Jonah Goes to Hollywood, Spain

This is not up there with the town Jonah Brown spent his summer holidays in being subjected to a once-in-a-thousand-years flood consequently.  He just muddled up the name of one of Hollywood and the world’s most recognisable actresses.

Is he deaf, forgetful or stupid as well as half-blind?  He told the House of Commons at Prime Minister’s Questions: “I am very grateful that Renee Witherspoon is leading this campaign…She spoke movingly at the funeral of (film director) Anthony Minghella and I welcome her to the House today.” Of course this never happened, like Spain being a member of the G20, it is just another figment of the Prime Mentalist’s confused imagination…

          Harman and Daves racist attack on the English says:

          Harriet Harman’s flagship legislation to tackle inequality cleared the Commons tonight, amid protests that it promoted positive discrimination.

          MPs gave the Equality Bill a third reading by 338 votes to eight, majority 330. It now goes to the Lords after being carried over from the last Parliamentary session.

          The bill was savaged by Shadow business minister John Penrose who claimed the could mean employers discriminating in favour of minority applicants rather than handing out jobs purely on merit.

          Political parties will be allowed to use positive action to boost the number of black and Asian candidates and permission to use all-women shortlists will be extended.

        That was a very public showing of what this crappy government can do to people.

        There was a cover-up regarding how long it took the medical team to arrive and it was only as a result of persistent FOI requests did he found that the MOD had changed the written log. Only when he found that there was an unedited, uncensored, version of the radio log between ground controllers and the helicopter pilots did the truth start to leak out.

        I’ve got great admiration for those that are preapred to bear arms to defend me and my way of life. However, I have absolutely no respect for those that made the decision to go to war. Until the sons and daughters of our bastardised leaders start being sent to battle, they can all fuck off.

        RIP all those that have died fighting this piss-poor excuse of a war.

        We are still roughly the 5th or 6th largest manufacturer by output, roughly pro-rata to our overall economy. (current exchange rate volatility makes a fair comparison hard at present)

    BROWN REVIVES U.K. CLASS WAR IN JIBE AT ETON, CAMERON

    http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601102&sid=aTPjMi8ecVsM

    Gordon Brown marked a return to class-related attacks on the U.K. Conservatives with a series of jibes about leader David Cameron’s privileged background, styling the opposition as focused on helping the rich.

    The prime minister used his weekly questions session in Parliament to criticize opposition plans to raise the threshold of inheritance tax, something that helps wealthier people more. He linked the policy to the background of leading Conservatives, who would personally benefit from the policy.

    The ruling Labour Party has gained support in opinion polls since Brown and other ministers stepped up attacks on bankers and planned a series of tax increases on the rich. In April, the top rate of income tax will rise 10 points to 50 percent for those who earn more than 150,000 pounds ($250,000) a year.

    Tax on the Rich

    Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling may raise that rate to 60 percent to those with annual incomes above 500,000 pounds, Ernst & Young LLP says. The measure would raise 2 billion pounds for the Treasury, which releases its pre-budget report on Dec. 9.

    “Income tax is an area where the chancellor will be looking for ways to raise revenue,” Chris Sanger, head of tax policy for the accounting firm, wrote in a note today.

    Class War

    In 2008, Labour tried to use the class issue in a special election for a Parliament seat in Crewe, northwest England. The party dressed activists in the Eton’s uniform of top hats and tailcoats and described the Conservative candidate as a “toff.” Labour lost.

    Labour lawmaker Chris Ruane also raised Cameron’s schooling during today’s session. “The economy will be a right old Eton Mess” if the Conservatives win, he told Parliament, referring to the school’s strawberry, meringue and cream dessert, served since the 19th century.

    “This looks like the start of a new Labour strategy, but it may backfire,” said Ivor Gaber, professor of political reporting at City University in London. “There is no evidence that this approach to old-fashioned class politics will resonate in 2009-10.”………………………..

      jgm2 says:

      My missus just got a notification from work about the exciting tax arrangements after April 2010 for folk earning between 100K and 113K. It seems they will lose their tax-free allowance at the rate of one quid for every two quid they earn over 100K.

      Apparently this works out at a marginal rate of tax of 60% between 100K and 113K.

      60% tax.

      Oh for fucks sake.

      And do you know the worst part of it? It would be bad enough if that 60% tax would actually balance the budget. There would be some justification for balancing the budget. But it won’t. Apparantly raising the 40% band to 50% on those earning over 113K will only rasie a couple of billion quid. So if a 10% tax rise gets ‘em 2 billion quid then taxing everything over 113K at 100% can’t raise more than 12bn quid.

