What ever you do..........don't pump !!!!!!!

Farting is set to be made a crime in Malawi.

The government plan to punish persistent offenders 'who foul the air' in a bid to 'mould responsible and disciplined citizens.'
But locals fear that pinning responsibility on the crime will be difficult - and may lead to miscarriages of justice as 'criminals' attempt to blame others for their offence.

One Malawian told the website Africanews.com: 'My goodness. What happens in a public place where a group is gathered. Do they lock up half a minibus?
'And how about at meetings where it is difficult to pinpoint 'culprits'?

'Children will openly deny having passed bad air and point at an elder. Culturally, this is very embarrassing,' she said.

Another said: 'We have serious issues affecting Malawians today. I do not know how fouling the air should take priority over regulating Chinese investments which do not employ locals, serious graft amongst legislators, especially those in the ruling party, and many more.'

The crime will be enforceable in a new 'Local Court' system which will also have powers to punish a range of other crimes in the bill set to be debated in the country's parliament.

These include insulting the modesty of a woman, challenging to fight a duel, and trespassing on a burial place.

It also outlaws pretending to be a fortune teller, according to local press in the country.


The modesty of a woman eh!..................Bet Gray and Keys are glad they dont live in Malawi.

The world has finally gone mad !!!

Berlusconi's New Babe ..............What Again !!!

Remeber Ruby in this post here.




She is now 18 but when 17 she is reported to have been eerrrrrr Involved yes involved with Silvio.

Under Italian law sex with a prostitute under the age of 18 is a criminal offence.

He is battling hard to save his political skin.



Well you cant make this stuff up but guess what.............. A second 17-year-old girl has been named as taking part in what prosecutors allege were sex parties held by the Italian prime minister.

The girl, named as Iris Berardi, was known to police as a prostitute, Italian reports say, and attended one of the events days before turning 18.



The details have emerged from new documents submitted by prosecutors on Wednesday to a parliamentary committee.

Mr Berlusconi says the allegations against him are politically motivated.

According to Ansa, Ms Berardi attended a party at Porto Rotondo, in Sardinia, on 21 November 2009 - just a few days before her 18th birthday. She also attended a party at his villa at Arcore, near Milan, in December the same year.

Ten days ago, prosecutors submitted a 389-page document, in which they said they had proof of payments made by the billionaire leader to prostitutes. The latest document runs to 227 pages.

The embattled 74-year-old has refused to attend questioning on the matter and has vowed to punish the magistrates who, he insists, are pursuing a political vendetta against him.

Just goes to show.................you cant get a good man down.....sorry put a good man down

Sky Sports Gate

Or Graygate..............call it what you will.


Ok here is a question for you all.

25th January - To The Bard

Born in Alloway, Ayrshire, in 1759 to William Burness, a poor tenant farmer, and Agnes Broun, Robert Burns was the eldest of seven. He spent his youth working his father's farm, but in spite of his poverty he was extremely well read - at the insistence of his father, who employed a tutor for Robert and younger brother Gilbert. At 15 Robert was the principal worker on the farm and this prompted him to start writing in an attempt to find "some kind of counterpoise for his circumstances." It was at this tender age that Burns penned his first verse, "My Handsome Nell", which was an ode to the other subjects that dominated his life, namely scotch and women.

When his father died in 1784, Robert and his brother became partners in the farm. However, Robert was more interested in the romantic nature of poetry than the arduous graft of ploughing and, having had some misadventures with the ladies (resulting in several illegitimate children, including twins to the woman who would become his wife, Jean Armour), he planned to escape to the safer, sunnier climes of the West Indies.

However, at the point of abandoning farming, his first collection "Poems- Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect - Kilmarnock Edition" (a set of poems essentially based on a broken love affair), was published and received much critical acclaim. This, together with pride of parenthood, made him stay in Scotland. He moved around the country, eventually arriving in Edinburgh, where he mingled in the illustrious circles of the artists and writers who were agog at the "Ploughman Poet."

