a plot inspired by al-Qaeda but conceived entirely on British soil.

Police have broken up a terrorist ring. But damn it, these filthy sub human muslim scum can be out and free in 6 years.  Why? Because .... well here.
Read it yourself.

Some of these sub humans are Brit born.  Some would say they’re actually British as well as human.  Well some would be mistaken.

Interesting however. How times and attitudes change with the help of the weepy eyed left.

After WW2, the Brits murdered a fellow known as Lord Haw-Haw. OK, They executed him then, for treason. Thing is though, he was not a Brit nor was he a Brit citizen, having accepted German citizenship.  He was in fact, an American originally.  But the victors in any war require blood revenge and so they killed him.
In actual fact btw, his wife was closer to committing treason as she was Brit born and raised. I guess her role working for the Germans was lesser. ??
He made propaganda broadcasts that most Brits laughed at, they were usually so bizarre.

So fast forward to 2012 and guys who were plotting to kill on a grand scale and support foreign terrorists though born here, go to jail for a few years and then will be free.  I guess what these vermin were planning wasn’t treason.  ??????
My take?  After the war the left wanted Haw-Haw dead.  Today the left wants to keep these scum alive cos killing them might violate some sort of rights issue.

Big Ben bomb gang out in six years: Outrage as terror plotters plead guilty in turn for light sentences

The conspiracy involved nine Muslim defendants
They were all British, living in London, Cardiff and Stoke-on-Trent
Al-Qaeda inspired radicals arrested FOUR days before they planned to plant bombs in London Stock Exchange toilets

By REBECCA CAMBER

A terror gang who planned a Mumbai-style bomb blitz in London could walk free in less than six years after striking an extraordinary 11th-hour plea bargain.

The four Muslim fanatics intended to unleash a Christmas campaign of atrocities with targets including the Stock Exchange, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the Palace of Westminster and the London Eye.

They and five others had been facing a five-month trial at Woolwich Crown Court and could have expected sentences of 20 years.

But at the 11th hour they decided to plead guilty after a judge indicated they would receive lesser sentences for admitting the plot.

The Crown wanted to avoid both the estimated £2.5million cost of a high-security trial and the possibility of acquittals.

So a rare so-called ‘Goodyear’ direction hearing was arranged in which defence barristers receive guidance from the judge about how long he plans to jail those accused if they admit their guilt.

In this case, Mr Justice Wilkie suggested ringleader Mohammed Chowdhury, 21, would receive no more than 13½ years and his 28-year-old accomplice, Shah Rahman, 12 years.

He said the case did not merit an indefinite imprisonment for public protection because their plans were not developed, and he took account of Chowdhury’s youth.

Chowdhury is likely to spend less than half of his sentence behind bars owing to time already served on remand, while Rahman can expect to be out in five years.

Following the Goodyear hearing, others who had lesser roles in the plot swiftly pleaded guilty knowing that they would attract even more lenient jail terms when they are sentenced next week.

Tory MP Patrick Mercer said a term of five or six years ‘does not seem particularly serious’ for acts of terrorism which could have killed many innocent people.

idiot equality minister takes offense at beer tap. shocking photo seen here.

If any of the men had any grit, they’d have told the stupid bitch to get a life.  But oh f***in no.  The order of the day in these politically correct times, is to give the ‘F’ in.  Always give in the offended or ones who might become so.

Dumb shits!  Sorry ppl but this kind of sorry assed stuff just makes me see red.

Top Totty beer banned from Parliamentary bar in case it offends women

A beer called Top Totty was banned from a Parliamentary bar today because its pump plate featuring a half-naked lady offended women.

One sorry phony who is an “equality” minister who makes extra money cos she is the equality minister. And here’s what has her most likely unwashed knickers in a twist.  Take a look.

Totty’s Stafford-based brewer Slater’s describes the ale as ‘a stunning blonde beer, full-bodied with a voluptuous hop aroma’

Shadow equalities minister Kate Green was left ‘’disturbed’’ after seeing the 4% ale’s advertising in a popular Westminster watering hole and demanded bar staff remove it from sale.

Within 90 minutes House authorities ordered the beer to be withdrawn after Commons’ Leader Sir George Young told MPs: ‘’Action will be taken.’’
A barman told the Press Association: ‘’I can confirm it was withdrawn from sale at 1.30pm.’’
The bitter backlash developed after Ms Green told the Commons: ‘’I was disturbed last night to learn that the guest beer in the Strangers’ Bar is called Top Totty and there is a picture of a nearly naked woman on the tap.’’

She called for a debate on ‘’dignity at work in Parliament’’ and asked Sir George to back her demands for Top Totty to be ‘’withdrawn immediately from the bar’’.
Top Totty’s Stafford-based brewer Slater’s describes the ale as ‘’a stunning blonde beer, full-bodied with a voluptuous hop aroma’’.

