I'm moving house... so although I now feel that there are things I want to blog about again and that might be worth someone else reading (though only 'might'), I may not have much time.<br /><br />But I thought I should draw <a href="http://skepticalbureaucrat.blogspot.com/2009/10/ex-gitmo-detainee-and-rehab-dropout.html">this </a>to the attention of anyone who might still be listening...<br /><br />As much as I harbour doubts about Guantanamo, we in the West are in a fight with an enemy that knows no boundaries to what it will do to destroy us and our freedoms. A real challenge to anyone who is a liberal (and by that, I mean liberal rather than socialist - Sunny Hoondal take note) - do we stick rigidly to our principles, or compromise ourselves (and perhaps sacifice others' lives as a result)? I don't think the answer to this one is easy...<br /><br />Oh dear, did I mispell his name? Drat! ;-)Bishop Brennanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033876184247815366noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562389019058577778.post-12778297441656506672009-04-13T06:57:00.000-07:002009-04-13T07:20:23.564-07:00Of McBride & Other Morons...Mrs Brennan is studying Eugenics at the moment. Fascinating stuff - and it made me aware of the cultural influence against Eugenics to which I have been subjected. My immediate reaction was along the lines of, 'Hitler was into that, it's been associated with racism....'. And nerds like me have, of course, seen <span style="font-style:italic;">Gattaca</span>, which was quite scary - because genes are only part of the story, and can never be used to predict what a person is.<br /><br />Except intelligence is highly genetic... and, in practice, <a href="http://inspectorgadget.wordpress.com/2009/02/15/the-customer-is-always-right/">a combination of genetically-inherited idiocy and an upbringing by parental idiots seems to be a strong predictor of who provides the 'entertainment' for the police on a Friday and Saturday night</a>...<br /><br />Anyway... It turns out that 'moron', 'imbecile' and 'idiot' are technical terms, with specific meanings attached to each:<br /><br />An idiot has an IQ of 0-25.<br />An imbecile has an IQ of 26-50.<br />Whilst a moron has an IQ of 51-75 (though some say up to 80). Apparently, these were considered the most dangerous, as they were more likely than idiots and imbeciles to reproduce, and thus damage the gene pool (see <a href="http://inspectorgadget.wordpress.com/">Inspector Gadget</a> blog - including the link above - to see the results of state-sponsorship for morons...).<br /><br />Well, the <a href="http://www.order-order.com/2009/04/mcpoisons-going-is-good-for-political-standards/">events of this joyous Easter weekend</a> got me thinking about how we might modernise these terms, which have simply, of course, become random terms of abuse today...<br /><br />A 'Draper' could be used instead of 'idiot' - quite simply because everyone can see that this is exactly what he is.<br />A 'McBride' could be an 'imbecile' - because he's not quite so obviously stupid, until, that is, he uses a No.10 computer / internet link to send defamatory emails to fellow McBrides and Drapers.<br />And a 'Toynbee' could be used as the modern term for 'moron' - because Toynbees are the most dangerous, getting widespread coverage on the BBC and in moronic 'newspapers' for her equally moronic views, and therefore risking severe mental damage to the wider population.Bishop Brennanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033876184247815366noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562389019058577778.post-44125572523702813602009-04-04T06:59:00.000-07:002009-04-04T07:29:20.849-07:00Australian PM Rudd takes lead in new fiscal stimulusFollowing this week's G20 meeting, <a href="http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,25281645-662,00.html">Australian PM Kevin Rudd has already shown his willingness to follow Gordon Brown's lead in stimulating the economy by throwing mobile phones and other objects at his staff</a>, requiring the purchase of their replacement, thereby providing a much-needed demand boost to the economy. <br /><br />Mr Rudd's new spokesman, Alastair Campbell, pointed out that, '<a href="http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,25286608-662,00.html">Throwing items such as mobile phones and chairs at civil servants is just Kevin's way of joking around.</a> And even if they did require counselling afterwards, that will also help stimulate the economy.<br /><br />'If you report anything other than this official line, you'll end up like David Kelly.'