new miners compensation scheme, and the vultures are circling

We've had money grabbing bastards from Beresfords and Raleys, now a Cardiff firm of solicitors are touting for business to make claims on behalf of miners for the 'Miners Knee' compensation scheme that comes into effect in the summer.

According to Jeff Ennis, solicitors are not required to make compensation claims, but the thieving chancers can smell a profit.

dave douglass book launch

The further adventures of a working class hero are about to be revealed!

Dave Douglass has published part 2 of his “Stardust & Coaldust” trilogy autobiography, ‘The Wheel’s Still In Spin’.

There’s a launch night in Doncaster on Thursday 7th May, 8:30 at the Broadway Hotel, Dunscroft. Come along, hear some readings and get yourself a signed copy.

purnell, filthy thieving sod

Despite claiming £1,050 for cleaning, using the second homes allowance, James Purnell, the Work and Pensions Secretary, lost his flat rental deposit because there were red wine stains on the walls, damp patches on the carpet and filth in the kitchen.


What a pig sty, but apt for a politician with his snout in the trough.

cameron's culture of thrift

Cameron's proposed 'culture of thrift' will, of course, be applied to us, but not to him and his over-privileged kind.

Fuck off you tory twat.

swine flu pandemic warning

BREAKING NEWS:
All pigs to be vaccinated as a precautionary measure.

Emergency flu jabs to be given to the FIT and TSG first.

oh no, the rich are suffering!

The richest 1,000 people in the UK are down to their last £258billion, how will they manage!?

Perhaps were should start a 'Rich in Need' Charity and have an interminable TV programme dedicated to empty our pockets. Celebrities, with back catalogues to sell, will surely give up time to help. And you can always count on Terry Wogan to compere, for a fee of course (as he does for Children in Need)

But wait a minute, we already donate to their aid with our labour and by paying taxes that they so cleverly avoid.

Remember what Billionaire Leona Helmsley said,

We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes...

FUCK 'EM. I hope they choke on their second helping of caviar.

tsg taking their batons home

Police in the Met’s Territorial Support Group are threatening to take their batons home unless they can get away with murder.

They are so upset that their members have been suspended, whilst investigated for assault and manslaughter at the G20 protests, that they are planning to withdraw from 'policing' demos.

In that case, I gratefully accept your resignations you arrogant, malicious, lying bastards.

e.on, bastards

At the beginning of this month e.on sent me a letter announcing that they were reducing the price of electricity (but not gas). A little bit of energy cost cheer, or so I thought.

Yesterday they sent me another letter putting my monthly payments up by 20%.

It looks like e.on's fuckwit Mark Owen-Lloyd, who when asked how high gas and oil prices could be affected by a harsh winter said,

It will make more money for us

got what he wanted. BASTARD.

50% tax for the rich

Squeeze them till their pips squeak?

Pah!

Squeeze them till they croak.

'very big' and comment

Nicked verbatim from the Chicken Yoghurt blog.

‘Very big’

On April 9, about the arrest of 12 people in the north west of England, Gordon Brown, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom had this to say…

We are dealing with a very big terrorist plot. We have been following it for some time. There were a number of people who are suspected of it who have been arrested. That police operation was successful.

On April 22…

All 12 men arrested over a suspected bomb plot in the UK have now been released without charge by police.

The Prime Minister’s response to this news, is not yet recorded.

Oh, and despite 11 of them - Pakistani nationals - being ‘here lawfully on student visas’, they have ‘been transferred to UK Borders Agency custody and face possible deportation’. Well, you wouldn’t want them hanging around embarrassing us all, would you?

The timing of these arrests were crucial - the cops were looking bad after revelations of their G20 violence.

What should they do?

Oh yes! Round up a bunch of 'illegal immigrants', call them terrorists, and suddenly the boys and girls in blue will be death defying heroes saving our bacon again.

OOPS!

EDIT: Quote from 'terrorist' suspect defence solicitor,

There should be more evidence than having a big beard for terrorism arrests.

exercise your right to protest

I've just received a strange email from theircrisisnotours.org.uk stating that

The police have refused to authorise our planned demonstration on Whitehall at 11.30am and have made clear that, if it takes place, the organiser will be liable to arrest and imprisonment for up to a year.

To avoid any police action against protesters turning up, we have been forced to cancel this demonstration.

Then it goes on to say

Our protest from 5pm-7pm outside the Treasury will still take place.

Make sure you come along and exercise your right to protest.

Surely if you're going to exercise the right to protest it would be more appropriate to attend the one that the police have refused to authorise instead of limply skulking away at the first cop threat.

st. george commenting on protest

Eco toff guru, St. George Monbiot, writing in the Guardian today says,

Police officers seem able to use violence with impunity.

