Ethical Dilemmas Arising in Journalist and Police Relationships
While journalistic relations with the police are in the headlines, the usual hand-wringers should pause before passing judgement. Whilst slipping coppers cash is morally dubious, is it worse than using what the recent Filkin report described as “long-standing tactics”? The Metropolitan Police report into “The Ethical Issues Arising From The Relationship Between Police And Media“ was clear, “Flirting is often interlinked with alcohol. Designed to get you to drop your defences and say far more than you intended. Be careful.” Such tactics are not unknown to hackettes from papers that consider themselves to be much more upmarket, almost on a different moral plane to the Sun…
A hypothetical dilemma for you to consider, which is less ethical: performing what the tabloid papers call a “sex-act” on a police officer for information, or paying for it? Normally less of a trail left with the former, if the evidence is swallowed…
It’s a lie. I don’t swallow.
But Piers Morgan does.
is that a picture of Brian Paddick off duty in Soho?
….about to connect somebody’s head with his truncheon.
Ali Dizaei back in chokey!

Er……….”BBC Home Affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said it was likely Dizaei would be released after three months due to the time he has already spent in jail.”

Have you seen Sean Penn meeting the Argentine President where he said ” the world today cannot tolerate ridiculous demonstrations of colonialism”
see http://www.buenosairesherald.com/article/92675/the-world-cant-tolerate-any-more-ridiculous-colonialism-sean-penn-says-after-meeting-cfk
He won’t be nominated for a BAFTA anytime soon
I have not done this for years
Bloody Yanks – while our soldiers die in their stupid wars they stab us in the back. Unless he was referring to that ugly bitch Kirchner’s seeming desire to colonise the islands for argentina, just as they wiped out the indigenous populations on the mainland.
The Falklands is receiving low media attention in North Anerica. Penn is an idiot.
You should know by now that the “special relationship” betwen the US and the UK is the same as that between a dog and a lampost. When an American rig fitted out with American equipment blew up in the Gulf of Mexico it suddenly became the fault of ‘British Petroleum’ and the silly buggers demanded an apology from the Queen.
…manned almost entirely by Americans and approved by American personnel and procedures..
BTW
Why doesn’t Penn visit Hawaii if he’s so concerned about colonialism?
It will never stand up in court
If you bribe a copper then he is corrupt. therefore is in breach of the law.
Journos, police and politicons should not be above the law, however it seems that they are on a different planet.
I wish they were………..
Does Manchester count? Its certainly a shithole at the end of the universe.
According to the BBC, Salford is the centre of the universe.
Yep, and I’m the King of Bongobongo.
They only hold the biggest and most prodigious award ceremonies there. The BBC have singlehandedly changed the political map of the UK by generously moving ungrateful employees oop t’north from ‘that loondon’ with license fee payers money.

Thirty odd years ago, just after the Iranian embassy siege was ended by the SAS , there appeared a couple of hint- hint, nudge- nudge references in the press relating that a female tele -journalist was suspected of providing sexual favours to one of the uniformed personnel ( army or police, I forget which) in order to get more info. In our house at the time we all thought it was **** *****
Apart from Victoria Derbyshire, who flies ‘oop north and back for her crap Rado 5 programme every day.
How that quite squares with the BBC’s obsession with climate change is beyond me.
@stench
If they’re serious about CO2 emissions, why do they encourage the nation to run 30 million TV sets and a similar number of radios — not to mention computers and whatnot? Basic hypocrisy right there.
now listen boyo, – or girlo – or whatever it is nowadays things have changed since I was a boy I can tell you with Glynis and all her work and this is the knub of it work work like what we have done and all you get is a pension from the EUSSR and expenses of course and travel and lodging and the BBC keep asking me to go and give very expert opinion on the question what was the question and I tell Glynis I was nearly PM and she said the valleys would have rung with the sound of singing in the valleys see that’s where I come from and if you want anything done you just ask . . . .

