hey chaps...was it cricket...or chequers?



the winner of our general-election sweepstake is mr votes and values cast down the disused mineshaft, who, at precisely 8.04pm on 28th october 2014, correctly predicted that nigel façade's uslip party would terminally damage the prospects of a labour victory at the may 7th polls, leaving the conservatives largely unscathed in comparison...

...and lo it came to pass that the crafty conservatives were seamlessly shoed-in by devious default...

...so congratulations to our hot-shot forecaster of fascism, who duly wins the chance-of-a-lifetime opportunity to watch his tender aspirations for freedom legally phased-out, law-by-liberty-leaching-law, in a fundamentally dysfunctional democracy, where repression rules ok.

howzat?

foolproof selection said...

at the next national election, i propose that we fit all prospective parliamentary candidates into straitjackets, bind them with separate heavy-duty ten-metre-long steel-chains (each secured with 50 unpickable bramah padlocks), place the budding westminster hopefuls in individual sealed trunks (using concrete-paving-slabs as ballast), and then finally, at high tide, chuck the bloody lot-of-'em off the middle of westminster bridge, such that they sink right to the river-bottom...

...and obviously the first 650 competing candidates to make it out of the river thames to the shore will be duly returned as members of the house of commons...

...thus ensuring a fairer, more proportional system of democratic representation, and a far higher grade of parliamentary candidature than hitherto attained in british ballots.

of course, we could opt to hold the vote at an alternative location, directly above the white cliffs of dover, however i believe it is now generally accepted that the 'first-to-the-coast' system is not only rather out-moded, but also extremely environmentally anti-social.

the dark side of scottish nationalism said...

unlike the uk government, we here at spark up! have always respected the fundamental human-right of scottish people to rule themselves and go their own independent way...

...but we have never supported nationalism - the last refuge of nobheads.

on 3rd may 2015, sheku bayoh, a 31-year-old sierra leonean gas engineer with a young family, died in police custody, yet the arresting police department in kirkcaldy, fife, scotland, has seemingly attempted to cover up the full truth behind this man's death, and has claimed, all-too-predictably, that one “petite” female officer, one of nine police officers involved in the actual arrest, feared for her life.

the guardian: cs and pepper sprays used in arrest of man who died, says lawyer

the courier: sheku bayoh death: family issue new call for answers from police

is this the brave new scotland of which the scottish national party dreams? quite possibly so.

surprisingly, the voice online, 'britain's favourite black newspaper', and a jamaican-based business, has not even bothered to report on this story...

...iz it coz the victim was 'jock', or iz it coz he was african?

labour - the party of choice for totalitarian tit-heads said...

the labour party has just realized that a major contributory-factor in alienating the working-class voter from the socialist cause was its obstinate, up-its-own-arse, ideologically obsessive decision to deny the british electorate a clear choice on whether to be ruled by the undemocratic, corrupt, and dictatorial european union.

durrrrrrrrrr...

it's who you know that counts - not your value as a human-being said...

@the dark side of scottish nationalism

yes, the lack of publicity surrounding the unexplained death in police-custody of sheku bayoh is astonishing.

has there been a nationwide political cover-up involving the three largest parties in westminster?

pitifully, the petition demanding truth and justice for sheku bayoh on change.org has only 86 supporters at present - this very low level of interest may result from the victim reportedly having been seen wielding a knife, chasing and kicking out at cars...

...nevertheless, one must appreciate that the sequence of events leading up to mr bayoh's death in custody have not yet been properly explained, and that prior to his arrest - when a policewoman received a bump on the head - mr bayoh had harmed absolutely no-one.

of course, if mr bayoh had been a notorious member of the criminal underworld, london would already have been in flames by now...