Its website adds: ‘’This award winning beer, brewed solely with Whitbread Goldings hops, produces an initial burst of bitterness with a citrus fruity finish.’’
Speaking as MPs discussed future Commons business, Sir George said he was ‘’not aware of this particular picture’’ but pledged to raise the issue with House authorities.

He added: ‘’I am sure appropriate action will be taken.
‘’I would very much regret it if any offensive pictures were on display in any part of the House.’’
Commons Speaker John Bercow’s wife Sally, who last year famously posed in just a bed sheet for a photo shoot, took to Twitter to vent her anger at the beer.
She wrote: ‘’Cannot *believe* that there’s a beer called Top Totty on sale in the Commons! Outrageous - does Mr B know?’’
The beer’s withdrawal will come as a blow to Tory MP Jeremy Lefroy, who organised for Top Totty to be sold in Strangers’.

Announcing its introduction as the bar’s guest ale, the Stafford MP said: ‘’This is a great opportunity to showcase a fantastic and award winning beer.
‘’Slater’s Brewery produces many popular beers which have been brewed locally for more than 15 years and it is great to be able to share some of Staffordshire’s finest produce with colleagues in Parliament.’’

‘’Cannot *believe* that there’s a beer called Top Totty on sale in the Commons! Outrageous

Yeah right. And this from a woman, married to the Speaker of the house who bragged publicly about her numerous one night stands before marriage, and who not surprisingly supports the left, she is outraged also. Uh huh. Another phony.

TooDaze Big News From England

Couple still has wedding present toaster from 60 years ago.

And it was made in England.

They believe their toaster is the oldest in Britain.

And Fred and Joan Horley have no problem remembering just how old their appliance is.

The Morphy Richards device was a gift for their wedding which took place on May 23, 1953, and has been going strong ever since.

Delighted with his kitchen appliance, Fred, 80, from Glenholt, Devon said: ‘We have gone through a dozen electric kettles in that time but the toaster is as good as new.

‘I have never had to touch it. The chrome is still in perfect condition except a few marks on the top.’ ‘I don’t think they make them in such good quality any more.’ ‘We are very proud of it. It really is the best thing since sliced bread.’

‘We didn’t consciously keep it, it is just that we never had any reason to replace it. The only other thing I’ve still got from my wedding day is my wife.’

I think congratulations are in order, both for them and for their well built little appliance.

Churchill might be more then just dismayed

I said what I wanted to in a previous post, so this one will stand alone.

No explaining needed as you will see.

Mr. Randall has it right, as usual.

And btw .... his column appeared to late for him to mention the latest demand, not passed into law as yet, by the European court he mentions here.
The news lately has been focused a bit on kids not being disciplined or held to any standard, because parents have become fearful of being accused of child brutality for mere spanking.  Not talking now about actual child abuse, but where a parent might simply swat a kid’s backside for being naughty. Well, the European court through a spokesman has said that ALL member states (which includes Britain) should immediately make it a crime to spank or use corporal punishment of any sort on any child. Spanking they said, is violence against children and violates children’s human rights.  They are as usual full of s***.

What kind of people have we become?

Churchill would be dismayed by modern Britain’s capitulation to jackboot egalitarians

By Jeff Randall

Between Christmas and New Year, the 70th anniversary of an event, which in no small way helped change the course of history, passed almost unnoticed. On December 26, 1941, less than three weeks after Japan had attacked Pearl Harbor, Winston Churchill addressed both branches of Congress in the United States. The prime minister, who was in Washington to agree military strategy with President Roosevelt, used the invitation from Senators and Representatives to excoriate the Axis powers and pose a simple question: “What kind of people do they think we are?”

This wasn’t Churchill’s finest oratorical effort, but it was clever. As well as denouncing the forces of darkness and the enormity of their aggression, it was an invitation to ordinary Britons, suffering the horrors of war at home, to reflect on the challenge ahead. He was, in effect, asking fellow citizens: “Of what are we made?”

Seven decades later, one wonders how the great man would view the kind of people the British have become. What has happened to the freedoms and independence for which he urged us to fight? It’s hard to imagine our wartime chieftain being anything other than dismayed by the erosion of sovereignty, capitulation to the “equalities industry” and enslavement by debt. We have lost control of domestic borders, ceded legal primacy to Europe and allowed the Storm Troopers of political correctness to stamp their corrosive version of right and wrong on British law.

For evidence of our self-inflicted abasement, look no further than this month’s ruling from Europe’s Court of Human Rights that Abu Qatada, a radical Islamist preacher, regarded as one of al-Qaeda’s main inspirational leaders in Europe, cannot be deported from Britain to his native Jordan because his trial there might have contained evidence obtained by torture.

