Children of Britain! Adults are evil creatures who cannot be trusted to look after your own best interests. Labour loves you. Labour cares.
Labour make sure that your time in Reception-class is not wasted with reading and writing, but instead learning what food has too much salt in so you can educate your parents*.
Labour make sure that your Reception reading books have no words in so that your imagination can run free and unfettered by nasty things like literacy*.
Labour make sure that you can rob people's houses and, if the nasty adults defend themselves and their property, THEY go to jail.
Labour make sure that you have a nice benefits system so that you can breed at will and be paid for it. And the teachers will help your friends to do the same.
Labour and her friends make sure that there's plenty of celebrity news on telly, so that you don't have to bother your heads with independent thought.
Children of Britain! Do not trust grownups. Grownups don't care for you like Labour does.
Children of Britain! Love Labour. Join the Junior Spies today.
* Dungeekin is attending parents' evening at his son's school next week, I'm not sure how his son's programmers teachers will respond to Dungeekin's forthright opinions. At a guess I'd safely say that there would be a lot of harrumphing if he were to be nominated for school governor.
Lord Stern, the author of the influential 2006 Stern Review on the cost of tackling global warming, said that a successful deal at the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December would lead to soaring costs for meat and other foods that generate large quantities of greenhouse gases.
Oh I get it...even though there's no proof that global warming exists or is even caused by carbon dioxide or methane, the commie environmentalists are going to ensure that livestock farmers are going to be taxed out of existence.
He predicted that people’s attitudes would evolve until meat eating became unacceptable. “I think it’s important that people think about what they are doing and that includes what they are eating,” he said. “I am 61 now and attitudes towards drinking and driving have changed radically since I was a student. People change their notion of what is responsible. They will increasingly ask about the carbon content of their food.”
WTF!? All life on earth is carbon-based you stupid arsewipe., it is the building block for carbohydrates and proteins. The only time I worry about the carbon content of my food is when I've burnt the toast - if it is salvageable, the black bits get scraped off into the kitchen sink.
He said that he was deeply concerned that popular opinion had so far failed to grasp the scale of the changes needed to address climate change, or of the importance of the UN meeting in Copenhagen from December 7 to December 18. “I am not sure that people fully understand what we are talking about or the kind of changes that will be necessary,” he added.
Oh but we do...we understand that what the Copenhagen Treaty is proposing is to send the western economies back to the fucking Dark Ages and is the implementation of threats and menaces to the countries that are unable or unwilling to meet arbitrary carbon emission targets - targets that will make fuck all difference to the way the climate works or changes. Don't you get it, fuckface? How arrogant do you have to be to think that a lifeform as insignificant as mankind has the ability to change the climate of the planet because we eat meat or drive to the shops to buy meat. It's quite simple. We haven't, we can't and we won't.
Up to 20,000 delegates from 192 countries are due to attend the UN conference in the Danish capital.
Twenty thousand! And how are they getting to Copenhagen? I'll bet they aren't going to fucking walk.
Its aim is to forge a deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions sufficiently to prevent an increase in global temperatures of more than 2 degrees centigrade. Any increase above this level is expected to trigger runaway climate change, threatening the lives of hundreds of millions of people.
Well, given that we are in a cooling period, that isn't difficult, is it? Seems to me it's a bit like confiscating everyone's money to build a gold tower to keep sabre-toothed tigers out of the UK. What's that? There are no sabre-toothed tigers in the UK? See I told you it would work.
Su Taylor, a spokeswoman for the Vegetarian Society, welcomed Lord Stern’s remarks. “What we choose to eat is one of the biggest factors in our personal impact on the environment,” she said. “Meat uses up a lot of resources and a vegetarian diet consumes a lot less land and water. One of the best things you can do about climate change is reduce the amount of meat in your diet.”
Jesus wept. Another deluded fuckwit. If we stopped eating meat, we'd eat a fuck of lot more vegetables. So the environmentl impact is going to be more or less the same, because the same land will be needed to GROW food. We are omnivores, it's they way we have evolved and we need animal protein to thrive and if you think I'm going to give up pork sausages and mash for quorn sausages and mash Su, you are very much mistaken.
