The Whitehall Farce

You just couldn't make it up. The more that emerges into the real world, the more incredible it becomes.

The government are embarrassed by a series of leaks over Home Office imcompetence and cover-ups. Gordon McCavity McBroon throws a Nokia at Jacqui Spliff, and his chief of staff at the Cabinet Office and the head honcho at the Home Office decide that they are too fucking incompetent to find the leaker themselves and call in Knacker of the Yard. Now, some might say alarm bells should have started ringing at this point. After all, the Met is riven with it's own soap opera of incompetence and cover-up, with the political lightweight Sir (what a joke that is) Ian Bliar forced out by Boris and the infighting to be appointed next Commissar just about drowning out the stench of sundry aggrieved ethnic officers going tribunal mainly with a corrupt solicitor who has a criminal record of his very own and a law qualification bought mail-order from a Post Office Box in Hawaii.

However, Knacker of the Yard delegates this juicy investigation to Special Branch, now called the Anti Terroist Command. Nice macho title, that. And they don't have too much difficulty finding the culprit, after all, he stood as a conservative for election to some council or other, kind of points him out as a likely prospect. Then, after a nice long delay, and sundry touching base with the Serjeant at Arms and the Speaker's Orifice, but carefully not informing the Home Secretary who has responsibility for police matters in the UK, Knacker unleashes 22 or so anti terrorist police to raid 4 locations and arrest a Privy Councillor, Shadow Spokesman on Immigration, Damien Green. He is held for 7 hours before being interviewed, when it is suggested to him that he has been "grooming" the civil servant, a nice use of language I don't think. Then after 9 hours he is released without charge.

Protestations by Jacqui and by spokesweasels for McBroon about not being informed look extremely fishy and stink like rotting prawns considering that Knacker told Cameron and Boris. But no surprise there.

The Speaker's Orifice tells enquirers that a procedure was followed, but this glosses over the worse abuse of Parliament's independence from the executive and authority to call the executive to account since Charles 1st tried to arrest some irriating MPs. Spliff and McBroon seem
oblivious to this. However, seeing a chance to do Spliff down and raise her own standing with Labour MP's in the hope that the blokes in the white coats will soon be along to take McBroon into "protective custody", Harriet Harpyperson tells of her concern.

Whilst setting up a private Labour Only meeting with the Speaker's rep and the SaA to sort out an alibi. Only being truly inept, they send the e-mail to the conservatives as well.

In the meantime, Knacker of the Yard is surprised at the shit storm that his heavy-handed plods have caused, and is desperate to cover his expensively tailored uniformed arse. So, he calls on a completely independent senior Policeman, Knacker of the Railways Plod, to bail him out and provide an excuse for getting out from under. Completely independent, of course, except they are best mates, probably masons, and shareholders and office holders in a private limited company called ACPO Ltd. So no conflict of interest there, nothing to see, move along now.

Where the fuck is Brian Rix, and will he hurry up and drop his trousers?

Haringey Council! Have You No Shame?

It emerges that everyone who has been suspended or moved to other jobs following the Peter Connolly atrocity remains with their snouts in the trough of public money at the shameless shitfest that is Haringey Council. It is still not clear whether the councillors who resigned resigned as councillors or merely from their posts as leader and head of child care. I suspect they are also clinging on like leeches, after all if they were into doing the decent thing they'd have resigned in August 2007 as soon as Baby Peter Connolly was murdered on their watch.

This can't be right. Even if it is the fucking stupid law thanks to employment legislation that is unfit for purpose, it cannot be right that good folk like the whistleblower Nevres Kemal whose solicitor wrote warning letters to 4 government ministers (all still in post and in the trough, naturally) is unemployed and these arsewipes are still getting paid.

There needs to be changes made. In both the public and the private sector, fucking up should mean fucking off, and without huge pay offs for failure.

Yet More Moronic Fucking Council Jobsworths

It's like a blight on the land, a veritable plague of fucking locusts. The imbecile government's stupidity in introducing third rate legislation, often to give power to the great Snot Gobbler's stealth taxes is then gold-plated in it's implementation by fucking jobsworth council remunerated cunts.