According to a recent government report, some 3,775 former foreign prisoners, who were in line for deportation by the UK Border Agency, have been released from custody and are living here, most thanks to Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the right to a family and private life. A Nigerian rapist was due to be sent home after losing a series of appeals in British courts over his jailing for an attack on a 13-year-old girl. But Strasbourg’s worthies insisted that they must protect the culprit’s “social ties” with Britain, which had blossomed while he defied expulsion.

Are we really powerless to resist this nonsense? It would seem so.
One reason is the complicity of Britain’s home-grown human-rights obsessives and jackboot egalitarians who, in the words of sociologist Peter Saunders, professor emeritus at the University of Sussex, “seek nothing less than hegemony for their moral values and beliefs”. This requires the unconditional surrender of adversaries and the criminalisation of those who dare to oppose. It’s a war of attrition through relentless assaults on popular consciousness by masters of subversion.

Their goal, according to Prof Saunders, is “eroding the ideals of independent thought, self-reliance and personal responsibility and replacing them with the language of thought-crime, group rights and equal outcomes”. This is modern Britain, where a foreign-born paedophile cannot be put on a plane back to Pakistan but traditional Christians are arrested for disobliging comments on homosexuality — a triumph of intolerance over faith.

After 13 years of the Brown Terror, ( ref. to the former left wing Labour govt ruled for 13 miserable years , italics peiper ) during which reckless state borrowing and out-of-control consumer debt masked economic and social failure, the Coalition is trying to reverse a pernicious tide of grievance culture and something-for-nothing expectations. George Osborne claims: “We are reducing welfare entitlements, imposing new conditionality on benefits and capping overall awards.”

That, at least, is the aim, but an insurgency of human-rights lawyers, grandstanding bishops and professional do-gooders is defending every ditch. Only this month, a Romanian living in the UK, who claims to make a living selling the Big Issue, but qualifies for more than £25,500 a year in benefits, was told by a court that she was not receiving enough. Despite objections from the local council, she was awarded an additional annual housing allowance of £2,600. Chancellor, please take note.

Do not conclude, however, that the immigrants are to blame for this mess. Who among us faced with a choice between penury in a Bucharest rat-hole and £500 a week in handouts plus a subsidised home would not be on the train to London? The only surprise is that so few are already here.
What’s more, the influx of foreign workers is forcing us to confront a problem which those seeking to blame high levels of unemployment entirely on public-spending cuts would rather ignore. Why does London have the highest rate of youth joblessness in the country when so many services in the capital are underpinned by newcomers?

Last week,Pret a Manger, which pays above minimum wage, admitted to the London Evening Standard that only 19 per cent of its payroll is British (in London the figure is far lower). Are we really saying that our education system is so poor and work ethic so diminished that Britain can no longer produce staff suitable for a sandwich shop? That is the conclusion of many business folk to whom I put this question, though they prefer sanitised phrases such as a “deficit of lifestyle skills” instead of the less euphemistic “welfare addiction”.

Given that 70 per cent of Britain’s state-educated pupils do not even take GCSE history, never mind pass it, one can bet confidently that the majority of young people trying to enter a difficult jobs market will never encounter the Churchill question: what kind of people do others think we are?

taps for Capt. John Robson. One hell of a brave battling Brit.  rip

While I’m sure there were very brave soldiers in all armies, I’m living here and here is where my concern is.
But there’s something else. Now perhaps I’m all wet on this. I am after all married to a Brit, so it should go without saying I am very pro Brit.  I’ve read a bit of their military history, and the derring-do as exemplified by this crazily brave and outstanding soldier is repeated again and again by the men and women in service to this country.  It’s a damn crying shame these lions have been betrayed and the Great Britain they fought for is now only Britain.

RIP Captain John Robson

Captain John Robson, who has died aged 88, was awarded an MC in Italy in 1945 and subsequently had a successful career in industry.

On April 26 1945, Robson, then a lieutenant serving with the 12th Royal Lancers, was patrolling in an armoured car near Lendinara, northern Italy, with orders to carry out a reconnaissance on the approaches to the river Adige. He was in close country, there were enemy pockets of resistance everywhere, and he and his troop corporal decided that they must cover the last part on foot.
As they got near to the river, their way was barred by a strong German fighting patrol. Robson was short of time because the Engineers were in urgent need of his report. He and his comrade were unsupported and heavily outnumbered. If it came to a confrontation, they stood every chance of being killed or captured — but they immediately opened fire with their Tommy guns and charged the enemy.
In the short, fierce fight that followed, they killed four and made prisoners of another eight. They then went on to the river and, after getting back to the cars, were able to radio the vital information required. Robson was awarded an Immediate MC. The citation added: “This is only one of several occasions when he has shown outstanding qualities of determination and fighting spirit.”
John Edward Robson was born in London on April 8 1923. He was educated at Haileybury, where there were compulsory cold baths every morning and the loos – there were about 20 of them in rows facing each other – were in a roofless building that was known as White City.
In 1941 Robson went up to Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, to read Natural Sciences but left in the summer of 1942 and, after completing a short course at Sandhurst, he was commissioned into the 27th Lancers. He was posted to the 12th Lancers and, having joined the regiment in Algiers in October 1943, landed in Naples the following April.
As they approached Venice, in the last days of the Italian campaign, Robson and a New Zealand company commander were told to secure the Hotel Danieli. The order came from General Freyberg, who had spent his honeymoon there. Robson commandeered a gondola and, as he wrote in his memoirs, “we were shot at by the fascists from the palazzos along the sides as we were punted down the Grand Canal”.