Update: Lord Stern's article has been picked up in the USA - if ever there was proof that being a vegetarian rots the brain, read some of the comments on this Discover article. Like this one:
I’m not a vegetarian for the sake of my health, I’m a vegetarian for the health of the planet.
When people are as gullible as this, I have to wonder how the human race has survived on the planet as long as we have.
Over on Guido's blog is a post about a lady who sent a letter to her local council expressing her displeasure about a gay pride march. In the letter, she used the words "sodomites" and "perverted sexual practices". Oh Shock! Horror! I may have an attack of the vapours!
The council's response was to report the letter writer to the police who, not having enough paper work to do or drug dealers to arrest, went round and warned that she had committed a hate crime. Now, don't get me wrong, what two blokes get up to in the comfort of their finely decorated hacienda is entirely up to them and no business of mine. However, sticking your willy up someone else's bottom is, and the dictionary definition will bear me out, sodomy, and some people think that sodomy is a perverted sexual practice. How Norwich council find this offensive, I can't possibly say but I suspect that they have been offended on someone else's behalf.
Update: I wonder if the lady who wrote the letter had been a Muslim rather than a Christian, would the council have been so quick to ring the police and report a hate crime.
Jimmy Carr told this joke, to 2000 people at the Manchester Apollo: Say what you like about servicemen amputees from Iraq and Afghanistan, but we’re going to have a fucking good paralympic team in 2012. Two people were offended and complained. Jesus wept, it was Jimmy Carr. What did they expect? Were these people amputees, soldiers, or former soldiers? I doubt it, they have most likely been offended on someone else's behalf. No doubt, during the same show, Jimmy Carr would have told jokes that were potentially offensive to fat people, politicians, Gordon Brown, women, men, small children and paedophiles. You pays your money and you takes your chances. If you are easily offended, don't pay the thirty quid and stop at home with your spaniels.
Even the BBC has fallen victim to causing offence to people who may be offended on someone else's behalf. Lord Stansted posits that a "contestant" on BBC Four's "The Unbelievable Truth" has caused offence by suggesting that the last entry in Anne Frank's diary recorded her delight at receiveng a gift from her father - a drum kit.
I'll Go T'Foot Of Our Stage is written by a friend and former five-a-side football teammate*, Craig Ferguson. Former scriptwriter for Basil Brush (and no he wasn't responsible for the episode that so offended the pikeys), and author of The DVD Book of Leeds United, Craig's new book on the Yorkshire acts that have influenced Pop is painstakingly researched.
Many hours were spent interviewing the musicians ( apart from Robert Palmer of course) and I do know that publication was delayed when the opportunity arose to interview the band members of Def Leppard.

*Neither of us play anymore - dodgy knees, bad backs and can't be arsed getting up that early on a Sunday at our age.
"The War will soon be over and we'll all be home for Christmas". Yes, we've heard it all before...a cynical cliche uttered just when things are about to take a turn for the worse.
This week, the economic figures showed a further slowdown in the economy, despite the government's expectations of a slight upturn. No more boom and bust, we were told. Boom and bust had been abolished, we were told. Best placed to weather the economic downturn, we were told. All lies, lies and more lies.
Now Gordoom has put his cock on the block and predicted that the recession will be over by Christmas. The latest trade figures indicate that there's fuck all chance of that. Unless, of course, Gordoom will fiddle the figures to make it look as if the recession is over. Given his penchant for shifting debt off balance sheet, dodgy PFI deals, and fudging the inflation measurement criteria, it wouldn't surprise me that the definition of what consitutes a recession has been rewritten.
Every other prediction the one-eyed dickwad has made has been completely wrong, except in his own mind that is. His mental faculties have deserted him and it is time that the rest of the cabinet, instead of nodding like onamental dogs on the parcel shelf of an Austin Allegro during PMQs, grew a pair and removed the mad fucker before he does any more damage to the country.