<br /><br />Reports from ex-staffers that Mr Rudd's behaviour could be explained by the fact that he had caught a rare virus from Mr Brown - who has exhibited behaviours similar to those of Mr Rudd, including telephoning officials at all times of the night and having violent temper tantrums, as well as throwing objects at people - known as <i>socialistus mentalis psycho-sociopathus</i> (SMPS) were dismissed by Mr Campbell, who pointed out that, 'I'm a pretty sane kind of guy, and I'm sure I would have noticed any abnormal behaviour on the part of Kevin, or, indeed, Gordon, who is, of course, one of my closest friends.' <br /><br />Denying reports that he had deliberately passed on the SMPS virus to Mr Rudd, Gordon Brown said, 'We announced at the G20 that we would launch a fiscal stimulus, and Kevin Rudd is doing just that. The fact that Kevin Rudd is following the lead taken by the Labour Government in Great Britain just goes to show how far the do-nothing-Tories are outside the consensus of world opinion in dealing with the downturn.<br /><br />'With the leaders of all G20 countries following my lead and breaking mobile phones, computer keyboards and chairs at least once a day, we will soon reach the $1.1 trillion stimulus promised in London on Thursday.'<br /><br />Shares of Nokia, Motorola and LG rose sharply in trading today, following Mr Brown's comments.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Medical note: The SMPS virus</span><br /><br />The SMPS virus is normally transmitted sexually, usually through unprotected anal intercourse. However, it can also (rarely) be transmitted via contaminated toilet seats. Mr Rudd is known to partake of an unusual practice, known as <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7439515.stm">'driving the porcelain bus'</a> on occasions, usually after eating food at sporting events. It is possible he could have caught the SMPS virus after sharing a bathroom with Mr Brown at the G20 event.Bishop Brennanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033876184247815366noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562389019058577778.post-61465018278463349832009-04-01T14:03:00.000-07:002009-04-01T15:23:52.321-07:00NHS to offer new 'Polly Pill'Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced today that the new Polly Pill, <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7971456.stm">revealed 'exclusively' on the Al-Jabeeba website this week</a>, will be made available immediately on the NHS, on a compulsory basis, to all <del>voters</del> citizens, despite concerns about side-effects.<br /><br />The <del>Chancellor</del> One-eyed Scottish <del>cunt</del> Prime Minister said, '<del>Ve have been looking for vays of making you pork</del>, I mean, we have been looking for ways to neutralise opposition and ensure the re-election of a <del>National Socialist</del> Labour government, and this is perfect. It will <del>not</del> benefit hard-working families throughout <del>the Socialist Republic of Scotland</del> the UK.<br /><br />Named after legendary Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee, once the new Polly Pill has been taken, the patient immediately begins to spout <del>left-wing bollocks</del> reasonable, 'liberal' views, and will immediately believe everything that Gordon Brown says, including the <del>delusion</del> obvious point that he is the Saviour of the World, John the Baptist to Barack Obama's Jesus. <br /><br />Concerns about side-effects - including allegations of the development of SHS (Severe Hypocrisy Syndrome), usually involving earning large sums of money for writing bollocks whilst pretending to represent 'the poor', and taking regular flights to a second home abroad whilst condemning those who fly abroad for their one holiday a year for causing global warming - have been dismissed by those close to the Prime Minister, who point out that the Polly Pill is believed to reduce the incidence of Conservative voting by as much as 50%, and that, therefore, the benefits hugely outweigh any risks.Bishop Brennanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033876184247815366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562389019058577778.post-64337947184321654392009-03-28T07:35:00.000-07:002009-03-28T07:48:46.844-07:00Oscar the GrouchBecause one of the posters on BoingBoing (see my previous post) had referenced Oscar the Grouch, I Googled him.

In particular, he acknowledges that Tosser Blair fired Frank Field for 'thinking the unthinkable [but sensible]'. Perhaps another <span style="font-style:italic;">mea culpa</span> for Blair to acknowledge, in addition to his admission that Labour got lucky on the economy (i.e. unlike Brown's 'scorched earth' policy, Ken Clark actually gave a shit about our standard of living - even if he's a cunt who wants the UK to be run from Brussels)...<br /><br />I don't expect Cameron to sort out the economy; nor do I expect him to do what's needed with the welfare state (and that includes education and the NHS).