Only because we have spent millions of pounds on contracts, removals and infrastructure in a benighted region of Manchester.
It is our very own urban renewal project at taxpayer expense and with a little help from the EC.
That’s Liverpool. Manchester is just an oily floater!
Call me old fashioned Guido but making any cash payment to a police officer is potentially a serious crime
I snowball. Yum yum.
Before or after rimming?
Three hail marys just for thinking about it.
A gold star for the picture editor.
It’s good there’s totty for everyone on Guido

Agree with that statement. +100
My father was a City of London policeman for more than 30 years.
If he’d been caught taking a back-hander, he’d have lost his job. End of.
An acquaintance in the 70s was a hardcore member of a biker gang. He joined the West Midlands police.
Wasn’t like that in the City Police.
Back in the 60′s my father told the driver of a Rolls Royce to move his car as it was causing an obstruction. It wasn’t moved so my father issued a ticket.
He was hauled up before the Commisi*ner – in full dress – to explain why he had done this. He would not retract his ticket or give an apology. My father told the Commision*r that he didn’t see why some people should be treated differently to others.
It turned out, that the car belonged to the Commision*r’s brother. Some time after that incident, my father sat a Seargeant’s exam four times and failed twice by one mark, and twice by half a mark. He remained a Pol*ce Const*ble all his working life.
That’s what life was like then.
Full of asterisks. I remember them well, tho’ I were but a nipper. We used to scrump them in the school holidays.
Wasn’t like that in the C*ty P*lice.
Back in the 60′s, my father t*ld the dr*ver of a R*lls R*yce to m*ve his c*r as it was causing an obstr*ction. It wasn’t moved so my father issued a t*cket.
He was hauled up before the C*mmisi*ner – in full dr*ss – to explain why he had done this. My father would not r*tract his t*cket or give an ap*logy. My father told the C*mmision*r that he didn’t see why some pe*ple should be treated dIfferently to others.
Sorry about asterisks – I was m*dded.
It turned out, that the car belonged to the Commision*r’s brother. Some time after that incident, my father sat a Seargeant’s exam four times and failed twice by one mark, and twice by half a mark. He remained a Pol*ce Const*ble all his working life.
That’s what life was like then.
In Brum in the 70s the West Midlands Serious Crime squad was named after its activities. On a smaller scale, you could pass the Police College on Hagley Road at 11.00 any night and watch the cadets holding up the traffic for their senior officers to exit. They needed the help because they were all totally pissed, despite driving home. That’s what life was like then.
Certainly very different from the City Pol*ce.
Where I live, I don’t think the kids know the coppers have legs, they only see them in police cars
Good on yer ol’ dad.
If you don’t have self respect you have nothing.
A regular in a pub I worked in twenty years ago once told me that he fell in with a group of off duty Metropolitan police who as they fell out of the pub legless included his vehicle registration along with their’s when they phoned the numbers in to be put out over the air as ‘ not to be stopped’.
.
.
Anonymous : v funny. 5 stars for you.
In the early 60′s I always went to the Police Ball on New Year’s Eve as we were never stopped when driving home afterwards.
It’s “drive” wot did it
That’s what civil service life is still like I suspect. Hence why there are so few whistle-blowers and why we end up with NHS death-camps, wars in Iraq and an anally r*ap*ed economy.
‘One word from you – and ypu can forget about your ca*reer/pension sonny..’ And the occasional live fire exercise such as the Hutton Report to dr*i*ve home the message. Labour even went one better and started arresting opposition MPs for good measure. A tactic not tried since Charles I.
Agreed. My father knew a lot of stall holders in Smithfield Market. They would regularly give stuff to Pol*ce Offic*rs – especially around Christmas time. Dad would never take anything.
Sadly, a simple spelling mistake could have worked in your father’s favour. Boaz.
The C*ty of L*nd*n P*l*ce: mission statement “Excellence in Serving the Corporation” (er, “Community” surely?).
not quite, it is who pays the piper buys buys the tune, The Corporation pay for the piper to play their tune and dance
I am suprised that the papers have never thought of hiding their misdeeds in the same way as Lord Cashbox of DeSleaze; base the operation offshore and hidden behind multiple companies and trusts based in opaque jurisdictions.
What, like the Scott Trust?
http://www.gmgplc.co.uk/the-scott-trust/
Heaven forbid that Plod or the Revenue ever look too closely at that particular nest of vipers…
Not really. The Scott Trust is now a limited company based in the UK with published report and accounts. Bit easier to investigate than multiple layers based in Belize, Turks and Caicos, Monaco, Lichtenstein and who knows where. But nice try to divert from a discussion of principle to a party point.
But nice try to divert from a discussion of principle to a party point./i
Quite so.
hiding their misdeeds in the same way as Lord Cashbox of DeSleaze
Your slip is showing.
Funnily enough, your raising of Ashcroft seemed a little party political too.
Sauce for the goose, dear boy – sauce for the goose.
We could try again – how about Windrush and the Blair millions? 8 million quid that should have been taxed disappearing in unnacountable “expenses”?
Not really boys; I would make the same point about a socialist Lord doing the same but (generally) they do not have the competence – only the same venality. Lord Cashbox is just the obvious example.
It would be nice to find out how Mangledbum got the money for his swanky house though.
As far as Ashcroft goes, at least he has created jobs and wealth in this country rather than creating non-jobs and destroying wealth as the Socialists did. If he hasn’t paid as much tax as you’d like then that’s just tough – he’s obviously clever enough to avoid such impositions.
Geoffrey Robinson??????
Not that house, COB – the new one he unaccountably bought when he returned from his European sojourn. Aluminium clad, I gather.
WTF was that little incident involving Robinson, a Police Van and Cocaine all about ?
And here’s to you, Geoffrey Robinson,
Mandy’s borrowed cash and now he’s own’d, ow- ow- own’d,
Gord blesses you Geoffrey Robinson
Tony makes a Lord of those who pay,
(pay, pay, pay… pay, pay pay)
….
ust a thought, if the police will accept acts/payments of journos for info, then what to stop them doing it for crimanils?
You media types havent really thought this thro, have you?
I don’t wish to be rude, but have you only just been weaned?
I’m getting very worried now. Are here still any straight coppers? On the basis there are, can they please arrest the bent bastards please…now? I have no such worries about red top journo’s. I expect them to be totally bent.
Unless you credit me with the image you have published of me modelling my new uniform, I will sue you.
You may wish to reconsider that boast – in case the Dark Lord pays you a visit for some recreation.
It is not really Lord Prescott, spelling is correct.
Man pleaded guilty to lobbing eggs at Sir S Bellend. Apparently because of a 20-year grudge. I wonder why.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tees-17015068
He absolutely screams ‘hunted’ in this picture. I’ve never seen anybody looking more guilty or furtive in his demeanour. He’s what the ‘sus’ law was invented for.
As seen elsewhere, reporting restrictions imposed until December 2012. Why?
The strange thing is, Terry Dixon is well known as a community helper and worthy. Why would a bloke who otherwise seems to spend his time tidying things up and being useful and a good neighbour, go so off the deep-end with Bell?