...but that's the mindset of black political activists for you...

the more you read, the more suspicious the death in custody of sheku bayoh becomes:

the daily record: 'you will live on in your boys': sheku bayoh's ex pays emotional tribute two days after dad-of-two died in police custody

"surprisingly, the voice online, 'britain's favourite black newspaper', and a jamaican-based business, has not even bothered to report on this story...

probably neither of these answers is correct - the voice on-line tub-thumps a very pro-socialist, pro-europe agenda and is therefore reluctant to offend its ideological pals in the scottish national party by criticizing the scottish one-party-state's police-force.

moreover, despite obama's appalling war-mongering in africa and the middle-east, the voice on-line is very pro the current white house administration, which wishes to see the united kingdom neatly locked-into and controlled by the european union - so i imagine that the voice on-line's editorship is under strict instruction from its democrat masters in washington to support the scottish national party against the supposed threat of conservative euro-scepticism.

ok, i'm sure that, in response, those at the voice would argue that they take this pro-obama, pro-european, pro-socialist, pro-snp line on the grounds of preserving our human-rights under the european convention - yet how does ignoring the case of sheku bayoh's death in custody protect the human-rights of people being unlawfully killed by police scotland?

the truth is that obama is obsessed with global control, socialism is based on a concept of total control, the european union is bent on undemocratic control - including the protectionist trade-controls which impoverish africa - the scottish national party is constructing a one-party control-state, and the repressive ranks of police scotland are out-of-control.

i wonder...for what does the voice really stand? control or human rights? socialism or nationalism? or some freaky political cocktail combining both ideologies, maybe...? indeed, is the voice now guilty of backing the same political party in scotland as rupert murdoch...?

instead of being obsessively party-political, should the voice not rather be focusing on which basic political ideology it promotes - humanitarian or authoritarian?

obamacare - the corporate smokescreen for slaughter said...

@socialism does not have a monopoly on fighting injustice

yeah, is it the voice on-line or the voice in-line? i appreciate that, for reasons of historic and current-day repression, that the voice might wish to pursue an anti-british-establishment agenda, but is this truly served by supporting other repressive régimes such as we now see in the united states and scotland?

on the evidence of the perpetually sanctioned police executions of unarmed black american citizens in the united states, i would deduce that the obama administration has nothing to do with the promotion of human-rights and everything to do with control and civic-repression.

unfortunately, black-american christians cheered obama into power and then continued to cheer him on, unrestrained, as his troops slaughtered thousands of unarmed muslim civilians in the middle-east, however only towards the end of the president's wasted and repressive eight-year term in office, when these same black-american citizens finally realized that obama was still unashamedly allowing the relentless weapons of authority to be turned on themselves, did the presidentially-embarrassing civil-unrest and belated criticism of obama's white house administration begin.

it is a great pity that american citizens did not stick the intellectual and moral boot of criticism into obama right from his very inauguration, because then and only then might some real humanitarian results have possibly been extracted from this once-in-a-generation black opportunity - which to be fair has now degenerated into a giant black-hole of opportunity...

...and on the plus-side of the political balance-sheet, who do you reckon profits more from obamacare and its increasingly inflated premiums - dead black americans, or obama's rich white buddies controlling the insurance companies?

work it out man.

obama - the witch messiah said...

ok folks...

...given the disproportionate number of unarmed black americans being gunned down by our police on the street, i propose that we equalize the score by blowing away significantly more unarmed white, asian and hispanic americans as they go about their lawful business...

...so don't go saying i'm not a fair-minded guy...

...or i'll waste you too man.

@the dark side of scottish nationalism

first, on behalf of the voice on-line, i would like to inform the spark up! readership that one of the voice's celebrity-writers has in fact mentioned the death in custody of sheku bayoh, and that the highly-honoured journo in question - with whom, i should add, i have absolutely no personal connection myself what-so-ever - has now, albeit a bit belatedly and begrudgingly, buried mr bayoh's name, with the deepest of respect, somewhere near the bottom of this internationally-breaking story, on 31.05.2015 at 2.00pm, i believe.

so there - with knobs on.

@socialism does not have a monopoly on fighting injustice

"moreover, despite obama's appalling war-mongering in africa and the middle-east, the voice on-line is very pro the current white house administration, which wishes to see the united kingdom neatly locked-into and controlled by the european union - so i imagine that the voice on-line's editorship is under strict instruction from its democrat masters in washington to support the scottish national party against the supposed threat of conservative euro-scepticism."

ooooh...yes i know...kissing obama's cutely compact and conservative little arse is just soooooooooo last decade...

...but well...you see...a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

general ding-dong said...

my good god, because of tony blair's new-labour and his botched-up iraq-sore legacy, there's full-blooded open warfare in the labour-party right now...and the conservatives are quite sensibly keeping their heads down...

