nato summit in Lisbon...anyone thought of inviting the Russians?

#48 addendum

The complicity, I'm afraid, will extend to the current government unless something is done pronto.

the multi-millionaire 'marie antionette' tells poor they never had it so good attitude

Now IEA says the same as the hayekist Young?

Clearly we are not all in it 'together'? Psychologically or economically? The poor pips might be squeaking but the inner empire says 'im alright jack'? Given millionaire landowners get 4 billion a year public tax money merely for owning land then they probably are alright?


Lord Young has exposed the unbridgeable gap between an inner empire untouched by recession or protected through govt subsidy to the banking system and the british people paying for it with money and jobs? Where does Lord Young think his massive share portfolio would be without the huge public support of the finance system?

Cake anyone?

..Israel's military today condemned the publication of the names and photographs of 200 Israeli soldiers on a website that labelled them war criminals.

The information was put online this week by anonymous activists in Britain...The website said the information came from an anonymous source who was "presumably" serving in the Israeli military.



actually the list we should know is the names of all british citizens who have served in the idf so they can be prosecuted for swearing allegiance to another state? When will Cameron [a patron of the JNF] ask the israeli govt to provide a list of the names? Or is that not in his DNA?

..There were no grounds for fining Google, Mr Smith told the 大象传媒.

Mr Smith admitted that the UK had conducted a much more basic investigation.

"We spent less time searching than others did. If we had searched for days and days we would have found more," Mr Smith said...

/news/technology-11797907

goodness we wouldn't want an investigator searching for 'days and days' would we? Because it would reveal evidence and then what? Deputy information commissioner David Smith hardly come across as a 'tiger' in the defence of the privacy of brtish people?

Maybe NN should grill Google's head of public relations?

I've just had a blueberry muffin, jaunty. Delicious!!!! And i' m going to follow it with a taste the difference mango & and passion fruit yoghurt, not bought at Tesco's I hasten to add.

Cake indeed Jaunty. They are caked in the proverbial, but still think they smell of roses. At risk of repeating myself (moi?) Westminster is a Rotten Barrel. It attracts rotten apples, and the few sound ones who wander in SOON GO ROTTEN.

AV is a ploy to make us think we have got somewhere. (Another climb-down by Nimble Nick.) The allowances 'clean-up' was similar. Unless voters have the sense and courage to drive a crowbar (collective noun) of INDEPENDENTS into the Citadel of Westminster, we shall remain in the spread-finger grasp of 'Have it All Dave'.

I should imagine you know what it means from the linguistic point of although semantically you might have a problem accepting the true meaning of it ****

Grandee鈥檚 arrogance on his 鈥榩erception鈥� the 鈥榬eal鈥� circumstance of the GBP. Toff sneering and out-of-touch? How many more of his ilk inhabit the W-illage?

Just how much is a pint of milk, Guys?

(Notably this follows on from the photography and cin茅 - box-office - flops from 21st Century Con Productions, but what about Queen Con鈥檚 Personal Assistant? Any redundancy payment due there yet? And what about the Lawd from Bleeze? )

Back to topic ........

Sacking was the very last thing that was going to happen, and it was never ever going to be King Con鈥檚 decision, he鈥檚 not senior enough. The decision to offer the reprobate his sword and suggest sic that he should fall on it pronto was almost certainly made by the back-room peers of the - now ex - advisor i.e. the True Con Old Guard, (This two-tier ideological divide between all True Cons will be with us for some considerable time but it will be inevitably and increasingly 鈥榟idden鈥� as it will never rhyme with the Big Con - public - rhetoric!)


And .... Oh yes ....

Observations regarding ......

32. At 10:28am on 18 Nov 2010, ecolizzy :


Following 鈥榣inks鈥� from the provided links may offer up some further explanation as to why the birth rate is rising so rapidly amongst the UK鈥檚 incoming immigrant population i.e. Judging by the comments from the UK Border Authority it is virtually impossible to remove unlawful migrants that have children born in this country.

