottish Ambulance Service.
August 2008: 650 laptops and 100 memory sticks go missing from the MOD? Laptop with personal banking details ends up on Ebay? MOD contractor loses data on 84,000 prisoners in the uk?
September 2008: Police lose 4 gig memory stick with terrorist information on it? Data on 5,000 prison staff goes missing?
These very same people are assuring us that the data they are compiling on us all will be safe and secure?
"Would you trust any of these chumps to feed your cat if you went away for a few days??"

The Home Office Minister’s problem is she just doesn’t have shoes big enough to fill her mouth! Home office minister Jacqui Smith got caught out in a whopping bare faced lie over the weekend concerning knife crime punishment? During an interview with Sky News, Smith when asked by the journalist stated there were plans for knife wielding felons to be hauled up the A&E to see the end result of their body carving efforts. Shame them! make people face up to the consquences! The very next day with a growing backlash of protest for the idea, our Home office minister promptly tells reporters she had been taken completely out of context, saying ‘she had never said that it was part of the planned punishment of knife crime offenders to be let lose in hospital wards’! Sky News aired the interview again just to make absolutely sure Jacqui Smiths comments hadn’t been taken out of context, and her meaning had been fully understood. Then played her rebuttal statement of her own comments immediately after. This woman is without doubt an incompetent liar! If she cannot contain herself in public with such damaging remarks followed by contradicting statements she should at least ‘shut her out of control gob’ for sake of the labour party! Its not the first time Smith has been at the centre of controversy either. After standing up for the Police telling the media, she is behind them every step of the way. She decides to drop them like diseased ridden dogs when they ask for a pay rise? She has become about as popular as depleted uranium with her constant hawking on about the need for ID cards. ‘And this slap bang in the middle of missing personal data being found several thousand miles away in America? Or the need for a national database during a time when government offices are losing personal information in the post and leaving top secret documents on trains! Jaqui Smith has certainly taken the political stance that ‘lying like there is no tomorrow’ to fabulous new heights!! Is there anybody left that believes a word that comes out of this woman’s mouth anymore!

Gov Announce £9.7 billion arms business!
While the rest of the country are experiencing High food, electric gas and oil prices, Home Repossession and job losses, the UK Trade and Investment announced they had secured a £9.7 billion business deal selling death and destruction world wide. This catapults London, (or rather the government, 10 Downing Street) into the top slot as the biggest arms seller (or rather Gun Runners) in 2007. The Government has a clear path to hold the mantle for the next several years having left the total arms exports of the United States in the dust? 10 Downing Street which has its ‘Guns R Us’ warehouse situated in the trendy Docklands area now accounts for a staggering third of global arms exports!! Mr Digby Jones, the minister trade and investment said, “It is an outstanding export performance”.
“””OUTSTANDING EXPORT PERFORMANCE!!!!!”””
Its completely beyond belief that this sod is patting himself on the back for selling death and misery on a global scale and is proud to report to the public that the UK arms industry is one of the worlds most technologically sophisticated? How he can call selling the means to blowing another person to bits ‘sophisticated’ is anyone’s guess!!
It is without doubt that now the government hold the title of the biggest gun runners in the universe for 2007, but somewhere down the line they must have armed the ‘alleged’ terrorists that are supposedly waging a war upon us? Not even the High Court can stop dodgy munitions deals going through. BAE Systems only recently scraped through the legal challenge with the help of the attorney general and of course Tony Blair?? Ironically Blair was one of the biggest gun runners on the planet during his time in office, and now becomes a peace broker for the Middle East?? What the hell is all that about????? Its like sending a fox into a hen house dressed as a chicken!! Under his ruthless leadership Downing Street was made into a formidable over the counter munitions ordering centre that would sell to anyone with a wad of folding cash.
“Armalites for a tenner love, No not even a fiver! Two for three quid, and I’ll throw in a couple of tea towels as well!!!!!
Mark Thomas of Channel 4 did an expose of the government showing the business suit end of arms trading is worse than looking down the barrel end? He took the clients from their hotel to the 2006 London Docklands Arms Expo on a hired bus and even got them to chip in money for the poor unfortunate sods caught in the crossfire that these business psycho’s were selling their guns to! The Times reported the revenue for the last five years of arms dealership in order of monetary dollar value.