Probably upset that the chap who is paid to look out for his constituents does fuck all for them.
He’s known as the “Invisible Man” in them parts, but they still vote for him

Guido, you are a tease.
Glenda Slagg has been blowing Inspector Knacker but you can’t tell us more.
That’s the long and the short of it, isn’t it? Bastard.
That should be Glen or Glenda – to quote Ed Wood.
Count me in on thw sex-acts !
I like the ‘umour Guido
But did it make any difference that the KGB paid some British traitors, while blackmailing others through using “hackettes” (as you politely call them) or t a r t s as I would call them…
A multiplicity of tactics have always existed in the world to “get informartion”
But for journalists and their defenders (as you seem to be) to justify themselves by the allegedly wrongdoings of others is NO DEFENCE
Especially since those same hacks and hackers were usually after juicy bits to humiliate the Wags, shags, politicos and other glitterati of this world !! (who may have deserved it BTW but that it another question all together)
I don’t think an average journalist on a red top rag would know an “ethic” if it fit him in the face…
Except for our Kelvin who is just tyring to save the Sun probably for a huge sun of money…
“Against the orders of News International”
ROFL
Pull the other one, Ruppie…
Let’s not forget that this happened during Labour’s reign, when Blair and his bag carriers were best buddies with Murdoch.
And B’Liar was called into presence in the US to get his instructions
They do all that stuff to make sure that the press is free to defend democracy. Its practice for when they actually want to find out something important. Like when they found out about Max Moseley.
And the dodgy Indian cricketers.
Pakistani (they haven’t caught the Indians yet).
The trouble is that sources of evidence of wrong-doing amongst our MPs are few and far between. They (the MPs) rely on the fact that those who do have the evidence are not, contractually, allowed to grass ‘em up. Hence civil servants getting their P45s when they release ‘confidential’ information to opposition MPs. If this information is not forthcoming from civil servants and the police then the papers will have fuck all to write. Which is why so many of them took to reporting Labour press releases as ‘news’ and hacking celebs telephones.
Now the fact that our civil service and police are simply corruption enablers by keeping schtum while all manner of local and national governmental malfeasance and incompetence takes place doesn’t exactly make my heart soar. The fact that the police then reveal themselves equally corrupt by not spilling the beans gratis but for a back-hander makes you realise even more just what a bunch of crooks we have allowed to gain power over us.
Fucking crooks the lot of ‘em. And they’re seeking to blame the newspapers just as they sought to blame the bankers for the Imbeciles diabolical reign. Don’t look at us politicos with our 5bn quid, uncancellable contracts for aircraft carriers in our local area. Look over there – at the newspapers. They’ve been hacking people’s phones. Sure, we might have started a war in Iraq on nothing more than fabricated evidence but, Goddamit – they’re hacking celeb’s phones!!!
It’s all a question of priorities. The BBC/political class is just using distraction techniques to divert from the real sleaze.
MPs were seriously caught out with their pants down with the expenses scandal
I agree that the civil service is somewhat muzzled
But they can always whistelblow to a Privy Counsilloer for example (of they know about such things – it is meant to serve a purpose after all)
The problem there is that the civil service is third rate now in terms of integrity
On the police, they really do not “have to” take bribes – call it by its real name
And the Police seriously compromise justice by selling information expecially in delivcate investigations…flogging confidential police information is unacceptable and they should know it
Lastly, I agree about your point on the BBC…which is a clear national disgrace…biased…overpaid….hypocritcal and arrogant to boot…
Our MP has been caught out with his pants down on many occasions – and he just laughs it off. Must have plenty of friends in the Police, the Crown Prosecution Service, the Magistrates – and of course his local newspaper. Do you suppose they are all members of the same Lodge?
That’s the MP for Portsmouth South of course – everybody’s friend Handycock.
I investigated the MP for Portsmouth South and after six months, reported back to Parliament that I did not have the powers to investigate him. Boaz
The real question is
Is there anyone in the “elites” in Britain who still has any personal integrity ?
Or is it just Caligulaland ?
And dog eats dog and so on…
Is there anyone in the “elites” in Britain who still has any personal integrity ?