few sequins short of a tutu ….. read it all

I thought I’d heard the last (for awhile) on this topic.  But this morning’s column by one of my favorite people really woke me up.  I had not heard much about what she’s writing here.  Which btw I’ve edited. See full column at the link.
Anyway, I had not realized the extent of the thinking here and didn’t even know we had it in the USA as Miss Phillips describes.
I don’t understand how people come to believe these things. How do they come to these things?  Do they go out looking for it? Make things up as they go along? What?  How come they can not see how stupid it all is.
But ... I heard something on the radio late last night, after my computer crashed and I spent an hour with tech in India. Happily I got someone I understood, but it still took an hour.  By the time we were through I wanted nothing more to do with puters.  Too tired even to read, I turned on the radio.  The topic was not this story about the loon and her little boy/girl.  But while reading Phillips here, I immediately recalled the radio program. Let me share a bit of that and you’ll see a weird connection.

The program was about a newly emerging industry that deals with stag nights. Yeah, stag nights. Ah but with a difference.  Apparently, Krakow (Poland) is host to groups of Brit guys enjoying their last freedoms. Kind of.  There are actually companies that arrange tours, depending on what is paid determines how long your stag vacation is. Usually it’s a whole weekend. Yes, the guys do get pie eyed however, there isn’t the usual (we are told) stag films of old or sex for sale kind of thing. It’s supposed to simply be a group of friends enjoying the company of a guy about to become married. The groups are controlled quite expertly by a lady guide.  They are taken from one bar to another and visit various city attractions etc.  All very civilized we were informed. And here’s the part that you might say really woke me up.  It was to be quite honest, a bit embarrassing to listen to.

One of the guys on the program is a reporter who spent many months following this newest thing. The guided stag tour of Krakow. He interviewed the guys and drank with them, nothing sneaky because he wasn’t trying to uncover anything illegal. And then he came to this.

It was noticed how these guys have not acted in the expected macho traditional male on a bender (tho they were on quite a bender) way.  Here were guys he said, who were straight but not afraid to touch each other.  Not in a sexual way, but more or less we are informed, in the manner that women bond with their friends. They aren’t embarrassed or afraid to touch and show a softer side.  They were more touchy feely I suppose.  They were less the masculine stereotype.

I guess times have changed and apparently some men have too.  But I think it’s manufactured.  I just can not imagine guys having a girls night out.
Well, not if they’re straight anyway.  It just doesn’t seem natural. 

You’ve got to be a few sequins short of a tutu to raise your son as ‘gender neutral’

By MELANIE PHILLIPS

For more than three decades, Left-wing ideologues have been determinedly unravelling sexual and gender differences — on the grounds that the very idea that people are different amounts to a kind of prejudice.

Bizarre as it may seem, what started as a campaign for equal rights progressed into a movement to abolish altogether the differences between men and women.

This movement consisted of an alliance between, on the one hand, radical feminists who were consumed by hatred of men and, on the other, gay activists intent upon blurring the distinction between hetero-sexual and same-sex unions.

What arose from both was a push towards androgyny, based on the false belief that biology had little to do with gender differences — which were instead said to be artificially constructed by society.

LUNACY

Denying the biological facts of life in this way might be considered a form of lunacy. Indeed, scientists have shown there are many differences between male and female brains. And in general, men and women clearly have different approaches to their environment, relationships, children and so on.
Nevertheless, promotion of androgyny has become a kind of default position among progressive thinkers, writers and politicians.

It all started with the idea that men and women should have interchangeable roles both at home and in the work-place, and that fathers were no longer essential to the family unit at all.
Right from the beginning, however, there was a deeper agenda to redefine relations between men and women by nothing less than redefining men and women themselves.

Accordingly, radical feminists such as academics Judith Lorber and Susan Farrell wrote with a straight face that ‘being a woman and being a man change from one generation to the next’.

And the immensely influential psychologist Sandra Bem wrote that to free people from ‘culturally imposed’ definitions of masculinity and femininity people should become androgynous, adapting male or female behaviour according to their situation.

