/&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lady diana dubble-dollop wanted to say:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hi guys, thanks for the expenses - it means i've been able to pay-off my coco-slate and have just taken delivery of a fresh tanker-load.  it's top grade shit - i gave the driver a 'nice big tip' and in return he saw his way clear to giving &lt;strong&gt;moi&lt;/strong&gt; an extra big squirt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway...i'm not quite sure why &lt;strong&gt;red edit&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;kenny wadisa&lt;/strong&gt; are using &lt;strong&gt;down the mineshaft's&lt;/strong&gt; screen-account?  but obviously we &lt;strong&gt;cia&lt;/strong&gt; brethren can do any damn baamba shite-jinks we like, so why not, hey?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh, eddy baby...methinks he doth protest too much, don't ya?  he's a great sport tho' and i've always had a soft-and-soggy centre for him since the day i 'took him under my wing' whilst teaching elementary bull-shitting at &lt;strong&gt;rada&lt;/strong&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and well, really...may i say that i feel most insulted by &lt;strong&gt;rab's&lt;/strong&gt; tea-lady remark - i'll have him know that i gained my twilight position in a dodgy-corner of the shadow-cabinet on merit alone...it's got nothink to-do with any sort of racial discrimination, positive discrimination, or the fact i've got both eds' balls in a digitally-recorded vice (comprising a bedful of busty bountiful bouncing bajun babes) which they don't wan't their err...paler partners to know anythink about...no, not at all...i provide the shadow-ministers of the shadow-cabinet with an invaluable service...be sensible now, who else could source, for members of a future british government, such high-quality ganj...err...i mean &lt;strong&gt;cannabis sativa&lt;/strong&gt; (strictly for medicinal use in the &lt;strong&gt;nhs&lt;/strong&gt;, naturally...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...and what's all this nonsense about &lt;strong&gt;black cabs&lt;/strong&gt;...i have no problem getting black cabs...all cabbies luv me man...i just have to abide by certain local by-laws (quite similar to those to which i am subject in cabinet, actually)...i don't think it necessary to go into unseemly detail...but suffice to say that the provision of a re-inforced rum-truffle-flavoured-gag shows just how far this country has progressed since the harsh days of slavery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...mmm...and what was the original topic...oh ya, good heavens, you just can't say anything thesedays, can you?  you know, if i'd said that white people are all lovely and yummy and their men all have huge great knock-out willies, we wouldn't be having this discussion, now would we, darling?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

implosion</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://musterhairstraightener.tk/tottenham-riots%E2%80%A62011/"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; is what you get when the constabulary cross-over into the arts and media - a superintended sketch of death and destruction, hardly a picasso tho'...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...obviously rustled-up by someone a bit lower down the bill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so what happened?  did the victim shoot first?  did he shoot second?  did he shoot at all?  did he panic and give police marksmen an excuse to execute him?  did he need to give them an excuse?  did the police make their own excuses (as &lt;i&gt;per&lt;/i&gt; standard operational procedure)?  we outsiders may never know, now that the independent police complaints commission are in charge of the show.  however, i reckon it's fair to say that a young man black-enough to receive a free-and-obligatory state education in police-hatred was hunted-down and rapidly reformed by politically-correct gunmen with much bigger bang-bangs than the pop-stick they already knew &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;he&lt;/span&gt; had in his possession.  maybe friends of the authorities put the weapon into circulation with a complimentary tracker included?  who knows?  nevertheless, it's worth noting that, historically, only officials of white governments are permitted to shoot-first in self-defence - just as they have done in iraq, afghanistan, libya...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and so what happened next?  well, that's a whole load simpler to explain:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this smacks of a racially-righteous revenge hit against left-wing-backed gangster-tappers suspected of getting the goods on the metropolitan's media-mafia front-man murdoch - a shell-shock-case of the authorities jumping the gun on the re-introduction of capital punishment.  yet the trouble is...(and here i attempt to balance the book of badness, in the interests of social justice)...many of the inner-city gang-members, who will, from force-of-habit, guarantee the common-man a life of misery, anywhere the boys of the big-blue-babylon posse fail to deliver it first, are in fact &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;themselves&lt;/span&gt; natural-born hangers-and-floggers.  yes, it's no great secret: our beloved gangs are engaged in a continual turf-war with the copper-crew for civic customers (to subjugate) - their members budding enforcers of their own gang-culture and regulations, wannabee busies, if you like...and here, notwithstanding the rights-and-wrongs of this individual killing, is where the opinion of the ordinary citizen drifts unconsciously towards the territorial waters where one views such events as 'gangsters fighting gansters'...and not giving a hoot unless non-combatants, women, or children are caught in the cross-fire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(i feel similarly about the deep electronic eavesdropping, computer-hacking and surveillance to which we are now accustomed to being subjected as a matter of course.  the politicians use the police, the press, and underworld gangs to gain intelligence, but naturally these prolific press-gangs have a proclivity to spy-back on their political and business masters, and each other, for 'insurance purposes', in other words, blackmail opportunities, and to satisfy their craving for staving-off a collectively cool paranoia - i don't condone it, i wouldn't wish to encourage the practice of snooping any more than i'd want to encourage a person to smoke, it's emotionally unhealthy, but only for them...unless, that is, they target non-players, like myself, and casually try to intimidate with intimate insinuation...there again, i suppose, it's only detrimental if one is insufficiently strong, psychologically, to resist the temptation to partake in the hacking habit oneself.  i guess it's the same all-over the country, we are bound to meet the politically-backed-up big-gang-leader who boldly slips us the sly suggestion of what he knows about our activities and hints at how he is empowered by his unassailable ideological beliefs to bully us, whilst, in the very same breath expounding upon the catalogue of his utterly altruistic actions and his consumately charitable character.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway, the right-wing press (rather suspiciously) fell over themselves in their hasty glee to promulgate an eye-witness account of the victim being pinned to the ground and then shot in the head by law-officers - and the quote was subsequently picked-up and swiftly disseminated by left-wing activists and other agent-provocateurs in order to rack-up tensions.  far from being unaware of the organized violence being planned against them, the policemen, having deliberately planted a couple of tactically positioned panda-cars nearby as inviting bait, proceeded to frustrate the peaceful protest-march with an arrogant lack of acknowledgement, and finally signalled authorization for the riot by gang-truncheoning a mouthy teenage girl, who chucked an unidentified flimsy object at them.  next, enraged socialist-gangs went into overdrive and descended upon the billeaguered neighbourhood from all-around london, trashing, looting and torching private premises, commercial and domestic alike - beating-up anyone seen co-operating with the fire-fighters - and the officers of natural-law just stood back and let the community give itself a bloody-good hiding.  as usual, we have been privileged to observe the spectacle of police and community movers-and-shakers working in perfect choreographed disharmony to produce a slickly staged scene of carnage.  when will these guys ever realize that they have been systematically infiltrated and set-up?  did they &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;really&lt;/span&gt; think that this was the appropriate manner to mark the death of a respected 'community elder'.  no wonder david lammy looked mortally embarrassed about his own christian-gangsters vandalizing his parliamentary consituency - divine retribution for him backing the bush and obama administrations' carpet-bombing of muslim communities in the middle east, methinks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;of course, i could be reading this all wrong, as there are claims by some rioters that they were incited to rebellion by a revolutionary polar bear who ate an eton schoolboy in retaliation for the recent massacre by a right-wing extremist of young socialists in oslo; the arctic mauling was a quite horrendous incident and i convey my sincerest condolences to the student's family - it is just so terribly tragic, if there were a god, he would surely have instead arranged for david cameron to have completed his expensive education thus.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