We therefore took this tough decision - over breakfast this morning when we were deciding what new initiative we could announce on your show.'<br /><br />The Brown Broadcasting Corporation could not be arsed to ask any spokesmen from other parties to comment on the proposals. Defending this decision, BBC Political Director <a href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6214838&postID=4127980689328589461">Chris Paul</a> said, 'This is such a minor administrative decision that we felt that it did not impinge on our Charter requirement to defend socialism.' <br /><br />'In any case, when the Tories killed everyone in the North in the 1980s, Labour were not given the chance to put their case for increasing income taxes on the south to 110% in order to fund the north's basic requirements for chips, gravy, shellsuits, bling and BMWs.'<br /><br />The <Del>Liberal </Del> Social Democrat spokesperson for public health, Sheila Beardsandal, said, 'This is ridiculous. Only today, our Conference voted through a radical suggestion to increase life expectancy by funding an expedition to find the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_of_Youth">Fountain of Youth</a>.

Lord Kennedy of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chappaquiddick_incident">Chappaquiddick</a> will take up his seat immediately. <br /><br />Second, following the <a href="http://bastardoldholborn.blogspot.com/2009/03/muslims-to-free-lard-ahmed-of-tub.html">disgraceful treatment of Lord Ahmed of Tub</a>, his supporters have received assurances from the Secretary of State for Sharia Law and Justice, Abdullah Islam (formerly Jack Straw), that Muslims will only be tried by fellow Muslims, that the word of a non-Muslim will be valued at less than that of a Muslim in future court cases, and that the Muslim Parliament will henceforth be given a right to pass new legislation without clearance by the House of Commons and the House of Lords, as well as a veto on any new laws emenating from those institutions. <br /><br />Mr Islam (Straw) pointed out that, 'We in Britain have a long track record** of <del>capitulating to</del>, I mean protecting Minorities, and this new step demonstrates just how progressive we are. I, for one, welcome our new Islamic overlords.' Osama Bin Laden, speaking from his Islamic (formerly Royal) Air Force jet en route from Pakistan to take up his new position as Speaker / Leader of the Muslim Parliament and Supreme Ruler of the United Caliphate (formerly United Kingdom), said, 'I welcome the recognition of the rightness of my Cause from my brothers in the United Caliphate Labour Party. Allah willing, I will be <del>taking it up the arse from Peter Mandelson this very evening</del>, I mean, I'm not a closet homosexual at all, I will be receiving a <span style="font-style:italic;">delegation led by Peter Mandelson</span> later this evening. I have ordered an immediate nuclear strike on Denmark and the Netherlands, for the disgraceful actions of their cartoonists and Geert Wilders respectively.' The Supreme Leader also welcomed the appointment of Lord Kennedy to the House of Lords, saying, 'He shares my attitude towards - and valuation of - women'.<br /><br />The third great triumph of the week, following the disgraceful and outrageous attack on Peter Mandelson (now known as Nancia Marrakecha) on Friday, was the <del>back </del>passage of emergency legislation to allow for the summary execution, without trial and on the orders of a Minister or ACPO, of anyone who embarrasses important government figures, whether they be <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7922875.stm">officials from the Office of National Statistics</a>, or so-called 'environmentalists' (who could be greener than our New Labour Government?!) <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7927668.stm">who throw things at Ministers</a>. Announcing the latest law, newly Burqua'ed Home Secretary, Islama Fascista (formerly Jacqui Smith) said, 'We will be tough on slime, tough on the causes of slime'. <br /><br />All Hail the Masters of the United Caliphate of Great Britain and Northern Ireland! All Hail Allah and his Prophet Mohammed!<br />All Hail his servants, Lord Ahmed of Tub, Lord Kennedy of Chappaquiddick, Abdullah Islam / Jack Straw and Islama Fascista / Jacqui Smith!<br /><br /><br /><br />*No, that does not mean corruption, John Prescott levels of gluttony, and 'all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others'. Anyone suggesting this will receive a friendly visit from a delegation of 10,000 of Lord Ahmed's closest friends.<br /><br />** i.e. about 11 yearsBishop Brennanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033876184247815366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562389019058577778.post-13460598451252198712009-03-01T06:08:00.000-08:002009-03-01T06:20:42.438-08:00Nuts!<a href="http://bastardoldholborn.blogspot.com/2009/02/racist-coconuts.html">Old Holborn has drawn this fat bitch to my attention</a>.<br /><br />This isn't the first time I've heard a black person refer to another as a 'coconut' - it's usually reserved for people who aspire to middle-class things, like a house in a good area, a good education for their kids, etc. <br /><br />Demonstrating ignorance beyond belief.<br /><br />Well, OH's respondents have said most of it.