This would mean, she gleefully predicted, that distinctions between male and female would ‘blur into invisibility’.
Goodbye testosterone!

Astonishing as this may seem, this madness has now become mainstream. For example, the Council of Europe, no less, has drafted a definition of gender as an artificial social construct which has little to do with biology.

In the U.S., some therapists have demanded ‘genderless models of marriage and parenting’.

Recently, the California Teachers’ Association held a conference advocating ‘gender liberation’. It issued instructions on ‘gender etiquette’, which said it was polite to ask people with which sex they identified — and, accordingly, by which pronouns they preferred to be described. The instructions added helpfully: ‘Each of us can decide for ourselves in which bathroom we belong.’
And a few months ago on U.S. TV, a ‘gender coach’ was filmed indoctrinating children that they could choose whether to be a boy or a girl.

SINISTER

It all sounds too ludicrous to be true. In fact, it is deeply sinister. Our society is being brainwashed into pretending that the differences between male and female don’t exist — in order to reconstruct society into some unattainable utopia of sexual and gender identicality.

The dual goal is to marginalise men and to upend society’s fundamental moral codes. Having first been told they can behave sexually in whatever way they want, people are now being told they can be sexually whatever they want. And anyone who objects to this will be told they are a bigot.

The result will be an increasing tide of misery. Human identity is formed by the union of male and female. Sexual and gender differences lie at the very heart of what it is to be a human being.

Denying those differences to a child not only threatens that child’s own sense of identity and well-being, but also starts to unravel what it is to be a person.
Dressing a boy as a girl and pretending he can choose his gender is not merely bizarre and cruel. It is part of a wider agenda to re-order our society.
Far from ushering in a better world, this threatens to stamp out the individual right to know what we are, and to rob us of humanity itself.

the dumbest thing you’ll read? well, it gets loopier. UPDATE to yesterday’s gender story.

Here’s a brief update to yesterday’s article about the little boy growing up being brainwashed about gender.

Ya gotta wonder why the parents are allowed to keep this kid.  He is gonna grow up one confused boy. Er ... girl?
Wanna bet that soon the loon conditioning him now, is gonna teach him how to walk in high heels. Jeesh.
Isn’t this a form of child abuse?  Or am I over reacting?

Hate to say this but .... the kid already looks, well, erm. Kind of odd already?

‘What’s the difference between boys and girls? That’s silly!’ ‘Gender neutral’ child’s reaction to mother’s questions on sex
By JILL REILLY

A mother who kept her five-year-old son’s gender a secret since he was born has posted a video of him on the internet discussing ‘silly’ gender differences.
In the 90 second clip, Sasha Laxton, who has been brought up as ‘gender neutral’ can be seen laughing with Beck Laxton and saying it is ‘silly’ to have girls’ and boys’ colours

Sasha’s gender has only been revealed recently because he started school in September, and when Miss Laxton, a web designer, asks if he thinks girls and boys are different, a grinning Sasha simply replies ‘No.’

His mother,46, continues her questions and says: ‘What do people sometimes say to you about colours?’

‘Pink and yellow are girls’ colours and blue and green are boys’ colours. I think that is really silly!’ Sasha replies.

‘What about dressing up in a tutu and being a fairy? Do you remember when you did that for Christmas and I sent it on the Christmas cards because you looked so beautiful?’ asks Miss Laxton.

A smiling Sasha replies ‘Yeah.’

when somalis aren’t out - a - pirating

When Somalis aren’t out – a - pirating
They’re here in the former GB collecting. Could this be land piracy?
Of course, they aren’t the only ones, and membership in the EU doesn’t help this problem either.

That’s THREE BILLION ONE HUNDRED MILLION in US dollars. And trust me, bad as things are, this won’t be the end of it. 

The foreigners being paid £2billion in benefits a year including 371,000 on the dole (and 5,000 claiming £42m in illegal handouts)
· DWP fraud probe after 5,000 illegal immigrants claim £42m in handouts to which they are not entitled
· 371,000 foreign nationals on out-of-work benefits
· 6% of all benefit claimants are foreigners, study finds
By TIM SHIPMAN

More than £2billion is being claimed in benefits by foreigners every year, including thousands of illegal immigrants, figures reveal.
The Department for Work and Pensions announced a fraud investigation last night after it emerged 5,000 illegals claimed handouts worth £42million to which they are not entitled.
Ministers acted after the first-ever study of claimants’ nationality, which found 371,000 foreign nationals are on out-of-work benefits.

Taxpayers will rightly worry the rules designed to prevent benefit tourists are steadily being eroded by a meddlesome EU, leaving Britain to pick up a bigger welfare bill than it needs to.’

Somali asylum seeker Saeed Khaliif was given a £2million home in one of the country’s most exclusive neighbourhoods at the taxpayer’s expense.

