          The Greens are simply , great big fat water melons.

          Water Melons : Green on the outside. Vivid red inside.

          With NO substance at all. A Waste of Space.

          Melons by name, and Melons by NATURE.

          All MELONS.

          MELONS

          They have some very strange policies overall

          • Carry On Don't Lose Your Head (1967) says:

            What’s their policy on world population?

          • Gordons favourite Butt Plug says:

            Bianca Jagger was on the Politics show with a slot about Cockermouth and the rest of Cumbria being the direct result of AGW aka Changeable Anything.

            She said the Global Warming was the very biggest problem in the World right now!

            So it isn’t over-population or disease control. So said Bianca.

            The interview was held in her magnificent house with ultra expensive furniture and pictures and a view to die for.

            So all the bored rich are gladly jumping on the mythical bandwagon for populist reasons.

            Her main concern may have been the thought of losing the Maldives to rising sea levels. One less playground to ponce around in would indeed be devastating.

            Love the music Mick, but the Missus is Bonkers.

          • South of the M4 says:

            Their policy on defence is to sit on it.

          • Drains are for all the year not just when it rains says:

            “Bianca Jagger was on the Politics show with a slot about Cockermouth and the rest of Cumbria being the direct result of AGW aka Changeable Anything……”

            Sorry luv,

            The real reason is that local councils are not doing proper dredging of waterways;run-offs and water channels; drainage maintainance plus they are letting contractors build on land that for centuries has acted as flood plain.In addition as regards Lake District trees that have acted as soak ups for excess rainfall for centuries are being felled e.g. around Lake Thirlmere

            So no “global warming” at all just people not maintaining the infrastructure of UK plc

          • So someone who’s sole credibility is based on receiving sperm from a rockstar is now a credible source on Climate modelling?

          PoW says:

          Yes they are opposed so they are stemming stem cell research!

          • The water rat says:

            I am sure I saw the watermark from the flood water on Bianca’s £200 per roll wallpaper at her Knightsbridge house.

            Still,anything that goads Brown is music to MY ears – keep it playing Ms/Mrs or whatever Jagger.

            Cockermouth is known locally as ‘Nobgob’

            Thought you might like to know that.

      You misunderstand. No one gives their money to Labour. The unions just take it from their members and hand it over to Labour.

      Hope this helps

      • 338

        It would be funny if the Next government made it illegal to bundle Labour donations and Union membership and made union members have to opt in every single year.

      • 355
        Gordons favourite Butt Plug says:

        Its the right thing to do.

        In reality this is surely contravening the workers human rights?

        There appears to be no opt out, and that can’t be right. Union dues should be split into 2 compartments. One for the right reasons, and the other for political donations.

        The latter should NOT be compulsory. And should be calculated as an expression of the large percentage of total fees collected given over to any political party.

        ie If £10m is collected in total, and £5m is given to any political party. Then the dues should be in two equal parts. Simple and effective.

      Running Blair 2.0 (Cameroon.exe)

      • 314

        Cameron 1.0 has failed to install properly.
        Please make sure you delete all of Blair V20.07 as this software corrupts.
        If you still receive an error message look for file Browncurse. This is a Trojan that lurks in the registry under Chancellor/dissatisfied/bitter.
        Make sure to delete BrownCurse V1.0 Prudent as this is a false program and does the opposite of what it was intended for.. Sometimes V1.0 Prudent cannot be removed by normal process. Even Super-euroelection-Meltdown-coup may not remove this stubborn robot program.

        BrownCurse v2.1 is a very damaging program that can transfer all of you finances to a failed bank, transfer your DNA to the police, lose your personal data and bankrupt the country. It also often comes with a very nasty piece of spyware called HarmanSmith that monitors your bin levels, methane emissions, alcohol consumption and emails.
        Fortunately running election 2010 should remove both Browncurse and Harmansmith.