I fear not. The fucking system is rotten to the core. No wonder we have umpty million home-grown wasters just sitting at home claiming their benefits. I do find it very hard to blame them when they look at the example set by their ‘betters’.
The word “integrity” doesn’t feature at all in their vocabulary.
As my friend Gracey Fields used to say
“I am up to ass in moral midgets”
I like being called ‘Elite.’ It makes me feel very important. Boaz.
Why is Andrew Marr presenting a series about the Queen?
Nicholas Witchell is the Royal correspondent.
The ears are the key.
That and the lizard tongue.
Because “the Queen” sells
And Marr has to try and justify his obscene salary
His is just sordid
Obvious answer is that the Queen regards Witchell as an odious little prick.
Can’t imagine why she should think Marr is any different to be honest.
true – but she may not have had to deal with him before.
Because Marr isn’t little.
His ears and his ego aren’t little.
Sadly his journalistic talent and appeal to the public is.
Ytirstram – you got it in one. Imet him once and agree he is an obnoxious , er, reporter….
Ah. That’s what they mean by the free press, these days, then.
Judging by the way Cast Iron and the heavy mob can shut down all reportage of the inconvenient, even when it’s happening in open court, the alternative definition clearly don’t apply any more.
Yes!
Ali Desai goes down again!
Only for 3 months this time though – time served and all that. Still, maybe he’ll get Whitemoor or Winchester rather than a holiday camp…
The corrupt c unt was in line to become Commissionaire as those politically correct arse licking incompetent wankers at the Met promoted him all he fucking way up the greasy pole. Those c unts should be sacked !
Maybe they shafted him for Dick?
Commissionaire? He’s the bloke who stands outside Scotland Yard under that twirly thing all day.
Sounds about right for Ali then.
Its about an audit trail.
Reporter ‘bumps into cop’, they get friendly, cop says things he shouldn’t.
Reporter ‘bumps into cop’, hands him £500, cop says things he shouldn’t.
There can’t be a lawyer in the land who would choose to defend the latter over the former.
Dear me. Our Guido got a certain Broadsheet in his sights. Do hope so.
What, the Hellograph?
They would never stoop to sending attractive female reporters to charm a story out of a silly old man, would they?
Not likely given their youngest reporter is 93.
My God Guido
You talking about ethis
I never heard of the word until some copper who I had just paid told me that I was very ethical
Now now Toilets
I told you that you were an unethical b u m years ago
When you were trying to derail Nu Labour with Thuggie Whelan, Balls, Watson Brown and all the others disasters (for Labout and Britain)
If you just happen to be a newsp[aper proprieter who is in need of a bit of political cover because you have been caught bribing people too often you MIGHT just offer the most senior coper you can find a nice ittle column on the Times with a suitable stipend to refelc t the value of services rendered
Got to make Hay, man, while The Sun shines…
Can you think of anyone?
“Good God! Absolutely not!”
How very Dare you !
Let’s just celebrate the news that Ali Dizaei is on his way back to prison.
Out in 3 months
Excellent, but why have Mps like Tom Watson got away with being bent?
It is a good job BB is not writing on this blog, the picture of that half naked “copper” would send himall of a quiver
I love this man’s body…even better than me…Is he on you tube or the internet ?
Can you give me an introduction please Guido ?
Co-conspirators
This is all about saving News International
When you put together the glitterati (and not so glitterati, or self-appointed talentless glitterati- and there are a lot of them ) who have worked or continue to work for NI, including the Times and Sunday Times, you have an incredible lobby now swinging into action …
They are defending their very incomes…status…etc…if NIU goes down more than half of them will be out of work…an,d what will happen to all upmarket restauirants in the West End, Westminster,Soho etc ??? And all tbhose houses in Islington, Hampstead etc ???
I dont’ cry for them…
It’s nice to watch all these people enjoying the triumph of getting nice little payouts just because someone found out before they told, it’s a delight as the moneymaking will come to an end especially when the proprietorship decide that gossip is costing them more than they get in for reporting it, shooting the golden goose is a silly thing to do , especially when you rely on it for publicity.
It is also all about the FBI widening its investigation in the US of News Corps including Foreign Corrupt Practices etc which would earn Rubert Murdochn his son or his executives a jail sentence
About time. Who kept them on the leash so long?
Show me (enough of) the money, and I’ll introduce you to Cherry.
You can’t beat a nice sherry.
No amount of money you could pay me would ever make me want to meet Cherie.