Like this lot in Norwich, who are trying to ban complimentary mulled wine at Christmas in hairdressing salons. Or more likely, empire fucking building and trying to justify their positions while getting a stiffey from the exercise of power. Oh, and then there's the little matter of money to be made from either licences or fines. Fucking Happy Fucking Christmas, you utter cunts.

Another Fuck Up, Another Promotion

Instead of helping, this PC wanted to charge a bleeding and distressed victim of attempted murder with criminal damage for breaking a window in escaping from her murderous father.

Later, the victim was abducted raped and murdered by her relatives, for daring to fall in love with the wrong man.

And now, instead of a disciplinary hearing, promotion and a back dated payrise.

Just fancy that. I'm sure it will do wonders for the Met's image and reputation amongst the sisterhood and the ethnic groupings they seem to fail so regularly.

Sack The Fucking Lot of Them - No Compensation

Sadly it looks all too probable that the odious Shoesmith creature will get handsomely rewarded for her failure to manage the Child Protection Department at Haringey, which presided over the Peter Connolly Atrocity as well as the Victoria Climbie Atrocity, and probably many other less well publicised cases.

She should not get a penny piece, and she should also lose her gold-plated pension.

The same should happen to every other so called professional involved, and also the councillors who had oversight responsibility.

I know I've said all this before, I even started a Facebook group to demand that they be sacked, but with the mainstream media having so many other stories to cover I don't want this outrage to be forgotten.

Making History

I suspect every politician wants desperately to have a place in the history books of future generations.

Our not very competent Home (Economics) Secretary has ensured that she has a place there, but I don't think that she will welcome what will be written about her. She has presided over the worst case of state interference in Parliament since King Charles 1st tried to arrest 5 irritating MPs, and despite all the furore breaking around her ears she is too pigshit thick to realise what she has done and mitigate the damage by apologising.

The worst Prime Mentalist in history has done his usual trick when trouble blows up, he has disappeared. When you consider his track record of using leaks from civil servants when he was in opposition, it makes his silence over this matter even more odious. Not just a coward, but a fucking hypocrite too.

Then we have Gorbals Mick, the fat bloated slug masquerading as Speaker of the House of Commons, who supinely allowed the heavy handed plod to ransack the offices of Privy Councillor Opposition Front Bench Spokesman and MP Damien Green over some 18th century common law catch-all ( which a recent Court Case shows not to hold water ) when he was supposed to be the defender of the supremacy of Parliament against executive interference. I suppose he was too busy fiddling his expenses to do his job.

The Sargeant at Arms, whose authority should have been used to disbar plod from entering the House, is sadly not up to the job. Not surprising, as Speaker Martin emasculated the role because he fell out with the previous incumbent, and appointed a pen pusher he could bully. Nice to see that one blowing up in his fat red face.

There is a lot of rapid buck passing going on at the Met, where fear over the fall out looms large. This has gone badly wrong for them, and anyone tainted by involvement can kiss goodbye to getting the top job anytime in the next thousand years. It was a very different operation to that run by Yates over the Peerages for Cash scandal, and should never have been taken on as a police investigation in the first place. Whoever was mug enough to set this one running should have simply told the mandarins to sort their own shit out through the usual disciplinary procedure.

One has to wonder what will happen to the 26 year old leaker, Chris Galley, now "in protective custody" to keep him away from the media. Another walk in the woods with a paracetomol and a penknife?

The mandarins responsible have doubtless ensured that when the new regime arrives they are shunted off to some nice little role in Wigan or Cumbernauld unless they have the decency to resign. Shame they will keep their pensions.

All in all, a good result for the opposition, a shit storm that even the BBC cannot ignore.

Getting Their Priorities Wrong?

The news that 22 counter terrorist policemen were involved in the arrest and subsequent searching of homes and offices of front bench opposition spokesman Damien Green is not merely sinister, it is farcical.

On a day when there is a major terrorist atrocity in Bombay and it is possible that some of those involved have connections to the UK, and bearing in mind that MI5' status alert is at high or higher then what the fuckety fuck are the imbeciles in charge of policing doing allocating these presumably precious resources to trying to cover the government's flabby backside?