          Mr Ned says:

          Nope they are hiding in the registry, self-propagating key inserts and locking the policies. Installing Cameron 1, 2 or 2.5 will operate on the same EUKEY_CLASSES ROOT data registry.

          I think we need to do a low level format and reinstall a completely different operating system altogether.

          Although Cameron promises to be a newer, fresher and better piece of software, the OS sucks and will not allow the functions or operations required to create a clean, workable system.

          That darned EUKEY in the registry will STILL be locking the allowed procedures and preventing the system from working properly as the users require it!

      Unions will just stump up more money. No Problemo.

      The Unions are an anachronism. Just totally out of step with the real world.

      And in fact another business model, like professional charities. If they were doing the job for the right reasons it should be all honorary.

      Instead, like charities the top slice of these organisations are just as bent as Parliament.

      in the interests of fairness and doing the right thing i have commissioned an impartial independent review to present a white paper on the necessity of modernising our party funding to allow for public funding. the only ones who could oppose such a move are do nothing tories who went to eton. all donations to a party from a trade union will be matched ten-fold by the government, all other donations are banned.

      8:60 The Muslims should muster all their power and might, including steeds of war (tanks, planes, missiles…) to strike terror in the hearts of the unbelievers (by killing them—ibn Abbas).

      47:4 When the believers meet the unbelievers they should smite at unbelievers’ necks (when you fight against them, cut them down totally with your swords—ibn Kathir).

      8:39 Fight until there are no more unbelievers (non-Muslims) and tumult (this verse overrides all other verses on fighting the infidels, including the Jews and the Christians); if they accept Islam then leave them alone.

      4:56 Unbelievers will be cast in fire, their skins roasted often, skins changed often for more roasting (the skin will be roasted seventy thousand time every day; the new skin will be as white as paper—ibn Kathir).

      4:89 Seize and slay the renegades (i.e., apostates of Islam) wherever you find them. (Maududi 4/118: This is the verdict on those hypocritical confessors of faith who belong to a belligerent, non-Muslim nation and actually participate in acts of hostility against the Islamic state).

          Shopping in ASDA fucks your DNA. I used to live in Dunfermlien. There is an ASDA and a TESCO. Occasionally I’d swing by ASDA ‘cos it was more convenient.

          Now the gene-pool of Dunfermline is a bit fucked in any case being mainly composed of generations of folk who’ve lacked any ambition to leave and I’m an ugly fucker although average for Dunfermline. But I have to tell you that in ASDA Dunfermline I am a Greek fucking God.

          The only rational explanation is that there is some kind of high energy gamma-ray field all around the store that over time completely knocks lumps out of folks DNA and completely mutates the clientelle and store assistants.

        Atlas shrugged says:

        Murdoch is no more a Republican, Democrat, Conservative or Liberal, then any other media owning, establishment sanctioned puppet. Murdoch, may be a highly dishonest high establishment tool, but unlike myself, he is clearly not at all stupid. He knows what party politics is all about, and it sure as hell is NOT anything to do with republicanism, nationalism, conservatism, liberalism, or libertarianism, and as we can now all surly see with our own eyes, ultimately nothing to do with representative and accountable democracy. Unless of course the establishment chooses highly selected bits to appear to be.

        The establishment has systematically used all of these almost identical establishment created ideologies to provide, hopelessly divided, confused, terminally ignorant, and therefore far more servile peasant class. Which means all of YOU my friends, whether you consider yourself to be rich, or not.

        What we have NEVER actually voted for, is precisely what we have ended up with. In this country we have not ever been given a serious or electable British NAZI or Communist Party to vote for. Which goes a long way in explaining why we are now run by NAZI’S and Communists, and indeed NAZISM, and Communism.

        The NWO takes official control in just a few days time. Just remember YOU WERE WARNED, and also please try to remember the brave people who warned you, and FAR FAR more importantly the people who MUST have known, or strongly suspected, yet simply pocketed the cash, and said nothing.