United States $63 Billion
Great Britain $53 Billion
Russia $33 Billion
Is this why the government have introduced new legislation to take knives off the streets? They hate the competition!
Original report Times Online June 18, 2008
Councils now put fishermen and school mom’s on the terrorist list! What’s next? Rendition flights & Guantanamo for putting bottles in the wrong bin!!
It has come to a point where civilians going about their day to day business are far more likely to come under surveillance and banged up behind bars using the new anti terror laws than the actual terrorists that the laws were specifically made for.
We saw 82 year old Walter Wolfgang changed under the 2004 terrorist act after shouting ‘Nonsense’ at Jack Straw during the 2005 labour conference! Maya Evans is charged for breaching Section 132 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act for reading the names of the dead at the Central London Cenotaph!
And now Councils are using anti terrorist and surveillance laws to spy on the general public? Instead of the mundane and presumably low threat of staking out a potential bomb factory holed up in a flat above the high street butchers. Poole Council decided to strike out at the heart of terrorism by way of spying and surveillance tactics normally used by MI5. They went for the big fish ‘Jenny Paton & Tim Joyce’ who may have been lying about their school catchment area for their three young daughters?
The council had a surveillance team round hiding in the bushes logging the times the family opened and closed their curtains and when they switched their lights off? The council spies even logged the movements of the family’s car, calling it the target vehicle!
It turns out that Poole Council are not just interested in school mums, they also have their telescopic terrorist catching lens out for ‘Fishermen’? Local shellfish pickers from Poole Harbour.
Under cover council officers wasted eight weeks of council tax payers money on a hiding to nothing. It turns out that Poole Borough council has used the controversial legislation to observe people suspected of various misdemeanours on 17 separate occasions. None of which are related to terrorism no matter how much you try to stretch the imagination.
Pool council are proud of their record and boast of their use of R.I.P.A (Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act) They have hounded vandals, harassed a school mum and goaded fishermen but have yet to catch a terrorist with the terrorist surveillance laws??
Together with the collection of DNA from thousands of kids dropping litter, riding their bikes on the pavements, and one guy being arrested and having the all important DNA sample taken for spraying a garden hose at his neighbour adds up to a system ‘not’ for identifying terrorists but more so installed for keeping tabs on the general public.
As it stands CCTV can without too much trouble record a fight at a football match or a brawl outside a pub on Friday night. But to follow events down a tube station with the shooting of an innocent man or following terrorist suspects, the best that can be expected is a few grainy still shots or the cameras fail to work at all?
All this mixed together we have the sprinkling of Jaqui Smith ranting on about upping the terrorist suspect detention time to 40 days. How long is it till the authorities forget how to distinguish between a terrorist and a litter bug and bang them up for six weeks for throwing their chip paper on the floor?
People have to be completely unconscious not to see where this is going!

Start chipping the villains, then the police and everyone else should fall into line!
Sounds like the script for a world domination Si-Fi movie? Or another laughable conspiracy theory doing the rounds on the Internet. Except this time it turns out to be a new electronic tracking device that is to be installed by the Metropolitan Police in London to replace the old airwave radio system. So who’s laughing now?? Not the 31 thousand police officers who have no choice but to have the Rfid chip rammed up their jacksie. Better being penetrated by a Radio Frequency Identification chip than a brick of a radio one would have thought? The new system is called the Automated Personal Location System or (ALPS) or ‘New World Order Bollocks’ for short. It is intended to monitor the whereabouts of police officers while they are on duty? As one officer put it ‘to see if their beat bobbies are dozing off during their shift’! Of course the official line for the implementation of the system is to persuade the public that somehow it will protect their officers by knowing where they are at any given time. Its not quite sure how this protection will show itself back at the control room except red dots running round the city of London after….What? It doesn’t really produce anything unless the villains line up at their local G.P to have their own Rfid chip fitted! Although several months ago a recently paroled convict let his dog pad around its Walthamstow first floor flat wearing the electronic ankle tag round its neck while the faithful owner went out down the boozer after his curfew?? Another officer from the MET was quotes as described the chip as ‘turning officers into robo-cops’?? It lends to some considerable bending of the imagination to liken themselves as hi-tec law enforcement officers? “Branded Cattle” would come a lot closer to the descriptive truth!! As it stands the local plod are not going to get any say about being implanted with a computer chip. It is going to be a mandatory necessity unless of course they leave the force. There is no mention in the grand scheme of things if the chipped officers are going to be monitored off duty as well as on? Which means the early hours excursion down to the red light areas or a romp on Clapham Common will no longer be a secret for the more sexually adventurous offbeat bobby! Pete Smyth, chairman of the Met Police Federation, said: "This could be very good for officers' safety but it could also involve an element of Big Brother. "We need to look at it very carefully." Well Pete! ‘You do!!’…. For what is round the corner now that it has been accepted from the boys in blue to get wired in, is a national microchipped society. It’s a foregone conclusion? If its good enough for the safety and protection of the police, then its going to be good enough for the general public? Many alternative fringe authors have been warning the masses about this scenario for years. Often ridiculed and disbelieved for their why’s, how’s and when’s, but here it is!!! And with the Blessing of the big cheese of Trumpton town himself. Lets hear it for the first beast of the field to be branded, non other than Sir Ian Blair!!!!!!!!! MMMMMOOOOOOOOoooooo? The only question on our minds now should be….When do the rest of us pass through the sheep dip to get tagged? BAAAARRRRH Source: Daily Mail April 2008.
