An Evening Standard hack blogged today that cops had raided the home of a photographer who had placed a 'David Cameron is a wanker' poster in his window.Then the blog mysteriously disappeared, though the Daily Telegraph still links to where it once was.So it may or may not be true.But in case it turns out not to be true, I wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong impression.David Cameron IS a wanker. Worse, he's a self-entitled Tory wanker who'll make Britain the sort of police state where the cops will tear your door down for dissenting.Call-me-Dave wasn't so precious when he and his Bullingdon Club pals were busy trashing restaurants like posh-boy hooligans at Oxford. Why the thin skin now?Please God don't let this PR creature and his hordes of evil assume power in Britain tomorrow....
Has anyone else ran out of patience with scumbag taxi drivers blockading our towns and airports?I rang the cops yesterday in a panic when I heard about their shenanigans in Dublin. My child was crossing town on a bus. Ten minutes later, and everyone on that bus would have been held captive for hours by the caprice of the cabbies.On the radio, I could hear interviews with baffled and frightened tourists trying to get to their hotels, irate parents trying to get the kids and shopping home, annoyed drivers blocked from moving in any direction by a completely illegal blockade.And what did the plod do? What do they ever do? Absolutely nothing. While our economy is going down the shitter, these mongs are permitted to block the airport and the commercial heart of the city without any punishment,...
I've learnt quite a bit this week.Apparently, 'Rhino-dating' is what happens during speed-dating nights when you sit down opposite someone of the opposite sex and they spend the entire three minutes criticising your clothes and ranting about how brilliant they are, then at the end of the night they collar you on the way out the door for some abuse, because they're shocked you didn't choose to see them again.I've been rhino-dated by the Irish service sector this week, and it wasn't too pleasant.There was the fuel firm who took my money, promising me my heat within 24 hours, 48 max. It took them five days to get around to delivering to me in the end.And that was only after I had to call them daily, have others call them daily, and even threaten to sue for my money back. And on the rare...
Twenty Major reckons the obligatory pension (translation: more tax) is his tipping point. He's leaving if it's implemented.I couldn't blame him.I'd do it myself if my circumstances permitted it. After all, when the rats are leaving the ship, why should the hard-pressed crew remain as the tide rises above the neck?The bankers have fled to their hidey-holes in Spain or Canada already. The cabinet are bailing out one by one.Why stay to pay for their mistakes, their incompetence and yes, their crimes?If you can, go. No one will thank you for remaining behind, except of course the aforementioned bankers (whose debts you'll pay) or the aforementioned politicians (whose pensions your 'pension levy' will fund).There's a really simple choice here - stay and get shafted, stay and fight back, or...
That's what Lisbon II has been.It's as if every single campaigner on both sides of the debate have been possessed by demons making them lie. In the case of the professional politicians, that's business as usual. In the case of Mick 'low fares plus huge charges' O'Leary, it's to be expected.But when Intel and fundamentalist Christians start in on the spoofing act, one really does begin to despair.The blatant attempts by the supposedly impartial EU to buy the election have been as despicable as the attempts by foreign Eurosceptics like Bonde or the UKIP to swing the decision to what suits them.No one comes out of this with any credit. Not the liars who have attempted to link a yes vote with economic recovery. Not the liars who said a yes vote would lead to a shredding of the minimum...
We have to remember Tiananmen Square.It's two decades to the day since the Chinese people demanded their freedom from the despotic, mass-murdering junta that rules their nation.It's twenty years since they stood in Tiananmen Square and sang songs and demanded that the Communist dictators quit power.It's twenty years since the power-hungry psychotics turned tanks on their own people and murdered them for asking to be free, killed them, jailed them, sent them to re-education gulags where they were tortured horrendously.It's twenty years in which more terror has been inflicted on the people of occupied Tibet, the Uighur nation, and the other minorities within the Maoist monolith.Twenty years in which the hypocrites of the West facilitated China's leadership by hiring their slave labour,...
According to the best guess of astrophysicist researchers, there is somewhere between 361 and 38,000 intelligent alien civilisations in existence in our galaxy.I would have thought this was self-evident. The proof that intelligent life exists in our universe is that not one of them have seen fit to come near here:Or here:Or here:Or here:Or here:And especially not here:You have to admit, those aliens, wherever they are in the galaxy, have demonstrated impeccable taste in avoiding this planet....
Thabo Mbeki is a genocidal criminal who ought to be facing the International Court of Justice for the unnecessary death of 300,000 South Africans.He also shares responsibility for the death of innumerable Zimbabweans who perished solely because Mbeki has provided the only support that syphilitic scum Robert Mugabe has.Those in the West who continue to cheer the 'rainbow nation' because they did well at rugby and Uncle Nelson has a nice friendly smile need to start paying attention.Mbeki has caused the death of hundreds of thousands of ordinary Africans. His single-party state continues to defy genuine democratic principles. And worst of all, he has sustained the evil of the Mugabe regime a full generation after it should have ended.Not that I expect the apologists for Mugabe's despotism...
Here is where you can find the complete roll of shame - the list of corporate donors and contributors to the Genocide Olympics in Beijing.To assist people in boycotting the services and products of those firms seeking to promote themselves at the expense of the liberty of Tibetans, the democracy of the Burmese, the hunger of the North Koreans and the right to life of refugees in Darfur, I've listed below their rivals who you can use intead:Scumbag Sponsor - Firm Rival Firm you can use instead Coca-Cola - Pepsi (or better still, avoid tooth-rotting cola)ATOS Origin - Literally thousands of...
All adverts are lies. Let's ponder that for a moment.Okay, we'll return to that later.Meanwhile, Consumers International (who are unsurprisingly an international consumers organisation) have unveiled their list of the crappest products on the market worldwide.Top of the tree are sleeping pills marketed at Japanese kids, closely followed by Coca Cola's tap water masquerading as spring water, Kelloggs' sugary breakfast cereals that pretend to be healthy, and shit Chinese toys sold by Mattell that fell apart and were full of lead.Now, let's drop the shit toys from the list. What's so wrong with sleeping pills? Did they poison people? Did they not work and instead, like being sold cocaine instead of mogadon, they kept kids awake? No. They worked fine. They just weren't properly advertised.And...
According to the denizens of Divis Flats in Belfast, wearing pyjamas all day long, whether in bed or at the shops, is 'their culture.'Jesus wept! It's the culture of these bet-looking harridans to scare the rest of us by appearing in public places wearing their spunk-stained bed clothing, is it?This bizarre sartorial tradition emanates from two separate sources, one geographical and one relating to the predominant character trait in Divis.The pyjama phenomenon first was noted in Dublin some years back. It has since been spotted across the British Isles, wherever chavs, spides, knackers and millies congregate.The other place it stems from is the total fucking laziness of people too indolent even to change their clothes once a day.It is generally a female phenomenon, whereby women of any...
They say the only two certainties in life are death and taxes. Well, that's probably correct in most cases. But then you think about Jesus Christ, or Charlie Haughey, and you remember that there's always someone bucking every system.Anyhow, I had to go and file some returns at the O'Connell Street Revenue office yesterday. That was, of course, great fun. My mate Rusty the Taxman had warned me that the Revenue office had moved to temporary accommodation, and he wasn't lying.The usual queues of non-nationals seeking PPS numbers to legitimise their stints working behind the counter of my local shops were still present, of course. But with the original building around the corner being refurnished, the current Revenue office is even less cosy and comfortable than the original.Plonked in some...