        Please note. The establishment still has many roads to cross and urine to forcibly extract. However if you continue to collectively allow the piss to be taken, without so much as an audibly large grunt of dissatisfaction, then don’t be surprised if one day reasonably soon, they stop bothering with the piss taking, and things start getting REALLY SERIOUS.

      Considering that this inquiry is not a trial, then there is no lawful impediment on the participants from lying.

      Claiming that the intelligence services believed that Saddam was a threat and still in possession of WMD is pure fantasy. Well the top-brass were trying to invent evidence all the time, but they were foiled and this was reported extensively in the blogosphere at the time. Thanks to the intelligence spooks on the ground, Not ONE claim made by the top brass was verified. All the claims of a serious threat were debunked.

      They never provided a single, corroborated claim that withstood scrutiny, let alone proof. Surely, with allegations as serious as these, they should have provided overwhelming proof of their claims before going to war? Instead of inventing rubbish that was debunked at the time?

      Not that the successful debunking of each of these wild claims was reported by the mainstream media who parroted the Labour (and tory) leadership’s propaganda.

      The media should have been openly questioning every claim the Government made and exposing their lies at the time.

    “BREAKING NEWS”

    Two Beefeaters at the Tower of London have been dismissed after an investigation of gender abuse and bullying in the workplace. A colleague worker who complained, who is a woman, but who cannot be named for legal reasons said that this was a triumph for common sense and that the decision announced today was a landmark for people of either gender who were consistently called “beefy”. It was held by the enquiry that the term would be particularly offensive in her case because she was a vegetarian.

    Harriet Harperson immediately commented that this “just goes to show that the Gov’t legislation on diversity, equality, multiculturalism, discrimination, respect, minorities and attitudes-in-the-workplace is working”. She went on “In the interests of fairness I am pleased to welcome two new conscripts to the client state and as long as the offenders say they are ’sorry’ everything will be al-right”

    Interrogated about the verdict Ian Botham asked “What do you think Lamby? who replied “20 minutes per pound at 180- no bollocks, we’ll spit roast her!”

    Five bellys Smith said “Dunno what she was worried about- how would she like to be called ‘Porker’ all the time.”

    Two bogs Prescott was unavailable for comment as he is convalescing after having a gastric band fitted. His spokesman said “We were able to fit the whole band into John’s gut, including their instruments and carrying cases, and the van, with room for several pies to spare. I am led to believe that their first number will be ‘food, glorious food’.

    Alistair Darling confirmed that at no time were the Crown Jewels at risk, “I sold them last week on a closed tender. In my view it is not in the public interest for anyone to know what I got for them. This could well compromise National security, particularly at a time when we are two Beefeaters short. We hope to fill these vacancies quickly and will consider all applications which comprehensively itemise the candidate’s age, sex, religion, ethnicity, disabilities, country of birth, any special dietary requirements and voting intentions.

    Thing is, if it becomes apparent that a hung parliament is likely, then there will be the full media spotlight on that prospect. It will rapidly become apparent that Brown will not be allowed to stay as PM in that event. Lib Dems with 60 or more seats will be king-makers either for a minority Labour government or a Lib-Lab coalition. Brown will probably be quite happy to depart by that point, able to claim he delivered continued Labour government in the worst recession since the 1930s.

    David Cameron’s closest Tory chums will make £7.1MILLION from his plans to slash inheritance tax for the super-rich.

    A Mirror investigation has found that 18 millionaire members of the shadow cabinet will save up to £520,000 each under the Conservatives’ flagship policy.

    Among those benefiting from the controversial plans to raise the tax threshold to £2million are shadow chancellor George Osborne, foreign secretary William Hague and Mr Cameron.

    Angry trade union leaders last night said it was a blatant example of the Tories looking after their own. Unite general secretary Derek Simpson said: “They want to feather their nests but make hard-working families work longer and for less.”

            THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.