The policing of the G20 protests at the beginning of this month was ­routine. Policemen hiding their identification numbers and beating up peaceful protesters is as much a part of British life as grey skies and red buses.

Well why not fight back, self defence is not a crime.

Change will not come about by peaceful means. Government have always been happy to permit peaceful police controlled protests because they cause no problems, and consequently can be easily ignored. The massive StW demo is a case in point. Had all those people taken control of the capital (by sheer weight of numbers on that occasion) rather than marching round in pre determined circles, the war may indeed have been stopped - well at least the UK's involvement.

A bunch of middle class wannabe eco-Ghandis aren't going to change anything, more fight, less hands in the air is what's required.

As St. George says,

Interestingly, they [the police] also appeared to allow genuine rioters to break into a branch of RBS. This, too, is a familiar pattern: the police beat up peaceful protesters and stand by when vandals create some easy headlines for the tabloids.

Sounds like winning tactics to me.

And to quote Alan Moore (V for Vendetta)

People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.

political views are evidence

From the Guardian (click on 'This' below to see video)

On Friday 13 June last year, protestors hijacked a coal train on its way to Drax power station in Yorkshire. The next day, the suspected activists' houses were raided by police.

This is a video shot and edited by the father of one of those activists.

The officers tell him they are seizing material that will "prove evidence of his views". Copies of the New Statesman magazine were "seized because they have got political articles in them". Literature from the campaign group War on Want was taken because it is of a "political nature".

I currently have some Class War stickers magazines and papers,, English Democrats and Conservative Party election leaflets, old Red Party magazines, Doncaster 50+ and older peoples parliament literature, the IWCA's aims and priciples, the Labour Representation Committee's draft programme, a load of letters from Caroline Flint(my MP), and a UKIP leaflet my mum's partner gave me to read.

What the hell does that lot prove about my views?

call for cop violence debate

The IPCC, that well known cop biased whitewasher, have called for a debate on police violence whilst they, ahem, 'maintain public order.'

Surely this should have been instigated 25 years ago following the despicable violent tactics used by police against the miners.

freddy patel, the coppers' friend

This bloke should never again be allowed to carry out post mortems, particularly on persons who died 'following police contact,' as death by cop is euphemistically called.

I would point out, for information purposes only, that perverting the course of justice carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

More info on the, not so good, doctor here.

tomlinson 10 minutes before baton and push

Three photos of Ian Tomlinson shown here with police 10 minutes before he was attacked with a baton and roughly shoved to the ground.

Did the cops deliberately follow and target Tomlinson for the final assault because of this previous contact?

EDIT: New post-mortem results in, cause of death not heart attack but abdominal bleeding

the paper that loves to smear....

....is at it again.

The Sun/Scum seem content to demonise anyone brutalised or criminally neglected by police.

Their despicable reporting practice peaked 20 years ago with their digusting lies about the Hillsborough 96.

This time they're disparaging a G20 protestor, who was battered by a cop, for allegedly accepting a moneymaking deal with shitface Max Clifford.

What the hell, she'll not get any justice from any investigation/review, she might as well take the cash.

G20 evidence mounts

As the evidence of police violence mounts, as seen here, there is a concerted campaign by some journalists, particularly those at Sky, to smear the victims of this police brutality and excuse the cops' systematic excesses.

And of course any hope of justice being done is forlorn, since the individual investigations will be carried out by the IPCC and the policing tactics review by Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Constabulary (HMIC).

Neither of these organisations are renowned for their independence - they both piss in the same pot as the filth that they investigate.

climate change

Climate change activists seem to be split into two camps.

1. Eco-toffs and their middle class arse-licking sycophants:

These fuckers want to save the planet by restricting the working class to charabang day trips for holidays so that they can continue their jetset lifestyles on the back of working class carbon savings. Unfortunately, in terms of climate, these daft twats have carbon footprints that far outweigh any savings that would be gained from reducing the working class to forelock tugging peasants.

2. Dozy primmo hippies:

These year zero Pol Pot tits would like us all to scratch a living dirt farming turnips so that we can eat them by candlelight - fucking mental bastards. Yes Reinold, I mean you.

I care about the environment in which I live, and the world that my grandchildren will inherit, but the antics of these idiots only encourages me to burn railway sleepers, old tyres, lignite and plastic packaging to spite them.

lord adonis express

That woefully named New Labour wimp, the Transport Minister, Lord Adonis, is on a voyage of discovery this week, traveling by train.