MOD Changes Iraq War History to Teach in Schools!
You occasionally hear about history being changed to promote some agenda or to give a biased opinion over events by the victors, but it has always been disregarded as the fanciful ramblings of conspiracy theorists and alternative fringe news groups. Today we see history being rewritten in real time? Today we get to know that The Ministry of Defence are lying their heads off so that the next generation of kids will be taught a pack of historical lies!!
Today we find out that the fringe group selling the outrageous is non other than the National Union of Teachers who say the MoD is omitting certain information regarding the Iraq War that is destined for the schools to be taught as factual history!
The row comes in the form of a student worksheet written by the MoD about the cause for war with Iraq. The ongoing operations, What has been spent and the number of casualties reported. All of which differ in answers from what is known in the press as of that what the Mod is trying to pass off as fact!!
To portray a fair and balanced view, Steve Sinnott, the general secretary of the NUT said that the MoD document goes into great detail about rebuilding of schools and hospitals in Iraq but fails to mention the civilian casualties of the war?
They fail to point out the initial reason for going to war pertaining to Weapons of Mass Destruction were never actually found? The reason for Regime Change was not backed by the United Nations? Or that Regime Change was the second option given for going to war no sooner the WMD’s argument held no water!
It goes on to give false facts and figures about current troop involvement, How much the war has cost Britain and a low conservative body count of British troops killed during the conflict.
As quoted from the Independent: “They believe the instructions, designed for use during classroom discussions in general studies or personal, social and health education (PSE) lessons, are arguably an attempt to rewrite the history of the Iraq invasion just as the world prepares to mark its fifth anniversary.”
The N.U.T said of the document “It is a question of whether you present fair and balanced views or put forward prejudice and propaganda to youngsters."
The Independent on Sunday: First reported March 2008.
Best way to boycott the games is not to boycott it at all!!!!!!!
It has come to something ridiculous when a spokesman for the Olympic committee in China is stated as saying protestors tried to sabotage the torch relay and stir things up with the police??
Their spokesperson said "We strongly condemn this vile behaviour."?
Only the other week I read that China's authorities had tried to sabotage their own human rights protestors and stir things up by murdering the protestors?
The human rights issue has dominated the headlines for quite a while now but more so over the last few days with the argument over UK participating in the Beijing Olympics. Many athlete’s and celebrities have ‘mildly’ done their own condemning of the human rights atrocities in Tibet but have plumbed to go to the glittering event instead.
It becomes very debatable which is the more vile behaviour? Stamping on the torch to put it out to protest against the games, or to be seen showing slight frustration but decide to go to the party anyway?
There is no middle ground with what is happening here at all. People should, either boycott the games altogether and stay at home, or they go and be dammed with the human rights issue.
What message does the latter send to the Chinese? “We can bludgeon our protestors to death, and still the rest of the world want to come and play games in our back yard”??
On one of the recent current affairs programs on Radio 4 debating the subject of protesting the games, had some of the guests actually saying that going and participating at the Beijing Olympic games would be the best way of combating the human rights issue. How they came to this mind boggling conclusion is anyone’s guess?
We then bare whiteness to our PM Gordon brown standing outside number 10 in a photo shoot with the Olympic torch entourage giving his own mixed messages?