            Some things about living still weren’t quite right, though. April for instance, still drove people crazy by not being springtime. And it was in that clammy month that the H-G men took George and Hazel Bergeron’s fourteen-year-old son, Harrison, away.

            It was tragic, all right, but George and Hazel couldn’t think about it very hard. Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn’t think about anything except in short bursts. And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains.

    Con artist Cameron is Public Enemy No.1

    Cast Iron Dave is getting a battering in the media after his “do nothing” policy on the floods is backfiring.

    Source: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/columnists/maguire/2009/11/25/con-artist-david-cameron-is-public-enemy-no-1-115875-21847492/

    By Kevin Maguire 25/11/2009

    “Flooded Cumbrians expose the dangerous folly of David Cameron’s Thatcher-like fatwa on public servants.

    The heroes of the Biblical rains are the police, firefighters, helicopter pilots, council engineers, ambulance crews and squaddies.

    Swamped residents and washed-away businesses need more help, not less, from Whitehall and the county council.

    I don’t underestimate the valiant efforts of lifeboat volunteers but it’s public employees who are taking the strain of the operation.

    Yet Cameron’s obsession with cutting services would inevitably undermine rescues and hinder clean-ups.

    The chief Con-servative condemns what he derides as “Big Government”, salivating over a small state in what he calls a post-bureaucratic age.

    Translated into language we use, that means abandoning people to fend for themselves, turning the clock back to the spiteful Tory devil-take-the-hindmost dogma of the 1980s. I don’t hear waterlogged Cumbrians demanding a small state – they need and deserve all the assistance they can get.

    Cameron Con-servatism is the same hands-off philosophy that saw his party’s US poster boy George Bush remain on vacation while Hurricane Katrina wrecked New Orleans.

    The Tory leader’s duplicity, the policy equivalent of cycling with the chauffeur following behind in the limo, leaves him giving mixed messages.

    Hardcore Cons are treated to bloodcurdling roars about slashing this and that and everything except the tax perks and privileges of the rich, revealing his inner Son of Thatcher.

    Cameron’s warped from husky-hugging Mr Nice to austerity’s Mr Nasty to his latest incarnation as Mr Double-Dealer.

          David Cameron was left embarrassed last night after his plans for cutting Britain’s debt were savaged by the International Monetary Fund.

          Business Secretary Lord Mandelson said: “It illustrates the economic risk the Tories pose. The fact is that they continue to oppose the real help to small businesses we have given through the recession.

          “They would choke off the recovery by withdrawing the economic stimulus prematurely.

          David Cameron got it wrong on the recession and is wrong on the recovery.”

            We do not have a recovery of any kind at present. We have the effects of huge amounts of borrowed money being spent on nothing.

    David Cameron crisis as Tory poll lead slashed

    Source: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/11/23/desperate-dave-115875-21842852/

    Rattled David Cameron tried to gloss over Tory plans for savage spending cuts yesterday after a shock poll revealed his lead has been slashed.

    Alistair Darling accused Mr Cameron of being “two faced”. The Chancellor said: “He says he wants growth but he has opposed our action to help the economy.”

      Britain is still in recession because thanks to the reckless economic policy of the imbecile Gordon Brown we haven’t a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. Economically speaking.

      Our ’stimulus’ aka deficit is about twice the G7 average and they’re all out of recession whereas borrowing 200bn quid and printing 200bn quid has still failed to rig a single quarter of growth in the UK. This is due to the uniquely incompetent Labour government that utterly fucked the economy for a full 10 years prior to the wheels coming off.

            I’m afraid if Campbell had any part in this it will be merely because Blair asked/ordered him how best to manufacture a case for a war that he (Blair) had already pre-determined was going to happen.

            Campbell may well be the Goering of the piece making sure all the propaganda justifying the whole exercise was in place but the organ-grinder, the ‘thought leader’ was definitely Blair.