Have they nothing better to do?

And it's not just the useless Met, the Merseyside plod are no better led. How many policemen, how many hours, how much budget was taken up with the ludicrous harrassment of some BNP activists for distributing a leaflet already cleared by the CPS as being acceptable.

Or the tossers in Essex, see my previous rant. Or in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire who failed to follow up allegations of incest.

Or the imbeciles in Devon and Cornwall who arrested a father for allegedly slapping his son's leg on the word of a drunk who was incapable of making a proper statement?

I'm pretty sure that without too much effort I could find many many more examples, but I think the point is made. We have a politicised politically correct police service with incompetent management.

Excellent, that’s quick work! Is Pauline helping? No, well, she has a figure to think of. Anyway, what can I do for you? No, you can’t be serious!!! Woolworth’s gone bust!!!

Willy “ Now, now, Mr. McBroon, I’m sure someone somewhere wants your Pies. You just have to diversify and find new markets, same as they are doing at the Cheeky Chaps Chippie. Dave and George are offering quality products at fair prices and advertising in the local free newspaper with a pensioner’s special deal on a Friday. Could you not do that?”
McBroon “There’s no money left for advertising, and there’s no margin available to cut, I’ve spent so much on the CO2 there’s nothing left! Nothing!”

I wasted the best years of my life working for him, and now look!

McBroon storms in, slamming the door and throwing a mobile phone at the wall.
"Sarah!!! SARAH!!! Where the fuck's my Medicine!!?!?!?!!
A portly fat-thighed woman in a tweed two piece suit enters from the back room, bearing a bottle and a spoon.
Sarah "Here you are, Mr. McBroon, why are you so upset?"
McBroon "You just can't get decent help these days and that's a fact!! That stupid cow with the big tits and five chins, Jacqui someone who I hired to look after the security of the pie shop, she only had to have a quiet word with the buying assistant to remind him not to go shooting his gob off about our secret ingredients. Instead the silly bitch has gone to the Polis and had him arrested, and the journalist he was supposed to be meeting. Trouble is, there's no bloody proof, and everyone is going to blame me for all the trouble and wasting of Polis time. Not to mention we won't get a decent write up in the press now, and the buying assistant is off down the Cheeky Chaps Chippie to a new job with better pay and prospects."
Sarah "Never mind, Mr. McBroon, have another dose of the medicine and I'll go and put the kettle on so we can have a nice cup of tea."

Willy "British Pies for British Workers!"
Sarah "Will that not be a bit limiting, though? I mean, with all these people unemployed, on the sick, on the dole, or in quangos doing absolutely no real work at all, that's not leaving many folk who might be British Workers? Especially with all those foreigners here."

Bank Manager "Mr. McBroon, do you have a moment to spare?"
McBroon "Every waking moment I am working for Pies for British Workers, errr, no, hard working families. Have you brought me the money I asked for?"
Bank Manager "No, Mr. McBroon, I have not. That is what I need to talk to you about. You see, we have had our accounts people take a look at your published accounts, the loan application you submitted to us, and the books and records of the Pie Shop over the last few years, and I'm afraid we can't possibly lend you any money. In fact, we want our money back that we lent you last year, and we want it back by the end of the month."
McBroon "But Lord Mandlebum of Fuck and Hartlepool signed as guarantor on the application!"
Bank Manager " Well, I'm afraid that he has a very bad reputation in banking circles, and his name on the application did you no favours at all. The trouble is McBroon, your business has been built on an artificial bubble of debt, and is unsustainable in a recession when people are looking to cut down on spending and live within their means"
McBroon "But 60 years of quarter on quarter growth in Pie Production, does that count for nothing?"
Bank Manager "Not when the figures are proven to be complete fiction it doesn't. People want a product they can believe in, not Pies full of Lies and Hot Air and Snot. That's why we are happy to help the Cheeky Chap Chippie with it's expansion plans, it has a sound business model, a good reputation, and an excellent track record. Three things sadly missing at your Pie Shop, McBroon!"

