Man Douses Himself With Petrol, Lefties Explode
There’s a horrible story doing the rounds today after a man tried to set himself alight outside a Birmingham job centre. The man apparently tied himself to the railings outside the building before dousing himself with flammable liquid and setting his legs alight. Given the price of petrol, this was obviously a well thought out plan.
The usual suspects, plus others who should know better, have been quick to scream that this is the consequence of “austerity”. A particularly unedifying spin. However there appears to be no reason to believe that this had anything to do with the lack of jobs available to this man. Instead, eyewitnesses report, that the man was shouting about a screw up in receiving his benefits.
If only Labour’s 5-point plan for jobs and growth had been in place, he would have been fine, right?
Ha, Fucking loonies!!!
“Austerity, austerity.”
Fucking bullshit. The guy clearly has mental issues.
Wee Dave
So he was really protesting labours unfathomable benefits system.
Labour supporters are really fired up about the cuts.
Don’t be so offhand, it’s a burning issue!
(too soon?)
What cuts?
Oh, you don’t need any actual cuts to complain about cuts, you know.
How very old fashioned of you…
Don’t be so inflammatory.

You could have shown Ed’s blank piece of paper, AC1…
I heard a mexican call Ed a Sheet.
The outburst from the left on this story just goes to show what has gone wrong with our society today.
Too many Looney Lefties spinning chite and trying to brainwash the public with their madness..
FFS we can all see it for what it is.
The headlines of the British Buggery Corp and the guardian will liken this nutter to the Buddhist monks in Tibet who used this form of protest against the chinks. Tony bee and two eds flanders will be sobbing on screen
“the man was shouting about a screw up in receiving his benefits.”
Which goes to show how useless all governments are in providing “solutions”. Setting yourself on fire about it, demonstrates the peron was clearly mentally unstable. The result of socialist inspired “care in the community” no doubt.
Lefties whining about the failure of their own policies and handiwork, as always.
He’s four years too late looking for a job. I’m sure the Maximum Imbecile could have found him a job where his pyrotechnic skills could be put to use – burning all the fucking money.
And the cabinet office telephone log….
I am beginning to know how he feels. I bet there will be a number of offences identified by the CPS – meanwhile you can all but bankrupt a country (are we there yet?) and no expert in the Dept. of (In) Justice can even think of what to charge bankers with who are clearly guilty. Obtaining a pecuniary advantage perhaps? Common Law fraud? Come on! The gaols are awaiting Diamond Geezers.
You’ve fallen for the BBC/Labour lie.
It wasn’t the bankers. It was the Labour government who almost bank*r*upt the fucking country. In fact the only reason we’re not bank*r*upt is because since we can print our own money we can never, technically, be bank*r*upt since we can always just print more fucking money.
Unless you’re Zimbabwe who finally printed so much money that, in the end, they couldn’t even afford paper or ink to create more money with. Although I wouldn’t entirely rule out that scenario if the Maximum Imbecile had won the 2010 election. In fact I don’t entirely rule out that scenario if the proto-Imbecile gets in in 2015.
The bankers are still guilty in the same way the camp guards were in talking their orders from the high command. All are complicit and all should be prosecuted.
In that case we should jail the fucking imbecile voters too in the same way that we bombed Dresden and for the same reasons.
I can suggest a good way to implement the King of BoE’s recommendation – a shift of location of all of the Fockers to a place of execution and hanged by the neck until dead. Failing that, shoot the lot.
He should come and live in Liverpool (A beacon of Christianity). We understand everything about benefits up here.
labour still no policies , well not ones they dare talk about .
So dubious links to austerity then scream .
Volcano explodes in Pompeii is a clear show of anger at this Tory austerity package
Was he trying on the trousers Gordo Brown wore @ Leveson
I think you’ll find that mc broonshoes didnae wear those trous – they were in fact airbrushed in by murdochs lackies
Shame it wasn’t Tony Blair – If he set himself on fire – I dare say nobody in their right mind would pee on him.
It would be the quickest and most lucrative whip round to refill his jerrycan in living memory!
I wouldn’t even piss in B£iar’s mouth if his lying tongue was on fire.
If Tony Blair was on fire people would be dr*i*nking petrol before they would piss on him.
The news said he’d run out of matches and phoned Dave and Gideon to come help him – he’d heard you could start a fire by rubbing two pricks together.
Would those pricks be called Bryant & May?
Game, set, and, er match!
surely bryant and gay
He is too mental to work.
Typical Tory response
You’re going to need more of these.
http://www.capatexcare.co.uk/mens-/
Typical leftie response. Opportunistic, tribal, cynical, sanctimonious and ignorant.
Labour were in power between 1997 and 2010, remember? This man’s situation – IF it is directly relatable to the economy, is by and large the responsibility of your gang. The current government’s main crime is not reining in that madness fast enough.
So wind your fucking neck in.
What you said. +1.
+1 Well said JH
His wife says the experience has made him more appealing in bed, before he was always slumped on his side snoring, but now he lies there smoldering!
He smokes BEFORE sex now.
He probably qualifies for disability benefit now.
I’m trying NOT to laugh, you bad man!
(But +1 anyway)
Despicable little man, disability is not an issue to laugh about, I really hope you don’t experience it.
Poor, poor man. Nasty, nasty Tories.
Looking on the bright side, he may be entitled to invalidity benefits now
ANOTHER CASE OF THE TORIES LAUGHING AT ORDINARY PEOPLE AND HAVING ABSOLUTELY NO COMPASSION
Ordinary people don’t set themselves on fire.
Ordinary people?
Do these “ordinary people” live anywhere near you? Do “ordinary people” in your street set fire to themselves all the time where you live?
Thought not.
It was an Egyptian fruit seller who did the same and started the Arab Spring — maybe something may come of it.
I thought it was a Tunisian fruit seller.
I don’t think he was complaining about his benefits not coming through.
He was complaining about petty corruption and bureaucracy ruining his business selling fruit.
Hence why you don’t hear the MSM give out the reasons.
If that was the case, Cornwall would be on fire in seconds!
And what a bloody mess all that Arab Spring malarkey turned into…we’ve probably put a worse lot in place now than we had before but then again that’s what comes of supporting factions who you know fuck all about to keep the Guardian and BBC happy. Now they’re trying it again over Syria
On the upside they didn’t rig a fake dossier to justify a ground war involving British troops.
Whatever the locals in Libya or Syria or Egypt or any of these other shitholes get up to is entirely up to them. I say that our only duty to them is to make sure that both sides get all the guns and ammunition they need. And that they pay cash.
> Whatever the locals in Libya or Syria or Egypt or any of these other shitholes get up to is entirely up to them.
Only if we quarantine Islam off. They have a habit of leaving and ruining other nicer parts of the world outside their utopia.
Egypt is on the verge of being run by a bunch of Islamists…
What jgm2 said.
Praise The Lord & pass the ammunition.