cultures of foreign nations in order to precipitate mass immigration, which in turn provides an ever-brimming pool of cheap labour - the following comment, by &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;ghostofnursetwatitch&lt;/span&gt;, was deleted by &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;the guardian&lt;/span&gt; from its discussion thread on an article entitled &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2011/jun/04/pm-nick-clegg-muslim-extremists?commentpage=all#start-of-commentshttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;pm wins row with nick clegg over crackdown on muslim extremists&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;imagine a &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;status quo&lt;/span&gt; where no ideologically motivated religious or political group (including imperialists like the conservatives, autocrats like the liberals, authoritarians like the labour party, fascists like gizmogizmo, and pompous prats like alpussdredger) could ever gain power and control, manipulate and exploit people...what a wonderful world that would be.  it's not about changing our laws to accommodate other cultures (although ideally we would be grown-up enough live without laws, or at least have laws which do not infringe on citizens' personal freedoms), it's about not invading foreign lands and &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;destroying&lt;/span&gt; other people's cultures - and so forcing them to immigrate here in order to make a living.  if foreigners' homelands provided settled and stable environments in which to raise families, and they were not forced to enter this country for financial or security reasons, i am sure that immigration would be much reduced, and that the few who &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;did choose&lt;/span&gt; to travel here would not feel that the united kingdom owed them any favours.  we need a world under the reign of common-sense, really speaking - and of course, as a former nhs matron, i would be delighted to organize such libertarian utopia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

by &lt;em&gt;nursetwatitch&lt;/em&gt; was deleted by &lt;em&gt;the guardian&lt;/em&gt; from its discussion thread on an article entitled &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/mar/27/observer-debate-intervention-libya-yes-no?commentpage=all"&gt;libya. the observer debate: is it right to be intervening in libya's struggle for freedom?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;now, you might think that, as a true-blue babe of the women's institute, i would be backing prime minister davey dachshund's intervention in libya to the hilt of my sawn-off rolling-pin, but in fact i'm &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; - because i have detected, through the good orifices of the women's intelligence service, that he's fallen under the wicked unwomanitarian spell of president obama's shirty dirty conniving co...pardon, i mean...secretary, the arch-feminist, countess hillary clintwood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i quite agree with mr dennis j kucinich, the dates of the planned military manoeuvres, code-named, operation &lt;strong&gt;southern mistral&lt;/strong&gt;, are &lt;strong&gt;far&lt;/strong&gt; too convenient to be true - and, suspiciously, have coincided &lt;strong&gt;exactly&lt;/strong&gt; with the onset of the &lt;strong&gt;united nations'&lt;/strong&gt; armed intervention.  another 'strange coincidence' is that the &lt;strong&gt;mistral&lt;/strong&gt; is a french wind which derives its name from the word meaning "masterly" in the languedoc dialect of the provençal language (although &lt;strong&gt;i&lt;/strong&gt; tend to think of it as french guff, like all the pro-war propoganda we've been receiving on the radio), and it will come as no surprise, to more discerning readers, to learn that the &lt;strong&gt;mistral&lt;/strong&gt; is a cold dry north-to-south-oriented draft which fans ferocious forest- and crop-fires - indeed its force can even be felt as &lt;strong&gt;far&lt;/strong&gt; south as the north african coastline...reckon all this is far-fetched?  well, listen-to-mummy: the &lt;strong&gt;mistral&lt;/strong&gt; was also a french express-train which used to run on the paris-nice &lt;strong&gt;railroad&lt;/strong&gt;...and now i believe you brain-stormed bbc scoffers are beginning to get my &lt;strong&gt;drift&lt;/strong&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so put all of this together with &lt;strong&gt;the fact that&lt;/strong&gt; the united states have urged the military of an effectively ungoverned egypt to supply the rebels with arms, &lt;strong&gt;the fact that&lt;/strong&gt; the uprising happened right-on-time, &lt;strong&gt;the fact that&lt;/strong&gt; potential candidates for the rebel leadership comprise westernized libyan dissidents, &lt;strong&gt;the fact that&lt;/strong&gt; commentators on these pages have all but uncovered &lt;strong&gt;cia&lt;/strong&gt; inflammation of the original unrest, the fact that the western coalition is weighing in heavily to make this fabricated french &lt;strong&gt;coup&lt;/strong&gt; viable, &lt;strong&gt;the fact that&lt;/strong&gt; the western nations have acted inconsistently by ignoring the plight of &lt;strong&gt;other&lt;/strong&gt; democratic revolutions in the arab region, &lt;strong&gt;the fact that&lt;/strong&gt; mi5 has hedged its bets by covertly grooming saif gaddafi to be the next (more liberal) libyan president, &lt;strong&gt;the fact that&lt;/strong&gt; saif gaddafi is now attempting to cut a deal with the united nations, and the fact that colonel gaddafi is now being painted once more (after a brief kissy-kissy interlude with tony blair) as the terrorist-king...and any damn fool (even me) can clock that this is a cynically staged-war for the exclusive benefit of western oil-craving economies...perhaps western intelligences agencies even promised gadaffi that they would stir-up the latent rebellion specifically for him to quash...the west have &lt;strong&gt;definitely&lt;/strong&gt; been playing &lt;strong&gt;all&lt;/strong&gt; sides here...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...and, by the way, i see that my editor-in-chief, mr al pussdredger, has been pushing the loyalist line that the tokyo earthquake was, in reality, a pre-meditated strike by anti-western forces aligned with gaddafi, but this is totally &lt;strong&gt;untrue&lt;/strong&gt; - the tragic honshu island atrocity (as the intelligence agency of every major power already knows) was a false-flag operation which was carried-out, with the full provocation of the &lt;strong&gt;cia&lt;/strong&gt;, by &lt;strong&gt;supposedly&lt;/strong&gt; anti-western elements completely &lt;strong&gt;unaligned&lt;/strong&gt; with president gaddafi - and he will soon be smeared by a tumultuous &lt;strong&gt;tsunami&lt;/strong&gt; of media-detonated terror-talk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;although i realize that the western alliance is now fighting to defend the lives of civilians which their own devious underhand actions have put in peril, although (when not disinfecting the dirty talk around here) i'm an unemployed medical professional, and although i'm none too pleased about the exquisite collection of wives and 'nurses' which the colonel has amassed, i &lt;strong&gt;really cannot&lt;/strong&gt; comtemplate support for this violent interference into private african affairs and politics - many lives are being cut short and devastated, and i just &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; need work &lt;strong&gt;that&lt;/strong&gt; badly.  surely, to ensure altruism, there should be a clause in any united nations resolution which prevents combatant intervening nations from benefiting from future oil, or other, dealings - now &lt;strong&gt;that&lt;/strong&gt; would sort the prospectors from the protectors, wouldn't it?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div