His itinerary for the rest of the week is;

Wednesday: Brighton, Ashford International, Margate, Gillingham, Gravesend, Tilbury, Upminster, Romford, Ipswich and Norwich

Thursday: Norwich to Peterborough, Birmingham, Chester, Crewe, Manchester, Preston and Carlisle

Friday: Carlisle to Newcastle via Middlesbrough and Darlington. Then on to Inverness via Edinburgh and Falkirk

Saturday: Inverness to Edinburgh via Aberdeen before ending the tour with a visit to the National Railway Museum in York

He is apparently slumming it with us common folk in standard class, so if you do have the misfortune to bump into him whilst traveling on our overcrowded, overpriced and inadequate rail system, please tell him to GO FUCK OFF.

deserved blue plaque for jacqui

Oustanding greed deserves recognition - and there are quite a few more who deserve a similar plaque.

schools hire ex cops

Schools are advertising for classroom supervisors saying the job "would suit people with police experience." Teachers Unions suggest that this is more to do with "crowd control" than giving kids a decent education.

However, recent events suggest that police are more adept at battering the innocent than any form of control, especially self-control.

Here are your class supervisors for the new term kids......


..........better do as you are told, or else.

If you vote BNP

This is what you get.....


.....Fascist Scum

why no official cctv footage of tomlinson assault...

...that is the question asked in today's Telegraph.

Obviously it is not due to lack of cameras, so where is it? Perhaps it was a little too condemnatory of police actions.

The article says,

...there's scarcely a wall unencumbered by a CCTV camera...And yet, when a policeman at the G20 protests apparently attacked a man who was merely trying to walk home, no CCTV footage of the alleged assault was forthcoming.

We saw what really happened only because a bystander captured it on video.

It then goes onto the publishing of Bob Quick's photo gaff,

...strictly speaking, the photograph wasn't legal...according to the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008, it's against the law to publish information about the intelligence services that is "likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism".

But this photo, which undoubtedly would be useful in that context, was published with impunity. Consequently the Telegraph article surmises that the law really means,

don't go shooting video footage of G20 policemen if they apparently push over a non-violent non-protester.

(or anything else that incriminates the filth) Couldn't have put it better myself.

power of prayer

In response to the situation surrounding Claudia Lawrence's disappearance, Councillor Paul Blanchard commented on Facebook saying,

Prayers have gone out from York Minster’s ‘community’ to the family of a woman who has been missing from her home in the city.

Like praying is going to achieve anything!

Surely it’s part of ‘God’s plan’ that she goes missing? Who are we to question God’s judgement? Or is God on some kind of sick kickfest where he makes her go missing, sees how many people pray to him, and then decides to intervene based on numbers of prayers received?

And if he intervenes here, and therefore has the power to intervene on other matters but chose not to, what kind of a nasty, horrible god is he? Why didn’t he step in to save Elizabeth Fritzl? Was she less worthy of saving from her situation?

The point is, surely out of all the pointless things to do here, praying wins the prize. Time would be better spent out looking for her, surely.

Unfortunately the New Labour numpty has since withdrawn these sensible comments and is now being investigated by his political party. Presumably St Tony, the annointed one, will be interceding with god on this one.

pervy, arrogant, mindless thugs

When police officers are not battering bystanders who later die, or doing three times the speed limit on the way to killing a young woman, they are filming young lasses in swimming pool changing rooms.

So this is how it is; we are policed by pervy, arrogant, mindless thugs with a disregard for the lives of anyone other than themselves.

one cop going down

One cop going down.......hopefully the first of many.


Not only did this arrogant sod think that his cop given skills could allow him to drive at 94mph in a 30 area and kill a young woman with impunity, but the filth attending the scene tasered the victim's boyfriend to calm him down!

I hope this may indicate a chance of justice for Ian Tomlinson, the poor bloke who died after being assaulted by the police at the G20 protest, but I won't hold my breath.

pay up or move out

An interesting look at private rented housing here, albeit written from a middle class perspective, does illustrate the unsettled, insecure existence of tenants, and the potential for exploitative landlords.

The writer says,

Because I live in private rented housing, it's entirely possible that I could find myself obliged to move every six months until I die. I'm not being neurotic or pessimistic - it could actually happen....... in Britain the standard tenancy lasts just six months, and bad landlords delight in keeping tenants on tenterhooks come renewal time.

One of my daughters has had her fair share of this in recent years, even being forced to move in the period between Christmas and New Year on one occasion.

Recently, housing charities and lawyers have noticed that section 21 of the 1988 Housing Act - put simply, the first step in giving notice to quit - is being used to undermine security. Some landlords even start the process of ending the tenancy on the very day renters move in, encouraging (or compelling) them to sign an acknowledgment that a section 21 notice has been served.