Who The Hell Is In Charge?

There's loads of stuff in the news which infuriates me today, from poor taunted lesbian soldier getting close to £200,000 compensation for hurt feelings (compared to miserly payments for soldiers wounded and crippled in action FFS ) to the stupidity of the system which made it a good "career choice" for some cunt to father children on his own poor abused daughters (and the social workers, health visitors, police, relatives, neighbours just let him get on with it!) .

However, one that really pisses me off big time is the stupidity involved in arresting and potentially prosecuting the law abiding and honest whilst letting the thief off with a caution. How the fuck is that setting any sort of an example, let alone satisfying any sort of justice whatsoever? What on earth were the fucking stupid politically correct numpty police offiers who started this fucking ball rolling thinking of? Who the fuck ingrained that much cuntishness into them? Have they been promoted yet?

And thanks to the fucking actions of the plods and the CPS the thief is now free (on legal fucking aid, or no-win no-fee fucking deal by some cunting solicitor ) to sue the man he stole from for his fucking hurt feelings.

You could not make it up and be believed!

The Penguin

Update: The plods and CPS have now brought charges.

A spokeswoman for Essex Police said: 'Four men have been charged with false imprisonment in connection with an incident in Witham on Friday, September 26.

'A 44-year-old from Little Maplestead, a 23-year-old Witham and two men aged 22 from Tolleshunt D'Arcy and Tiptree have been bailed to appear before Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on December 10.

'A 39-year-old from Colchester has received a police caution in relation to a complaint of theft made in relation to this incident.'

Baby P Witch Hunt Bollocks

At a hastily convened talking-shop the chairperson on the LGA, Margaret Eaton, tried to defend the indefensible.

Haringey Council meanwhile continue to duck and dive to avoid having to sack the people responsible for failing to protect Peter Connolly, or having the guts to force the resignations of the councillors with oversight for Child Protection. Well, they have the previous experience of the Climbie fiasco to guide them.

The row is far from over, despite other things crowding it from the headlines. Lots of angry people on Facebook for instance.

The thing is, no new laws, rules, guidelines or systems are required. They already exist, what went wrong was the failure to follow or implement, through management inadequacies, financial considerations (court fees had gone up from £150 to over £4,000 to get a court order), under-funding and staff over-loading adding to incompetence and arrogance. Compounded by the cunts in government who were warned and did fuck all but shuffle the paperwork, and who are now trying to cover up their culpability.

I don't think it's anywhere near over yet.

Bring Back The Death Sentence

With some safeguards, but in cases proven beyond doubt, such as the Kohli case (confessed on TV in India, then made up ridiculous story to plead not guilty when extradited, the cunt) or the 13 year old scum who beat some bloke to death and then put the body on a bonfire, then hang the fuckers.

Cry, My Beloved Country

What have the fucking wank-crew of Nu-Liebore cunts done to my country?

Everywhere you look, fucking devastation.

Education Education Education – fucked, fucked, fucked, with ever more pupils achieving ever higher grade passes but employers having to teach them to read and write. Every third rate polytechnic now dubbed a University, packed full of students busy mortgaging their future for a useless degree in Diversity Promotion or some similar useless rubbish which may qualify them for a non-job in the public sector.

Tough on Crime and the Causes of Crime. Fucking Right, prisons full to bursting, kids shot and stabbed left right and centre, 10,000 tasers as a Christmas Present to Plod, Community Plod-lite rather than real coppers, Black Police Federation milking the fucking system for large “compensation” hand-outs, Crime Stats fiddled, Judges hands tied on sentencing, ASBOs seen as badge of honour, and a series of absolutely fucking useless Home Secretaries ending up with Fat Jacqui Spliff and her daft ideas on prostitution.

The Armed Forces – fighting illegal wars without the right equipment, and funny how you never see a government minister at Brize Norton to welcome the coffins. Cunts.