The 49-year-old was granted housing benefits of almost £8,000 a month to live in the six- bedroom property with his wife Sayida and children.

The unemployed couple demanded to be moved to West Hampstead, north-west London, after deciding their home in the Midlands was inadequate.

The payments, revealed last year, are among the largest ever given in housing benefit.

Their new home has a 90ft garden and has been recently refurbished, with an en suite master bedroom and modern kitchen.

It is minutes from West Hampstead Underground station and the neighbourhood is home to comedian Stephen Fry.

It is understood Mr Khaliif has up to eight children and lives on benefits. He has not worked since arriving here three years ago.

Sought-after: The Khaliffs’ new home in West Hampstead

It is understood the family left £600 worth of damage to their old home in Coventry and did not pay the final month’s rent.
Housing benefit was recently capped at £400 a week, but the Khaliifs were able to claim more because they moved before the change came into force.
According to property sources, the house was being advertised to rent at £7,800 per month.

We’ve got a lot of what it takes to get along!
We’re in the money,
The sky is sunny;

You done us wrong!

We never see a headline
‘Bout breadline, today,
And when we see the landlord,
We can look that guy right in the eye .

We’re in the money
Come on, my honey
Let’s spend it, lend it,
Send it rolling around!

News To Me

We’re nearing the end of the dead period on American television, that six to eight week hiatus that all the shows seem to take as soon as winter sets in. Nothing on but repeats. With our cable company giving us the On Demand feature, we’ve been able to avoid most of this, and have been watching old episodes of shows we don’t ordinarily watch. We’ve also been exploring several of the few hundred channels we never look at, just to find something new or at least interesting to watch. New episodes are starting up this week and next, so we’re saved for the next couple of months.

I watched one of the BBC documentary shows last night, a new one called The Queen’s Palaces. The episode was on Buckingham Palace. Fantastic. Mind blowing. My God, such wealth spent so lavishly. Stunning. But I’m not jealous, or envious, or resentful. The Crown had the money, and that’s how they spent it, and it was all a long time ago, so so what? [ although I am more than a little piqued about an ad they kept running for the Bill Moyers show (who??)that flashed dozens of famous faces across the screen with a series of vocal sound bites, and one of them goes “The opposite of poverty is not wealth. The opposite of poverty is justice.” which is an infuriating bit of undiluted Marxism in my opinion. ]

But it was late in the evening, and being a guy I couldn’t help but be continually distracted by the presenter for the show, one Fiona Bruce, as she legged it around the palace, up and down the grand staircases, in and out of one sumptuously detailed enormous room after another. Damnation. Horry Clap what a pair of legs that woman has. And that’s in her old sensible heels, flats, and jodhpurs ( they stuck her on a horsey for one scene, but I don’t think she rides regularly ). It’s not like she was trying, wearing the same old blue dress she’s had for ages, and that makes it all so much more appreciable.

A tiny bit of net research this morning shows me that this is not news to any of you Brits, as you’ve had her as a news show person and TV presenter for years and years, that she is very well paid by the BBC, and that controversy sticks to her like glue over jealous charges that she’s just too darn sexy for the job. As if. Or too dim-witted or common. At least she has some appearance of class, and isn’t some mostly naked bit of pantie-less dumpster slut falling out of her clothes at every opportunity.  She isn’t even all that pretty, though she is rather striking and quite easy to listen to. Personally, I think she’s in damn fine shape for a woman half her age and I hope BBC One continues to keep her walking about on camera and presenting everything. Better than that Cat Deeley stretched out bit of vacuous fluff.

A SOCIALIST PARADISE FOR ALL BUT THE TAXPAYER

There are a couple of rcob items I’d like to share.  Or maybe ‘like’ isn’t exactly the correct term here. 

Pick up any paper on any day, turn on radio news (TV too I guess) and someone is going to be speaking about the economy, the cuts being made and the many protests over cuts.  Unless you are personally affected the whole subject is probably a crashing bore.  But hold on.  Maybe not.  Because what makes the subject more then interesting to me, personally, is watching this nation and culture which I had long admired, tear itself apart and commit national suicide.  I do not like that at all.
I can forgive dumb mistakes because I make them all the time.  But what I am seeing is no mistake.  I’m no economist, I never managed to balance a check book. Not once in my many years. Maths was never my subject. But it doesn’t take rocket science to know when people have been led down a garden path and lied to.  And bad as the previous left wing Labour govt. was, I don’t see great strides being made by this
coalition govt., and I don’t see evidence of the Conservative promise to alter the squatting laws.  What I see is more of that and more spending outside the country while being told cuts must be made everywhere inside.  Cept those cuts do not include all members of the ruling class. 
Among the many cuts on tap is money for things like, national parks. In this case, the beautiful Dartmoor National Park.

