Guardian and the hostages

clipped from www.guardian.co.uk Iraqi government officials may have colluded in British hostages' kidnap An investigation into the kidnapping of five British men in Iraq has uncovered evidence of possible collusion by Iraqi government officials in their abduction, and a possible motive – to keep secret the whereabouts of billions of dollars in embezzled funds. Over the past 10 months the Guardian has interviewed senior Iraqi figures and eyewitnesses as well as the former British military officer who investigated the kidnap for the men's employers. Their accounts allege that the hostage takers had contacts in the Iraqi government, and also that officials in the ministry of defence warned off witnesses to the kidnap. The senior intelligence source said: "Many people don't want a high level of corruption to be revealed. Remember this is the information technology centre [at the ministry of finance], this is the place where all the money to do with Iraq and all Iraq's financial matters are housed."

From Iraq to Westminster, the same stench of corruption.

British injustice continues

clipped from news.bbc.co.uk Hacker loses extradition appeal UK hacker Gary McKinnon has lost his latest High Court bid to avoid extradition to the US to face trial for hacking into US military networks.

Member of Parliament for Blackpool promised to resist the American extradition of this man, then promptly fell into his cowardly shell as this immoral and illegal government put the pressure on.
You want Brits to fight your illegal wars but you are not prepared to fight for our legitimate rights. Your silence, Gordon Marsden, on the Andy Miller situation only emphisise the fact that you are unfit to represent anyone except your odd - queer (sic) - associates.

Plod by name

clipped from www.dailymail.co.uk Mother, 40, thrown in police cells after lying pupils made up assault following bullying confrontation When Anisa Borsberry confronted a group of playground bullies she hoped it would finally bring an end to her 11-year-old daughter’s ordeal. The 40-year-old was marched out in handcuffs even though a claim that she had hit one of the bullies had already been withdrawn. She then had her fingerprints and DNA taken and was thrown into a cell for more than five hours. ‘After interviewing the children on a one-to-one basis the children all admitted lying and said they had made the whole thing up,’ said Mrs Borsberry.

British Gestapo cannot tell the difference between the victims and the perpetrators.
I wonder how many of the accusers will be charged with wasting police time or even malice? The Courts ough to be ticking over with prosecutions against inept police and malicious malfeasors.

Press Complaint Council public apology

For those with a memory, you may recall the furore about the BNP and their maligning of the Gurkha soldiers. Here is the reply from the Press Complaints Council - expedited..

Thank you for your email regarding the article in the Sun headlined “BNP sickos slur hero Gurkha”.

We have now completed our investigation into this matter. The complaint was resolved following the publication of the following correction

We have been asked to make clear by Adam Walker, a British National Party candidate in the recent European elections, that an election leaflet criticising the rights of Gurkhas to stay in the UK and featuring Corporal Kumar Pun, recently killed in action, was not published by Mr Walker or issued by his party as we stated on May 18. (Cl 1)

Mr Walker has accepted this in resolution of his complaint and the file has been closed on that basis.

Yours sincerely

Model killing.

clipped from news.bbc.co.uk Model's murderer jailed for life A man who murdered his model girlfriend has been jailed for life with a minimum tariff of 24 years. Ricardo Morrison had convictions for assaulting other ex-girlfriends The model, who had appeared in Hollyoaks and modelled for Cosmopolitan, dialled 999 after the attack, telling the operator, "I'm dying. He's stabbed me to death. I'm dying. Please help me."

His mother was/is a police officer and has been cleared of attempting to pervert the course of justice!!!
What is the fascination for a young white woman to have a black man in her bed, let alone in her life?
I retell the tale of a 15 year old boy who was viciously attacked by a gang on Blackpool promenade. He was but the third of a procession of victims who was attacked with lead pipes and heavy glass pint pots. Had that attack occurred today the victim would be charged with a racist outburst because he kept ranting "he's dead the Black bastard" as the surgeon put 60 plus stitches and a dozen clips in the lacerated face. Even to this day he gets cold sweats whenever a gang appears with a peroxide pussy and a gorilla swapping phlegm. Not fear for himself, but with the knowledge that he cannot say, do or seem to do anything because the law prohibits truth and history.
Is this the legacy the future holds for the English? No room for English men; they are in foreign parts defending corrupt Labour.