Immigration! Arrrrrrrrrgh – rather telling how Lambeth “lost” 43 of its traffic wardens when they were going to be checked. I’m not racist, don’t even believe in the concept as we are all the human race, but I fucking object to having a Benefit System so soft and crap it attracts scum and lowlife from places like Somalia to come here and live at my expense while running drugs, robbing shops and banks, etc. and then the fucking HRA prevents them being sent back to Somalia ‘cos it’s too dangerous. Didn’t stop the scumbag that shot the WPC fucking off home to avoid arrest, did it?

EUSSR – Hand back Maggie’s Rebate, sign up to Lisbon ( but in a nice cowardly way) and do as Brussels says. Cunts. And look who they have had on the Big Fat Gravy Train…

Devolution – Yes, the Porridge Wogs and the Sheep Shaggers and The Bog Trotters can all have their own Parliaments, while we pay for them and have to put up with a Westminster Talking Shop run by Scottish Mafia such as Brown, Darling, Reid, Martin, Browne, Alexander, Blair, Rab C Nesbit (McCartney) etc.

A Joined Up Transport Policy – well, they put that fat buffoon Two Jags Prescott in charge, so what the fuck did anyone expect? Oh, and Steven Byers oversaw some train crashes. Fucking well done, you cunts.

Energy – now we are dependant on other countries to keep the lights on. We can’t even build our own Nuclear Power Stations, we have to buy them in from the fucking French. Another triumph for the government I don’t think.

Environment – ZNL have signed us up to the Global Warming Bollocks, enough said.

Ethical Foreign Policy – fucking right. Ask the Iraqis how ethical our foreign policy is. Backed up by a pile of lies and the odd dead government scientist, assisted by a supine main stream media, and the odd whitewashed enquiry, what is our foreign policy exactly? Apart from whatever George Bush said we were to do? After all, mustn’t spoil Bliar’s earning potential on the American celebrity speaking circuit, wouldn’t be fair after all he’s done for the good of the world, would it? Cunt.

The Economy – yeah, that’s right, they abolished boom and bust and put in place a far better system of financial regulation. Consequently we have a massive budget surplus, a strong pound, low taxes, high employment, a trading surplus with the rest of the world, and our pensions are secure. Like fuck we do.

The Health Service – 24 Hours To Save the NHS – billions and billions thrown into the NHS and for what? C Diff and MRSA rife, managers and administrators earning huge salaries, and targets and waiting lists etc fiddled. All new stuff on PFI so massive profits for the bankers and huge ongoing debts for our children and their children. Dentists leaving in droves. But never mind, you can call NHS Direct and that’ll make it all better.

Culture? Well, we had the Millenium Dome to enjoy at vast expense, and soon we’ll have the Olympics at even vaster expense. Oh, and the dumbing down of the BBC where fucking foul-mouthed cunts like Jonathan Ross earn £6 million a year from my TV Taxes and the News Service is pure Nu-Liebour Propaganda with arsewipes like Peston and Robinson and Marr.

Integrity in Public Life – Cash For Honours, Dodgy Donations, Bernie’s Bung, Moment of Madness, Whitewash after Whitewash, Mortgage Fraud, Shagging on the Job, Expenses Fiddles, Cherie’s Missing Ticket, Keith Vaz, Peter Hain, Wendy Alexander, Tessa Jowls Italian Job, Blunkett’s Blunders, Good Day To Bury Bad News.

I could go on, but it’s depressing. Especially when the cunts will have wonderful pensions even if they can’t all find cushy jobs related to their ministerial responsibilities.

Hello, Is That The IMF?

Is it the eyebrows? Are they cause or effect?

You'd have thought the wankers might have learned from the last time. They could have asked Sunny Jim if spending your way out of a recession from a position of high indebtedness worked out well.

The Great Gurner

Why on earth does anyone still think – if they ever did! – that Gordon Brown is fit to run a whelk stall, let alone the country and its economy?

This is, after all, the Prudent Chancellor who flogged off our gold reserves at such a price as to effectively lose more money than the ERM fiasco he so often uses to criticise the Conservatives (even though the dishonest bastard was all in favour of the ERM at the time).

Despite the advice of his officials he fucked over all the private pensions while ensuring that his own pension and those of his “client state” public servants are safe and secure.