It’s no laughing matter. I’ve dr*a*nk three bottles of champagne trying to wash the fucker down. I can hardly stand and I have to go to another baby roast at the club this evening where I’m giving the toast.

There is a lot more useful things we could be doing with our money than pissing it away on that kind of shit.

You could burn it in a power station and it would generate more energy more reliably than his fucking wind-farms.

Poor bastard.
We should fire those striking bus dr*i*vers then this chap could get a job.
Or set fire to THEM. Cnuts.
Having said that, I would rather drag myself along the ground on bleeding stumps rather than give a single penny travelling on a scum shovel.
Both of my sons-in-law are said ‘ bus driving scum’ and neither of them wanted to strike. One arranged take day’s holiday on that day. The other who worked for one of the larger bus companies was refused leave and was intimidated by McMonkey’s bully-boys into ‘striking’ and lost a day’s pay. Don’t forget that only a small majority those who voted, were responsible for this strike.
Some of the local ones were lucky enough to work for a company where the strike ballot was formally defective and got struck down by the courts.
They got to appear like heroes to their grateful passengers, earned a day’s pay for a day’s work and can look forward to pocketing whatever Olympics-related Danegeld gets extorted out of TfL, or whoever it is.
typical Tory comments from the unhinged right-wing.
pathetic .
Typical bedwetter. Not thinking of the burden he’s going to be on the tax-payer funded NHS.
Sorry but he is one that is unhinged, he set fire to himself, unless you consider that normal behaviour