In a matter of weeks he was transformed from local hero to a national celebrity, fussed over by the Edinburgh literati of the day, and Jean Armour's father allowed her to marry him, now that he was no longer a lowly wordsmith. Alas, the trappings of fame did not bring fortune and he took up a job as an exciseman to supplement the meagre income. Whilst collecting taxes he continued to write, contributing songs to the likes of James Johnston's "Scot's Musical Museum" and George Thomson's "Select Collection of Original Scottish Airs." In all, more than 400 of Burns' songs are still in existence.

The last years of Burns' life were devoted to penning great poetic masterpieces such as The Lea Rig, Tam O'Shanter and a Red, Red Rose. He died aged 37 of heart disease exacerbated by the hard manual work he undertook when he was young. His death occurred on the same day as his wife Jean gave birth to his last son, Maxwell.

On the day of his burial more than 10,000 people came to watch and pay their respects. However, his popularity then was nothing compared to the heights it has reached since.

On the anniversary of his birth, Scots both at home and abroad celebrate Robert Burns with a supper, where they address the haggis, the ladies and whisky. A celebration which would undoubtedly make him proud.




Address to a Haggis.


Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang's my arm.

The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o need,
While thro your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.

His knife see rustic Labour dight,
An cut you up wi ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin, rich!

Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive:
Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,
Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
The auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
'Bethankit' hums.

Is there that owre his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi perfect sconner,
Looks down wi sneering, scornfu view
On sic a dinner?

Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckless as a wither'd rash,
His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit:
Thro bloody flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!

But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He'll make it whissle;
An legs an arms, an heads will sned,
Like taps o thrissle.

Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies:
But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer,
Gie her a Haggis!


And for those of you that do not know what a haggis looks like in the wild.........here is a rare photo.



A frightening beast............and hard to catch !!!

The Boy Is A Legal Genius

A college student claims he was traumatized by a underwhelming session with a Las Vegas prostitute — and now he’s suing her escort service for distress caused by the "tragic event."

Hubert Blackman of New York would like his $275 payment to Las Vegas Exclusive Personals back, according to court documents, as well as a $1.8 million verdict.

According to the Las Vegas Sun, Blackman was vacationing in Vegas in December when he ordered a stripper to come to his hotel room. There, the stripper performed a $155 lap dance and a $120 sex act. But then things took a turn for the bizarre.

The Sun continues:

[Blackman] said that the next morning, he called Las Vegas Exclusive Personals to demand his money back, saying he was dissatisfied because the entertainer didn’t stay for the promised one hour and left after a half hour.

Blackman said he also told the company he was incapable of making an informed agreement with the stripper because he was drunk at the time.
When the company refused to refund Blackman’s money, he called the cops, who threatened to bust him for prostitution.

Blackman told the Sun he didn’t know that the trade was illegal in Vegas.



If it was not so funny it would be plain stupid.

Good Luck with that 1 son !!!

Alan Johnson and the Twisted Ed Balls

Ed Balls really is a twisted sick bastard of an individual.

He was reeling from the arrival of Ed Milliband into the top chair of the champagne socialists club.

Then he saw his much coveted position of Shadow Chancellor go to Alan Johnson.



Then what emerges yesterday is this..............that Alan Johnson quit frontline politics after discovering his wife had had an affair with his police protection officer.



Now Alan had a feeling this was going on.............this was not a shock. Indeed rumours around Westminster had it going on............what was certain though was that the public did not know it and that it would inevitably destroy Alan.



Hours after the shock resignation, Scotland Yard launched disciplinary proceedings against Paul Rice, who had guarded Mr Johnson from potential terror attacks when he was Home Secretary.

The experienced detective constable, who has been protecting the current Home Secretary Theresa May, is expected to be suspended from duty within 24 hours.

Mr Johnson wed his second wife Laura, 47, in August 1991 and they have a ten-year-old son. But last night it was reported that the marriage was over.