type='text'>clipped words</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;the following two comments (by alpussdredger) were deleted (by mi5) from &lt;em&gt;the guardian&lt;/em&gt; article, &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/mar/17/libya-united-nations-air-strikes-live?commentpage=all#start-of-comments"&gt;&lt;em&gt;libya resolution: un security council air strikes vote - as it happened&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;the tokyo earthquake was an attack by elements aligned with gaddafi - either anti-western forces or criminals attempting to rig-up oil prices and manipulate stock prices by precipitating nuclear havoc and war.  the japanese disaster was triggered by drilling into the subduction-zone, nuclear detonation, and the deliberate introduction of sea-water, which caused massive adiabatic decompression leading to rock-melt in the surrounding geological fault.  haiti and christchurch could have been test runs, and the gulf of mexico oil-spill a similar act of sabotage.  every capital city, international stock-market, and tectonically-exposed conurbation in the pro-american &lt;strong&gt;diaspora&lt;/strong&gt; is now under threat at any time - and the 2012 london olympics is a certainty for a strike.  western governments are aware of this situation, and know that they are being held to ransom, yet they still jump to intervene in the affairs of other nations despite further aggravating the risk of abysmal world-war - by continuing to exercize the policy of control, exploitation and oppression which has historically made the west the coalition of enemies we see arrayed against it today.  i am no supporter of despots such as gaddafi, but occupation of libya by foreign forces will not resolve the problem of this country's pre-disposal to being ruled by suppression - the people must effect this change themselves if the solution is to be a lasting one leading to a strong independent african nation, otherwise libyans will simply fall prey to some other parasitic potentate, or the sort of carnivorous cartel under which we suffer in the western-bloc.  in fact any oppressed state in the world, which wishes to escape the cruel and abusive clutch of the vice in which it is gripped, must beware that it does not rush and fall into the octopus arms of another superimposed-power on the rebound, in an unfree trade-off - the relationship will not work out, as the 'new love' will inevitably exploit the reverse-revenge race-hatred which has been brewed in the enslaved people's hearts by the original man-hater, and will continue to crush them.  i wish freedom upon those libyan individuals who seek it, but i fear that no government or political party will ever provide it.  in any case, regardless of external influence, gaddafi has fatally undermined himself by killing his own countrymen, and brings about his own self-destruction inexorably nearer with every life he wastes - the rot has set-in.  i am loathe to provide the information which is contained in this comment-post, since i am sure that pernicious protection racketeers are seeking to set me up as conduit of terror.  the souls devastated in the catastrophic attacks on the twin-towers, new york, and on honshu island, japan, may, to some surviving victims of generational genocide, seem numerically insignificant in comparison to the tens and hundreds of millions slaughtered in the name of greed and power by the destructive dynasties of western nations and their supporters - but malevolently motivated mass-murder is still, and always will be, &lt;strong&gt;wrong&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;@alpussdredger &lt;br /&gt;18 march 2011 1:07am&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and it is entirely possible, of course, that unscrupulous and wicked individuals within and affiliated to the international hierarchy (including libya) have stirred-up and staged this and other conflicts for personal profit and power.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this comment (on the same thread) has not as yet been deleted by mi5, but is meaningless without reference to the previous ones:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;@alpussdredger &lt;br /&gt;18 march 2011 1:24am&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...namely by manipulating the prices of oil, other commodities, and stocks. now we must all pray that this intervention is predominately humanitarian and does not become a commercial venture. one can only hope.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div

type='text'>why i will not be attending notting hill carnival 2011</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt; this year, i intend to avoid the annual notting hill carnival due to the presence of the following groups:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a) &lt;em&gt;stupid white people&lt;/em&gt;: by which i mean the metropolitan police, who flock to this event each summer, irresistably attracted by the opportunity to provoke disturbances and engage in a spot of state-sponsored wog-bashing, on overtime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b) &lt;em&gt;stupid black people&lt;/em&gt;: by which i mean the community leaders who organize carnival and who always sanction a cop-shackled celebration of afro-caribbean culture, instead of standing on principle by cancelling carnival until such time as the police learn to attend the festivities as public &lt;em&gt;servants&lt;/em&gt;, and not mob-handed serf-&lt;em&gt;masters&lt;/em&gt; - the prevalence of this situation essentially being due to the fact that community leaders' favourite carnival sound is the ching-ca-ching-ca-ching of choked-up carnival cash-tills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;currently, carnival is no more than a cynically cordoned-off conflict-zone, meticulously organized by the london security authorities, in close collaboration with their corrupt counterparts in the local communities - their motto seems to be: &lt;em&gt;why have a fiesta, when we can stage a fight?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

&lt;strong&gt;oubliette&lt;/strong&gt;, who's gonna stroke his lab-rat-gerbil &lt;strong&gt;guido fawkes&lt;/strong&gt;?  who's gonna take over day-to-day management of his cult spy-network of hackers, blackmailers, fraudsters and snoops?  and when they want to carry out surveillance and suppression of political dissenters...who are the labour party &lt;strong&gt;quasi-stasi&lt;/strong&gt;