Folks are angry because in order to cover the shortfall caused by the cuts, for the very first time, Dartmoor authorities are talking about parking charges. Now this is just one tiny example but added to everything else going on, it’s frustrating for the camel carrying all that straw. Speaking of straws.

IMF confirms plans to expand bailout fund to around $1 trillion, as French banks face write-downs on Greek debt.
And guess what?  Britain may be forced to give 15 BILLION to the IMF.  Pretty big straw that.

Unemployment is expected to reach new highs and it’s touted that by next year, they could be the highest since 1990.

No job?  What? Me worry?
Not the filthy foreign slag who is shown here.  Of course she’s happy.  The Brit taxpayer is spending over £27,000.00 on the NON English speaking bitch.
Let me convert that to American dollars.  Rounding things out, the mommy of four (don’t know where dad is or if there is one) that comes to $41,725.00 added to the txpayer’s payload, while cuts are being made in country. Foreign aid in the multiple millions continues.

The Big Issue is a newspaper for the homeless. And oh btw. Her lack of English sure didn’t stop her from getting legal help when she was first refused ADDITIONAL money.

Romanian Big Issue seller given legal right to claim housing benefit (on top of the £25,000 she already claims)

The mother-of-four currently claims £25,547.60 in benefits each year

That will rise by a minimum of £2,600 when she receives her additional housing allowance

By LUKE SALKELD

As a Romanian immigrant living in the UK, Big Issue seller Firuta Vasile already qualified for more than £25,500 a year in benefits.

But one state handout she wasn’t entitled to was housing benefit. Until now.

Yesterday the 27-year-old mother of four was celebrating having won the extra payout – worth at least £2,600 a year – after her local council was over-ruled by a judge.

Miss Vasile, whose marital status is unknown, said the benefits money would help her pay rent on her £130,000 three-bedroomed home, while she continues to earn around £100 a week selling copies of the homelessness magazine.

Housing benefit has previously been provided to Romanian citizens only if they fit into one of three categories. They must either be registered with the Home Office to work in specific sectors such as agriculture or construction, have highly skilled jobs, or be self-employed with a National Insurance number and tax registered.

Miss Vasile has persuaded officials that she should be considered as part of the third category because she uses her own money to buy copies of the magazine in the hope of selling them at a profit.

Speaking through an interpreter, Miss Vasile said she came to the UK in 2007 to look for work, but could find only a post selling The Big Issue in Bristol.

‘I can keep half of the money I take and I usually make around £100 per week,’ she said. ‘This isn’t enough to meet all my family’s needs so I asked the council for housing benefit to help with my rent. My claim was turned down.

‘I was told that because I am Romanian I could not get benefits unless I have a job or I am in self-employment. They said work for The Big Issue didn’t count. I got legal support and was helped with an appeal.’

Miss Vasile claims £25,547.60 annually in benefits. Every week she receives £326 in tax credits, £60.50 in child benefits, £49.30 in disability living allowance and £55.50 in carers’ allowance.

She would now be entitled to around £160 a week in housing benefit – although this will be reduced to around £50 due to her other income.

Unlike other European Union nationals, Romanians and Bulgarians are subject to strict employment rules in the UK because their countries were late entrants to the EU.

Their rights will be brought into line with other European member states at the end of next year.

Let me guess.  Ah .... gee this is a hard one.  Their RIGHTS translated means more money then allowed now.
Jackpot.  For them.

Miss Vasile, whose children are 11, seven, six and two, first applied for housing benefit from Bristol City Council on November 15, 2010. It was refused six days later.

A social security tribunal ruled that she should be paid the benefits because selling The Big Issue counted as self-employment.

But the city council appealed and the case was taken to an Upper Tribunal in London last year.

Judge Mark Rowland released his written judgment on January 10 and the council has said it would not appeal again.

Miss Vasile – who has one disabled child – was represented by welfare benefits adviser Andy King, of Avon and Bristol Law Centre.

He said: ‘This is a victory for people struggling to work to support their families. Anyone who thinks selling The Big Issue on a British street in winter is a soft option should have a go themselves.’

But Chris Grayling, minister for employment, said: ‘We disagree with the court’s decision.

‘We have to remain in line with our national and international obligations. However, it is absolutely necessary to protect the taxpayer and the benefit system from possible abuse.’

But the problem is, all these folks have to do is ..... show up here and .....  BINGO!

Meanwhile, there’s this possibility to contend with.
Take a serious look at this.

Would you want a clipboard- wielding jobsworth telling your parents it’s time to leave their home?
By BRENDA ALMOND

Elderly people have a hard enough time in modern Britain. The private pensions crisis, the scandal of neglect and abuse in the NHS, the erosion in the value of their savings and the crippling cost of care are all increasing problems for older generations at the very time in their lives when they are at their most vulnerable.