Government sources said the Home Office had been made aware of the affair. Mr Johnson abruptly announced yesterday that he was facing ‘personal issues in my private life’ and could no longer cope with his high-profile role


So with Alan out of the way that leaves the door open for Ed Balls to walk right into his shoes and become the No2 to Red Ed.

Oh don't talk daft Tlotf.................pure coincidence.

Or is it.............?

It also emerges this am that Ed Balls Special Adviser Alex Belardinelli, as the person who has been making inquiries into Alan Johnson’s private life. Shadow Cabinet sources say they believe the Sunday Times has the story.

It is believed that Ed Balls’ people have had a hand in the story getting out.

Balls chose his moment well, a series of gaffes by Alan Johnson had left him politically weakened.


I don't think that Alan needed to quit over this. OK he was flawed as the Shadow Cash King.............he had made a few gaffes, but that aside citing that as the reason to quit need not have happened.

I am no Labour supporter but I wish Alan well and hope he gets it sorted.

Ed Balls however is a duplicitous bastard. He always was and always will be the prime ideal of a snake. This action if true means no fucker is safe. I now hope he goes on to lead the Labour Party and gets all he deserves as a result.


I watched ITV news last night...........I watched an interview with Ed Balls.
I watched him stand there spouting forth about Alan Johnson, great friend, great politician, great parliamentarian but I also noticed a smug fucking grim of self satisfaction on his slapable face, knowing he had got his wish even by his underhand methods. (check the link above for proof)

I only hope that people realise the Labour Party record on public spending, under Gordon Brown was also instigated by Ed Balls as Browns advisor in the treasury when he was at No11. The car crash has returned and god help us in the future should Labour return to power as we sit today in excess of a Trillion in Debt.




Ed Balls = wanker

Oh FFS ........... well seem like nice boys !

Oh superly duper.

A pair of "nice guys" have won a court battle because they are gay!

Well no not really.
Well yes really !!

Basically the owners of a hotel who refused to allow a gay couple a double room acted unlawfully, a judge has ruled.

Peter and Hazelmary Bull, of the Chymorvah Hotel, near Penzance, said as Christians they did not believe unmarried couples should share a room.

Martyn Hall and his civil partner Steven Preddy, from Bristol, said the incident in September 2008 was "direct discrimination" against them.

They were awarded £1,800 each in damages at Bristol County Court.

"When we booked to stay at the Chymorvah Hotel this was not, as some have suggested, a set up sponsored by a pressure group, we just wanted a relaxing weekend away - something thousands of other couples in Britain do every weekend," Mr Preddy said.


"Because we wanted to bring our new dog we checked he would be welcome. It didn't even cross our minds that in 2008 in Britain we needed to ask if we would be.

He said that the judgement showed that civil partnerships were legally the same as marriages.


Hazelmary Bull said the double bed policy was based on "sincere beliefs"

"Judge Rutherford has found that our treatment was an act of direct discrimination and therefore a breach of the law," he added.

OK

Now if you read further here into this you will see the now famous "Human Rights Bill" was used.


So the question I ask is .............

Are the human rights of sexual preference stronger in law than the human rights of religious expression????????

I mean we roll over and take it up the ass every day to pacify the ranks of the Islamic faith (excuse the pun) but now we are saying that being gay, and being of any other religious belief is greater than being Christian.



IMHO..............There is no other section of our society that is pandered to, bowed down too and generally given as much freedom and air time as that of the gay and lesbian movement.............Bloody ridiculous !!

Scotland to gift two ‘NEDS’ to China in return for pandas

Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond today signed an historic agreement to send two giant Scottish neds (non-educated delinquents, indigenous to shopping centres across the nation) to the People’s Republic of China. The gesture from the Scottish government is said to be a demonstration of the gratitude of the nation for the loan of two pandas to Edinburgh Zoo, and will see these two particular Scottish neds leave the country for the first time since an infamous trip to Ibiza in 2001.