It’s high time MPs expenses was back in the spotlight.
What about Tom Watson’s £100,000 claimed for a flat.
What about McNulty’s expenses.
Why has it gone so quiet?
Would Brown and his servant Watso be going after Murdoch if labour had won the last election. Watson make me puke.
Watson can be the devil himself (and may be) but I don’t care as long as he keeps after the dirty digger.
The BBC is far more dangerous than Murdoch.
I still haven’t finished with the 2009 accounts.
I believe there are a few more possible prosecutions in there.
Spot on ‘Doctor’. I just knew the viscious Leiber b*stards would try to find a way of getting back at the Sun when the Sun withdrew their support for them before the last Election, and what better back stabbing swine than Twatson to do the dirty deed! Hope he gets his soon (why is nobody digging around in his dirty linen?).
Urgh!
The answer must be in the question.
*goes to wash hands*
Oooohhhh. Look over there, while we do something far worse over here.

“I gotta know who’s squealin’ on me, Officer Houlihan!”
The detective looked at Fingers and gave a nod and wink.
“That’s confidential, Fingers. You know I can’t give you that information, which just happens to be in the manilla folder on my desk. But before we pursue this any further, I gotta go see a man ’bout a dog. When I get back, you, that folder and all its contents had better not have gone anywhere. I can trust you, right, Fingers?”
It was then that Fingers knew that all that palm-greasing he had done with that dumb mick Houlihan hadn’t gone amiss…
The only way is ethics…
High time that these constables were forced to do extra shifts lap dancing and share the proceeds with the tax paxyer to pay their way

Slipping coppers cash is not simply ‘morally dubious’ it is fuckin illegal.
If there has been anything like that going on then there will be convictions.
Or it could well be ‘morally illegal’ and ‘fuckin’ dubious’!
So who’s slipping you cash then, AW? Something to make lying low more comfortable?
Or are you back attending more unrecorded meetings with government officials?
“which is less ethical: performing what the tabloid papers call a “sex-act” on a police officer for information…..”