      But we have a structural deficit of 70 or 80bn quid. Minimum.

      It is pure headline-grabbing spite.

      That is what is so galling. It is not an effort to balance the budget. It’s just something to trap the Tories with if they dare complain. Blah blah… rich friends…blah blah…. Eton toffs.

        Lets face facts, their is nothing worth sticking around for in the UK anymore, something Labour and the lefties do not understand, what is the point of high taxes if the country is a shithole and not worth living in?

        Especially when you can take your pick of any other country in the world with more attractive conditions, also in the recession when countries are begging for investment and hardworkers, you have the pick of the crop.

        Sooner or later if things carry on the way they have been doing for 13 years all that will be left is beeboids, labour and swarmes of economic immigrants who have come with nothing and never intend to invest into the country, bleeding the country dry.

        Now that would be fun to watch from afar, when like ferretts in a sack they all turn on each other, although i think the winner is obvious, millions of bloodsuckers against a few thousand wanna be elites…..

        Oh – and you are absolutely correct, it is pure headline grabbing spite. It will achieve nothing by way of undoing the destruction wreaked upon the economy by 13 years of “Bust and more Bust” McDoom and his thieving band of Socialist Scumbags.

    BBC actually reporting on soldiers family getting another of Brown’s condolence letter,TWO years after their son died.

    He died 17th Nov 2007 and the letter was received on 17th November – although the letter had no date on it.

    It did also contain a typed apology from Brown’s secretary,apologising for the lateness of the letter.

    Quote from the bereaved father;
    Mr Sadler added: “It goes to show what this present administration thinks of our soldiers.”

    I wonder if Brown will be phoning Mr Sadler to have another of his infamous chats or is he too busy learning pathetic “put-downs” to use on Cameron and Clegg.

    Blair, Iraq and climate comrades

    http://www.newstatesman.com/uk-politics/2009/12/blair-iraq-climate-committee

    ………..Ask a simple question

    A couple of things about the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq invasion keep nagging at me. First, the committee, wanting to hear from “those mostaffected by the conflict”, has held meetings in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol and Belfast with relatives of British soldiers killed or missing. The overwhelming majority of those “affected”, however, live in Iraq, or used to until the invasion and its consequences sent them into exile. Will the committee be visiting the Middle East? If not, why not?

    Second, I have not yet heard the committee ask one simple question: If Tony Blair and others were convinced Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction, how did they weigh the risks of provoking immediate use against the benefits of invasion? And what measures were taken to protect against those risks? Unless London and Washington made some such assessment, it is hard to accept they seriously believed in the threat.

    Blair on trial

    Meanwhile, in the view I expressed on the inquiry last week, I find an unexpectedly militant ally in General Sir Michael Rose. The inquiry has no point, he writes in the Daily Mail, unless it apportions blame and becomes “the first step in a judicial process” which could lead to Blair’sindictment for war crimes.

    Rose quotes the example of Admiral John Byng who, after losing Minorca to the French, was court-martialled and shot. The precedent seems a good one, since Byng was cleared of cowardice (just as Blair might be cleared of lying), but found guilty of not “doing his utmost”. This seems the right charge against Blair for not checking the accuracy of the intelligence.

    Unfortunately, capital punishment (like torture) is no longer on the UK statute book. Perhaps extraordinary rendition could be arranged and Blair transferred to, say, Uzbekistan, where the sentence could be carried out without fuss………….

    Dave "Cast Iron Guarantee" Cameron says:

    Trevor the farmer was in the fertilised egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called ‘pullets’, and ten roosters, whose job was to fertilise the pullets’ eggs.

    Trevor kept records and any rooster that didn’t perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of his time so he bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone so Trevor could tell from a distance which rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells.

    The farmer’s favourite rooster was Gordon, and a very fine specimen he was too, but on this particular morning Trevor noticed Gordon’s bell hadn’t rung at all! Trevor went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover, but to farmer Trevor’s amazement, Gordon had his bell in his beak so it couldn’t ring. He’d sneak up on a pullet, do his job and strut on to the next one.

    Trevor was so proud of Gordon he entered him in the London Exhibition and Gordon became an overnight sensation among the judges. The Result? The judges not only awarded Gordon the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.

    Clearly Gordon was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them before they knew what was happening. Do you know a Pulletician called Gordon?

    CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY IN A DEMOCRACY

    http://www.adamsmith.org/blog/environment/climate-change-policy-in-a-democracy-200912034533/

    Recent opinion polls in the UK and elsewhere show that governments have failed to convince the public about the received wisdom on climate change.

