PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

The Derek Conway Awards

BlackFlag News is ready to accept nominations for this prestigious new award, which will be made to the person who exposes the worst public sector scandal of 2008 through being exposed for his/her own scandalous behaviour.
   The award was inspired by the fate of the eponymous disgraced Tory MP, who was caught in the act of paying taxpayers' cash to members of his own family for research jobs requiring no actual work

Built-in sleaze?

The police can't touch Derek Conway, they reckon, because his accounts are full of holes and the rules of conduct for MPs have been left deliberately vague to help MPs get away with almost anything.

Vote targetting

Does the Democrats fielding a presidential candidate called O'Bama look like a blatant bid for the Irish vote? And is it any less disgraceful than Republican Senator 'Oven Chips' McCain's story that he's descended from Robert the Bruce, which is just a bid for the Scottish vote?

black squareThe urge for something else
What's so bloody marvellous about change? We Brits got a change of government in 1997 and ended up with sleaze and cronyism on an epic scale, masses of Stealth Taxes, which were wasted when the government wasn't handing them to its pals, and an illegal war in Iraq based on manufactured evidence of weapons of mass destruction.
   Change? Who needs it!

BUDGET NEWS
"Not me, Gov!" says Mr. Stability

eyebrowsPiling on new Stealth Taxes at the Budget is nothing new but the current chancellor, a.k.a. Him with the Eyebrows, has taken the unusual step of blaming his crisis on 10 years of labour misrule.
   The bloke who had the job before him, a.k.a. The Mugger, spent the nation's money like a drunken sailor, maxed out all of the nation's credit cards and lied about the amount of debt he'd run up, and failed to save for a rainy day. He was aided and abetted by the previous prime minister, a.k.a. Smug Bugger, who let him get away with it. So if Mr. Eyebrows is having to invent new Stealth Taxes, it's only to fill the brown black hole in public spending and not anything he enjoys doing. Or so he says.

black squareThe Brown Hole in Britain's finances has grown by £7 billion since the last government guesses were made in November, 2007.

black squareThe government is doing nothing about repairing the damage which it has done to the economy before the next general election in the hope that the Tories will be stuck with the job of cleaning up labour's mess.

black squareFreedom of Information under labour
Someone asks for data, the government stalls until it has shredded the documents, then it puts on a smug smile and says that the information is no longer available.
UpdateAll bogus expenses claims made by MPs up to April 2005 have already been fed to the House of Commons' shredders.

black squaremargaret hodge, sometime minister for covering up child abuse, is the MP for Barking. Now, you couldn't make that up!

clownSomething else you couldn't make up
Ever wondered why there are so many illegal migrants in this country? The reason why they're here is that the Home Office lets them flood in unchecked because it doesn't operate border controls effectively, and it has none at all in the evening and at weekends, and it has illegals arrested if they try to sneak out of Britain!

black squareCrooks' Charter
Ever looked at a junk-mail catalogue and wondered what sort of idiot pays £100 for a coffee machine? Well, MPs do – but they're not the idiot. The real idiot is the taxpayer, who gets ripped off for this amount when MPs spend their £22,000 on fitting out a second home. Much of the cash is paid out without the need for a receipt, which means there's nothing to stop a spiv from buying a coffee machine for eight quid at Woolies and pocketing the difference.

black squareA Reader Writes:
Am I alone in finding something distasteful in being called 'Dear Customer' in letters from HM Revenue & Customs? Surely 'Dear Victim' or 'Dear Mug' would be more honest & appropriate.
[Since when did you get honesty from a government department under a labour government? Especially this one. Ed.]

black squareOut of sight, never mind?
The government thinks hiding cigarettes 'under the counter' will stop people smoking. This is at a time when scotch gordon is blowing thousands of pounds of taxpayers' cash on building an outdoor smoking shelter at Downing street to encourage smoking.

CLIMATE NEWS
  Another brilliant idea from Brussels

climate change sloganThe EU, which keeps telling us it's saving the planet, wants drivers to leave their headlights on permanently and increase their fuel consumption by 5%. The scheme, which is supposed to be about road safety, is entirely inappropriate for countries south of Norway and it will dump billions of tons of unnecessary carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Crazy or what!

climate change sloganA note of dissent
In Canada and the northern states of the USA, this year's 'Winter From Hell' is breaking records for awfulness going back to 1873. China, Afghanistan and Tibet have all suffered record low temperatures and months of snow, and there has been snow in Palestine.
   Against this background, a conference of climatologists in New York has concluded that attempts by the world's governments to reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere will 'markedly diminish further prosperity' while having 'no appreciable impact' on the Earth's climate.
   It will come to no surprised to readers of these pages to learn that our chancellor, a.k.a. him with the eyebrows, is planning to 'decarbonize' road transport in his budget as the brown government continues to steal cash from the British people while pretending it is able to affect the Earth's climate.

climate change slogan"Can tony blair stop global warming?"
Stopping up his mouth with superglue to check the outflow of hot air would be a good start.

climate change sloganAnother labour swindle exposed
The National Audit Office has discovered that the government is lying about Britain's carbon dioxide emissions. [No surprise there, then! Ed.] There are 2 different systems in use. One provides artificially low figures, which the government uses to 'prove' that it's reducing carbon dioxide emissions for propaganda purposes.
   The other system, which includes everything left out of the propaganda figures, shows that since 2003, there has been zero reduction in the rate of carbon dioxide emissions; which is why this system's results have been hidden. Until now.

climate change sloganThey're not there to set examples
Our hypocritical labour government, which is telling the rest of us we need to give up gas-guzzling cars to save the planet, is swanning around in a fleet of the worst gas-guzzlers and has no plans to change its behaviour.

climate change sloganEvidence? Who cares about that?
Despite all the alleged global warming that's supposed to be going on, the skiing season in the Alps, which began two weeks early, has been extended for two weeks beyond the normal closing date. Spit the bones out of that, all you doom-mongers!