The pair, named Shuggie and Senga, are breeding neds who are expected to produce a near endless litter of cubs or ‘weans’. Traditionally, the only neds conceived or born overseas have been in Spain, but Grant McDougall, Professor of Ned Studies at the University of Dundee, explained: ‘Neds actually breed very easily in captivity, which is why they are rarely allowed to share a cell.’

The neds will be under the custodianship of the Chinese Wildlife Conservation Association, who have turned a former monkey house into a suitable ‘nedquarters’.

‘We’ve put in a top of the range plasma screen,’ said keeper Tian Lee, ‘and there are mobile phones so the parents can communicate with their young. Greggs, the sponsors of the programme, will ensure that the neds are able to enjoy their staple diet of Irn Bru and pies, and we also have a wide selection of takeaway menus available should they decide to get a film out.’

‘If you close your eyes and face away from the bars you’d get almost no sense that this was once a monkey enclosure, although we have left the tyre on a rope. We reckon that’ll come in handy till we get their Kinect hooked up, though we understand there’s a risk it’ll be stolen, joyridden around the enclosure and then torched.’

Not everyone has welcomed the decision though, with wildlife campaigners and other people in pullovers expressing welfare concerns. ‘Neds are pack animals,’ protested Sophie Greenwood, a ned psychologist. ‘Out of their natural habitat it is likely that these two lone neds will simply pull their caps down and sit hunkered in a corner of their cage, looking shifty.’

A spokesperson for the Scottish government dismissed suggestions the neds would find it hard to adjust to life in China, insisting that both neds were very excited about visiting the country where their colourful trainers are made.

Alcohol Price and Binge Drinking

Shops and bars will be prevented from selling drinks for less than the tax they pay on them.

The minimum pricing would work out at 38p for a can of weak lager and £10.71 for a litre bottle of vodka.

Health campaigners say that is too low to have an impact but the drinks industry described the proposals as a "pragmatic solution".

In their coalition agreement, the Conservatives and Lib Dems pledged: "We will ban the sale of alcohol below cost price."

But under government proposals "below cost price" is defined as the tax drinkers' pay - duty plus VAT - rather than including the cost of producing the drinks.

It is understood defining cost price as anything other than duty plus VAT could have created legal difficulties.



Asked about the proposals for England and Wales, Professor Ian Gilmore, of the Royal College of Physicians, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "It's a step in the right direction but I have to say, it's an extremely small step. It will have no impact whatsoever on the vast majority of cheap drinks sold in supermarkets."

So the Professor thinks it is a waste of time. I happen to agree with him.
If people want to drink they will drink................prohibition always works does it not!!!
They will find the money somewhere............after all the high price of heroin has virtually stamped out the illegal drugs trade............pah!

Maybe it'd a double edge sword. People are skint,(yesterday at 17.15 we rolled over a trillion quid of debt, well the declared debt.......not the true figure), country on its arse, MP's and Lords still stealing via expences, costs through the roof, tax burden increasing and the only escape people have a wee snifter at the end of the day.


Last year, the Scottish Parliament rejected plans for a minimum price per unit of alcohol of 45p, after opposition MSPs said the move would penalise responsible drinkers and could be illegal under European competition law.

I do hope an English or Welsh chap does have a go under Euro Law about this............the outcome would be fun to watch.

I also suspect the green hippy lobby are watching and seeing if this works. After all it would be a fine way to further penalise the motorist by saying increase fuel costs further (Jeez No) and that would reduce car usage.

Well we are at approx £1.36 per litre of the diesel type stuff and await the onset of the £7.00 gallon...................I do not see people using cars less..........Oh no!!!

Its enough to drive you to drink !!!

Blue Monday

The most depressing day of the year is commonly termed Blue Monday, and it is a phenomenon which occurs once a year.

It is today Monday 17th January 2011

The original date of "Blue Monday" was actually mathematically calculated in 2005 by Dr. Cliff Arnall a researcher at Cardiff University.