There is a serious side to this. The current governments policies are causing distress. And some of these people are without doubt considering suicide. Imagine for a moment that you lose your job unexpectedly (corporate restruction or whatever), suddenly you can’t afford to maintain your lifestyle and your debts suddenly look menacing. Your wife can’t do without her riding lessons (behave now) and your kids need their toys. Soon arguments start. Divorce and homlessness. It happens regularly. Probably more so now. And when you no longer keep up your private healthcare, just wait till you find that your will be diagnosed but not be treated, that is also increasingly common. The governments plan may have worked if the economy grew, but with the way things are, the devastation of lives will continue.
I have had to turn to writing erotic fiction (porn if you like) others will turn to crime. Unless there is a sustained economic recovery with jobs paying decent wages (you need both) our society will continue to melt down, and we have seen nothing yet – just wait until more and more people are at their wits end about surviving. And brilliantly that is likely to time nicely for the next general election. The trouble is the damage has been done, and unless our government are willing to think outside the box and be braver when dealing with bankers and all those other people who offer post government jobs, the only silver lining is an economic recovery with well paid jobs for everyone. Sadly I dont see that happening anytime soon, unless Europe gets[and even if] its act together. And I know from American relatives that the US are pinning hopes on Europe as well. Should have given me the EU Presidents job I would have opened hearts but my cv fell on deaf ears.

Continuity fuckwittery
The interesting thing to me about the EU meeting , was the fact that “we have agreed” was being touted as it is all over and done , I thought I was hearing specualtive speechs rather than immediate framework ones , put it this way when Sir Leon Brittain finds prime spot on Bloomberg , you get the impression that a pro feel indifferent manouver was going on .
The PM however gave a slightly different impression in that he had spent some effort into ensuring that the EU market was a seperate thing from fiscal euro union structures , indeed I applaud his nowse from the rooftops , as it was perhaps the most visbly scourroulous idea that appeared on the table .
The PM perhaps explained his practicle euroscepticsm thoughts a little more and avoided an immediate stampede , to begin a full exit . I cannot fault his thinking that there is still some need for consideration , but then quite a lot depends on how the EU is going to raise and use its bailout monies , which from where I sit , leaves me with so many doubts .
We now have a UK banks story to unravel , much of which relates to the Labour years . The PM was so on the nail , with his remark about getting retail banking sorted as a near Uk poorly treated customer service matter, I nearly fainted . Indeed so much of the UKs banking reputation was based on its freedoms and responsibilites at the small level , this quick delve into the thoughts about master and servant , and capital in small ways was like seeing some real and not cyber ,ray of hope . However that remark leads to further possibilities and thoughts , the immediate ones around the foundations of peoples lives and ensuring that banking sobers up in the respect for looking after peoples lives , by doing the right things in retail banking , rather than popping the Bolinger when so much is at risk or gone down the drain .
It cannot be unnoticed by the public , that people in offices are awarded vast payments for deals that in effect use there capital , whilst the public endure death spiral fees , and low earners are left with legal shark lenders at 1700% APR to get by month by month . Again it was the ruin who opened the personal credit taps , and created the experian long list of the credit unwashed which banks no longer want to do business with , but that perhaps is a demand side problem , more than a job creation one .
So was the EU meeting the big deal ?? , bailouts and credit lines of course ease the immediate pressures , but I saw nothing on implimentaion , nor any analysis of the different problems , nor much about fiscal union . I do not see how the tools directed so far are a big bazooka where the whole thing gets levered into growth , in stead I see one of 6 months of bail out actions and uncertenity about deficets and fiscal union structures , the outcomes for which are not clear , as how can you stablise when the game of inter eurozone lending is still masking the deficets ?? I would have thought knowing the deficets and working on them would have been pre to realeasing money to work effectively .
I perhaps go back to 6 months ago when the request was about for 1trn euros fund to lever up to 2 or 3 trn , this was the assesment of what was required to make the eurozone as whole , work . The less lavish solution avaiable now means a great deal of hard work and accurate audits and assessments , which doesnt seem to have been present at this round .
Does the eurozone have responsibilities to present honest and accurate figures to the EU members , again is a question the unelected seem not to have spoken about , while procuring the warm simplistic tones of bailout the only requirement .
I think the PM did a fairly decent job , he seemed a bit frustrated, but there was quite a bit going off and he seemed to have fought very hard for keeping and EU market free from Eurozone entanglements (which is a worry in its self about how the EU thinks with its back against the wall) . It is perhaps all theres to cock up in the end , needing bailouts little explains the why of them , somthing they speak so little about as if they did , they may have to decide how to act upon them .
Could be a new magazine title “Practicle eurosceptic” …… design and build in your own home , a complete series of documents to stop a whole continent dying of cockwaffle .:)