Who, together with the usual bunch of Guardianista gobshites, thinks everything in Venezuela is hunky-dory.<br /><br />When Venezuela collapses, will Ken admit he got it wrong? Or will he be like the (inexplicably popular) twat and hypocrite-par-excellence landowner, Tony Wedgewood-Benn, and claim that he was never wrong about anything? Sadly, I know where my money is...<br /><br />Fuck, I hate socialists.

Irrespective of that, Blair did that to ensure the French held a referendum which he believed (rightly) would reject the Constitution and enable Britain and other countries to renegotiate some of the more ambitious aspects and gain more opt outs. This was achieved with the result that Lisbon really is just a tidying up exercise.</blockquote><br /><br />Well, as much as I like Star Trek (alright, alright, stop sniggering at the back... :-), this 'James T Kirk' is an utter wanker. I mean, does anyone seriously buy this shit? Gordon 'Courage' Brown didn't hold a referendum because he was scared that he would lose. As the Meerkat says, 'Simples'...<br /><br />Meanwhile, most (though not all) of those making comments show their general ignorance by attacking Free Trade. My favourite is this:<br /><br /><blockquote>We need a bit of both <span style="font-weight:bold;">[Free Trade and Protectionism!]</span>. Exporting comes from reciprocity <span style="font-weight:bold;">[NB A protectionist concept, much favoured by the French...]</span>, and we need to keep key domestic skills safe.<br /><br />BUT the net result should be that we export a little more than we import.<br /><br />Eventually that WILL solve our economic woes.<br /><br />You just can't be a net importer and fund it by debt...as we have seen.<br /><br />Gordon-Charisma Brown, Brownutopia, Republic of Tax, Spend and Waste. </blockquote><br /><br />As much as this person has obviously picked out Gordon the Moron's, ahem, 'qualities', the statement does suggest one slight mathematical problem: how can all countries export a little more than they import?!!! That means that we can't all follow this policy, which makes it unsustainable... that way lies the 1930s Depression, to which protectionism made no little contribution.<br /><br />What these muppets need to get is some basic economics (and history) lessons:<br /><br />- Some countries import more than they export. This deficit can be funded in a number of ways: borrowing, a transfer / sale of assets abroad / etc.<br /><br />- This is not a problem! It's a good thing!<br /><br />- If a country can no longer afford - or is perceived as no longer being able to afford - to do this, its currency tends to depreciate against those of others. This makes its imports more expensive, and its exports cheaper, allowing it to reduce / eliminate its trade deficit. [For the benefit of the likes of Mr Kirk, this is one reason why joining the Euro is a really dumb idea - just look at its impact on Italy, for example...]<br /><br />- This is a natural part of the economic cycle... like recessions. You can't 'cure' a recession, as idiots like Brown seem to think. Of course, you can make them worse, by entering them with a structural fiscal deficit, built up during a boom... But who would be stupid enough to do something like that?!Bishop Brennanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033876184247815366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562389019058577778.post-91762795807283269662009-02-25T13:31:00.000-08:002009-02-25T13:47:43.455-08:00Lord Ahmed the CuntWell, I can't believe it.<br /><br />Lord Ahmed got <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/south_yorkshire/7909510.stm">six weeks (after parole)</a> in <del>a cushy four star hotel</del> prison.<br /><br />It's outrageous! I <a href="http://bishopbrennan.blogspot.com/2009/02/compare-and-contrast-my-declaration-of.html">expected him</a> to get a fully suspended sentence. After all, he's a Labour Lord - and a Muslim! They're not subject to English law - especially when it's just a white man they've killed.<br /><br />Still, at least his <del>cunt, arsehole, dhimmi wanker, gobshite, turd of the highest order</del> lawyer has appealed against this outrageously long sentence.<br /><br />I mean, they can 'prove' that his use of a cellphone had nothing to do with the crash. I don't know how, but I believe Lord Ahmed over anyone else. Actually, it's obvious that the texting had nothing to do with the crash. After all, if you're driving at 60mph, you could <span style="font-style:italic;">never </span>see far enough ahead on a straight road in order to stop in time. [Note to Lord A: I take it I now won't be getting a visit from 10,000 of your friends? Cheers! I mean, thanks - no, I don't drink, I mean that isn't allowed anymore.]