Feedback facility with full feedback fulfilment. Information evaluation on the inside track, ongoing evaluation straight from the coppers mouth. A fistfull of tenners gurantees new information developments with an exsisting ICP-Integrated Communication Provider.
Glasgow Rangers followed my fiscal policy and as you can see they’re doing splendidly.
I agree with Nick
Champagne all round to celebrate Ali Dizaei going back to the clink, albeit for only 3 months. But at least he can never be a police officer again. Fucking greasy arrogant wideboy. C unt has lived here for years and still talks with a thick (in both senses) iranian accent.

Definitely leading from the front.
10 year old deaf girl was trafficked here and abused, raped and tortured for a decade by a muslim couple. Oh and it turns out the couple were also committing benefit fraud. We should respect their right to practice their religion. If raping a 6 year old was good enough for their prophet (piss and shit be upon him) it should be good enough for all muslims.
But if only we had a government that would do something about the muslim infestation in this country.
May the profit pour his piss on you.
Don’t forget the 47 on trial in Liverpool with publicity blackout by bbc and newspapers.
In the BBC’s opinion, women’s rights are unimportant when discussing issues involving Muslim men.
Given a choice between media that sometimes breaks the rules for a story and gets hit when caught, and new police state style controls, guess what?
Things are OK.
Sure, there are bad cops, and bad journos but when they get as bad as MPs, councillors, and officials, we can all cut our wrists.
Or buy a gun.
+1.
On the choice of the two – reporters who pay for information to expose wrongdoing or politicians who arrest opposition MPs to suppress political opposition I know which I prefer. And that’s before we start on politicians suppressing information and hounding the informants to death in order to kick off a totally unnecessary war.
As a practitioner of the religion of p*ace, I am issuing a fatwa on the following.
Death to:
The West
Freedom
Democracy
Entertainment
Fun
Happiness
Women’s rights
J*ws
Dr Pepper
Wagon Wheels
Red Bull
Pork scratchings
Dizaei says he’s going to ap*eal the guilty verdict. At taxpayers expense no doubt, the stupid fucking c unt.
You have the surname wrong – should be Isaac Hunt.
Stella might be a Labour politician named after an expensive Belgium dr*i*nk but on this point I agree with her. These pay day loans offering you 70 quid today for a payment of 100 quid next week (Typical APR 20,000%) are taking advantage of the terminally stupid.
How the fuck can we, after sitting through a decade when any thick c*unt who could fog a mirror, was being offered 110% mortgages on 8 x their made-up salary to build up a ‘property portfolio’ stand for this fucking nonsense? Does nobody remember the ‘no more boom and bust’ economy that particular Imbecility resulted in? It was only three years ago you know. We’re still not over it.
If it was a fit bird sucking my plonker for a few tidbits of information then i’d be all for it.
suck away babe! – but don’t bite ffs! open yer mouf wider can’t yer!
One swallow does not a hummer slake.
European, or African?
Either, but never an American – that kind just chew you up and turn you into roadkill.
Of course a third term Libour government will nationalise you Guido
They will make you a fucking multi millionaire and we will start Guido Fawkes II in Nevis the day after…
BTW Guido
Did you know we are now self sufficient in electricity with the Geothermal project up and running ?!
A third term Labour government would most likely arrest Guido at four o’clock in the morning, tear his house apart, impound all his computers and then come looking for the rest of us for daring to question their latest imbecility.
Look what they got up to from 1997 to 2010. Abolition of double jeopardy, criminalizing free speech, suspension of Habeas Corpus, abolition of right to silence, arresting opposition MPs in parliament. Charles I got his fucking head chopped off for such insolence – and rightly so and yet that c*unt Jacqui Smith now has a regular gig on the TV and the wicked and malicious c*unt who ordered her is still paid out of the public purse and swanning around the world telling anybody who will listen how fucking great he is. The c*unts were trying to do away with juries too.
Another three terms of Labour? Fire up the killing fields.
That’s the problem in a nutshell – in a representative “democracy” with a sovereign Parliament pissing all our money away and eroding our freedoms, there isn’t an equivalent of Cromwell to stand up to the illiberal statist fuckers.
About our only hope would be for the Army to defend our freedom, but Rusty’s putting paid to that hope by disbanding them to the extent that the Common Purpose police force could probably give them a good scrap. There could be an independent judiciary, but they’re fatally corrupted by Fabianism and only interested in looking after Muslim terrorists and celebrities privacy, so we’re fucked there as well.
Fucking depressing, isn’t it?
Not as depressing as living in Greece.
Isn’t it about time ladbrokes paid on Greece being the country to collapse the Euro?