Is he condoning the Chinese authorities behaviour against their citizens by embracing the games in Beijing? Or is he boycotting the event but saying under his breath that the games are more important that the human rights issues?
Brown seems to have differing ideas about human rights? One idea for China and one for Zimbabwe? Only a few months ago he boycotted the EU Africa Summit when President Mugabe decided to roll into town for the same shindig!
So what Brown’s problem with doing the same with Beijing?? Put simply, "Money!!!" China has a lot of cash it wants to spend and Britain wants the cash tills filled with moulah before it dries up!
Its worth noting that the spokesperson for the Olympic committee in China mentioned that the protests would not amount to much. Probably spoken way too soon as the Paris leg of the run saw French protestors actually putting the flame out!
£700,000 Bill? Put it on the Public Tab!!
Order! Order! Is the usual cry from the right honourable Mr Michael Martin, Speaker of the house to quell the rabble of arguing politicians during question time. It also appears to be the command Mr Martin is all too eager to shout when he is out shopping as well?
His home improvement bill adds up to well over 4 times the average mortgage that many people are grasping to keep hold of during these spiralling cost of living times.
Our man Martin over several years has racked up in excess of £700.000 pounds on furniture! Art! A brand new air conditioning system. And a whopping third of a million on Building restoration and refurbishment for his ‘rent free’ residence that is already paid for by the tax payer?
A Freedom of Information request by the Daily Telegraph revealed that over £100,000 a year was spent on the property since 2001.
Mr Martin's spokeswoman answered on ‘Mike the speakers’ behalf, saying it was part of an ongoing rolling restoration program for British heritage. And that Mr Martin often entertained foreign heads of state. No doubt the ‘speaker himself was out shopping for a Faberge egg to brighten up his living room, instead of answering questions directly?
Another shocking bill for Mr Martins rented property was the £992,000 pound wedge spent on doing up the garden. Although it was said that a large part of that was to beef up security after the 11th September 2001 terrorist attacks. Or was it to stop burglars trudging through his house marking the expensive carpets, flattening the cushions on his costly sofas. Stealing the priceless art off the walls! And all made more comfortable for the non perspiring intruders in the ‘temperature’ controlled premises!
The astronomical bill for his furniture comes in at a staggering £148,900???? It begs the question, what the hell are these visiting heads of state doing on Martin’s sofas? Jumping up and down on them!
Ok, you might think that the sod has to park his arse somewhere after a heavy day at the office. But there are bargains to be found at DFS or IKEA that are just as good value for money these days without immediately plumbing for the most expensive matching furniture shop in the high street!
So, our speaker of the house has a flair for spending the tax payers money on a home he doesn’t own that is also paid by the tax payer? But it doesn’t stop there. His wife and family have ‘allegedly’ dipped into the public pot as well. Mrs Martin has been using £4,000 pounds of public money to pay for taxis to and from her shopping trips. And while the public was still shaking their heads in disbelief, they were treated to a double whammy with racked up air miles from official government trips used by the family to go on cheap flights!
The irony of it all is that Michael Martin has been chosen to head a review into MP’s expenses later this year. It gives him every chance to sweep his own dodgy allowances under his expensive carpet before the review is published. But it is already getting to be a little hot in his temperature controlled crib due to an untimely public row and the resignation by his former spokesperson Mr Mike Granatt
over Martin’s Wife’s taxi bill!
Mr Michael Martin in not the first public figure to hit the headlines for going over the top with spending public money like water. A few years back Lord Irvine’s face appeared all over the news with his taste for expensive ‘Pugin’ wallpaper, of which the tax payer forked out £300 pound per toll to slap up the walls of Irvine’s residence? He was horrified about the possibilities of a man like him going to B&Q for his wallpaper!!
No rendition flights here."He said with his fingers crossed!"
In 2005 it came to light of the possibility that the United States intelligence services were using the UK as a possible transit area or using its airspace for what is known as ‘Extraordinary Rendition’ flights? Tony Blair and Jack Straw made statements to the effect that there were no such flights happening either in or over British airspace. Both waving the mantra of no evidence for the claim? However, the alleged claim with the unsupported evidence for rendition flights just wouldn’t go away.
In 2006 the non evidence of rendition came back shaking its ugly head! Again Blair and Straw insisted there was no real evidence or basis on which the claims were made. The government would not be part of such an international conspiracy! There it lay, the claim reduced to the crackpot minds of conspiracy theorists of Western democratic governments being party to using highly illegal methods and human rights violations to detain prisoners. As ‘Honourable men’ the government could never be part of such atrocities.