god, it makes me sick to see rusbridger acting all innocent on &lt;strong&gt;channel 4&lt;/strong&gt; - talking about people hacking into voicemails, when half the bloody country knows that there's industrial phone-&lt;strong&gt;tapping&lt;/strong&gt; going on...and that personal mobile phones are being hacked into &lt;strong&gt;via&lt;/strong&gt; their software and the microphones are being switched-on to turn them into 24-hour eavesdrops and tracking-devices.  no mobile-broadband or phone network is secure these days - all the signals and lines are being intercepted and information being sold-on, it's bloody obvious.  our own personal computers are being turned against us by commercial hackers and private investigators in the media and political spheres...micro-light digital surveillance equipment is being tossed around like &lt;strong&gt;confetti&lt;/strong&gt; in public places and private premises and left to keep watch for the people who planted it.  it's big business, by faceless crooks - and yet rusbridger pretends to nothing about it...but i bet many of his interns and editorial staff know the score...not to mention his mates in the labour party.  and i wonder why ed miliband isn't making a big deal out of the coulson affair?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hey &lt;strong&gt;guardian&lt;/strong&gt;...how about an erotic &lt;strong&gt;exposé&lt;/strong&gt; of the dirty voyeuristic secrets which are being concealed behind the un-netted curtains of the paranoid power-freaks of middle-class suburbia?  you make me wanna puke rusbridger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ask &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/discussion/user/sparkup"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;spark up&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; - he's an independent politically unpaid un-aligned writer and he's really friggin' hacked-off by the continual intrusive pscho-ops being arrogantly perpetrated by party-political sychophants and parasites.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my own reply to the above comment was also deleted:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;@jocelynjackesien &lt;br /&gt;9 february 2011 11:23pm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well thank you, ms jack esien - it's great that we can overlook petty philosophical differences on &lt;strong&gt;feminism&lt;/strong&gt; and agree on &lt;strong&gt;something&lt;/strong&gt;, for a change.  god, don't you just want to turn off the telly when barbie doll blofeld and his oily lawyers open their whining mouths.  i've had to resort to posting on this integrity free-dump because of fanatical labour-government-friendly deletions on places like &lt;strong&gt;guido fawkes&lt;/strong&gt;, because of electorally convenient temporary erasures on &lt;strong&gt;old holborn&lt;/strong&gt; (favouring prominent socialist members of parliament and a certain incumbent american president), and because of left-wing sensitive deletions on &lt;strong&gt;captain ranty&lt;/strong&gt; which were closely followed by hacker deletions &lt;strong&gt;on my own blog&lt;/strong&gt; (these occurring after i had the temerity to criticize assange's associates there).  what a protection racket politics is, eh?  i've even had my material purloined by a &lt;strong&gt;guido fawkes&lt;/strong&gt; associate only to see it turn-up on a solo-comedian's bbc sketch show...uncredited...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i can only guess that editors on &lt;em&gt;the guardian&lt;/em&gt; have personal connections with the &lt;em&gt;captain ranty&lt;/em&gt; blog, the &lt;em&gt;old holborn&lt;/em&gt; blog, the &lt;em&gt;guido fawkes&lt;/em&gt; blog, or with julian assange's &lt;em&gt;anonymous&lt;/em&gt; hacker friends - and that they wish to cover-up the criminal hacking of comments from the &lt;em&gt;spark up!&lt;/em&gt; blog.  some moderators on the &lt;em&gt;comment is free&lt;/em&gt; (&lt;em&gt;guardian&lt;/em&gt;) site also clearly have connections with mainstream socialist political parties and could be receiving inducement in return for deleting dissenting views - there is also the possibility that the saltier deletions are being siphoned-off for use by commercial comedians.  the upshot is that &lt;em&gt;jocelynjackesien's&lt;/em&gt; account has been withdrawn by &lt;em&gt;comment is free&lt;/em&gt; and my own &lt;em&gt;sparkup&lt;/em&gt; account is now being pre-moderated and is effectively disabled.  i fear that &lt;em&gt;the guardian's&lt;/em&gt; disregard for freedom of expression will ultimately bring about their comment website's demise following an undignified trajectory which terminates in the &lt;em&gt;aol&lt;/em&gt; recycle-bin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>curtailed words: suzanne moore forecloses guardian comment section in furious femino-fascist damage-limitation exercize</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;the following post, drafted in response to a &lt;em&gt;guardian&lt;/em&gt; article by suzanne moore entitled &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/jan/15/suzanne-moore-time-to-get-angry"&gt;&lt;em&gt;it's time to get angry - all this polite and smiley feminism is getting us nowhere&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, was proscribed by the aforementioned publication's prepubescent editorial staff:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;within the isolated context of a sexual (and therefore interdependent) relationship, issues of &lt;strong&gt;sexism&lt;/strong&gt; can be resolved if the footing of the relationship is positive - but if the balance of relations is bilaterally shipping negative-equity, the situation can only be resolved by one party admitting aggrievement and launching the lifeboat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;feminism&lt;/strong&gt;, as a movement, is purely a revengeful reaction to a socially-entrenched male sexist conspiracy (or so i'm led to understand), and, as such, has defeated itself from the outset by adopting identical macho gang-tactics - much in the same way as black-power activists have sought to combat white &lt;strong&gt;racism&lt;/strong&gt; by organizing themselves in mimical accordance with the structurality of the white hegemony, instead of taking a more individualistic or culturally-integral approach.  in the workplace, feminists waste their time attempting to counter the self-shackling sexist 'slavery' of employment by means of legal redress-mechanisms established (or should i say granted?) by males, when they could simply subvert institutional sexism by choosing self-employment - but, of course, the &lt;i&gt;promotion&lt;/i&gt; of self-employment would not only emancipate &lt;strong&gt;women&lt;/strong&gt;, and effectively do whingeing writers like ms moore out of a self-perpetuating and profitably parasitic job, but would have the somewhat unwelcome side-effect of liberating those awful &lt;strong&gt;men&lt;/strong&gt; aswell...and we couldn't have &lt;strong&gt;that&lt;/strong&gt;, now could we?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;overreaction to injustice by discrimination against an entire social grouping is normal, although ultimately immature, human behaviour which is expediently employed as an emergency safety-measure - yet surely it is preferable to neutralize oppression by arranging one's life in such a manner as to avoid 'doing business' with identified oppressors, unless, of course, it's in one's own interests and on one's own terms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as for the question of a curfew on bristol city, i regard this suggestion as highly illiberal and a rampantly retrogressive restriction of personal and sexual freedom - and &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; a sensible solution &lt;strong&gt;at all&lt;/strong&gt;.  clearly, since the female sex is naturally loaded with the immense responsibility of bearing &lt;strong&gt;children&lt;/strong&gt;, the law of this country should be prejudicially amended in order that our females are &lt;strong&gt;also&lt;/strong&gt; permitted to bear &lt;strong&gt;arms&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;boom boom baby&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div

seems a &lt;em&gt;bit rich&lt;/em&gt; of president nicolas sarkozy to automatically define the kidnappers as "al qaeda" - even &lt;em&gt;wikipedia&lt;/em&gt; describes &lt;em&gt;&lt;a

militia to which the french authorities &lt;em&gt;claim&lt;/em&gt; the bandits &lt;em&gt;may possibly&lt;/em&gt; have been affiliated, as: "commonly believed to be a false flag operation created by the algerian state intelligence agency" ie. either it has been termed &lt;em&gt;al qaeda&lt;/em&gt; to gain the algerian government american support, or it has been radicalized by united states military intervention, such as the &lt;em&gt;flintlock 2005&lt;/em&gt; exercize, in a similar manner to which &lt;em&gt;al-shabaab&lt;/em&gt; has been radicalized by fanatical-western intervention in somalia.  so...given that &lt;em&gt;aqim&lt;/em&gt; are known to be ideologically opposed to the slaughter of civilians, might it &lt;em&gt;just be possible&lt;/em&gt;, mr sarkozy, that these unfortunate aid workers were killed by local nigerien gangsters, who not only resent the discriminatory treatment of muslims in mainland france, but also the pervasive persistence of french colonial rule in francophone africa over fifty years after the murky grey dawn of its supposed independence?  after all, it's not only &lt;em&gt;islamic extremists&lt;/em&gt; who hate you bunch of gallic