Renters who understand what they've signed are rattled, and increasingly reluctant to press for repairs, or they might accept untoward rent increases, fearing that, if they refuse, they will be shown the door.

With the social housing stock constantly diminishing due to Thatcher's 'right to buy' scheme, and the financial constraints placed on council's that prevent the building of replacement homes, this situation is already out of hand and is likely to increase.

It is time for a major rethink on council housing, and the laws that make the term 'security of tenure' meaningless.

standard police medic resuscitation

fucking murderous cop scum

This is how the fucking filth caused Ian Tomlinson's death, video link here.

Police - fucking lying, cowardly, bullying scum.

sleaze within the rules

Prior 1997, New Labourites were eminent students of Tory sleaze.

It now appears that they've used this acquired knowledge to perfect the art of pocket lining.....and all within the rules.

And it's the high ranking Ministers that show the way - leading by example I expect.

Those currently in the public eye, Smith, Hoon, and McNulty, have been joined by the chancellor of the exchequer, Alistair Darling.

Darling has already admitted that he only found out about the recession by reading a newspaper whilst on holiday in Majorca, and now says it's worse than he thought.

Somehow, however, he seems to perform much better at enlarging his own bank account.

Money grabbing and incompetence are not a healthy mix in the holder of the nation's chequebook.

police assaulted G20 death man

The death of the G20 protests 'bystander' was initially attributed by a police post mortem to natural causes. A City of London police statement said: "[He] suffered a sudden heart attack while on his way home from work."

And an IPCC statement, based on these police pronouncements was due to be released portraying the death as a tragic accident (end of investigation).

However, evidence has now appeared that indicates Mr Tomlinson (the deceased) was a victim of police violence in the moments before he collapsed.

This proves that the IPCC is definitely biased and incompetent. The revelation that they were to fully accept the the police's version of events relating to the death without examining evidence from other quarters is utterly condemning.

For any outside chance of justice to be done, a fully independent inquiry must be carried out.

flooding prevents crime

EXCLUSIVE;)

New Labour are considering a novel crime prevention initiative.

Following reports that crime has dropped dramatically in a South Yorkshire village since the 2007 floods, the Home Office are planning a pilot scheme to flood working class areas in an attempt to recreate reduced crime levels evidenced in Toll Bar.

If similar results are obtained from this pilot, the scheme will be rolled out nationally in 2010, when all working class areas will be systematically flooded.

The police are crap and politicians are contemptuous of the working class, but targets are targets, so they'll try anything...........possibly.

G20 death

The police smokescreen and planting of lies (aka the de Menezes effect), that are so well supported by the Press, has begun in earnest.

In the Telegraph today:

An unnamed newspaper vendor at Monument station said:"He must have fallen over and someone must have scared him and then he got trampled on by the mob.....It was not the police's fault."

Of course he was unnamed, he didn't exist, it's just lazy lying journalists regurgitating police fairy tales.

A statement of imaginary supposition by an imaginary unnamed person, crudely designed to divert attention from police culpability.......and printed with glee by media gobshites.

macca has the solution.....hahaha

Sir Paul McCartney is proposing a spiritual shake-up in schooling for the national curriculum.

“I believe that in the future meditation could be as commonplace in schools and society as eco-awareness is now”

Problem pupils can be calmed and made more responsive to learning after ten minutes of meditation.

“It interests me that an ancient cure may be the solution to a modern problem,” says Macca, who is inviting every UK secondary school to sign up.

What a pile of hippie shite, you dumb fucker.

another $trillion in the pot...

....and the vultures are circling.

The G20's promised injection of $1tn dollars, of our money, for the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, has started a feeding frenzy on the stock markets.

The greedy twats can smell a profit.

death of a G20 protester

It has been announced that the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) are to investigate the death of the protester who died during the G20 protests yesterday.

This does not fill me with any confidence in an independent, impartial and effective inquiry being carried out. And it is clear this is not just my personal prejudice. The public accounts committee say that the IPCC is not functioning properly.

The IPCC

has failed to monitor its work properly, laying itself open to allegations of bias and incompetence.......Little attempt has been made to find out if people who complain about the police feel that their concerns are properly addressed....

There'll be no justice from this inquiry, cops and IPCC are all pissing in the same bucket.

RBS, RBS your windows are a fucking mess

Well, after all my pessimism (especially on here), things seem to be shaping up nicely.

And things may get better, G20 leaders are having a meal cooked by Jamie Oliver tonight. Let's hope he's learnt a thing or two from Heston 'gastroenteritis' Blumenthal.

Anyhoo, well done for today folks.

PS. Can someone give some close attention to SkyNews' commentator, Crispian Black, the State's official gobshite.