Is this the face of a rapist?

clipped from news.bbc.co.uk File loss blunder in rape case A man suspected of raping a woman 12 years ago cannot face prosecution, as the police have lost the case file. A judge initially ruled that Wendell Baker's DNA had been unlawfully kept A retrial cannot take place unless the original case file can be found.

The alleged victim died without satisfaction some seven years ago.
If you were guilty of speeding the police would have available every single piece of evidence imaginable.
Oh. The alleged victim was an elderly white woman. Is British Justice really colourblind?

Parliament again failing the Nation

clipped from www.dailyexpress.co.uk MPS TO CLAIM WITHOUT RECEIPTS MPs have approved a new secret expenses deal that will allow them to claim up to £9,000 a year each – without receipts.

Is it not time that this discredited Parliament was put out of our misery and let the people speak?
Make voting compulsory. Have an extra column which clearly indicates my/your wish not to vote for any of those participating. If and when that extra column becomes the majority opinion than all those who took part can be excused and another ballot takes place. That will be the first step towards real democracy.
Secondly, kill this latest shameful act. Where is that lame cow Harriet Harman and all her promises that all accounts will be public and subject to receipts?
There are millions of pensioners who will not subject themselves to means testing and live in poverty. For politicians to rub their noses in their enrichment and their abuse of privilege is enough to incite rebellion.
Please. Do not vote for any of the main parties because they – the powerful and the glorious – are unfit.

Blackpool friend KIA

This is just the latest exercise in poor reporting by the Gazette. In January they had most of the details of Andy Miller wrong, but never corrected. Address your ire to the perpetrator joe.robinson@blackpoolgazette.co.uk

Britain today

clipped from sarahmaidofalbion.blogspot.com The once revered concept of British justice is now a corrupt and politicised mess. Violent and habitual criminals are given light sentences or spend time in over-crowded prisons pampered and with all luxuries supplied whilst conversely, motorists and law-abiding citizens protecting their homes or acting in self-defence are punished mercilessly. Should anyone dare to suggest that porridge should be a harsher punishment, they will cross swords with the myriad of Human Rights NGO's whose self-perpetuating mandate is to always portray criminals as victims. Discrimination against any victim group: Criminals, Blacks, Muslims, Homosexuals, etc. is treated as a hate-crime or a violation of human rights and offenders will be forced to atone for their crime including attending "Corrective Behaviour Courses". Such obvious brainwashing to impose the Multicultural ideology is not deemed a human rights violation of course.

Iconic Britain cannot see Right and Wrong. When the moronic masses cannot see affray or assault, even when it is perpetrated on them, then there is little to add.
Steve Gerrard will not be donating to Victims of Crime as the mindless masses laud his excellent use of his fists against a man already being attacked by his friends.
We get only what we seek...
Rhodesia was beautiful. Zimbabwe is a ruin near Fort Victoria.

Cheap fares?

clipped from www.taxpayersalliance.com New Research: Departmental use of Taxis and Chauffeured Cars The business of Government, just like any other, often takes people out of the office. Whether for a meeting or an event, civil servants and ministers frequently have to travel, and sometimes a taxi or chauffeured car is the most appropriate way. 19 (of the 20) Whitehall departments spent more than £8 million on taxis and hired car services between them, averaging over £420,000 per department. “Current spending on taxis and chauffeured cars is excessive. When ordinary businesses are trying to save money by getting employees to take the bus, it is only fair that public officials do the same. Some taxi rides on the taxpayers’ pound are unavoidable, but too much is being spent on the luxury of convenience while cheaper options are available.”

Not in Blackpool? Councillor Ian Fowler has to travel first class by train because he cannot tell any interloper to get out of his seat. Something fishy about this former sailor?