<br /><br /><br />I hope that family members of the judge in question die in similar circumstances. Let's see if he then considers a 6 week sentence to represent 'justice'. Cunt.<br /><br />Until we elect district attorneys in this country and set tougher minimum sentences, we will never get rid of the bleeding heart, Guardian-reading cunts who are responsible for this kind of nonsense.Bishop Brennanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033876184247815366noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562389019058577778.post-58834225705171372562009-02-25T13:12:00.000-08:002009-02-25T13:24:36.435-08:00Is it just me...<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/feb/25/women-upskirting">This story</a> in today's <span style="font-style:italic;">Guardian</span> (no, I don't normally read it: the <a href="http://devilskitchen.me.uk/">Devil</a> linked to a different story and I saw the headline) has opened my eyes to a bizarre 'pastime', called 'Upskirting'. This apparently involves the illicit taking of photographs up the skirts of oblivious females...<br /><br />What the fuck?! <br /><br />Just how low can people sink? I thought we'd reached a nadir with Big Brother and Benicio del Toro's 'Che', but... <br /><br />One view might be that the legalisation of prostitution can't come soon enough. Another - that these men are too cowardly (or too small <span style="font-style:italic;">down there</span>) to ever try to have sex with a woman, even if they were paying for it...<br /><br />However, it does have the upside of getting Guardian readers all in a tizz - the comments are well worth reading, if only to see the stupidity of that particular group... And the Islamist tossers who suggest that 'women should dress appropriately'. Which takes me back to the Devil's post <a href="http://devilskitchen.me.uk/2009/02/for-fucks-sake.html">about how 30% of the population <span style="font-style:italic;">still</span>, apparently, plan to vote Labour</a>.<br /><br />Lord help us.Bishop Brennanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033876184247815366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562389019058577778.post-66735328114969596062009-02-21T04:28:00.000-08:002009-02-21T04:56:41.239-08:00Letter to the StasiDear Jacqui,<br /><br />Forgive me for writing to you twice - I felt that it was important to write to you at both of your addresses, as it is not clear to me which is your main residence.<br /><br />Following the recent decision to bar Geert Wilders from the UK, I felt it necessary to warn you of the risks of creating disturbances in other communities of certain Government actions. Clearly, on receipt of this information, you will feel compelled to act, as you have done following Lord Ahmed's intervention in the Wilders case.<br /><br />First, any decision to allow any Muslim preacher into the UK will result in a delegation of at least 10,000 Christians, Hindus, Jews, agnostics, atheists and Jedi marching on whichever of your addresses you are at at the time. I therefore respectfully request that you do not allow any Muslim preachers into the UK.<br /><br />Second, any decision of Gordon Brown not to resign and call an immediate election will result in the same delegation marching on Downing St. Again, I therefore respectfully suggest that the Prime Mentalist resign forthwith, with a general election to follow immediately.<br /><br />Third, any decision not to tell the European Court of Human 'Rights' to go forth and multiply over the case of Abu Qatada, and a failure to deport him immediately will result in the same delegation marching on the prison where he is being held and holding an impromptu hanging, with similar sized delegations (for similar purposes) marching on the Home Office and both of your residences.<br /><br />Fourth, failure to prosecute members of the Labour Party for outright fraud (most notably yourself, the Cooper-Balls household, Ken Livingstone, Lee Jasper, members of the House of Lords who have been taking bribes in return for amending laws - in fact, the list seems to be endless) will result in a similar delegation marching on Parliament.