away from the missus for the weekend, get pissed-up in an expensive western hotel, and explore the possibilities of more amicable relations with ivorean chambermaids - all paid-for by the presidents of the united states of america, france, and several oil companies of unafrican origin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as for the side-issue of the national election, this is a piece of toffee:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;provide each adult ivorean citizen with one &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;hershey bar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and one &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;mars bar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - if the citizen prefers gbagbo as president, then he (or she) should leave the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;mars bar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in the courtyard of monsieur gbagbo's official residence, and if the citizen would prefer to elect ouattara as president, then he (or she) should leave the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;hershey bar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in front of the hotel occupied by monsieur ouattara.  on completion of voting, each citizen should consume his (or her) remaining candy-bar in order to ensure a totally secret ballot in accordance with recognized international electoral procedure - and, finally, when the two polling stations are closed, each presidential candidate should scoff &lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; chocolate bars cast before his personal place of abode.  if either candidate should be observed either failing to ingest his full allocation of confectionery, or in any way attempting to encourage one of his deputies, or deputies' children, to nosh any portion of the aforesaid block of votes on his behalf, then that candidate shall be deemed in breach of electoral rules and shall be disqualified forthwith, forfeiting the said election without further formality.  pursuant to both presidential candidates completing the ballot count, the duly appointed returning officer for &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;toblerone&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;em&gt;our governments&lt;/em&gt; exercize the right to control, tax, and snoop on &lt;em&gt;us&lt;/em&gt;, as private citizens, it follows that &lt;em&gt;we&lt;/em&gt;, as individuals, have every right to obtain knowledge of actions taken by &lt;em&gt;our states&lt;/em&gt; in &lt;em&gt;our name&lt;/em&gt;.  after all...it's not as if we can trust them, is it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;however...in the (rape) case of julian assange &lt;em&gt;versus&lt;/em&gt; the state of sweden, we must be clear that the defendant and his accusers are all acting as &lt;em&gt;individuals&lt;/em&gt;, and that this is a &lt;em&gt;personal&lt;/em&gt; matter - yet it appears that the defining lines between the &lt;em&gt;state&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;individual&lt;/em&gt; have become unhealthily blurred.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i am convinced that the defence team for mr assange (the founder of &lt;em&gt;wikileaks&lt;/em&gt;) has made a serious miscalculation in crying 'political' (ie state), given that the case has arisen from extremely &lt;em&gt;personal&lt;/em&gt; incidents involving &lt;em&gt;individuals&lt;/em&gt; - if mr assange believes that this is a 'political' prosecution, then he must therefore believe that he &lt;em&gt;himself&lt;/em&gt; is a &lt;em&gt;political&lt;/em&gt; figure with &lt;em&gt;political&lt;/em&gt; power akin to the power invested in the representative of a &lt;em&gt;state&lt;/em&gt;.  the fact that the work undertaken by his organization may have &lt;em&gt;political&lt;/em&gt; implications is irrelevant here - unless he also claims that he consented to engage in a &lt;em&gt;political&lt;/em&gt; fuck.  i appreciate that mr assange's lawyers are attempting to stave-off the strong possibility of a politically motivated extradition attempt by the united states (in relation to his actions in his capacity as the head of wikileaks), but this is a separate matter (which involves many other protagonists), and should be treated as such - lest mr assange and his team wish to be tarred by the same accusations which they level at the state prosecutors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in essence, mr assange has got himself into some trouble with two women who may, or may not, be proven to be scorned-and-vindictive lovers cynically taking advantage of sweden's peculiarly tight sex-laws and the super-sleuth's subconscious hankering for established political status - but he must deal with this situation as a fallible human individual, and &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; as an irreproachable infallible all-powerful political figurehead of the type which he professes to expose and discredit through his work.  julian assange is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; helping his case, nor endearing himself to supporters, by threatening, in the manner of a blackmailer, to make further damaging revelations in the event that action is taken against him - surely these revelations should be made &lt;em&gt;regardless&lt;/em&gt; of third party actions, and without further ado, that is his job, and one for which he is admired.  if the united states administration seeks to take advantage of the swedish prosecution in order to extradite mr assange, it is &lt;em&gt;they&lt;/em&gt; who will lose the political initiative - and even more political standing than they already have done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by intimidating companies which have elected &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; to do business with &lt;em&gt;wikileaks&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;operation payback&lt;/em&gt; (which is being conducted by the group known as &lt;em&gt;anonymous&lt;/em&gt;) is, by association, &lt;em&gt;also&lt;/em&gt; damaging the reputation of mr assange, not to mention the prospects of the entire &lt;em&gt;wikileaks&lt;/em&gt; venture - for the ideology of freedom is absolutely and irreparably undermined by attempting to coerce other self-governing organizations to support one's own cause; any private sector business ultimately has the right to chose its customers - herein is enshrined the concept known as &lt;em&gt;liberty&lt;/em&gt; - and contractual disputes must be resolved in time-honoured fashion.  the companies whom &lt;em&gt;anonymous&lt;/em&gt; is targeting do not &lt;em&gt;force&lt;/em&gt; any individual or organization to make use of their services, and, &lt;em&gt;ipso facto&lt;/em&gt;, it is wholly immoral to gang up against and &lt;em&gt;force&lt;/em&gt; such companies to serve any particular individual or organization, even though one's oppressor may be doing &lt;em&gt;exactly that&lt;/em&gt; - those who use their power to bully others in this fashion are, by definition, no better than the fascist states which they claim to wish to depose.  to undermine an authoritarian state is vital, but to replace it with a totalitarian one is fatal.  to replace fear with fear is revolting, to replace the ideology of fear refreshing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so it seems that julian assange wants to be a pop-star and politician all at the same time - but he can't, because the concept of each degrades the other.  he's got to choose.  the politician must have impeccable integrity and avoid sleeping with anarchists - otherwise no-one will grant him power and status; the pop-star must break every rule and never sleep within the boundaries of established society - otherwise he will not garner fame and fortune.  contradictorily, the famous anarchist, julian assange, has been sleeping with the social-establishment and yet desires power - and he has now landed in purgatory.  personally, i think he would do better selling his secrets and becoming an outlaw-star...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...but it's a free world...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;give me a capitalist enterprise any day - at least you're told what you're getting for your money...but a non-profit-making company?