Mr. Arnall created his formula for the most depressing day of the year by working six distinct factors into the equation: weather conditions (Gloomy old January and its typical lack of sunshine), debt level and our ability to pay that debt, time elapsed since Christmas, time elapsed since failing our New Years resolutions, our general seasonal motivational levels, and our need to take action and to have something to look forward to( During January, and depending on where you reside, there are no statutory holidays in the fore-see-able future. Gasp!).

Well that all a load of "Old Pony"

There is only 1 Blue Monday and from 1983 I give you.............





ENJOY !!!!!

Berlusconi's New Babe

Silvio Silvio Silvio

Milan prosecutors are investigating Silvio Berlusconi for graft and aiding and abetting under age prostitution.

An investigation into the prime minister over the case of 'Ruby', an under age prostitute, opened on 21 December 2010. In a note Milan prosecutor Bruti Liberati explained that the crimes are suspected to have been committed in Arcore 'between February and May 2010, the injured party being Karima el Mahroug', otherwise known as Ruby. . .

He is 74, she was a 17 year-old nightclub dancer, she came to one of his parties, for which she says she was paid €7,000 last year. Later when she was arrested Berlusconi called the police and got her sprung. Under Italian law sex with a prostitute under the age of 18 is a criminal offence. She says they didn’t have sex and he says it is laughable and politically motivated left-wing prosecutors are trying to get him.

However a closer look at Ruby's dress may show to me a certain Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinski type piece of incriminating evidence............eeeeewwwwwwww!!!

Gabrielle Giffords Only Subscribed To Two You Tube Channels - One Of Them Was Jared Loughner's!

So the Lefties put it all down to Sarah Palin and the Tea Party movement - how typically opportunistic of them to use this as a means for their New World Order muppets to call for the disarming of American citizens, (prior to their impending enslavement), closely followed by the same calls in the UK and the rest of the EU, no doubt, (makes the job easier, you see), they never ever change!



SPOT THE NUTTER


Let me blow that "theory" into tiny little pieces without needing to say very much to do so!


This is a screenshot of Congresswoman Giffords' You Tube channel.......




If you look just above, you'll see that she only subscribes to two channels, one of which is Classitup 10.
Now I wonder who that could be? Let's see, shall we, and please do check out his reading material.......




I also believe that in the video what he was trying to say was
"In a few days you WILL know I'm conscience dreaming!"

So - this guy is a total nutter - what a surprise!

And what are the chances of him being yet another NWO patsy?

I REST MY CASE!

US Party Politics And The Arizona Shootings

The shootings in Tucson, Arizona have sparked a fierce debate about whether inflammatory right-wing rhetoric was somehow a party to the murders.

Six people died, 1 of which was a 9 year old girl, and 20 were injured, including Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head.


Within hours the local country sheriff, Clarence Dupnik, who happens to be a member of the Democratic Party, held a press conference in which he went out of his way to link the murders with political rhetoric.


This has led to a wave of soul searching in the American media and online.

Most criticism has been directed by the left of centre against the Republican right and in particular Sarah Palin and the Tea Party.

The evidence that they have created a "climate of hate" includes Mrs Palin's online campaign map from last year using crosshairs over the Democratic-held congressional seats.

She has also used the phrase "don't retreat - reload".

One typical comment on Mrs Palin's Facebook page read: "You cannot flippantly talk about 'reloading' and putting people on your TARGET list and not expect some nut to take you literally."

It is true that language and symbolism in American political debate is more emotional and violent than in many democracies - but missing from the debate appears to be a sense that it has always been this way and that America has always been a country where the gun has played a role.

The founding fathers called each other "traitors" in print, there have been 20 attempted presidential assassinations, four of which were successful.

JFK, Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy died in the blood-soaked, rhetoric-fuelled, 1960s in which one of the most memorable political slogans came from the Black Panthers: "By Any Means Necessary."

In 2004 the Democrats used a map of the US under the headline "Targeting" and bullseyes over states they were concentrating on - the blurb talked about operating "behind enemy lines".