    The Science Museum has been running a campaign called PROVE IT!, in which they asked people to sign up to the statement ‘I’ve seen the evidence. And I want the government to prove they’re serious about climate change by negotiating a strong, effective, fair deal at Copenhagen’.

    Visitors were overwhelmingly in favour: 3,408 counted themselves in, while 626 disagreed.

    BUT ON THE WEBSITE, AFTER ALLOWING FOR INITIAL MULTIPLE VOTING (LARGELY FROM THE ‘YES’ CAMP), 2,650 WERE COUNTED IN AND 7,612 COUNTED OUT. HARDLY A RESOUNDING MESSAGE TO SEND TO THE NEGOTIATING TEAM.

    It seems that the public just refuses to get the correct message, and it’s likely that ‘climategate’ and the recent scary TV ads have reinforced scepticism. The problem is that, short of voting UKIP, the electorate has no way of influencing policy at the next election: both Labour and the Conservatives are officially fully signed up to the climate change agenda.

    But this may not always been the case.

    It’s fascinating to see that, in Australia, the opposition Liberal party replaced their leader, Malcolm Turnbull, by Tony Abbott, on the basis that he would not support the goverment’s Energy Trading Scheme bill (which has now been duly rejected for the second time by the Senate). If, as expected, Kevin Rudd now calls a snap election, it will be equally fascinating to see what the Australian electorate thinks. It must surely only be a matter of time before a major political party in an EU Member State backs away from a hardline policy on emissions: despite appearances, most parties contain significant numbers of doubters. Then we can see whether there is truly a democratic mandate for radical carbon dioxide emissions reduction policies.

    Anyone hear Pravda this morning? The Today papers round up at 7.40 – three minutes Cameron bashing; quite startling, even for the BBC. It seems Dave is on the ropes, the world’s press out for his filthy Etonian guts. They had to go quite far into the Daily Mail before they found something anti-Dave, but they managed it.

    Now, I think he’s a soggy soft left social democrat twat, but then I’m not charged with a legal duty of impartiality….

    In other news, the world’s media is forced to crawl on bended knee to the might of the blogosphere who refused to let Climategate die – which brigs on the question, what would we do if there was no internet? Which bring forth another question, what happened when there *was* no internet?

    I think we can safely assume that anything we’re told about the world pre-WWW is a lie.

      Cigar Smoking Man says:

      Yes, when he is the apex of a giant pyramid of fear.

      Fear is strongly motivational for nu layber. Those with above-average greed know this too well, but anyone with an axe to grind, or a chip on their shoulder knows it also. So scientists play the climate change card, bankers play the collapse card, ACPO play the terrorist card, BBC plays the Murdoch card, feminists play the white male card, unions play the Ashcroft card, sink estate politicians play the riot card. About the only group not getting a good whack is the farmers, who are trying to play the badger card, but are not succeeding as they badly cooked their goose playing the foot and mouth card. Usually the outcome is government spending being thrown their way, but if the minister involved is particularly useless the outcome is some petty legislation. Five Bellies Smith is memorable, in one particular lather of fear she made the possession of certain cartoons imprisonable for up to 3 years, but in a way which has not yet been legally deciphered by any rational person.

      But what goes around, comes around. Fear is contagious. Spreading downwards, there is only so much of it to go round, and becomes tenuous enough that thinking people can see the puppets’ strings. But spreading upwards, the fear concentrates, especially when the pyramid conducts group-think (in both senses of the word) and no one considers themselves licensed to think for themselves. The individual at the top is then the equivalent of the biblical e/scapegoat, the final target and repository of a society’s fear. Using a technological analogy, one might say the social organization acts as a fear amplifier. (The load can drive the system backwards via back-emf, etc).

      Whether the individual at the top of the pyramid responds more like a goat (horned, or just horny), or more like a bear, or viper, or domesticated rabbit that is cowering under a shrub at the end of the garden, is embarrassing theatre, but merely contingent. Drugs of course are essential, as are make-up and media make-believe.

    Good news for monogamous taxpayers if Goredo actually keeps his promise to crack down on multi-wife harems. Most harems ‘belong’ to beardy followers of the profiteering Prophet, who had to make do with only 40 wives. The government guesstimates there are 1000 harems in the UK which probably means there are at least ten times that, most of them paid for by tax-paying non-bigamists.

    Worrying though how this crackdown well affect the domestic arrangements of renowned polygameisters like Alexandra Thynne and Felix Dennis. Will we soon be invited to bid for surplus ‘wifelets’ down at the local cattle market?
