    I liked the news about Brown drinking fizzy orange.

    There are few certainties in life but that, surely, is one of them.

    You could bank on it. Oh, he did.

      Good week for the EU (I gave them £385,000,000), bad week for the army (I sacked them as we’ve got no money).

          • Dobbie says:

            A bloody bad week for us all – a useless Select Committee (?) giving an easy ride for Bob Diamond – I bet he couldn’t believe his luck! Stupid questions by a bunch of morons who obviously hadn’t done any homework.
            It proves to me that a Judicial oversight of Bankers idiocy is essential. Bloody stupid party politicians will be the end for all of us.

          • Putting a judge in the appropriate context says:

            Judicial oversight in the context of a criminal trial you mean.

          • Dobbie says:

            Dead right. I would hate any criminal trial to fail because of some mishap in questioning processes.

    Keir Starmer says:

    We at the SFO are certainly in front of Guido and will “post” as and when the LIBOR scandal unfolds.

    I’ts going to be a diamond of a story.

      Except you’re not in front of Guido as Kier Starmer is head of the Crown Prosecution Service CPS.

      William Ewart Bagcarrier says:

      In front, Kier ? Hardly.

    • 32
      Blowing Whistles says:

      Kier (Star Chamber man) starmer – was a labour Government placeman stooge. He does not work in nor for “The Public Interest” – he and his ilk only use [Abuse being a better word] that phrase to give the ‘illusion’ to the greater public that their “Interests” are being looked after … Duplicity is what it is.

      They SFO & the DPP [Director of Public Prosecutions Starmers fuller title] – will “LOOK” at the “Possibilities” for a month.

      It doesn’t take a month – to hammer or narrow down the crimes & frauds that have gone on …. It will however take them a month to work out how to Evade prosecuting all the guily.

        Does anyone know if the CPS are looking to take on any more gardeners to look after the long grass which has overtaken their offices ?

          Blowing Whistles says:

          Karl (Marx) Gardner – might wish to apply but he has a bit of a head problem of a legal form already.

          Otherwise its up to the public to get to know a certain Mr Archbold and to throw him back in the faces of those who practice to deceive. Kier Starmer know Mr Archbold very well – but he just doesn’t seem to want to mention him and is a bit reticent to refer to him at present.

          People tell me I have tics and that I should seek psychiatric help. Old Mother Hubbard tells me that psychiatry is destructive and abusive and must be abolished. Should I cultivate help from the Church ?

            I am sure that Prof Sir Roy Meadows, Dr David Southall or Dr Raj Presaud (“Celebrity” Shrink favourite of the “BBC”) might be able to lead you in some direction here – but otherwise they’re all snake oil salesmen who have developed their chicanery from the by-gone era of the wild west.

      Did someone meschion Cruise? That reminds me of the Captain of the Cruise ship Costa Concordia. Didn’t the captain of that s(t)inking Premier leader ship abandon every one of the lesser mortals on (the) board in a gutless act of self preservation and to leave them all fighting amongs themselves for survival? Funny that … it also reminds me of Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Cameron, Clegg et al. Hey ho land ahoy!

      New Labour....The Glory Years says:

      They have long memories oop North…although perhaps they’d be better to blame Scargill for wrecking the mining industry by his cack-handed management of the Miner’s Strike and playing into Thatcher’s hands

      • 25
        Dick the Prick says:

        They’re not very clever in Barnsley, Doncaster, Sheffield or in fact all of the South Riding. And Neil Greatorix has just been done for swindling his union, just like Scargill. All slightly tediously inevitable.

    The top story of the week was, of course, the Independent stating the bleedin’ obvious; an academic has proposed that aliens are not little green men but rather jellyfish the size of football fields – or Eric Pickles to give them their name in Westminster.

      jellyfish the size of football fields – that would be after they’d been ‘Prescotted’.

    gordon was the centre of scandal this week – he who is trying to vanish from the public eye committed so many crimes whilst in office his misdeeds keep coming back to haunt him and us.

    Here’s how he infamously sold our gold at BrownBottom & why he must have know then the banks were in trouble & did nothing aboout it.