In 2007 the extraordinary rendition flights conspiracy theory again reached the headlines with another denial from the former Prime Minister Tony Blair and the past foreign Secretary spinning their well worn shite about the flights! It certainly lays credence to the claim that if one tells a lie for long enough, eventually people will believe it as the truth? These pair of sods had thrown such titles as ‘rumour’ and ‘conspiracy’ at the rendition claim hoping that its very existence would eventually become a laughable urban myth in months to come.
In 2008 The rendition flights (sadly for the government) did not die off, nor did they become the ramblings of the lunatic fringe conspiracy theorists? As recently the new foreign Secretary David Millerband had to come with cap in hand to apologise and come clean over the CIA using UK as stop off’s for rendition flights! As it turns out, his counterpart Condoleezza Rice admitted that there had been two flights through UK with low risk level detainees on board. ‘Low Risk Level’ if that makes it all ok? She had acted in ‘good faith’ prior to last week denying information regarding the alleged flights? “Good Faith!!!’ Newspeak for a load of bollocks! The government must have missed a couple of zero’s off their count as the number of flights were over 200 that the National Air Traffic Service had been asked about by anti rendition campaigners. The group identified at least 6 Jets complete with their registration numbers landing at various airports pertaining to over 200 rendition flights. Perhaps our government would believe that the two detainees spoken of were flown into the country a couple of hundred times each, and on six different registered planes? If anyone will have knowledge of US CIA registered flights coming and going from the UK mainland it will without doubt be the lying sod Foreign Secretary Straw and his even bigger liar of a boss, Blair! The more plausible story would be with public awareness getting out of control with Condoleezza Rice having her arm twisted to acknowledge a little bit of the truth to stop the howling wolves of the UK press. So we have both governments denying any knowledge or involvement in rendition flights! But it turns out to be the actual opposite? Then we have the same slime of politicians reeling back with terror of any notion they have anything to do with torture and waterboarding! Until it is found to be a regular activity on the curriculum for terrorist detainee suspects? It can be announced that the score is two nil to the conspiracy theorists! Unless it happens to be the government who are the actual conspirators?
The Williams Draft! Proof of Labour Spin on Iraq Dodgy Dossier.The lying sod leering out of the limousine with the other lying sod Blair is non other than Alastair Campbell and the former head chief and spin doctor of the new labour inner circle of lying sods. We have to think back to the time of the alleged ‘sexed up document’ pertaining to the Iraq war. The initial government report that did the rounds throughout the corridors of Whitehall for support for military action were mostly stolen off the internet? Great swathes of information were cut and pasted from an unfinished article by Ibrahim al-Marashi’s doctorial thesis at Oxford University. Not only did our over active government spin doctors copy the basis of Mr Marashi’s theory, they also included his errors and typo’s as well. The government even forgot to acknowledge Marashi’s work, possibly because it was blended in with information from the intelligence services to spin out a real meaningful terrifying threat from Iraq that someone’s final exam papers would not really express? It was well documented and debated on the Internet about Mr Marashi’s homework being the seed of war with Iraq, but only a brief mention of the stolen article by our fabulous truth seeking mainstream news!! Now, if it isn’t bad enough that the government steals the exam papers from some unfortunate person who publishes his work on the net, they set about by taking away information from the document and adding other bits of rubbish to make it a good read! Fortunately for us Andrew Gilligan spots this with the help of an unknown source and reports to the press that Campbell and Blair are the main culprits and authors of the dodgy Iraq dossier. This time it sticks like shit to the spin guru Campbell. But he gets away with it! His apron wearing ‘Masonic Brother’ Lord Hutton relieves him of any blame during the infamous Hutton enquiry and points the finger at bad intelligence reports?? To make matters worse everyone seemed to get amnesia about the stolen Internet document that had been part of the report that should have made it clear it was just garbage from the start! The sexed up document with the 45 minute claim even after the outrageous Hutton whitwash just wouldn’t lie down and die. Campbell quits his post in 2003 to be closer to his family. Again we see the pattern of immunity once a minister resigns his position? And not too soon as the David Kelly enquiry followed a few months on after Campbell’s timely resignation?? But there could be another reason why everyone involved has disappeared up their own arsehole and out of the cabinet at the time of the dodgy dossier? …””The Williams Draft?”” The Williams Draft was a home office dossier that was purposely omitted from the Hutton enquiry because it showed the workings of government spin in their original glossy terms. Chris Ames wrote an article to the New Statesman about the elusive draft. At first the Home Office denied its existence. Then spun the excuse that the Williams draft was held back because it threatened government confidentiality? With their final excuse that it was not published because it was stated as being “un-commissioned activity” by a bored press officer?? Jack Straw personally blocked its release to the public? Through the efforts of Chris Ames, the Williams draft was published in January 2008 and shows the government were the actual villains of the peace behind the sexed up dodgy dossier that goes all the way up to telflon Tone himself. Our boy Campbell even lied publicly about the existence of the Williams Draft just a few days before the Hutton enquiry! It can honestly be said that the outcome of any new enquiry should be..The big boys did it, and ran away!!!