type='text'>assange extradition extra: clinton claims "wikileaks sex-monster raped me"</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;in a shocking new twist to the wikileaks exposure saga, secret white house diplomatic documents reveal that the secretary-in-a-state, mrs hillary rodham clinton, has accused frisky wikileaks fiend, julian assange, of abducting her to his secret mountain-top lair for a randy three-in-a-bed romp with his horny live-in kangaroo, "hoppy" (a doe).  in a tearful heart-to-heart with bosom buddy michelle obama, mrs clinton is reported to have confessed: "assange imprisoned me in his lewdly lurid love-nest...reeled me into a trance by playing funky unamerican rhythms on his didgeridoo, ripped off all my designer fairtrade-cotton clothes, tied me down with incredibly strong cables, and then forced me to have sexual-relations with &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; animal whilst he joined in and ravished me senseless.  it really was an &lt;em&gt;absolutely indescribable&lt;/em&gt; experience".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;when questioned over the allegations, mr assange asserted that he had "never touched the cross-hatched old crumpet", and exploding in exasperation, the postie-from-hell went on to explain: "look mate, she's stalked me all 'round the bloody globe under the pretence of carrying out covert soddin' surveillance vital to the interests of national soddin' security...when, in reality, the shagnasty sheila's just been after a doodle-on-me-donger...strewth".  the pussy-cuted wikileaks founder wearily insists that he has rejected the secretary of state's ardant amorous advances on a multitude of occasions and that his hastily effected evasive action has usually resulted in the former first-lady becoming "as cranky as a deranged dingbat on drugs", baring her chest, and "wobbling her tits" at him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;update:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in a dramatic new development, white house officials have re-affirmed the administration's position that classified embassy communications should now only be disseminated on a strict "need-to-know" basis, and has vehemently denied suggestions that a warrant for mr assange's extradition has been issued in order for michelle and hillary to determine whether he is a &lt;em&gt;real&lt;/em&gt; 'jules blonde'.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

daresay that brian haw (the stubborn peace-protester who has been encamped opposite the houses of parliament since the nato invasion of afghanistan in 2001) would probably not regard his stance of non-movement as a 'success', yet his actions have undoubtedly helped break-the-back of public opinion with regard to our government's futile and pernicious wars of occupation-cum-exploitation in iraq, afghanistan and pakistan...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...and as any decent snooker player knows...one should never interrupt an opponent (by conceding the game) whilst he is compiling a winning 'break'...it's &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; considered good &lt;em&gt;etiquette&lt;/em&gt;...and certainly &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; commensurate with the conduct of a &lt;em&gt;gentleman&lt;/em&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...but david cameron, boris johnson, and nick clegg are &lt;em&gt;not gentlemen&lt;/em&gt;...and home secretary, theresa may, is &lt;em&gt;no

haw and his tiny band of co-campers from their pitch &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; signalling the inevitable withdrawal of beleaguered british troops from the war-zone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;our politicians are not only (war) &lt;em&gt;criminals&lt;/em&gt;...but also &lt;em&gt;uncouth yobs&lt;/em&gt; - they have &lt;em&gt;no respect&lt;/em&gt; for the moral determination of the citizens who form our democracy...they &lt;em&gt;dishonour&lt;/em&gt; the memory of all those service-men and -women whom they have sent to their untimely deaths...and they &lt;em&gt;defecate&lt;/em&gt; upon the

type='text'>howard flight fights for middle-classes' right to be paid for sex</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;aghast at the invidious socio-political consequences of the re-jigged welfare state, the new conservative peer, howard flight, has demanded &lt;a href="http://www.financenews.co.uk/tax/tory-peer-apologises-for-child-benefit-breeding-gaffe/"&gt;equal nookie-remuneration&lt;/a&gt; for the "well-orff" &lt;em&gt;via&lt;/em&gt; the child-benefit-system.  in a shocking betrayal of his party's traditional principles, the former member of parliament for arundel and south downs has done the dirty and crossed to the other side of the house to sow his wild socialist oats - claiming that he "doesn't give a fuck" about the commonly prevailing philosophy which holds that poor people deserve &lt;em&gt;more&lt;/em&gt; state-funded financial &lt;em&gt;stimuli&lt;/em&gt; because they have &lt;em&gt;more&lt;/em&gt; '&lt;a

being 'extremely frustrated' by the current situation, and has expressed the view that the new regulations are "effectively an undercover coalition-condom on the british &lt;em&gt;bourgeousie&lt;/em&gt;".  responding to the concerns raised by his angry party member, the prime minister, mr david cameron, has promised to introduce "ultra-sensitive" tax-breaks on all

eavesdropped, and hacked 24 hours a day, you will be tracked &lt;strong&gt;everywhere&lt;/strong&gt;, snotty interns will be posted near your address to monitor your intellectual and sexual output (which will then be relayed back to you via spam e-mail), you will be befriended by undercover party members who will do everything possible to waste your time and energy, and you will be appointed a

be briefed to make your life as uncomfortable as possible; serving and retired civil service fraud officers will moonlight in order to supervize operations against you, your identity will be stolen, your writing plagiarized, and the proceeds split between the mob - and if your marriage is on the rocks, we will happily hammer home the final nails into its coffin-lid by inducing family members

ceremonial gay-packaging, heterosexuals should get as dirty as humanly possible, especially the african ones - for this, the pope says, is the only way to achieve "a humanization of sexuality".&lt;br

type='text'>old holborn scares the natives</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;in a recent post, entitled &lt;a href="http://www.oldholborn.net/2010/10/social-cleansing.html"&gt;social cleansing&lt;/a&gt;, my socially-challenged neighbour, namely &lt;em&gt;old holborn&lt;/em&gt;, has attempted to put the wind-up-the-willows of white middle-england by suggesting that a cap on rates of housing benefit will inevitably lead to an exodus of immigrants from inner-london to the shires in search of lower rents.  and how wrong could he be?  &lt;em&gt;very&lt;/em&gt; wrong...the restriction on levels of housing benefit will surely hit-&lt;em&gt;hardest&lt;/em&gt;-in-the-pocket those who &lt;em&gt;benefit&lt;/em&gt; from the welfare state the &lt;em&gt;most&lt;/em&gt;...the long-term unemployed?  no, the greedy private landlords who for years-upon-years have been raising their rents above the market-average...because the government has encouraged them to do so.  in fact, the housing-market would have crashed yonks ago had it not been for an excessively generous housing benefit system...and &lt;em&gt;now&lt;/em&gt; it definitely &lt;em&gt;will&lt;/em&gt; implode (if the coalition puts its votes where its manifesto is).  can't you just hear those high-geared high-ratio high-mortgaged liberal buy-to-letters just screaming in ideological pain as they realize that they can no longer afford to pay off the huge business-loans which they have procured under the former socialist &lt;em&gt;régime&lt;/em&gt;?  and what will the immigrants, upon whom this country was built, &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; when the price of property plummets, eh &lt;em&gt;old holborn?&lt;/em&gt;  they'll leave their digs, dig into their prudently propagated savings-accounts, and &lt;em&gt;buy&lt;/em&gt; up land, bricks, and mortar in every suburb, village and hamlet the length and breadth of the country.  just as the rothschilds snapped up buckinghamshire real estate at bargain-basement prices during the 1840s (following a cattle-market crash), so will today's immigrant businessmen follow suit.  yes, &lt;em&gt;old holborn&lt;/em&gt;, your new neighbour could well turn out to be a &lt;em&gt;nigerian&lt;/em&gt; - erecting a hideously-huge-white neo-hollywood-style mansion on a greenfield site near you...happy retirement