<br /><br />Yours faithfully,<br /><br /><br />Bishop Brennan<br /><br />PS I have just been told that the right to march on Parliament and break the law is one that is reserved solely for Muslims, with additional rights reserved for those who have killed someone by reading / sending text messages whilst driving. Apologies for my error in believing that all UK citizens were equal before the law.Bishop Brennanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033876184247815366noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562389019058577778.post-19478174842599813252009-02-21T04:14:00.000-08:002009-02-21T04:21:40.878-08:00Post of the year - two contenders<a href="http://bastardoldholborn.blogspot.com/2009/02/jade-goody-to-become-saint.html">By Dungeekin, via Old Holborn</a>.<br /><br />And some pretty good comments too (apart from all the twats going on about bad taste - like selling the rights to your death is in <span style="font-weight:bold;">good </span>taste!).<br /><br /><a href="http://bastardoldholborn.blogspot.com/2009/02/mama-were-all-racist-now.html">And another contender from the same site, this time by Leg-Iron</a>. <a href="http://bishopbrennan.blogspot.com/2009/02/nutter-on-bus.html">Another one for the tossers at 'Liberal' Conspiracy to ponder</a>.<br /><br />Love him or hate him, Old Holborn - and his crew - has become required reading...Bishop Brennanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033876184247815366noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562389019058577778.post-3587396608796960202009-02-17T14:19:00.000-08:002009-02-17T14:44:13.524-08:00Compare and contrast... my declaration of freedom<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1147123/Father-jailed-confronting-drug-dealer-sold-heroin-family.html">Man attacks drug dealer who won't stop selling heroin to members of his family</a>. Gets two months in prison, for what is effectively a minor assault on someone who deserved it - and who won't be punished by the police, CPS or any of the other cunts who supposedly provide 'justice' in what is laughably called our 'criminal justice system'. <a href="http://bastardoldholborn.blogspot.com/2009/02/wheres-justice.html">The Penguin's commentary on Old Holborn's blog says it all</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1146942/Familys-fury-Portuguese-lorry-driver-wiped-couple-children-jailed--free-14-months.html">A lorry driver who killed a family of 6 people (crushed between 2 lorries so that their bodies were not recognisable) on a straight road where there is no good reason for him not to stop (no bad weather, etc.) gets 3 years in prison, which will be 18 months in reality</a>. The family were not criminals and had done nothing wrong. The lorry driver simply couldn't be arsed to concentrate on the road. Hope the cunt dies of cancer.<br /><br />Lord Ahmed is the Labour peer who successfully threatened - with total impunity - to bring 10,000 Muslims to the Horse of Lords to prevent a Dutch MP, Geert Wilders, from showing a film which depicts the violent nature of Islamists. Strangely enough, <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/labour/3539830/Lord-Ahmed-admits-sending-text-message-while-driving-just-before-fatal-crash.html">he didn't show any religious concern for the lives of others when he was sending a text message whilst driving on the motorway, and killed a man</a>. He will get a maximum of 2 years in prison, i.e. 1 year after parole - and, of course, because he's a Labour peer and a Muslim to boot (better if he were gay and disabled, although, given Derek Draper's comments, only a non-'windowlicker' disability...), I guess he will get a suspended sentence. The fat, stupid, terrorist-loving cunt. <br /><br />And people wonder why increasing numbers of us have no confidence in our 'justice' system?!<br /><br />Well, I announce today that I am renouncing the protection of this so-called system of 'justice'. As is my right, I will defend my family using whatever measures are necessary. I do not recognise the authority of the police or any court in the UK. Any action taken against me by those authorities is illegitimate and an abuse of my fundamental rights of self-determination and self-defence.Bishop Brennanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033876184247815366noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562389019058577778.post-62654614199992900202009-02-16T12:32:00.000-08:002009-02-16T14:35:25.225-08:00Nutter on the bus...'<span style="font-style:italic;">Fuckin kids, nah fuckin respect these days.