Possible solution perhaps .....

If it is the case that new migrants are now required to be fluent in English Language to GCSE level perhaps they should then also be required to pass a GCSE in Effective Contraception?

But wait! .... That classrooms would already be full with large numbers of the indigenous population! .... Wouldn鈥檛 it?


And .... Oh yes ....

More 鈥榟onorables鈥� 鈥榟onoured鈥� including an ex-mayoral candidate strangely rejected for that 鈥榗ompetition鈥� but deemed to be good enough for the 鈥榰pper house鈥� ! So is that an obtuse rejection of the will of the 鈥榩eople鈥� or do 鈥榯hey鈥� know something we don鈥檛 e.g. Is there some special attribute directly applicable to this individual that isn鈥檛 immediately obvious? Just what exactly has she done to warrant such 鈥榚levation鈥�?

And why are the Big Cons intending to cut back on elected representatives of the GBP yet at the same time increasing the ranks of those whom are unelected? It鈥檚 hard, sometimes, to remember that this is still a Democracy! (Isn鈥檛 it?)




And .... Oh yes ....

Six Lib Dims Local Authority Councillors ( aka LAC-kies.) resign ..... natural justice for the betrayal of the lib dim foot-fallers ... or ...the first cracks ... or ... the beginning of the end ... or .....?

Wait .... ! May 2015 is a long, long way off!


And .... Oh yes ....

Page Three .....

Good to see that the editorial team didn鈥檛 kowtow to the possible 鈥淒isgusted from Dagenham鈥� e-mail! ( Just exactly why are they so unhappy with where they live?)

That said .....

Haven鈥檛 seen it for years - It is solely the choice of the individual and I can鈥檛 see that it does any harm except perhaps deluding an awful lot of young men and women whom will hopefully one day wise up? [ Perhaps a topic for another day?] - much more appreciative of women that veer toward the approach stated by LC2 at No 41 yesterday. That said - one step beyond - better to look into the eyes, much more likely to get a true understanding of what鈥檚 really on offer.

Strange the number of women that go topless sic when holidaying overseas. Particularly confusing are those celebrities that go to far flung places, plead poverty - so poor they can鈥檛 afford the other half of the Bikini ( Ah! Sad 鈥榠nnit?) - then sue for 鈥榠nvasion of privacy鈥�! Oh well, -potential hypocrisy on their part aside - perhaps 鈥淎ny publicity is good publicity.鈥�

And what about the fuss of a 鈥榗ertain鈥� presenter having thighs! ..... Shock, Horror!

Interesting to wonder though, following the piece yesterday, that the Junior Big Con Newbie would not probably ever believe that her career 鈥榦ptions鈥� weren鈥檛 鈥榚nhanced鈥� by her appearance ... Doesn鈥檛 happen, does it? Nah!

Perhaps she might feel more at home wearing a Burqa.

And, in view of the comment as to the importance of the eyes, one must only think .....

Phwoar !!!!

Lord Young of Graffham writes in his autobiography of the late Baroness Carnegy of Lour in Scotland who was
carried up Lour Hill to her final resting place yesterday on a bogie pulled by a tractor - escorted by Girl Guides
and a hundred or so mourners prepared to follow Nicholas Soames MP and other mourners though the mud -
"She proved to be a tower of strength and common sense within the Manpower Services Commission, even if
she did not guard her words too carefully at all times." Bet he's now wishing he'd come to the funeral instead of having lunch with The Daily Telegraph and doing his impression of Harold Macmillan! He might still have a job!

Tam Dalyell's appreciation of the formidable Baroness Carnegy of Lour who was buried yesterday in Angus:

does he have a point


the 'point' of the cuts the hayekists do not like to mention is that they are off a banking crisis caused by their no rules ideology.

do the hayekists believe there should be no rules on the motorways or in air traffic control or on who becomes a doctor? Yet they think finance is best with no rules with self interest as the only 'regulator'.