I'm not going to pass judgement on whether the programme was a success for democracy, the BNP, the voters or the BBC. The fact that it has pissed off the ANC Ambassador to Westminster, Peter Hain is enough for me.
What the programme did reveal is the true fascists are the Labour Party. Jack Straw was cut to the quick by Griffin's comment that whilst Griffin's father was fighting the Germans in the RAF, Jack's father was sitting in Wormwood Scrubs because he refused to fight the Germans. Straw later revealed that his mother's family were Jewish emigres, which is kind of strange if you think about it. Why would his father refuse to go and fight against the very enemy that were killing his kith and kin (albeit by marriage)?
Cowards and traitors = Labour Party.
Correction: I have just watched the first part of QT again, and it was Jack Straw's father that was in prison, not his grandfather. I apologise for any offence I may have caused Jack Straw's grandfather who, I would hope, is suitably embarrassed at having a coward and a slimy politician for progeny.
a) Children in deprived areas haven't been taught to cross the road?
b) Children in deprived areas are more likely to be knocked down and killed by one of their feral mates who has twocced a Ford Fiesta?
c) Children in deprived areas are more likely to be knocked down and killed running away from gangs of feral youths.
d) Just another set of statistics the Government lobbyists, sorry... fake road safety charity BRAKE will skew to campaign to reduce speed limits to walking pace .
Update: Heard BRAKE spokesperson on radio say children in deprived areas don't have gardens to play in and resort to playing in the street. Yeah right! If these kids do play in their own gardens they are more likely to impale themselves on old matress springs or end up suffocating in an old refrigerator.
At noon today, we will see the Prime Mentalist drag his husk off the government bench towards the dispatch box and utter some mealy mouthed condolences to the family and friends of the latest Afghan war casualty. The Speaker will run down the list of planted questions, select the most obsequious pro-Labour question before he calls the Leader of the Opposition:
Speaker: Dayveed Camruhn
House: yah boo sucks!
DC: Thank you Mr Speaker. This past week we have confirmed that the election in Afghanistan should declared null and void. There is evidence of ballot box stuffing not seen since the Glenrothes by-election. Yet this Prime Mentalist and his American boyfriend are still prepared to praise the corrupt Afghan drug lord for being condescending enough to hold a re-run of the election. Is this what our brave young men and women are dying for?
Prime Mentalist: M m m m m mr Speaker....drone....wibble....tractor statistics....more people in employement....saved the world....drone....wibble.....our armed forces now better equipped than the Toon Army.
DC: We now have 48 days to "save the world". Has the Prime Mentalist read the Copenhagen Treaty and does he agree with signing up to a communist manifesto that will plunge the world back to the Dark Ages?
PM: wibble....greatest challenge facing mankind....all our bunnies and puppies are going to die....CO2 emission targets....Ed Miliband.....it's for the children....party opposite who would do nothing...
DC: Our public sector borrowing has now topped one trillion pounds. How does the Prime Mentalist envisage reducing the huge deficit he has created?
PM: We are the party of investment, they are the party of cuts....help the richest 3000 families...we will help save jobs and mortgages ... wibble...drone....only party in the world that would make cuts in a recession...that is why we have taken the difficult decisions....wibble...ensure that when the ungrateful bastard electorate vote me out next year there's fuck all left for you Eton toffs and I can write another book on how to save the world form evil bankers.
DC: *leaves despatch box, picks up mace and smacks Prime Mentalist in the gob* Take that you stupid, blathering, Scottish fuckwitted traitorous bastard.
HOC: Loud cheers and cries of "Finish him, finish him!"
A journalist puts the Snake-Oil-Salesman-in-Chief on the spot and finds he can't answer the BIG LIE on polar bear populations.
It is Phelim's closing remarks that really stand out: Treat Big Environment that same way as Big Government and Big Business.
In other words cui bono, who benefits? Follow the money, where is it coming from and why? What is needed, now more than ever, is an independent body to verify the claims and the data collection and collation methods.