Usually used to support the idea that anyone who is single cannot possibly work hard, and therefore must pay what used to be regarded (laughably, <span style="font-style:italic;">of course</span>) as penal levels of taxation.<br /><br />'White, anglo-saxon male' - repressor; bastard; value-less, someone that a Muslim (qv) may kill without punishment.<br /><br />'White, anglo-saxon female' - object of the repression and bastardry meted out by the white anglo-saxon male (qv). Nonetheless, may be used for the sexual gratification of a Muslim without punishment.<br /><br />'Tory' - Evil, must be stopped from gaining power at all costs, even if it means abandoning any pretence at democracy in the UK.<br /><br />'School' - place where children from poor backgrounds must be pandered to at all costs, as part of the wider reach of the State. Anyone who suggests that school should be a place of learning a) has clearly not been near one in 20 years, and b) should be locked up, given their potential to harm themselves and Society (NB there <span style="font-weight:bold;">is </span>such a thing as Society, and it can be personalised, so can think, feel, be harmed, etc.).<br /><br />'Social worker' - a state employee who should be given even more power, despite all the evidence that they should have very limited powers (Baby Peter, etc.). <br /><br />'Muslim' - a member of society who has more rights than other people, including the right not to be offended; should this right be breached, Muslims have the right to call for the death of the person causing the offence, to blockade Parliament and, ultimately, to take over the country.<br /> <br />'The NHS' - the official religion of the UK, the only thing held in higher esteem than Islam. No-one may criticise the NHS or suggest that it is a waste of money; punishment is to be told that 'you obviously support the US health system, where 40m people don't have any healthcare, you eeeeeevil Tory (qv), you'. And to be sent to a re-education camp.<br /><br />'Politician' - cunt (common usage, punishable by death); a selfless public servant, provided that they are a liberal (qv). If a Tory, then common usage applies (without threat of death).<br /><br />'MP' - person entitled to enrich themselves at the expense of taxpayers; not to be held to account for any expense claims or to have applied to them standards that are usual for mere mortals.<br /><br />'Minister' - like MP, except even less accountable. Not to be questioned under any circumstances.<br /><br />'America' - the source of all things bad. Though no longer, now that George W Bush has departed, to be replaced by Barack Obama (qv).<br /><br />'Depression' - a word that the Prime Minister only ever uses by accident.<br /><br />'Barack Obama' - the Messiah, who will save us all, banish poverty, solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, bring world peace and usher in a Golden Age, the like of which has never been seen before.<br /><br />'Gordon Brown' - the Messiah, who has already saved the world; John the Baptist to Obama's Jesus.<br /><br />'Courage' - disappearing whenever a problem arises; blaming others when this is not possible.<br /><br />'Tony Blair' - formerly thought to be the Messiah, now shown to simply have been 'a very naughty boy'.<br /><br />'Grammar' - a device used by the eeeevil middle- and upper-classes to repress the working masses; used to describe schools which took the brightest working class children and co-opted them into the System.<br /><br />'Politically impartial' - Allowed to occasionally criticise the Labour Party, provided this is counter-balanced by a worse example on the part of the Tories (qv).<br /><br />'Criminal' - Any member of the middle classes who drives above the speed limit. No longer applies to anyone who was brought up by a single parent / in a 'low-income' (qv) family / from an ethnic minority / etc. who commits murder / rape / theft / etc. They cannot be criminals because it is not their fault that they do these things, but the fault of the System.<br /><br />'Low-income' - anyone whose income is less than £100,000 a year, unless they come from a middle-class family with two heterosexual parents who love each other.<br /><br /><br />I'm sure you have many more - perhaps we ought to start a New New Labour dictionary website?Bishop Brennanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033876184247815366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562389019058577778.post-9203882479766266192009-02-15T10:23:00.000-08:002009-02-15T10:38:51.890-08:00And it begins to sink in...<a href="http://conservativehome.blogs.com/torydiary/2009/02/who-will-be-the.html">just how far Labour have fucked us</a>...<br /><br />Will the last non-chav turn out the lights on their way out, please?<br /><br />What will all the benefit scum do when we've left them behind? :-)Bishop Brennanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033876184247815366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562389019058577778.post-9160886713071984342009-02-14T10:32:00.001-08:002009-02-14T10:47:42.938-08:00Wanker of the WeekBack by popular demand...<br /><br />And today's wanker is...

None of the comments you cite are racist - they simply reflect reality in Brown's Britain.

Only my hamster died, so it's not so bad (although R****** G*** is a bit upset, especially as F****** S*** ate it...).<br /><br />Anyway, gave me a chance to visit an old friend, aka the <a href="http://thebeastofclerkenwell.blogspot.com/">Beast</a>. Although he hasn't posted recently (other than on Guido's comments, I was revisiting a classic <a href="http://thebeastofclerkenwell.blogspot.com/2008/04/future-of-britain-as-we-all-know-our.html">sick / funny post about the disabled</a>. Personally, I think it's a sign of civilisation when we support the disabled to be productive members of society. But I have to agree with <a href="http://leg-iron.livejournal.com/">Leg-Iron</a> for this comment, which I think is self-explanatory - and deserves a wider airing:<br /><br /><blockquote>Most of the disabled are only helpless because people tell them they're helpless. There is a big difference, never stated because it's not PC, between 'disabled' and 'useless'.<br /><br />To any of those who say 'Oh, I'm disabled, you must feel sorry for me and look after me for the rest of my days because I'm unable to do anything for myself', I have one name to drop.<br /><br />Stephen Hawking.<br /><br />He's the most severely disabled person I've ever seen, and he's also the most brilliant scientist in the country. No benefit-scrounging for this guy, he makes all the money he needs through his own efforts.<br /><br />If you're happy to sit back and live off benefits for the rest of your life, it's not because you're disabled.<br /><br />It's because you're useless.