      Filthy Rich Capitalist. says:

      I mentioned on these pages some days ago why Gordon Brown sold our gold at the bottom of a 21 year bear market and artificially forced the price down further by announcing the sale in advance, thus allowing the traders in the gold market to force the price down further. It is nice to see that this article confirms what I said, that the sale was initiated by Goldman Sachs through it’s employee, Gavyn Davies, who if you remember Brown tried to make Chairman of the BBC. This act of financial vandalism which has cost the british taxpayer billions and lost him half the UK gold reserves, deserves Brown and Davies to be held to account, and is a perfect example of how today’s incompetent, complicit and crooked politicians have led the world to the brink of financials disaster.

    Mornin’ Ladies!

    We know what you’re thinking and where you live! Why not give yourself up and make a clean breast of it? Might even knock a few hours off your re-indoctrination programme – ‘specially if you snitch on others!

    A win by sour-face at Wimbledon could work in Engerlands favour, as it could turn the Scots wild with patriotism, and incite them to vote for home rule thinking that they can become self-sufficient in the world by playing tennis and voting socialism.

    Blowing Whistles says:

    Kelvin McKenzie – appears to be pushing the parachute button in the D *****mail today.

    But he has given up some a nugget – SAMS Mortgages.

    Shared Appreciation Mortgage Schemes (SAMS).

    These ‘Scams’ were introduced by Barclays & HSBC. Just before they were introduced there was an APPG running at the House of Cards called SAFE. Its Chairman – Lord Ahmed … of much infamy lately!

    One only has to obtain the names of the MP’s who signed up to this APPG Safe – to recognise that they were all in it together – to give the impression to the public that the MP’s were going to do something and bring some bankers to account – The whole APPG imploded and all issues were kicked into the long grass – save that the Directors of SAFE then only persued the SAMS scams. A Solicitor Hilary Messer – scammed a further £1 million pounds out of the elderly involved in the SAMS – while giving them ‘false hope’ that they might get some of their money back. Some SAMS victims were duped into paying a further £5000 each into what Messer claimed would be a class action. The whole scam has unravelled – but until now the MSM have been abjectly ‘silent’ on all the MP’s, Lords and directors involved in the SAFE APPG and its entrails of SAMS.

      What are APPG and SAFE.??

        Blowing Whistles says:

        To a ‘Thickhead’ – if you don’t know what an APPG is – then you’re hardly likely to be able to understand the more complex things behind what it is. Start doing some research of your own [DYOR] and come back on here in about ten years when you just might have caught up.

        The are some sheep – quite a lot really out there – who just ain’t worth bothering about.

      The use of unexplained abbreviations and jargon merely demonstrates that you haven’t a fuckin clue what you’re talking about.

        Thank you Goblin, I could not have put it better myself. Arrogant know-all pricks like BW need their bubbles popping from time to time. I know what an APPG is (it came to me just after I pressed the send button – as usual!) but still have no idea what SAFE is.

    Derry, the March Hare, says Tweedle-D-Diamond and Tweedle-D-King spread butter on one side of their toast and marmalade on the other side, “This is a most curious state of affairs!” said Alice. “We prefer it that way”, said the two and turned their backs to Alice. “Ignore them completely” said the Mad Hatter, “you know, my dear, they have lost their marballs, so confused are they, the meaning of HONOUR escapes them – Why, you have gone a little pale – have some more parsnips with your butter, the sympathy will do you a world of good. You know we have plenty of that to spare, and, it is such a bargain these days, so much cheaper than justice.”

    Tweedle-D-Diamond and Tweedle-D-King turned round at the mention of “justice”. “Who said anything about “justice”? Justiceis just a notion, what you need is “opinion” and a big dollop of egg on your face! Now be off with you, we have secret briefings to attend and toast to butter.”

    “See what I mean?” enquired the Mad Hatter, “Completely lost all sense of decorum and decency.”ot a matter of opinion, laws are made by the will of the people, for the protection and betterment of society as a whole.”

    “Oh dear me!” exclaimed the March Hare, “you are most confused if you thought that was the state of affairs, – no. no, this will not do at all. Have a slice of carrot cake to ease your mind.”

    “The Law is the Law!” exclaimed Alice, “n
