I feel it may be important for those who enter my website to know exactly what the neurotic nutcase and who writes all this drivel - actually looks like.
And who used to design all this outrageous lingerie and swimwear...And why I still flaunt it...myself.
Because, although clearly, I may be a loose cannon trapped in a neurotic, windy attic of a sick mind, there are also a few
Catholic Trappist Monks living in very remote monastries who do not get the same opportunities as other red blooded males to get
to see the FIGURE (not just the statue) behind volumes of the outrageous tissues of absurd daily media codswallop!

2010 - THE YEAR OF MANDATORY GENERAL ELECTIONS IN THE UK
We all know that in light of the economic chaos that has almost brought this once great nation to the verge of ruin,
all parties will be making even more 'impossible to keep' promises than Nero and other Roman madmen made to the
Christians before they were fed them to the lions
In a way, there is a slight parallel. We have an unelected Prime Minister called Brown. Some within his Party feel he is
'black-hearted' Brown, particularly some of the heads of the Armed services. They feel he cared more about saving
failing Banks with public money, than he did about giving them the tools to save soldiiers lives in Afghanisan.
The Daily Mirror is the only newspaper left who actually supports the Labour Party. That in itself will make it quite difficult for Labour to win a majority vote. Notwithstandng the fact that many feel that when Brown was exchequer he made
some horrible financial decisions. The worst one being, that against the Bank of England officials advice he, in a determined manner, sold 400 tons of gold bullion in a series of auctions between 1999 and 2002, when the price was at a 20-year low. Since then, the price of gold has quadrupled, meaning the decision cost us taxpayers billions of pounds.
Normally, that would have been enough to have any previous Minister sent to Coventry until his ears fell off from old
age. Yet this same man has stayed on in office and eventually became an unelected Prime Minister when Tony
Blair was wise enough to step down ( knowing full well that the financial effluage was soon to hit the fan. Which it did)
This current Prime Minister, Brown, has survived many in-house coups to unseat him. The latest only recently.
For unfathomable reasons Brown has bullied his way through each crisis and his tough and dour Scottish
blood often seems as thick and durable as his indefatigable, crocodile-like skin.
His chief opponent in the election is the younger and more socially appealing David Cameron who is not without
a sharp wit even though inexpereinced in many political ways. But even if Cameron's Conservative Party is elected
undoing the horrible damage years of Labour rule has wraught seems to be a daunting and probably unpopular task.
The other contender, Leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, Clegg appears to be quite competent, but is a little fickle
about what his Party actually represents and what changes it could implement that the Conservatives could not!
BIG MOTHER, GRANNY (CCTV addict) JACQUI SMITH, TELLS DUTCH QUIXOTE TO DYKE OFF AND TILT AT HIS OWN WINDMILLS
Geet Wilders is an MP from an EU country. We all know he's a right wing extremist who is fearful of Muslin Radicals who are plotting to 'Goldfinger' the west into oblivion. Therefore, our Home secretary (that shining example of bitter British woman hood) Jacqui Smith, sent him packing back to the Dykes to do his Don Quixote act amongst the local Muslim Windmills of his semi-facist mind. But to ban him entry on the basis he just might provoke an incident among British Muslims, was as un-democratic as any EC government could ever get. The fellow wanted to be present at the showing of his film to the house of Lords. He wanted to point out that 5 Verses of the Koran should either be
removed from the publication, or at least discussed by Muslim Leaders. Wilders might be paranoid about Islam. But if
he had wanted to show a film about how much murder, rape, pillage, inciting to riot, incest and violence against infidels as is portrayed in the Bible, then no one would have blinked an eye. Clearly, the Uk Government want to appease Muslims in the UK. They're not interested in appeasing Christians. Christians gave up putting heathens to the sword for being non-Christians centuries ago. But, sadly when radical Muslims get angry, well, funny things happen to Public transport, etc. And such incidents are not a great winner of votes. I think we all know there is a silent majority of Muslims who accept all that is said and sit and do nothing when the extremists take over...and take over they do and shall. Step by step. Thankfully, Mild mannered Muslims are not prepared to explode for their beliefs. We know that too. And, if you can find me a Christian these days who will go into the Lion's den for his/her beliefs then I'll show you a liar, and fibber.... all thrown into one! All that aside - regardless of your beliefs, barring Wilders was politically cowardly & undemocratic! And although now that has been overturned since Smith was replaced. It damaged diplomatic relationships.