Lord Young shows this tory cuts is just a fetish. a dogma they would have done anyway. Today the masked slipped. They believe anarchy for the masses is best while the inner empire benefits from state subsidies like the 4 billion a year for landowners [ its ringfenced]. Which is why hayekism that Lord Young loves led to riots last time and has done again this time.

Of course, Lord Young (AKA the destroyer) is factually correct when he points out the arithmetically correct gigantic transfer of wealth that is taking place between creditors and debtors (the prudent to the imprudent) which is taking place directly as a result of Mervyn King's daft interest rate policy.

The problem for the Government is that this obvious effect of policy is deemed to be unspeakable! You must not the peasants know the truth!

Yet another " Welfare State " for the Stock Market Parasites ?

Fascinating nonsense from David Mellor tonight. Is he wearing a syrup, or has he modelled his 'hairstyle' on an impending landslide?

RETRO MELLOR (#20)

Isn't that style called 'The Fop'?

He and the Eagle chic, not fully fledged, were so very clearly from the political class.

RE RETRO MELLOR (#21)

Or the flop. It's like he's been stored in a cupboard for years and suddenly they've tipped him out for a bit of support. Angela Eagle, now she makes a Dalek seem friendly.

At #8 on 18 November the couplet should read:

It is most sad that good people of heart
Got themselves entwined in the trap.

When I type my rhymes on my iPhone sitting on either a chair by some cafe or other, or on one of the street walls in the dark, I can't always see that the machine's default changes some of the words as I type. So, instead of 'proletariat' it should be 'people' which includes some of the people in high, or even very high, places. To avoid embarrassment, I shall skip naming the particular people I do have in mind. There's no hope for those who do not realise that it might be them that I'm referring to, if they care about going down in history as honourable human beings.
'History, what kind of a bitch are you?', as goes one of the lines in a song by Agnieszka Osiecka, 'Orszaki, Dworaki' /鈥機orteges, Courtiers鈥�/, written by this wonderful Polish poetess in a moment of anger.

Mr Esler, Mr Crick, Mr Urban and the Newsnight Team

I've just watched last night's programme in its entirety and, to put it plainly, I thought it was very good.

With regard to my earlier requests, whatever way they were passed on, they seemed to have got through so thank you if you've helped in this respect.

I'm not really expecting for things to improve straight away although who knows, it might happen from one moment to the other.

Monika

#24 addendum

I haven't made any comments on what was actually said, as what is quite often the case, I see different points of view having virtually equal value which particularly applies to the conversation between Mr Esler, David Mellor and Angela Eagle apart from the fact that my former MP was 100% right that it was Gordon Brown's government who mismanaged the UK economy spending lavishly right, left and centre without any thoughtful concern for the future of the British citizens. It's no good for Labour MPs or Labour supporters to blame it on the global recession. In fact, I sometimes wonder whether the world recession wasn't caused to a large extent by the previous government who seemed to be at the beck and call of some of their deceitful cronies who now seem to be attempting to manipulate the current government. My hope is that it will be the UK, as well as journalists, writers, diplomats and even artists from around the globe, to get to the bottom of the truth.

Regarding imagination

I've just found out that more than 40 years ago a Polish economist under a pseudonym wrote a book called 'Imagineskopia' in which he invented a methodological scientific theory of how to expand one's imagination with the hero's name being Jeremiasz Apollon Hytz. It all started, apparently, after a group of young people, while in the Polish mountains, set up a fictitious organisation called 'An International Office for Expanding Imagination', with the first task being a competition for the slowest skier to slide down a mountain slope.

To prove that it's not my own imagination getting out of hand, here's the link:

I know a Mammon, or somebody who's desperately trying to become one, singie, but he is neither a politician, and I have met quite a few of them face to face, nor a journalist, quite a few of whom I've also had the pleasure to meet live and have a chat with.