In December, our government and other governments will sign up to a treaty that will, in effect, send world economies back to the stone age:

I'm not a fan of Twitter - it's called that for a very good reason. It is nothing more than haiku for morons, for people who think their every waking thought is worthy of being condensed into 140 characters and broadcast for the their own pointless and vacuous self-publicity.
Yesterday afternoon, twitter was all a-twitter with posts about Jan Moir's Daily Mail column. I'm not a fan of the Daily Mail's comic for the professionaly outraged, so I followed the link from Constantly Furious's blog to see what all the panic was about.
You see Ms Moir had the temerity to suggest that Stephen Gately's death from "natural causes" - fluid in the lungs - was anything but natural. And to be fair she has a point.
The most revered rock and roll icons of the sixties and seventies all died unnaturally. A hell of a way to boost album sales, I'll admit but their untimely demise does lend a certain mystique to the legend. Buddy Holly died in an air crash along with Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens, Stevie Ray Vaughn met the same fate but in a helicopter. Janis Joplin drank herself to death, Jim Morrison overdosed and Jimi Hendrix choked on his own vomit (the old fluid in the lungs thing).
But what has got the twitter twats all fired up is that as young Mr Gately is gay Ms Moir's suggestion that Mr Gately perhaps died somewhat unnaturally is therefore homophobia. A cloth-eared syllogism if ever I heard one. And letting the facts get in the way of a great twitter campaign, some of these cloth-eared, oh- I'm-so-offended-on someone else's behalf, anti anti-gay campaigners started ringing round the Daily Mail's advertisers telling them about the horrid thing Ms Moir was suggesting.
But let's look at the facts. Pulmonary edema isn't something that happens all of a sudden. Fluid builds up in the lungs over time and the condition is treatable. There is a condition known as flash pulmonary edema and is the result of a heart attack. Stephen Gately's autopsy results are given as "natural causes" due to "fluid in the lungs". That's a fairly open ended verdict from the coroner and is probably more about presenting a less sordid version of events in order to protect the Spanish tourist industry than anything else. Then again if you are known to suffer a congenital heart condition, then it is probably not a good idea to go an an all day drinking spree and then fall asleep on the sofa whilst your partner is in the next room having bum sex with a strange Bulgarian fella - as has been rumoured.
This same Bulgarian bloke is now hawking his story around the tabloids for a not inconsiderable amount of money. What odds Max Clifford appears stage right some time in the very near future. Natural causes?....Don't think so.
At the end of Question Time last night, David Dimbleby announced that Nick Griffin would be appearing on next week's programme. A few members of the audience booed. Dimbleby then announced that the following week would feature Jacqui Smith which illicited more and louder booing.
Yesterday, Geert Wilders was on FiveLive telling us about the evils of Islamification accompanied by various Muslim callers protesting that Islama and the Koran was being misrepresented and taken out of context.
Loudmouthed fuckwit, Anjem Choudhary is planning to lead 5000 bearded laundry bags on a march on 31st October to Westminster to demand full sharia law for the UK.
Bearded fuckwit with other bearded fuckwits
The procession – dubbed March 4 Shari’ah – will start at the House of Commons, which the group’s website describes as the “very place where the lives of millions of people in the UK are changed and it is from here where unjust wars are launched”.
The group then intends to march to 10 Downing Street and “call for the removal of the tyrant Gordon Brown from power”.
The march will then converge on Trafalgar Square where protesters expect it “will gather even more support from tourists and members of the public, making clear in the heart of London the need for Shari’ah in society”.
The group declared: “We hereby request all Muslims in the United Kingdom, in Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff, Glasgow and all other places to join us and collectively declare that as submitters to Almighty Allah, we have had enough of democracy and man-made law and the depravity of the British culture.
“On this day we will call for a complete upheaval of the British ruling system its members and legislature, and demand the full implementation of Shari’ah in Britain.”
Choudary, you stupid cunt, we all want an upheaval of the British ruling system, but we want to move it into the 21st century not the 11th. So do us all a favour, and take your 5000 disciples of the Arab paedophile and fuck off back to Saudi or Iraq, or Iran or Egypt or Afghanistan or any other third world shithole that tolerates your brand of fuckwittery.