He stealthily raised over 30 taxes, and has not run a balance budget since 2002. His was the 10p tax rate fuck up which he insisted for months was not going to hurt anyone in the teeth of the evidence to the contrary.

How many times did the delusional twat declare that there would be no more boom and bust?

How many times did he proclaim that he would not let house prices get out of control?

If the world markets believed in Gordon Brown’s competence, then why has sterling lost 30% of it’s value against the dollar in the last few months? And why is the Footsie 15% lower than it was when he became Chancellor?

Who was responsible for dismantling a perfectly good system of financial regulation and replacing it with the useless FSA at enormous cost – just look at the fucking salaries those wankers pull down for not doing a good job – and leading directly to the banking crisis we are so enjoying? No use saying it is all the fault of the Americans, our banks over-extended themselves under his useless regulatory system. The sub-prime mortgages are just a part of the problem.

Who has fiddled the figures time and time again? – no-one believes the inflation figures he trots out, or the debt figures, or any other figures he bangs on about.

Who excluded housing costs from inflation measures, thus forcing the Bank of England to keep interest rates low and leading to a massive credit splurge in the private sector?

Whose malign influence has left the armed forces so short of kit that the Army in Afghanistan and Iraq are called “The Borrowers” by the Americans? Who stripped money from budgets for prison building so that we now have to let criminals out early in order to have cells to put fresh criminals in? Who oversaw massive influxes of money into the NHS and Education without a proper plan to ensure that the money would be well spent, not thrown away on more layers of management and management consultants and daft unworkable IT systems?

Whose crappy “Tax Credit” system is so complicated and so expensive to administer that neither claimants or staff have a clue what they are due or doing?


That’s right, it was our very own snot gobbling son of the manse, with his moral compass and his vast experience of not much at all except tribal student politics and blagging his way into parties with a few empty tinnies and a brick.

The Police Farce

The conversion of the Police Force into the New Labour Stasi continues apace.

When they are not interfering with the right of citizens to stroll in the autumn sunshine, or arresting people and abusing them for leafletting, or man-handling elderly hecklers from political love-ins, they have little time to deal with real crimes.

However, you can rest assured that they will have time to train in the use of their new Tasers, which that fat cunt Jacqui Spliff is equipping them with so that they can cope with the expected wave of civil unrest as the wheels come off in Brown's economic "no more boom and bust" miracle.

The Penguin

Late News - Fat Jacqui's plan hits obstacle.

Two Rotten Boroughs Compared

There seems to be a bit of a difference in how two different rotten boroughs treat their staff over disciplinary matters.

In one, allowing a toddler to be tortured and killed despite him being on your books and being seen by numerous so-called professional social workers, health visitors, doctors and child minders leads to one or two written warnings (and a huge bill for PR and Legal whitewashing).

In another, forwarding on silly e-mails with a photoshopped image of a pathetic paedophile gets you the sack.

Oh Brave NuLabour World, that has such rotten boroughs in it.

BBC Ignore Complaints

The BBC have bravely ignored thousands of complaints and are instead considering offering their wholehearted support for a 4th series to the comedians responsible for creating Little Britain ( from Great Britain! )

When asked to comment, one of the funny pair said "So Weak!" and the other just grunted.

A BBC spokesperson said they were all in favour of autistic licence and that they like to have the country on the edge.

PS Any doctors out there? Is the clown on the left exhibiting "wanker's cramp"? Or is he about to indulge in some heavy fisting? Or even "clunking"?

Nu-Labour Stasi At Work

The politicization of our once admired Police Farce continues apace.

Whilst I hold no great regard for the BNP, it is a legitimate political party in this country, and will have obtained careful advice and vetting on it's material. So this is political harrassment, plain and simple. No charges will ever be brought, and no one will ever be held accountable for this complete waste of the time and effort of the police involved. Who you and I might rightly think should have been doing something a bit more useful, like protecting the public, arresting criminals, patrolling the streets, stopping and searching suspects for knives, guns, drugs.

After all, Merseyside has the odd crime reported, I believe. And possibly they lack a 100% clear up rate?