The bloke I'm talking about has something to do with some of the digits behind David Mellor and from a few camera angles behind Gavin Esler. I thought I'd write to you about it as it was either you or one of your mates talking here about a sale /love for sale or love for purchase??/.

'Funnily' enough, I did see a number plate yesterday with those digits which was preceded by LVE.

Mother & Daughter

As my post above is not likely to be shown, I might as well simply mention that it was to do with the fact that I had the privilege of working in a bistro in Putney where Dame Vera Lynn and her daughter, Virginia, used to pop in every now and then, and that my own birthday falls on the same day in the calendar as Dame Vera's though not in the same year.

As usual, I'd be most obliged if my best wishes to both ladies could be passed on as I should imagine that Virginia in particular remembers me from the bistro.

singie

You like to write in rhymes and about the cat and mice game, so I thought well, I might as well respond in kind:

When the cat鈥檚 away, the bloggers begin to play,
Which is a shame and a most shameful game.
And which may leave them quite severely maimed.
Oh, what a shame, Oh what a shame!!
It doesn鈥檛 make any difference
Whether they鈥檙e Muslim or Christians
Or whatever religious preference
And whether they鈥檙e English or Russian,
American, Polish or Latvian
Or whatever their country鈥檚 by name,
The game does seem international.

Melodrama come comedy come tragedy springs here to mind
And please open the links which I have just found:

The Theatre of the Absurd also spread on a wide scale
With authors like Beckett, Stoppard and Havel,
And one of the most notable plays 鈥� the 鈥楨ndgame鈥�,
Which is not quite a reflection of the currently played game
But nevertheless there are some echoes discernible there
Written by Beckett who loved playing chess.

PRIGGY-BOY GOVE AND SUPER-SMIRKER BALLS ON MARR SHOW - OH THE PAIN

Andrew Marr encapsulated the Gove sycophancy and the Dave narcissism by capping Gove's '200 Head Masters clapped Cameron at No10' with: "That sounds a little North Korean."

Balls said he 'does not get invited'. Someone kind should tell him that the Dubya-style 'intrusive smirk' (much in evidence today) probably doesn't help.

Definitely time to SPOILPARTYGAMES

BALLS GAINS AWARD FOR DOING HIS JOB

Have you noticed that this only seems to prevail in politics and show-biz? The conclusion is self evident.

Will Blair institute the 'Tony Award' for blagging excellence?

why haven't you reacted to my rhymes above, singie? I'm feeling very sad now and might have a weep in a second or two

#38 a quick update on some news
That's part of the truth

In fact, singie, I did weep this morning
But I'm not ashamed of my tears
As they were plainly justified
And were to do with a determinedly unrelating mad guy

"NO PARTY WON THE ELECTION - ALL PLEDGES ARE OFF"

This is the ConDem mantra tripping from the butterless lips of Clegg, Cable and Cameron.

When Nick and Dave met to go coalition route, did either say: "we can only proceed HONOURABLY if NO PLEDGES ARE BROKEN"?

These knaves are treating us as fools, and perhaps we are?

#39

You are, singie & co, but for a completely different reason.
Has not one of you spoken of poison?

#40 addendum

Poison and treason as a matter of fact
But who the treason was apportioned to
I shall not mention here and now because
It's more than absurd a 'pro'
Though I have heard it before
At a meeting with a brother of somedyy I used to know.

It must be a joke or something:

Mandy as a 'great uncle', why not as a great great uncle? Perhaps I ought to suggest to that 'grandee' to do some experiments on my Grandma's Brother, Dionizy Zuberbier, scalpels and all, on a Russian yacht, with George Osborne present, following which they can have a gaga party.

Monika

P.S. As a reminder, Dionizy Zuberbier, ENT Surgeon and most caring person curing the poor for nothing /there was no NHS type system anywhere in the world at the time/, who was doing REAL research on cancer with the help of a discovery of Marie Curie Sklodowwka for which she got a Nobel Science Prize, was brutally shot in the head by Stalinists in Katyn at the beginning of World War II.