            And since Blair clearly didn’t present a convincing case to his cabinet (exit Robin Cook stage left) then we can be reasonably certain that they were all in on the subterfuge too. If I were Clare Short I wouldn’t be taking any long walks in Sutton Park. The rest of the fuckers will be observing the code of omerta.

            Although with that shower of yellow-bellied troghers it shouldn’t be too difficult to find one who’ll squeal to save their sorry arse from the Den Haag.

            There was a show on Panorama on Monday describing the use of a concept in law of ‘joint enterprise’. I’d say that in a country where the police and judiciary hadn’t been so thoroughly comprimised that Blair’s entire cabinet would be in the frame for a good long spell in jail.

            As it is they’ll be getting 200 quid a day expenses for the rest of their natch. Arise Lord Blair. Arise Lord Brown.

    More dodgy science in Guido’s link “Climategate”.

    It has been suggested that the global warming effect of farting livestock could be controlled by fitting herbivores with a pilot light on their arsehole, thus igniting the methane and turning it into water and the deadly carbon dioxide.

    Unfortunately the poor cow would also need to be fitted with a catalytic convertor so that it did not not breach EU oxides of nitrogen emission levels.

        This has always been the crux of the matter, the believers never understand fully what they are willing into existence and the full ramifications and outcome if they get their way, hence why they are gullible and stupid enough to naively believe in the first place.

        If the greens got their way, they would have nothing, could offer nothing to protect themselves, to keep order in society.

        If they say their needs to be less people producing carbon for the planet to survive, who do you think will rise to the top then in that equation and who will be for the chopping block.

        Sooner or later the people who would kill you without batting an eyelid are going to have the power over the wet Guardian readers asking for peace and tolerance who wouldn’t say boo to a ghost.

        If the veggies got their way, they would perish as soon as people turned to cannibalism.

        It is like the communist supporting farmers who after communism got implemented, what happened to them? forced collectivisation, they had their farms taken from them and given to the state and if they were not shot, alot of them got stuck in work camps.

        These people have no grasp off what they are bringing onto themselves and will not until it is too late.

      Breaking Wind says:

      Another problem arises when the non-domesticated herbivores are considered. If all herbivores on the African Savannah were fitted with pilot lights, in times of dry weather, there could well be danger of bush fires, thus exacerbating the global warming the pilot lights were designed to control. On the positive side, it would clear a lot of land for agriculture, and provide excellent supplies of ready-cooked antelope and elephant, thus solving the African famines at a stroke.

    Tens of thousands of civil servants may be moved out of London in a dramatic downscaling of Whitehall under Labour plans to cut public debts and instil a culture of “smarter government”.

    Leaked sections of a report to be published in a fortnight reveal that the government wants a review into the possibility of relocating some of the 132,000 civil servants and 90,000 employees of “arm’s-length bodies” currently based in London and the south-east.

    Please be advised on the intent and Common Purpose of Griffin, and his lot of idiot followers.

    Griffin is most likely EMEYE 5 IMO. He looks like one, acts like one, sounds like one, and said by some who know Griffin infinitely better then myself to actually be a highly activated one. The same is said by some to be the case with regards to Farage.

    The inevitable eventual public use of the term ‘New World Order’ in the context Nick Griffin has now suddenly decided to use it, could very well turn out to be a turning point in European Politics. It is now clear to myself, why the BBC was instructed by the establishment to start giving main stream coverage and therefore much essentially needed publicity to the so called far right.

    Opposition to the NWO is being deliberately marginalised off to the CRAZY PARTY/PARTY’S.

    My advice, for what it is worth, is to largely ignore The British Nationalist Parties highly selective nonsense. This is not an issue of left, right or middle, or indeed deeply divisive and self-evidently counter-productive party politics of any kind. It is one of freedom or repression, US or THEM, enlightenment or ignorance, lies v truth, good against EVIL. As it always has been, and let us hope, always will be.

    Go to your MP, state your concerns, and demand HONEST answers, whatever the colour of the puppet clowns old school tie.