This may have been less overtly violent than Mrs Palin's crosshairs but is in the same vein, as is Barack Obama's "if they bring a knife we'll bring a gun" speech in 2008.

Sheriff Dupnik introduced the rhetoric idea into the news story at an early stage.

Immediately it gave the media and public a different angle to the usual gun control/loner/drugs narrative which arises after similar events.

A link to political rhetoric cannot be ruled out in the Arizona tragedy - and there is a genuine debate to be had about the relationship between language and violence in the media.

But there appears to have been a rush to judgement that there is something special about this event.

Politics in America has always used the language of the gun, and the gun has always been used in America.

My Opinion............



Jared Loughner.............although I hasten to add not yet convicted, but who is the main suspect as the shooter (must be careful in law here)..........was a looney with a gun.

He was un-hinged.............twisted and indeed in strong need of medical and mental help.

A simple read through this piece will give an idea of the individual at the centre of this.

He slipped through the net.............reading the above piece will show that many suspected but nobody did anything about it.

This was a tragedy waiting to happen..............and sadly it just has.

The blame of Sarah Palin is wrong................trust me I think the woman is a political joke.
Her day time TV program / fly on the wall documentary is just that...........A JOKE.

Her choice of language and the use of the cross hairs may well have been inappropriate with hindsight, but has been a ploy used in US politics for many many years..........and is part of the US psyche.

That did not make Jared Loughner pull the trigger..............he did that all by himself.


I will make an inflammatory statement here.............

Hungerford and Dunblane where horrific gun crimes here in the UK. After both incidents there was a huge overhaul of fiearms laws.

Many gun clubs went to the wall. Many sporting and target shooters gave up the sport.

However none of the legislation passed stopped the Cumbria incident or more recently Raul Moat.

Again un-hinged people who pulled the trigger themselves.

Laurence MacKenzie...............Former Head of NI Water

Asks more questions than it answers me thinks ????

Source

Ousted Northern Ireland Water boss Laurence MacKenzie is a convicted embezzler, it has been revealed.
He swindled his church in the Scottish Highlands out of £2,000 almost 30 years ago.

MacKenzie, 49, lost his £250,000-a-year job as head of the state-owned water company in the aftermath of the leaks fiasco which left tens of thousands of homes in Northern Ireland without water over Christmas and the New Year.

He stole the money from West Kirk church in Thurso, Caithness, while he was working for the Bank of Scotland as a junior teller.

A spokesman for the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh said: "We can confirm that, following an investigation, Mr MacKenzie was convicted and removed from his post as treasurer in 1982."

He was convicted of embezzling £2,000 by a court. He was not sent to prison.

MacKenzie became chief executive of Northern Ireland Water (NIW) in June 2009 after several years heading Northern Ireland Electricity.

A spokesman for NIW said: "We are making no comment."

Kerry McCarthy MP

Kerry McCarthy................what is it about this woman that I detest with every ounce of fibre of my being.

Its nothing to do with the Labour Party.
That's too easy.

Many Labour Party members actually impress me as individuals........but I do tend to think the bulk of them have since retired from Politics now.

She got off lightly with her election antics on the postal vote in Bristol.

No..........there is something about the Twitter Witch that would mean I would not be able to stop slapping her until the Police dragged me off in handcuffs.

Old news now but the fact she has once again shown her colours of raging stupidity by stating that all men in the Greater Bristol Area should be DNA tested to assist in the hunt for Joanna Yeates killer.

Now....a hideous crime and I for 1 hope the boys in blue catch whoever did this and they face the full weight of the law.

You may say .......Ah!!! but the DNA testing will assist.

OK lets look at that further shall we............or in this case Al Jahom has written a top piece and I quote.



If a man were to refuse to submit to DNA testing, does McCarthy think he should be arrested, and if so, on what charge?

On what basis can McCarthy assume that no woman was involved in this crime, which she must since she only wants men to be DNA tested?

Why so certain that the culprit(s) live in the Bristol area?



And now, let’s consider the likely costs and logistics of such a scheme.

