What Our Troops SHOULD Have Had. And What Our MPs Got

From the Telegraph:

£11,510,792 – total cost of second homes allowance claimed by MPs in 2007-08. Would pay for 38 Ridgeback armoured vehicles, costing £300,000 each

£25,411 – cost of private security patrols outside Soho home of Barbara Follett. Could have been spent on 13 pairs of ITTT night vision goggles at £1,900 each

£22,500 – dry rot treatment Margaret Moran claimed for home 100 miles from constituency. Would have bought 10 underslung grenade launchers worth £2,160 each

£9,000 – installation of Ikea kitchen at Gordon Brown’s Westminster flat. The same price as nine sets of £1,000 Osprey full body armour

£8,865 – price of 40in Bang & Olufsen television claimed for by Sir Gerald Kaufman. Could have been spent on four SA80 A2 rifles at £1,800 each

£2,225 – amount claimed on a 'corner group’ sofa by Bob Ainsworth. Would have bought 14 Hawke long-range binoculars, which cost £150 a pair

£2,115 – amount claimed by Douglas Hogg to clear the moat at his country home. More than the cost of a single £1,790 MINIMI machine gun

£1,645 – cost of 'Stockholm’ floating duck house bought by Sir Peter Viggers. Could have bought 23 pairs of ESS ballistic sunglasses

£598 – servicing of ride-on lawnmower claimed by Alan Duncan. Would have paid for 11 Mk 6 Kevlar helmets

£480 – amount spent on 22 silk cushions by Keith Vaz. Could have been spent on three pairs of LOWA Desert combat boots

Enough to make you totally and utterly fucking sick in the mouth, isn't it! And now the useless pant pissing wankers are making noises about "dealing with Iran" (i.e "sanctions" - H.T. Leg Iron). Just fucking leave it Labour, you couldn't win a fucking tombola!

In Spite?

What is going on in Doncaster indeed. Here's the original article from the Daily Express.

And here is a quote from the Daniel1979 blog, mentioned in the first link above:

Doncaster has a Mayor, in fact a recently elected Mayor. His name is Peter Davies and he is an English Democrat, and he has sent shockwaves through the local community (and some national news outlets) when he was elected he immediately cut the Mayors salary from £73,000 to £30,000 and closed the Council’s own newspaper for peddling propaganda courtesy of the taxpayer. He pressed on and is seeking to cut the number of councillors from 63 to 21 in an effort to save a further £800,000. He has axed many of the Mayor’s other perks, including the chauffeur.

He has withdrawn Doncaster from the Local Government Association and the Local Government Information unit saving a further £200,000 and then made the following, almost legendary comment:

"Doncaster is in for some serious untwinning. We are twinned with probably nine other cities around the world and they are just for people to fly off and have a binge at the council’s expense".

Could it possibly be that Doncaster has a new mayor, someone who is upsetting the political classes and making them feel a little less perky and comfortable? Perhaps they don't like him cutting his own salary (as a reflection upon those who want to bloat theirs further), and perhaps they don't like the fact he has no wish to indoctrinate. He's rocking the boat.

You decide what you think of that.

When You've Got Oil, You've Got Britain!

From the Daily Mail:

British police officers have been secretly training Libyan forces despite Colonel Gaddafi's refusal to cooperate over the investigation into the murder of Pc Yvonne Fletcher, it has emerged.

The training programme, which was approved by then Home Secretary Jacqui Smith in 2007, was allowed to continue while Metropolitan officers were refused visas to investigate the shooting of Pc Fletcher outside the Libyan Embassy in London in 1984.

The lopsided diplomatic relationship was last night branded an insult to the memory of the murdered police officer, who was herself a member of the Met Police before being shot dead from within the Libyan Embassy in 1984.

I wonder how that Toynbee bitch is going to talk ZaNu out of this fucking corrupt mess. She's certainly fucking deluded when she says they have no nerve. They've got fucking sackloads of that from what I can see.

And nice to see pigface Jacqui was in on the act too. Would someone tell me exactly what is the difference between a Labour politician and a drug baron? Seeing as how both are willing to leave dead people in their wakes to get rich.

All cunts.

Fascism and Anti Fascism. It's All An Excuse For a Fucking Fight

The latest weekly dust up in Brum has occured.

In looking at the photos in the above linked article, all I can see is one bunch of thickos fighting another bunch of thickos.

The political elite do seem rather quiet on this recent spate of trouble though. Anyone would think they'd planned it!

But I'm a cynic so I'll shut up before some Labour wankspy has me thrown behind bars for defamation (or whatever the group term for defamating an entire party is).

Give Me Fucking Strength!

Today is the day when it becomes illegal to sell lightbulbs that actually work.

From the above linked article:

In Britain, trading standards officers will be carrying out inspections and members of the public will be able to report any shop continuing to stock the illegal bulbs.

Any individual found importing the bulbs into the EU will face a £5,000 fine and it could be an unlimited amount for big companies.

If I should happen to spot any retailers selling offending lightbulbs whilst out later I shall save them the worry of prosecution and buy the fucking lot!

Besides, what kind of sad, anal, submissive, arselicking wanker is actually going to report their local Wilkinsons for stocking a product that is perfectly functional and decent value for money? I'd love to meet such a person, I don't think I'd stop ripping the piss out them for the rest of time :-)

Oh, and if the EU really wants to cut carbon emissions that much, perhaps it should stop fucking expanding.