Jacqui Smith may be thinking of buying a holiday home in Amsterdam, which she can probably find a way of claiming for on a
Commons allowance, but I wonder if she'll get stopped at Skipol Airport and get sent packing back to blighty? Judging by the emails I got, half the country thinks her and the British Foreign Minister David Miliband, if he's in her suitcase and not in her bed, will get the heave too! ADDENDUM: The Ban on Wilders was overturned by the British Courts in September 2009
USING FEAR TO PREVENT TERROR? -Brilliant thinking-
Knowing we can't frighten Terrorist fanatics, as they hope to die anyway... regardless...
our smart UK Government has now set out to frighten all us citizens instead.
This Big Brother style of 'fear is the key' attitude seems like a Baldrick cunning
plan except no one can work out how it actually works?
Dame Stella Rimington, the ex-boss of MI5 (known to 007 aficionados as 'M') said the UK government risks creating a police state with its relentless attacks on people's privacy and creation of a culture of fear. She told the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia: “It would be better if the Government recognised that there are risks, rather than using fear on UK citizens in order to be able to pass laws which restrict civil liberties. Which is precisely one of the objectives of terrorism: that we live in fear and under a police state.”
Rimington was even more critical of the US use of torture and the Guantanamo prison camp which helps justify the work of extremists.
Dame Stella, along with an ex Deputy Police Commissioner in charge of anti-terrorism at Scotland Yard, had previously spoken out against government plans for ID cards on many occasions, and both said it would be of no benefit in the fight against terrorism.
Of course "M" is not alone - the International Commission of Jurists released results of a three year investigation into the impact of anti-terror laws. The one thing that became clear, out of that, is that under EU laws, it is actually a breach of Human Rights for anyone to carry any form of ID cards, if they choose not to. Clearly, the bungling Home Secretary is in for a fight before
these cards become mandatory.
These latest comments were made as the Home Office prepares to publish plans for a significant expansion of state surveillance, with powers for the police and security services to monitor every email, as well as telephone and internet activity. This will make
UK citizens the most spied on in the western world. Did I just hear George Orwell's sepulchral tones of dismay as he turned over in his Tomb - while Comrade Stalin muttered, 'it was only a matter of time!

GOODWIN TAKES 'EM TO THE CLEANERS - LAUGHS ALL THE WAY OUT OF THE BANK.
Sir Fred Goodwin, gentleman, scholar and Pukka Sahib of the highest order has refused to hand back his £16m
pension even though his descision has been condemned by the Treasury as "unacceptable". Fred the Shred is unperturbed. As Sir Fred said to me (privately) " ill-gotten gains usually require a Court Order to reclaim and I have great confidence in the famous incompetence of the CPS in such matters, which means I get to keep the cunning gained loot .
The most honorable Sir Fred added, " I have no idea what the fuss is about. My £16 Million quid is petty cash compared with the billions of tax payers money those two thick Burkes, Brown and Darling, have squandered in the last year. At least I did some work, in fact I cleverly pulled the wool over Darling's bushy white eyesbrows on so many occasions, it's a wonder he hasn't had to buy a seeing eye dog.
I admit I might get the cold shoulder at some of my private Mayfair Clubs for a week or two, but with me buying the scotch for those bludging buggers, I'll be persona gratis again in no time. But Brown and Darling will go down in history as the two biggest fuck-ups this country has ever known since Mohamed Abdel Moneim Fayed was allowed to conspire to steal Wheeler Dealer 'Tiny' Rowland's Jewel of the Nile from his safety deposit box and then turn Harrods into a glorified Cairo Casbah type Supermarket with the profits."
GORDON BROWN DOES THE WHITE HOUSE - WHILE OBAMA BARAK'S FOR THE SRI LANKAN CRICKET TEAM'S PLIGHT
Midweek - March 4th 2009
Our man in Washington, Gordon the Brown, while not Tartan clad, but somehow - in his dark suit - looking decidedly bland alongside the dapper American President, refused to apologise to the world for his errors. Right! Well hang on a moment, while I have never been a Brown fan, I think the ganging up on him by the UK Media regarding the fact he has not resorted to getting on his knees to say 'I am sorry' when in actual fact the entire world, beginning with the USA, were far more at fault for the current recession than poor Brown. He inherited a lot of errors made by others...including blunders by his own Ministers...so, as much as I dislike having to say this, I don't think Brown needs to apologise for anything. In fact, his Ministers have made far more errors than he has...but the buck stops at the top, I guess!
We know Brown is not the best Prime Minister we have ever had. In fact he is well down the scale...and will never be a statesman. But fair is fair. And, although Obama was polite to Brown, Obama talked more about the plight of the Sri Lankan cricket team after the brutal attack by the Paki terrorists...well, I am presuming they were Pakistanians and not illegal refugees and employees of
the Royal House of Windsor!