Ireland was only 2:1.
Greece was 14:1 coz they hid all their debts under the carpet and out in the shed and up the chimney. The little cheats.
These Club Med countries need to learn how to hide their debts in PFI like proper nations do.
You mean hide their debts in the sofa, Bill ?

Yup. Ain’t it great to see Dave and the Tory boys
Without bragging or making the least little noise
Have restored all the Labour lot took away?
Oh! They haven’t! Well, dear me and lackaday
When I were a lad, Labour differed from Tory
Now any difference is pure fairy story
WTF is the point of us having a judicial system if European judges can prevent us from deporting illegal foreign terrorists?
“I don’t have a solution for this, but in the end government has to invest in housing, and there’s not much money around so it’s a massive challenge. At the very least we’ve got to say ‘you can’t have a no housing anywhere policy’, what we have now is the worst of all worlds, basically.” says Miliband.
Guido asks can anyone work out what is he trying to say?
The only thing I can add is that it seems that Miliband’s arse does most of the talking!
At least he’s not following the Prescott plan of building on floodplains

“I don’t have a solution for this, but…”
Ed, here’s sage advice:
To be seen, stand up;
To be heard, speek up[modbot avoidance ploy];
To be taken seriously– WISE UP AND SHUT UP!
Let other people think you are a fool, before you open your mouth and confirm it.
I simply LOVE wind farms! Don’t you?
How about strapping one of those windmill thingies to Eric Pickles’ arse? One blast is worth a good few kilowatts, I tell you.
I can suck an Elephants balls dry, I’m a good girl.
can’t quite see the relevance to anything, but hey! – if you’ve got the will, I’ve got the time.
You’ll get a mouthful! – you’ll need a gob at least as big as Cherry’s!
Yoo hoo big boy !
The police pay informants don’t they?
Should they arrest themselves?

As Rangers are about to go into administration, there had to be a McDoom connection, and here it is

Truly disgusting. He’s never going to lose the weight. Instead of wasting all that money on providing carers, just let him die. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2100052/Worlds-fattest-man-Keith-Martin-lives-London-58-stone.html
Trying to imagine the coffin, and failing.
Er… just a thought. Why don’t his ‘carers’ (i.e. the people who are supposed to be caring for him) stop bringing him so much food. If he cannot get out of bed he cannot get extra food. All the carers need to do is to bring him the minimum every day and the pounds will fall off, won’t they? Or have they had a logic bypass??
He’s given up sugar in his coffee, that should help.
If you bother reading further (admittedly sod all point as its just an advert for a channel 5 prog), he’s on some sort of diet now.
perhaps hes just over anxious about food price inflation , and sees it as canny savings plan
If the public sector were a person, that’s what it’d look like
So it shuffles on a little further , greece agrees to Euro and bailout , by a larger margin than I thought , a few resignations , some socialists get angry and want debt to be written off , already considering elections that may overturn , austerity package and hardly started on proper tax system .
my favourite quote from greek mp this week “we have lots of islands with no one on them , we could rent them out on a long lease and put windturbines on them ” , rep “are you considering selling the acroppolis ?” , greek MP “No No that would be stupid ”
Stock markets managed a near 1% point rise , however we got a ratings negative watch as consolation , Merlin target miss wasnt much ,what 5% … and Lab shad treasury go into overdrive , being unable to even say if greece should pull out of euro or not ….. Biggest thing to affect UK is euro and labour have nothing to say ………
Does seem a bit heavy handed with the sun journos ,
Can you imagine the dumps?