250,000 men to be DNA tested.
I’m going to take a blind guess at the cost of £600 per test, based on the cost of the lab work, as well as police time, administration etc.
(I have to assume significant police time would be involved in collecting and processing samples, due to the requirements of the rules of evidence, in the event of any prosecution based on a DNA match.)

So, the cost then. 250,000 x £600. That’s £150 MILLION. A snip, I think you’ll agree.

But how long would this ambitious endeavour take?

Not an easy question to answer, but consider the bottlenecks:

Locations for collecting samples.
Space to properly store samples.
Police officers available for collection and processing work.
Capacity of laboratories to work accurately and consistently on the samples.
This last one is a particularly interesting one, since it’s been shown that different labs can easily return different results based on samples of the same DNA, that there are flaws in the process, and miscarriages of justice as a result, that the human element always introduces some degree of error, and that there are intrinsic statistical reasons why accuracy of testing will diminish across a larger sample group.

From 250,000 men, the police could still end up with a shortlist of thousands.

So how long would it all take? 1 year? 5 years? Well… finger in the air again:

240 working days a year. 1000 samples processed a day. 250 days – just over a year.
But…1000 samples a day? Hardly possible, is it? To collect that many, let alone process them, is absurd.
So lets say 200 samples a day. That means the process could take over 5 years.
Will the police sit on their hands, waiting for a 5 year process to come up with a shortlist of (say) 2,500 men?

I think not.

So, in conclusion, can we agree that Kerry McCarthy is a fucking idiot?

Good point Al.

Being honest...............If someone wants my DNA for crime purposes.........show me evidence I did it, arrest me then take it.

You are not harvesting my DNA to hold on records "Just In Case".

This is a free country and we remain free until proven in court we should not be!!!!!!

People have died and continue to die for that right !


1 additional question............what you going to do with all the DNA samples and records after the killer is caught???

Our previous government before this coalition mob had grand ideas about the ID card and the kiddies DNA base from birth.

I opposed both of them and as much as I hope Joanna's killer is caught soonest this particular idea shows a lack of thought and unreasoned argument beyond even that I thought this dull mare could come up with.

Supermarket Scam

This is REALLY HAPPENING!

Tell your friends over the last month I became a victim of a clever 'Eastern European' scam while out shopping.

Simply dropping into Asda for a bit of shopping has turned out to be quite traumatic.

Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends.

Here's how the scam works:

Two seriously hot-looking, young ladies with foreign accents come over to your car and help pack your shopping into the boot, both in skimpy clothing.

It's impossible not to look!!! When you thank them and offer them a tip, they'll say 'No' and instead ask you for a lift to another shop, in my case, Tesco.

You agree and they both get in the backseat. On the way, they start undressing, and both get completely naked. Then, when you pull over to remonstrate, one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts kissing you, touching you intimately, and thrusting herself against you, while the other one steals your wallet, credit cards, mobile phone etc!

I had mine stolen Nov 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, and 29th. Also Dec 1st, 4th, twice on the 6th, three times last Saturday and very likely again this coming weekend.

So Be Warned!!!

David Chaytor MP..................well ex-MP

And confessed MP Expense stealing thief.

Chaytor, 61, the former MP for Bury North, last month admitted three charges of false accounting.

He made claims for IT consultancy work he was never charged for and renting two homes which, it turned out, were owned by him and his mother.

The maximum sentence is seven years in jail but his guilty plea is likely to be taken into account.

He had been due to be the first MP to stand trial over expenses but changed his plea days beforehand. The judge at Southwark Crown Court is expected to hand down his sentence in the next hour.

Prosecutors say Chaytor deliberately tried to "siphon off" public money he was not entitled to by providing false documents to back up claims for rent which he never paid.

To the tune of £20,000.

Well today at 1415 sentence was passed at the High Court.

18 Months in the clink.
Thank god for that.
The first of many I hope.

His actions as well as that of others has brought politics to its knees.

Messers Devine, Morley, Isley and others right now must be sweating hard.