...except for one daft demented old duffer-in-chief, who, just the other day, popped out of his fur-lined country fox-hole in order to expound upon his belief, in all senile sincerity, that our strapping young soldier-lads should re-invade iraq pronto-like...and who has hopefully since been taken out the back and had what's left of his decomposing brain humanely decommissioned with a howitzer...although frankly, i admit a more likely scenario is that the witless wunderkind-warriors in whitehall have already given the show the go-ahead, and put the dozy great degenerating bugger in charge of it, to boot...

...terrible idea, of course - the iraqi desert's far too hot-'n-sticky at this time-of-year...

...however, my own plan's much more viable...

...so come on now chaps: ditch your motorized wheel-chairs, jump in your chieftains, and set your tom-toms on a direct-bearing for moscow.

oh, nice one charlie - twelve years ago, the only major-party-leader in parliament to oppose the neolithic new-labour designed genocide in the middle-east...

...i hear the hungover-highlander swigged himself to an untimely death and forced doolalistare dumbbell, the tartan toe-nail, who was chief-promoter-cum-window-dresser for the illegal iraq-war, to come on telly in hypocritical tribute and look a complete king-sized child-murdering cunt...along of course with co-war-criminal tony blair, who for once, i'm relieved to say, was simply too coy to comment on-air and couldn't face the camera, the cashed-in country-housed coward.

red? how do you dare? said...

@socialism does not have a monopoly on fighting injustice

i wouldn't describe the voice as a socialist paper.

the voice on-line and the voice newspaper are owned by the jamaica-based gleaner company ltd, which supports the conservative jamaica labour party; the gleaner company was founded in 1834 by jamaican-born jacob de cordova, who moved to texas in 1839, where he became a very wealthy landowner and politician.

the jamaica labour party is very pro-us and has members, such as david panton, a former senator in the jamaican parliament, who have strong links with the united states republican party. as a close friend, david panton is supporting the candidacy of ultra-right-wing texan, ted cruz, in the race for president of the usa.

the jamaican labour party lost power in 2012 - possibly because it allowed the white house administration to directly dictate domestic jamaican policy over the 'dudus' affair in 2010, when at least 76 people were killed in kingston, jamaica, during the arrest of christopher coke on united states drug-trafficking charges.

the jamaica labour party has ties to the jamaican labour movement and could reasonably be compared to tony blair's 'new labour' in the united kingdom.

lester holloway, the author of the voice on-line article to which commenter, general obamacell, referred on 4 june 2015 at 21:08, is a former liberal democrat councillor, who originated as a labour councillor in the 1990s.

although i agree it is a deeply worrying sign that the voice, britain's favourite black newspaper, is so keen to support the political parties and organizations of repression - such as the scottish national party, new labour, the africa-subjugating european union, and the united states government - i do not believe any of these extremist political entities to be strictly socialist in their outlook.

(socialism forces people to be equal or 'free', whilst conservatism allows people to free themselves - yet both the british labour and conservative parties are formed of pure ideological hypocrites, who actually only serve to 'free' a limited privileged elite - their own friends)

however, i can certainly confirm that all politicians and political parties are rogues, and that all rogues lead to 'rome'.

@general ding-dong

derrr-uhhh...in order to defeat terrorism, why don't we do exactly what caused the anti-western terrorism in the first place - ya, let's terrorize the middle-east, ok?

naturally, it is of vital national importance that cash-strapped british citizens may have the ultra-absurd confidence to take dirt-cheap all-inclusive breaks in the african lion's mouth - because after all, this gives great cover for our tunisian-based intelligence operatives in mi6, who are busy plotting and spying against libya, from the beach.

in my former capacity as the duly elected member of parliament for lymington (1832), i am of the firm view that white people in the united states of america still regard blacks as runaway slaves...

@john stewart - britain's first ever ethnic minority member of parliament

generally speaking, since the election of barack obama as president of the united states of america, i have lost all respect for black people and their politicians - purely because so many black people, especially those from the middle-classes, have cynically sold-out by supporting the fascist neo-colonial genocide orchestrated by the white western political hegemony.