specially commissioned &lt;em&gt;spark up!&lt;/em&gt; survey reveals that an overwhelming proportion of &lt;em&gt;benefit-cheats&lt;/em&gt; believe that the chancellor of the exchequer, george osborne, and his merry band of taxmen are no better than a delinquent bunch of &lt;em&gt;street-muggers&lt;/em&gt;.  computerized analysis of responses to a wide range of questions posed by &lt;em&gt;dodgy data uk ltd&lt;/em&gt; indicates that the sample group of british welfare fraudsters were, in general, philosophically opposed to compulsory taxation, and also under the firm impression that tax-inspectors hang around in hoodies, whilst nonchalantly terrorizing old ladies by revealing their arses and engaging in estuary easy-speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;during an intimate pillow-conversation with a &lt;em&gt;spark up!&lt;/em&gt; undercover reporter, the chancellor of the extortionists is quoted as describing his micro-economic policy in the following terms:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;this is a rumble in the fiscal jungle.  we have to mug the honest hard-working taxpayer in order to finance an ultimately fruitless yet wonderfully vindictive vote-winning initiative against the great british benefit-cheat.  we could, of course, solve the problem of benefit-sponging by abolishing the welfare state altogether...but then we'd have no statutory excuse for fleecing the public via the tax-system and taking our own whacking great cut (in order to subsidize the rising cost of our children's ridiculously expensive public school educations).  basically, we in the conservative party are seeking to re-establish traditional values by re-introducing the well-heeled concept of social-exclusion - which is predicated upon the notion of the 'deserving snob', such as myself, who is born into the privileged mafia of major or minor aristocracy through absolutely no fault of his own...and the 'undeserving snob', more-often-than-not a socialist, who claws, shags and fiddles his way to the top of the dung-pile by virtue of his own craft, graft, criminal inclination and corrupt association.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div

colour her decision to send home super-talented zimbabwean contestant, gamu nhengu - who, through no fault of her own, has run into some difficulties concerning her immigration status and now faces deportation.  cole, who has previous for whacking a nigerian toilet-attendant without holding a recognized degree in deontological ethics, has claimed that she cannot possibly be racist as she was married to a black man - although presumably her participation in this relationship formed a mandatory component of her community service order, as she divorced him when he relapsed into racially-stereotypical behaviour and started putting it around a bit more than she could tolerate.  i could also rather ungenerously speculate that ms cole's husband was a normally-narrow-minded-&lt;em&gt;sun&lt;/em&gt;-newspaper-reading-brit who was of the common belief that immigration legislation was not in fact inherently racist so long as it did not affect or impede his own indefinite right to reside up cheryl's initial port-of-entry...but i won't...because i gather that he is considerably bigger than me - a fact which i guess swayed the liberal talent-show judge in her decision to jump on his nob in the first instance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;well-i-never&lt;/em&gt;...i along with other freedom-to-sing-to-shit-celebrities campaigners have long been arguing that immigration legislation &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; indeed &lt;em&gt;racist&lt;/em&gt; - as it discriminates unfairly against sub-saharan soul-singers - and now it appears that god, in his great and bountiful wisdom, has delivered unto us a scenario which demonstrates, beyond-all-possible-doubt, to even the most tone-deaf of &lt;em&gt;daily mail&lt;/em&gt; readers, that a nice girl, with a nice voice, could sadly end up illegally cleaning bogs below the minimum-wage - despite the fact that her mum has made a concerted attempt to integrate into british society by observing traditional national custom and claiming welfare benefits to which she was not strictly-speaking entitled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;may i wish gamu and her mum every success against those conceited cunts at the home office - and i hope and pray that gamu will be permitted to re-enter the competition and get a fair crack at punching cheryl's snotty stuck-up racist face in...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...if however, our prayers are &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; answered...may i suggest that gamu uses the insanely intense publicity either to secure herself a remunerative recording-contract, or to highlight the injustices of our exploitative immigration system...aside from that i would advise her to pursue her career in the regular pub-and-club venues in order to gain &lt;em&gt;real&lt;/em&gt; performance experience...and to completely avoid any more crap celebrity-manufacturing-contests, which, let's face it, ultimately have absolutely nothing to do with natural artistic self-development...and usually degenerate into some international race-row due to the prejudiced nature of the audience and programme producers...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;simon cowell just &lt;em&gt;does not deserve&lt;/em&gt; to profit from true musicians like gamu...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...and as for officer cheryl...may i wish her a long and fulfilling career in the &lt;em&gt;uk

unlike him, didn't even make the cut...and although i do not rate david lammy because of his support for the iraq war, i nevertheless recognize that he is more talented than other candidates who have