The comment from the investigating committee is priceless:
The committee said: "We accept that it appears that Ms Smith spent more time in London than in Redditch, even during the period 2007-09, when she spent more nights in Redditch than in London."
Note to Greenpeace protestors: When Gordoom and Jacqui enter the portals of Parliament later today, just drop your bottles of piss on them. It will be the only useful thing you will have done today.
Gordoom sold the family gold, squandered the family silver and is now looking in the attic for stuff he can sell on eBay. He's found The Channel Tunnel, The Tote, The Student Loans Company Ltd., and the Dartford River Crossing.
All these "assets" would raise around £16bn that Gorddom will use to pay off some of the £170bn he is having to borrow this year. According to Fraser Nelson on FiveLive this morning, that £16bn would cover the amount that Gordoom borrowed in August and still leaves us £154bn in hock this year alone. Gordoom keeps telling us, ad nauseam, that a recession is no time to be cutting back on spending. I'm not an economist (and neither is Gordoom for that matter), but surely a recession is also no time to be selling assets when asset prices are falling. When Gordoom sold all the gold he let everyone know that he was going to be selling our gold and the price began to fall and all he was able to get for it was $275/oz.....it is now in excess of $1k/oz.
Political activist, Morgan Tsvangirai, leader of the Movement for Democratic Change who has campaigned peacefully against the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe has not won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Tsvangirai who has been beaten, imprisoned and threatened with death more times than Saint Barry of Mombasa has given political campaign speeches was not considered a worthy winner. In the face of years of extreme provocation from ZanuPF thugs, Tsvangirai has continued to campaign peacefully for democracy in Zimbabwe. He won the Presidential election but vote rigging worthy of the Glenrothes by-election saw Tsvangirai robbed of his chance to lead the Zimbabwean people, bring democracy back to Zimababwe and put food back in the mouths of Zimbabwean children.
Instead the Nobel Peace Prize Committee were blinkered by razzamatazz and chose to award the prize to a person who had made some speeches, raised lots of money for his election campaign, and won. Barack Obama had been in office just long enough to reload his stapler, arrange his pens nicely on his desk and buy his children a dog. This was enough to sway the Committee and award Saint Barry of Mombasa the prize just in case he does something worthier than send another 40 000 troops to some third world shithole to deal with the fuzzy wuzzies.
Binmen and street cleaners in Leeds have been on an indefiinte strike since September 7 after the council imposed a reduction in pay.
Why?
Because binmen earn more than women employed by Leeds City Council. So in order to ensure that men and women receive equal pay, the binmen are penalised to the tune of £6k per annum. Now, I don't have a problem with men and women earning the same pay provided they are both doing the same job. I don't know how many binladies Leeds City Council employ but I suspect the answer to that will be "none".
Binmen are not dinner ladies, nor are they office staff or council prodnoses. They collect our refuse and cart it off to the tip every week (or every other week in some parts of the country) and are a vital public service. For the chief exec, Paul Rogerson who earns in the region of £190k per annum and his deputy, Dave Page who earns £157 000, to impose a 30% decrease in salaries is just bizarre. If they were so intent in cost-saving how about they take a 30% pay cut - that would save Leeds City Council around £110k per year. Better still sack these useless desk jockeys and save over £300k.
In the meantime rubbish is piling up in the streets...and this is what you get when you try and implement barking mad ideas thought up by socialists like Harriet Hatemen.
so I'll say this to the people of Leeds:
IF CITY HALL WON'T COLLECT YOUR RUBBISH, TAKE YOUR RUBBISH TO CITY HALL!!
Harriet Hatemen that is, not the Harriet that featured on Page 3 of The Sun this morning.
Phwoar!!! Not a word that Harriet Hatemen hears very often*.
So Harriet, during all the time that The Sainted Tony was in office and Rebekah Wade (now Brook) was editor of The Sun (which actively supported New Labour for 3 general elections), how many conversations did you have with Rebekah about her newspaper's attitude to women's rights?