The lazy sod will not respond to you either.

The Alickadoos are listening to the troops - at last.

clipped from www.modoracle.com Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup joined forces with Army boss Sir Richard Dannatt to say extra equipment WOULD save lives. Their calls contradicted the Premier who has insisted Our Boys had enough "to do the job". Chief of the Defence Staff Sir Jock also won a climbdown over troop numbers during a 40-minute showdown with Mr Brown at No10.

Readers of this blog will understand that I derive no pleasure after years of berating the effete politicians for demanding of the soldier that which he/she cannot attain themselves.
For years they have ignored protestations over military vehicles. Had but one politician the courage to listen and then report to the House of Thieves that they are wasting billions of tax payer money on vehicles the Rhodesian Army would never have used - and that over thirty years ago - there would never have been a consequential and significant loss of life.
For years it has been obvious that the military is led by donkeys only interested in their own pensions. How the truth is coming home to bite them.Shamedly at the expense of young and valuable lives. Note, not a single Labour politician has risked a minute in the true service of the Nation. The Conservatives have done little better.

Blackpool Veteran Major speaks -but never for me.

clipped from www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk And Blackpool councillor and veteran Major Jim Houldsworth, also a member of the Ex-Service Committee, added: "It will be partly a remembrance service for those who haven't come home safely and a thanksgiving service for soldiers who have returned to their families.

What is Houldsworth a veteran of? Choir services? Bad singing? Idiotic parades? Ignoring the real vets? Self promotion?
As a former Gunner, a veteran and a professional soldier, the further the likes of Bell and Houldsworth are away from any organisation for me and my fellow former injured regulars, the better.

A former lib-dem councillor

clipped from lobbydog.thisisnottingham.co.uk The particular variety of Lib Dem Bull**** Sally Morgan writes in response to being contacted by “apparatchiks” to ask for a bigger donation to the party. Read it all the way, it’s priceless.

I would have liked to see more of this around the country until I remember Blackpool. Given the choice the Tory hyenas or Councillor Dougie Green Lib Dem, then I would have to change a conviction of a lifetime and ditch the dross that calls it Blackpool Conservatives.

A United States Marine

The train was quite crowded, and a U. S. Marine walked the entire length looking for a seat, but the only seat left was taken by a well dressed, middle-aged, French woman's poodle.
The war-weary Marine asked, "Ma'am, may I have that seat?"
The French woman just sniffed and said to no one in particular "Americans are so rude. My little Fifi is using that seat."
The Marine walked the entire train again, but the only seat left was under that dog.
"Please, ma'am. May I sit down? I'm very tired."
She snorted, "Not only are you Americans rude, you are also arrogant!"
This time the Marine didn't say a word; he just picked up the little dog, tossed it out the train window, and sat down.
The woman shrieked, "Someone must defend my honor! This American should be put in his place!"
An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up, "Sir, you Americans seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You hold the fork in the wrong hand. You drive your cars on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir, you seem to have thrown the wrong bitch out the window."

For my regular readers who think I disparage too often against our Yankee cousins, they could not be so wrong. The fact that I have two sisters and their families in Canada gives me a close affinity to them and a great desire to have them safe. This does not mean I do not wish the people of the United States the same, but I make no apologies for nepotism. Thank you America for all the good things you have brought us. Shame about the Bush Wars.

More Canadians die in Afghanistan

clipped from www.theglobeandmail.com Chopper crash kills Canadian soldiers A helicopter crash possibly caused by mechanical failure claimed the lives of two Canadian soldiers on Monday, bringing Canada's death toll from the Afghanistan mission to four in as many days. The crash of the Griffon helicopter at an American forward operating base in Zabul province, about 80 kilometres northeast of Kandahar city, killed Master Corporal Pat Audet and Corporal Martin Joannette along with a coalition soldier from another country.

In the same week that a British soldier dies in a helicopter crash, two of our cousins die in the same theatre.
Bless the Canadian sacrifices.