But now an insidious new source of pressure is looming on the horizon — the growing belief within the Government that private properties belonging to the elderly should be used as a solution to Britain’s chronic housing shortage.

Houses are no longer viewed as beloved homes, safe havens, and welcome private assets for hard-pressed families. Instead, they are to be regarded as a potential source of state-run accommodation, ripe for exploitation.

That is certainly the thinking behind the scheme outlined by Conservative Housing Minister Grant Shapps, which said that local councils should help the elderly downsize to smaller properties, with their homes then rented out to families on local waiting lists.

liberal retards on the march to further pc

A bit of a brouhaha over a remark about blacks having a built in suntan.

Are white folks getting dumber and dumber?

Appears so.  And many black folks must be having an honest laugh at the silly white people who seem hell bent on feeling offended on their behalf. Even if they aren’t.

The Telegraph earlier this week reported on a youth worker who was thrown off a council course for describing black folks as having a “built in suntan.”
Nobody so far has managed to explain exactly how or why that’s racist or offensive.

The lady made the remark was also called to account for her use of the term, “coloured boy.”

During the first day of an Essex county council youth offending service training session, the woman commented, “I have a stepfather who has a built in suntan.”

Oh woo-freekin-hoo. Quick. Rope and tree for the awful offence against humanity.

The woman of course has been apologizing left and right for any perceived offence which she says wasn’t intended.  She’s 59 and said that growing up she was always told to use the word colored rather then black.  Perhaps that was the choice of her stepfather. Who knows. But the two things taken together were seen by the council as unacceptable and racist, in spite of her coming from a mixed race home and background.

I can’t even guess when, where or how this stupidity will end. Or indeed if it ever will. 

The politically correct idiot spokesman for the Essex county council says,
“People need to display open, friendly, non-judgemental communication skills and also show an appreciation of diversity and respect for all people at all times.”

So I guess that woman violated all of that but I still can’t figure out how.

And in other politically incorrect happenings.

A Conservative councillor has been suspended for comments he made on Twitter, labelling some disabled people who were protesting over cuts in their programs, as
retards.

John Fareham, a Hull city council leader, made the remark after a budget cuts debate last year.

He Tweeted:  “15 hours in council today, very hard-hitting day and the usual collection of retards in the public gallery spoiling it for real people.”

He had the unmitigated nerve to write what people say all the time and write in truth more likely.  But that isn’t accepted anymore.  People now must be cautious about speaking their minds as heaven forbid, someone will be offended.

The committee that dumped him says his remark “breached equality enactments and brought his office and the council into disrepute.”

Never mind he was speaking for himself alone.

Now I wasn’t there of course and so I can not say with absolute surety that it went this way.  But anyone wanna bet that the retards in the gallery were probably shouting over speakers because only their voices had any right to be heard.

law without justice as killers walk free but bored.

It’s 11:19 and this damn cold has settled into a raging cough. So I came downstairs and booted to see what tomorrows headlines will be.
This bit of soft justice (justice? where?) immediately caught my eye.  I guess it was meant to.
It’s this kind of thing that makes ppl see red and causes so much frustration and anger.  There really, really should be vigilantes at work here to settle the hash of vermin like these thugs.  But what gets everyone up in arms are the light jail times for an act like this.
Meanwhile, a few days ago someone was given seven years for stealing £7,000.
There is no way to make sense of that. Oh I forget. Except among lawyers.
Here. Take a look.

Thug who killed for kicks released after just two years… and whines that he’s BORED

Attack by Warren Crago and two mates ‘worst case of mob violence imaginable’

Leaves pitiful message on Facebook: ‘nuthin to do out in the big world for me’
Also spouts hatred of police and threatens to punch ‘black boys’
Victim’s father: ‘These thugs have evidently not learned their lesson’

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

What lesson?  What they have learned is simply that they can easily get away with it and will more then likely do it again.

A sick thug who killed a Big Issue seller for kicks has been released from his custodial sentence after just two years and has taken to Facebook to tell of his ‘boredom’.

Warren Crago was 16 when he and two teenage friends beat homeless man Ralph Millward, 41, to death after finding him asleep on a pavement in Westbourne, Bournemouth.

Although a judge described the brutal attack as the ‘worst case of mob violence imaginable’, Crago and accomplice Craig Real were jailed for four years.

But after serving half of their sentence they are now back on the streets.

Crago, now 18, has gone on Facebook to write about being bored after getting out of ‘pen’. He is even using his police mugshot photo as his profile picture.

Mr Millward’s grieving father Ken, 78, said he was sickened by the teenagers’ conduct.
He said: ‘I would have hanged them. I have always believed in life for a life.

The victim suffered 10 broken ribs, a ruptured spleen and bleeding on the brain. His injuries were said to have been consistent with being involved in a car crash.

The teenage trio were found guilty of manslaughter at Winchester Crown Court last year.