That’s pretty fucking nuts right there. Still I’m sure you’ll have glib comeback. Let me guess: Blah blah looney left blah blah debt blah blah immigrants blah blah BBC bias blah blah.
Was the guy who set himself on fire also biased against our caring Tory government who, even if you do blame Labour, have had 2 years to put it right? I guess he must have been and it was just his own fault for not fitting into the system huh?
Says a person using someone who set themselves on fire to score political points.
Do you know that Freudian projection is a symptom of Marxist mentalism?
And what exactly makes you qualified to accuse all on this blog of being Tory?
How very dare you. I hate them all the same regardless of whether they are left or right. The only thing they have in common is their self interest.
You odious, self aggrandising, pompous, hateful man. You think that this is a laughing matter, a man so desperate that he sees no option but to harm himself this way. In this one post you’ve shown yourself to be a complete and utter Hunt with NO empathy or compassion for your fellow human being. But there again you’re not human, you’re a Tory, with a wallet for a heart and an accountant’s calculator for a ‘brain’. I bet you’re really some right-wing journo who delights in stigmatising the poor, deriding the disabled, and spit on NHS workers.
You’re a vile excuse for a man, and your commentators are just as bad as you.
So why didn’t you offer to help that person out? I doubt you would have given him your own money.
“Guido” you’re a Hunt
Taking the piss out of somebody so desperate is contemptible. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Start behaving like fucking adults.
Setting yourself on fire is hardly ‘actively seeking work’. Stop his benefits.
I trust those who thin that it is in some way amusing that a man immolates himself, have checked themselves against the Hare Checklist for Psychopathy.
When you have stopped laughing and crowing, see how many of these descriptions fit:
Personality “Aggressive narcissism”
Glibness/superficial charm
Grandiose sense of self-worth
Pathological lying
Cunning/manipulative
Lack of remorse or guilt
Shallow affect (genuine emotion is short-lived and egocentric)
Callousness; lack of empathy
Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom
Parasitic lifestyle
Poor behavioral control
Lack of realistic long-term goals
Impulsivity
Irresponsibility
That’s many ways to describe a typical Socialist, one particular Labour ex-PM jumps out of that unscientific list.
Some disgusting comments on here from right wing zealots. Hang your heads in shame. Or just hang.
You are a complete Hunt. Hope you die Guido Fawkes of a horrible death, cancer, along with all of your family also.
Now, who was it that said left-wing people were so much ‘nicer’?
To mock a man who sets himself alight outside a Jobcentre because he’s had his benefits stopped is extremely cold and callous but what you come to expect from the freezing cold compassionate Guido Fawkes and his right wing ragtag followers here.
Do you know the man in question? Why do seek to condem him as some lazy feckless imoral individual draining the country?
The only people that are really taking the country and the rest of the world to the cleaners are the bankers and financiers who despite recieving massive bailouts and guarantees to prop them up and prevent the whole system freezing up and the inevitable chaos from it.
The banks and their employees have carried on like before, playing high stakes poker with others money safe in the knowledge that the taxpayer will bail them out again to prevent chaos. SO thus creating moral hazarad.
The LIBOR scandal really is the tip of the iceberg of further scandals to surface. Yeah New Labour played the game of giving the fatcats the cream and letting them play whilst the profits were good, house prices were booming and the tax was rolling in but which economic model did Blair and Brown follow was it Keynesian social captialism or was neoliberal ‘free’ market captialisim?
Yes, it was the latter and lets be honest markets are not ‘free’ they are manipulated by human beings for self interest to the deterimnent of others in the market. Rigging LIBOR and other fraudulent scams hurts everyone from the cold hearted calculator powered brain tory to the pensioner in sheltered accomadation.
You may laugh and poke fun at me, I can take and can give it back but others can’t like the gentleman from Selly Oak who set himself alight for fear of retribution.
Your greed and avarice has infected every level of society making it sick and dangerously unhealthy. Our economy was decimated by greedy financiers and co-opted politicans in the Conservative Party hell bent on waging idelogical warfare on manufacturing and the trade unions.
Now the only industry left standing has come back to bite the hand that feeds and is now attacking the whole world all cheered on by you Staines and your right wing vigilantes.
You lot are souless, dead inside and are clearly sociopaths from your posts (I know cos I’m a mental health professional and work with people like you on a daily basis).
Its a shame the mainstream media will ignore your little attack blog on this man but sure enough thanks to the those with a conscience have exposed your vile comments.
Good, maybe if more workshy scum topped themselves instead of sponging off the British taxpayer the country’s finances would be in better shape. Hope he uses more petrol next time!
I agree. Let’s burn all the work shy scroungers; starting with those Royals.
Pip pip!