Peter (don’t mention Gibraltar) Hain quits post to clear his name?
It seems that in order to escape any risk of prosecution via an official police enquiry, you should resign your ministerial post. And then you get away with any dodgy dealings Scott free! There was a time when a villain who had committed a crime would be hounded to the ends of the earth consuming decades of passing time till they were caught and brought to justice? Ronald Biggs of the great train robbery springs to mind. Yet Mr Biggs could be argued as being the more trustworthy of the two. These days you just need to quit your job to become immune from prosecution? After a clearout of dubious funding of the three main political parties, or rather someone ratting on MP’s about how much they had scrounged illegally, Mr Peter Hain gets caught with wads of undeclared folding moolah stuffed up his arse that he insisted ‘was a mistake’? Well, an honest mistake! He assures His Boss! The £100,000 pound of undeclared funds found out by the Guardian were channelled through a think tank called the “Progressive Policies Forum”.
No matter which way you look at it, Peter Hain’s behaviour is more akin to Father Ted Crilly of Craggy Island!....“Honest, it was just resting in my account!”.......
Not two days later a further £82,000 was found floating around not declared? Surely a paltry hundred grand of undeclared funds would have jogged his memory about the other eighty two grand he had stashed away.
Obviously it didn’t? His excuse of simply forgetting just does not hold water at all.
However, Hain does have previous form in another area of bending the truth other than being forgetful? His brief slot as Minister for Europe saw him botch up things with joint sovereignty of Gibraltar with Spain. He was accused of deliberately misrepresenting the situation gaining him the title as one of the most unpopular politicians ever to visit Gibraltar.
One of his first public gaffes that is known about was during his time as Secretary for Northern Ireland he nodded off twice during concerns over an important murder investigation by a loyalist paramilitary group. His nodding donkey impression and vibrating epiglottis was witnessed by Lady Sylvia Hermon, MP, who was present at the meeting?? It begs the question ‘how the hell do these people get to run a country?’.

Just sign the damn thing and bugger off!!!
Members of parliament have been asked to vote on the amendments to the EU treaty within the next 24 hours. Of course Gordon Brown is expecting everyone to approve the ratification by slipping in the EU amendments at the last minute. His ace up the sleeve for getting his own way (and you have to read this twice to believe it!!)… is “NOT TO LET MP’s READ IT!!” It is an absolutely stonking idea! While Blair pussy footed around sexing up documents hoping the public wouldn’t notice the subtle spin on important issues, old Brown comes at us with his bollocks hanging out of his trousers with a ‘post-it-note’ slapped to the end. The ploy of used car salesmen carefully omitting the small print on the contract has long since disappeared under a wave of consumer watchdogs and an era of politically correctness. ‘Or so we thought!’ It seems that the slight of hand or street savvy behaviour from small time villains has just moved from one seedy cheap market place right into another even shadier den of thieves commonly known as the houses of parliament! Our new Prime Minister has become ‘Arthur Daily’ overnight? The story goes that Brown originally gave the MP’s three months to go over the documents but changed his mind for a more urgent 24 hours. Meaning that the amendments would read meaningless and totally out of context without time to cross reference the full document. His backtrack is not just about the amount of time he was going to give the house for revision of the amendments, but his promise of a referendum over the EU soon became a red herring also. The only difference between the last slimy crook that held office and the current chump sliding his feet under the table at number 10, is that we can see this sod coming before he gets there!!