Last bit of advice David...............go get some of this stuff......your going to need it !!!

Pantomine Madness............The Geneva Convention

A Glasgow theatre has had to change a pantomime costume after being told it was breaking the Geneva Convention.

DO WHAT ????

The dress worn by Nurse Poltis in the Pavilion Theatre production of Robin Hood originally had red crosses on the hat and tunic.

These were changed to green crosses after the British Red Cross informed the theatre it was breaking the law and could face prosecution.

Unauthorised use of the emblem violates the Geneva Conventions Act 1957.

Oh my bloody good god!

The British Red Cross said it had contacted the Pavilion Theatre over the use of a red cross on a nurse's costume in the pantomime, The Magical Adventures of Robin Hood.

A spokesman for the humanitarian organisation said: "We have no desire to be the villains of the pantomime or to appear heavy handed, but we do have a very serious obligation to protect the Red Cross emblem.

"The emblem is a special sign of neutrality and protection recognised by all sides during armed conflicts.

"Misuse of that emblem - even when done in an innocent and light-hearted manner - has to be addressed. Repeated and widespread misuse of the Red Cross emblem could dilute its neutrality and its ability to protect.

"When we contacted the theatre management, they quickly changed the cross on the nurse's costume to green and we applaud them for that."

Of all thats going on in the World this is surely a sign that the place is Mental.

God What a Prick !

Labour leader Ed Miliband has accused the Coalition of spreading the "myth" that Britain's debts were caused by the last Government spending too much rather than a global financial crisis.

In an article in The Times, Mr Miliband said Prime Minister David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne were leading the country in the wrong direction.

He said their "politically motivated desire to propagate a myth about the last Labour government" was being used to justify cutting too deep and too fast.

Mr Miliband said the pair were "airbrushing" history and ignoring the fact Britain's debt at the start of the crisis was the second-lowest in the G7 and lower than it had been under the Conservatives.

He warned a "great deceit designed to damage Labour has led to profoundly misguided and dangerous economic decisions that I fear will cause deep damage to Britain's future".

Holy Jesus Bloody Christ

What a deluded arse.

Ed for god sake.............look at this wee graph I have here.




It clearly shows your Party (under its previous regime I agree) and yes you where in the cabinet so most probably did know what was going on..........borrowed more and more money ......far beyond your income stream and clearly were unable to pay it back.

Look at least try and be reasonably fair on us voters. We are not fucking stupid.

We know you are a puppet leader placed in charge by the unions as your elder brother.......... you know the 1 who could have led your party better but was a Tony Blair clone was not what the union paymasters wanted........but at least stop spouting this crap.

You are deluded............the situation is dire..........we as a country have no money..........less than no money based on the actions of your party.

You would get more face by saying oooops yes got that wrong, by learning from the mistake and at least working to repair it.

Instead to treat me and every tax paying sucker in this country with total contempt.

WANKER

Scotland And Independence

Firstly Happy New Year.

I am pleased though that the festivities are now done and dusted.

It seemed to go on a bit more this year for some reason.

Anyway into 2011 we go.


I am a freeman.
I have signed the affidavits and registered them.
They have been sent to those that need to see them
They are available for others as required.

I am a proud Scot.
I have recently fallen foul of the SNP cyber Nats..........that was done in an earlier post.

However the reason for this post is I wish to direct you to this post here by the Captain.You see the question of Scotland breaking away from the union has been around for many a year.

I feel the post by the Captain is indeed well written and a great piece. No not necessarily for the Captains thoughts but also for some of the 43 or so comments made on it.

Indeed the KBW make some stunning points.

This is a tricky subject............I have my opinion and I have been chastised for it in the past. I have worn both the bad of my country on my uniform as part of my regiment but also fought under the banner of the union.........does that make me a hypocrit????????

Just go read it and the comments and see where you sit on the subject.

I am certainly looking forward to the Holyrood elections in about 5 months time. I await this sleeping beast of a subject to be rudely awakened.