  'Chemical' Ali Hassan

The man who organized mass murder of rebellious Kurds for Saddam Hussein in the 1980s is to be hanged this month.
   He was responsible for gassing Kurds by the thousand and also for wiping out Shia rebels in the south of Iraq when George Bush Senior failed to support them after the 1991 war to evict Iraq from Kuwait.

Ian Paisley from politics (in May)

Foghorn Leghorn's alter ego is bowing out of Irish politics under a cloud. The man who made it his mission to let the British government in London hear him yelling "Ulster says NO!" from his own doorstep in Belfast upset his own party by cosying up to the IRA faction in the Ulster parliament after the dirty deal was done. Which proved terminal. But only in the sense of being allowed to retire rather than bullet-in-the-back-of-the-head terminal.
   His message is that having defeated the IRA, and watched its leadership sell out the cause in favour of sponging off the British taxpayer in the Stormont parliament, he has nothing left to achieve.

He has turned out to be typical of the class of politician who think the rules don't apply to them. But such arrogance, for once, has received its come-uppance, and there may be criminal charges to follow if some dirty deal doesn't go down.

Yahoo! (from Britain)

10 years of labour misrule have made the British corporate tax system so uncompetitive that one of the major internet companies feels that it can save lots of money by relocating in Switzerland. The complex and confused mass of regulations introduced by a control-freak chancellor called broon are to blame. While Switzerland is a hellishly expensive place to live, its tax laws are easy to understand and they don't keep changing every 5 minutes, and the tax rates for businesses are lower than in Britain.

Sir A. C. Clarke

Books by Arthur Clarke

The science fiction writer and visionary, who came up with the concept of communication satellites in a stationary orbit in 1945, has died at 90. Born in Somerset, he served in the RAF as a radar specialist during World War II, when he became involved with Manchester's science-fiction, space-travel and rocketry fans.
   He moved to Ceylon for the scuba diving in 1956 and continued creating a vast canon of classic science-fiction short stories and novels, non-fiction books and articles, and scripts for films and TV shows. The 'best ever' science fiction film, Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey was (loosely) based on one of Sir Arthur's short stories.

He began his acting career in the mid-1960s in films and TV, and his part in a one-off Ronnie Barker TV comedy led to his regular role in 4 seasons of Porridge. He joined the cast of The Last of the Old Fellers in 1976, stayed for 9 years, took 5 years off then returned for a further 7 years after 'Seymour Utterthwaite' left. He is still to be seen most days in digital TV heaven on the UKTV Drama channel.

Brett Favre from the NFL

Brett Favre Brett Favre

 
One of the icons of American Crunch has retired holding a shedload of records (until they make offense even easier and the records all evaporate). His career began in September 1992, and he went on to start an amazing 275 consecutive matches (including playoffs).
   Brett Favre spent 16 seasons as a Green Bay Packer and helped to bring some glory back to Title Town as a member of the team which won Super Bowl 31 in January 1997. His record of 160 wins and 93 losses in the regular season is the top score in the NFL.
   He will be remembered for his toughness, his hard work on and off the American football field and for being the sort of gun-slinger who can win a match in the last 2 minutes; or throw the match away. He is currently the league's only three-times Most Valuable Player, and you can still get a Packers No. 4 Replica Jersey from a mere $79.95 or an 'Authentic' one from $179.95.

MPs will have to produce receipts for every purchase over £25 from next month (down from £250) and they will get only £50/month in petty cash for office expenses (also down from £250).

The price of gold hit $1,000 per troy ounce for the first time ever this month. Britain used to have quite a lot of it until scotch gordon decided to sell off half of the country's reserve in 1999/2000. He did it at the bottom of the market, and he was stupid enough to announce the sale well in advance, ensuring that the price tumbled before his bargain sale went ahead at an average price of $275/ounce. Which only goes to underline how totally crap he is.

The government wants to close down the world famous, and world class, Jodrell Bank radio telescope to save £2.7 million – an amount which would struggle to pay the expenses of 16.8 greedy MPs. This attempt at scientific vandalism comes as an £8 million upgrade programme involving Jodrell Bank is approaching completion.
   The telescope opened for business in 1957, when it was the only one in the world capable of tracking the Soviet Union's newly launched Sputnik satellite. Its operators have been making amazing discoveries out in space for the last half century. But they have evidently not managed to impress labour's bean-counters.

Admiral Byng was deprived of ships and men, and told to defend Menorca against a superior French fleet, which was already on the spot. He was murdered by the state when he failed to deliver an impossible victory to deflect attention away from the real villains; the government of the day.

Europe's Automated Transfer Vehicle flies!

Jules VerneNamed Jules Verne after the French master of science fiction, the first of these vehicles needed a beefed-up Ariane 5 rocket to launch it toward the International Space Station. The ATV is designed to deliver 9 metric tons of equipment and supplies into space, and to dock automatically at the ISS.
   Humans are required to do nothing more than bite their nails anxiously as computers steer something the size of a London double-decker bus in their direction.
   When docked to the ISS, the module will become a repository for the space station's garbage, and it can look forward to being undocked in about 6 months' time and allowed to burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. Which seems rather a waste of something which costs €300 million to build and launch.
   The Russian space industry had to have watched the launch with mixed feelings, having lost its anticipated monopoly on resupplying the ISS when the US shuttle fleet is grounded after 2010.