Whilst the article is flawed - not least in its call for <a href="http://www.order-order.com/2009/01/friday-caption-competition-fiscal.html">Splash Gordon</a> to actually adopt a position of British jobs for British workers - it shows the sheer alarm in the Labour Party about the loss of their core supporters and the concommitant rise of the BNP - Labour voters are switching to them, illustrating that they are a left-wing party, not a right-wing one, no matter what idiots on <em>Liberal Conspiracy</em> try to claim...<br /><br />But is it the 'white, working class' who should be angry - or those of us who have seen our taxes pissed down the toilet (strange and incongruous, I know, given <a href="http://www.order-order.com/2009/01/tears-of-brown.html">this week's stories that suggest that Gordo can't actually manage to get to the toilet...</a>) by this useless, ideologically-driven Government? Note - they're not just incompetent. They are deliberately fucking our country up.<br /><br />One example: schools. Because they can't even get schools to teach our kids to read, write and count, they've given up. Instead, schools are to become a core part of 'children's services' policies to tackle 'inequality' - not, as Grammar schools used to, by teaching them useful skills and knowledge, but by telling them that it's not their fault if they don't learn... even if it's because they're fucking lazy bastards. Don't believe me? Have a look at <a href="http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/consultations/index.cfm?action=consultationDetails&consultationId=1584&external=no&menu=1">21st Century Schools: A World-Class Education for Every Child / A School Report Card</a>. It simply beggars belief.<br /><br />And some people actually thought Brown would be better than Blair. Although, to be fair (and to borrow a phrase), this isn't Brown, it's Balls.<br /><br />Not enough for you? How about this from <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article5614919.ece">Thursday's Times</a>:<br /><br /><blockquote>There have been intense discussions on Labour’s National Executive Committee about how to help the 4.5 million people waiting for social housing and to get the construction industry back to work, The Times has learnt.</blockquote><br /><br />Now, how the fuck, after a boom lasting 15 years or so, are there 4.5 million people on the waiting list for social housing?! Are there that many useless Brits? Probably... Or is it that we have imported 4.5 million people from Poland, Ukraine, Brazil, Pakistan, Nigeria, etc. - well, they all seem to live near me, in my rapidly-depreciating tiny flat in Chav-ville. But weren't we told that these people were generating an economic benefit? So it 'can't' be them! <br /><br />And what about our wonderfully generous benefits system - generous, that is, to frauds, cheats, liars and other scumbugs (strange that this also fits the description of most members of Parliament...), but not if you are old and need social care, having paid taxes for others' care throughout your working life. Or you've become unemployed in your 50s, after paying taxes all your working life. <a href="http://tomisswithlove.blogspot.com/2009/01/if-youll-lie-to-one.html">Just have a look at Ms Snuffy's, errr, heart-warming modern day story about a benefits scam</a>, albeit one perpetrated by an Indian family, rather than by white trash.<br /><br />So, I ask. What have the striking twats got to strike about?<br /><br />- They largely voted for this Government of all the Gobshites - or at least funded it, given their membership of Trade Unions like Unite. <br />- It is the middle classes that are paying for them and their families. The 'poor' cheat the benefits system and / or don't earn enough, whilst the truly rich can get around paying tax. The sods in the middle get (financially) fisted by Gay Gordon and his merry band of cunts.<br />- They've priced themselves out of the labour market by demanding wages and benefits (wages in all but name) which are out of kilter with their productivity.<br /><br />It is people like me, who've been paying for all this shite - and will pay for it in the future (although I can move abroad and escape) - who should be going on strike and protesting in the street.