Although I have no proof that the guy I used to know and Nicholas Budgen who made a speech at the meeting I'm referring to in #42, I'm not lying about what I heard that morning, following which I joined David and Judy Mellor for a concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, South Bank. At the time, I was still politically naive, but as nobody was prepared to talk to me about some of my political concerns, I had to cope on my own trying at the say time to stay loyal to the course I'd chosen, which is still, in fact, the case.



If NB was DB's brother, it doesn't necessarily mean that they were of identical political opinions though if they were, I can spot certain similarities between them.

Being cheeky, still, at the age of 56

Here鈥檚 a story of another couple of brothers,
The A and J, William鈥檚 sons, the Lloyd Webbers
Of whom I first heard chez 鈥楪avin鈥檚鈥�
The bistro in Putney.

One of the owners called Glenda who taught me the catering business,
Including serving and cooking, making Pavlovas, trifles and cakes,
Was then an avid listener of Andrew鈥檚 creations and Sarah鈥檚 performances
Ending up going up to their house cooking them lunches and dinners.

As far as I do remember correctly, Mr William Lloyd Webber came to the bistro one day
And sat on the right from the entry
While earlier today on the right from the bar
I bumped into Andrew鈥檚 young brother,
The famous cellist working on music with a beer in one of his hands.
That was in one of South Kensington鈥檚 pubs called the Anglesea Arms.

Having been quite sure who he actually was
I walked right up to the cellist and asked him what was his name
To which he politely replied
Though he didn鈥檛 have time with me to chat too much.

As I was leaving I showed him the image of
Sarah and Andrea Bocelli walking together holding hands sweetly
Which I鈥檝e saved into my iPhone4 iPod
To show up whenever they sing
Canto della Terra at full voice accompanied by strings.



The song was written by Luciano Quarantotto and Francesco Sartori
Who鈥檝e written other songs for the great Andrea Bocelli,
Among them 鈥楢 Thousand Moons, A Thousand Waves鈥� as well as 鈥業mmenso鈥�.

#38 correction

Instead of 'unrelating' it should be 'unrelenting'
Of which tb takes 'great pride',
Such is the guy in his treatment
Of the moon and the sun loving cow.

Not being known for hiding many secrets, especially those related to politics and ethics which do seem to cross all kinds of boundaries, here's an e-mail I've just sent via Bob Geldof's 'Snow' to Peter Mandelson:

Just to let you know, Lord Mandelson, that you're not getting away with it. No, I'm not planning to kill you or send anybody to do it on my behalf, you've seen to it yourself that your reputation is in complete shatters, or worse.
I'd be more than happy to provide further details of my whereabouts but I think you probably know them anyway but please do send me any questions should you wish to ask me anything and I promise to answer them directly and in plain language.

No, personally I've never felt 'got at' by the Mods , as you put it, although I haven't always understood why some of my posts have been deemed unsuitable to either remain on this website, or to never appear in the first place. It seems though that most of them do appear these days. So, it's either me who's got better at writing, or the Mods have become more relaxed about what I send.

DEATH LIVING-DEATH AND MISDIRECTION. (#46)

Poetry night Lizzy - I shall take those programmes in later.

Whenever we British are moved to look at another country in 'ain't it awful mode' (Eric Berne) I cannot help but wonder how they look at us. I have not seen a documentary made about Britain, by Johnnie Foreigner, on British TV.

In similar vein, it is easy to see the error of allowing JF schools on our soil. But, to my mind, there is a damn great schooling-beam in our collective eye, that prevents us from seeing the INSTITUTIONALISING (arrested development) effect of schooling ITSELF. (I might have mentioned?)

The tendency for politicians to be drawn from the TOTALLY INSTITUTIONALISED 'classes', should not go unremarked.

Oh what a tangled web we weave, institutionalising to self-deceive.