criticized for slinging-up a second-rate stadium for a second-rate sports-event, for the duration of the intricately lavish inaugural ceremony of the &lt;em&gt;2010 commonwealth games&lt;/em&gt;, the &lt;em&gt;jawaharlal nehru&lt;/em&gt; arena, in new delhi, proved to be a first-rate set for a premium-rate advertizing slot - of which the opportunistic authorities made the fullest use to promote indian commerce and culture to grand effect.  after an 80-year sentence of serial social-snubbery, the ancient civilization of the asian sub-continent has at last been granted the doubtful privilege of hosting this historic event and, in strict observance of time-honoured british tradition, the fastest politicians in the east have knocked-up the infra-structure on-the-cheap and pocketed the record-breaking difference without even breaking into a sweat - but one can hardly blame the &lt;em&gt;maharajahs&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;maharanis&lt;/em&gt; for defecating on the &lt;em&gt;commonwealth games&lt;/em&gt;, which were previously known as the &lt;em&gt;british empire games&lt;/em&gt;, which, in turn, evolved from the gladiatorial spectacles of inter-kingdom power-struggles and wars of independence so generously promoted by queen victoria throughout the worldwide-web of british colonies...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...and there we have it...the paradox of an &lt;em&gt;independent&lt;/em&gt; superstate, which has little interest in &lt;em&gt;playing games&lt;/em&gt; (when there's so much money to be &lt;em&gt;made&lt;/em&gt; and such influence to be &lt;em&gt;won&lt;/em&gt;) yet &lt;em&gt;plays&lt;/em&gt; host to the quaint martial melodies and nostalgic majesterial whims of an &lt;em&gt;enslaved&lt;/em&gt; defunct monarchy - whose &lt;em&gt;subjects&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;rulers&lt;/em&gt; are commonly &lt;em&gt;addicted&lt;/em&gt; to sports.  in london, you will notice that indians do not make a great show of celebrating the day on which they gained independence - they were not &lt;em&gt;granted&lt;/em&gt; it sham-to-shambles fashion, as in so many african and caribbean countries, they &lt;em&gt;grabbed&lt;/em&gt; it &lt;em&gt;back&lt;/em&gt;, and never looked &lt;em&gt;back&lt;/em&gt;.  indians celebrate their &lt;em&gt;independence&lt;/em&gt; every day of the year by striving to consolidate it - whereas the nigerians, for example, make a &lt;em&gt;big deal&lt;/em&gt; of &lt;em&gt;their&lt;/em&gt; 'independence' day, yet do not even &lt;em&gt;own&lt;/em&gt;, in any real or meaningful sense, the precious natural resources which lie beneath their mother-lands's rich home-soil; lagos, the business-hub-capital of black africa, is more-often-than-not &lt;em&gt;subject&lt;/em&gt; to a power black-out - a symptomatic state of affairs which sadly &lt;em&gt;defines&lt;/em&gt;, and is almost &lt;em&gt;synonymous&lt;/em&gt; with, african 'independence'...formerly known as &lt;em&gt;colonialism&lt;/em&gt;...formerly known as &lt;em&gt;slavery&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;south africa put on a fantastic football tournament, but it brought no freedom to its people...because soccer is 'something' spread (if not originally invented) by the british.  now...the indians may not be the greatest stadium-builders, nor hold much respect for the founders of democracy after whom they name these statutory status-symbols, but when they wish to construct &lt;em&gt;something&lt;/em&gt; important to &lt;em&gt;themselves&lt;/em&gt;, such as the &lt;em&gt;taj mahal&lt;/em&gt;, the &lt;em&gt;akshardham temple&lt;/em&gt;, or their &lt;em&gt;own&lt;/em&gt; mother-nation, it will undoubtedly last a &lt;em&gt;good deal&lt;/em&gt; longer than the &lt;em&gt;commonwealth games&lt;/em&gt; stadium, the &lt;em&gt;commonwealth games&lt;/em&gt;, the &lt;em&gt;british raj&lt;/em&gt;, or the &lt;em&gt;british empire&lt;/em&gt; - which in the five-thousand-year long scheme of india's dynamic dynastic history...is but a bloody blip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;edwin lutyens, eat your heart out.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div

issued at a hastily convened press-conference, the leader of the conservative party expounded his conviction that the introduction of progressive policies such as the

rightly been quick to ridicule the recent &lt;em&gt;bolshevik&lt;/em&gt; revolution in the labour party, but the raucous level of right-wing mirth belies a red-faced cover-up by a government which has complacently sat on its filthy murdering hands and completely failed to redress the balance of roughshod-western-justice in afghanistan.  you see...if the truth be told, the prospect of a strong civil-rights suit sitting on the opposition front benches of parliament is making the massed members of the coalition banditry quake in their bother-boots - because the moral &lt;em&gt;malaise&lt;/em&gt; which has brought british socialism crashing to its knees will ultimately be the downfall of this cobbled-cartel too.  in the crowded house of commons the collective conscience of collaboration is contagious, and the symptoms of sadistry are synchronic - war-poxed war-criminals are just &lt;em&gt;not fit&lt;/em&gt; to rule.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div

type='html'>&lt;br&gt;meanwhile, back at the ranch...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...diane abbott is busy munching away at core socialist values &lt;em&gt;from the inside&lt;/em&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;having reached that awkward point in life where her teenage boy no longer wants to know her, diane has generously elected to spend the remainder of her middle-age bugging the fuck out of middle-england - primarily, by running for election to the labour party shadow cabinet.  class-tittle-tattle has it that old labour stalwarts have been prompted to winch abbott over the last hurdle of parliamentary sexism and are about to project her into the make-believe-cabinet &lt;em&gt;rôle&lt;/em&gt; of &lt;em&gt;minister for women and equalities&lt;/em&gt; - which basically means she'll be washing-up the tea-cups.  madam &lt;em&gt;herself&lt;/em&gt; has been quoted as saying that she has her beady-eye on the 'voice of the cities' position - but i fear she'll have a serious social struggle finding any other person indigenous to the inner-city who sounds &lt;em&gt;quite&lt;/em&gt; like &lt;em&gt;her&lt;/em&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, i sincerely hope that, if offered the &lt;em&gt;women and equalities&lt;/em&gt; spot, abbott will politely tell &lt;em&gt;red edit&lt;/em&gt; to stuff the job where everyone's equally dark - even though, it must be admitted, the part &lt;em&gt;was&lt;/em&gt; written for her, &lt;em&gt;by her&lt;/em&gt;...but, &lt;em&gt;come now&lt;/em&gt;...giving equalities posts to minority feminists is a bit 1980s...init?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...and as for the &lt;em&gt;minister for cities&lt;/em&gt; gambit...i just don't buy it - ms abbott's either playing coy (and playing down her delta-force-female go-grab-it streak of desire) in the hope of being invited to take-on &lt;em&gt;something more senior&lt;/em&gt;..."oh honey, you shouldn't-have yes-thanks when-do-i-start" sort-of-a-thing...or else she &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; lacks confidence and ambition, due to her lack of dotty black female marxist &lt;em&gt;rôle&lt;/em&gt;-models.  in any case, the &lt;em&gt;minister of cities&lt;/em&gt; portfolio is a cosmetic career-move - as it's essentially london-focused and, in reality, boris johnson already does all the work, as mayor...a scenario which would thus afford &lt;em&gt;lady godiva&lt;/em&gt; a greater opportunity for beer-swilling in london hostelries...at a time when hackney residents are thoroughly fed up with their local embodiment of democracy hanging around street-corners molesting young white males...no thanks, we want her to get a &lt;em&gt;proper&lt;/em&gt; job.  it's shadow home fucking secretary or nowt, mate...oh, ok...maybe shadow foreign secretary...after all, look on the positive side...we would &lt;em&gt;definitely&lt;/em&gt; have &lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; further requirement for &lt;em&gt;trident&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;nonetheless, i must confess that i'm truly concerned about the competition &lt;em&gt;repeating&lt;/em&gt; from the brown-blair &lt;em&gt;reich&lt;/em&gt; - a glance at the list of mps who have put their names forward for mock-government draws my attention to the below-mentioned candidates who have the fresh blood of iraqi and afghan infants on their sociopathic hands:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;douglas alexander, ed balls, hilary benn, ben bradshaw, chris bryant, andy burnham, liam byrne, vernon coaker, yvette cooper, wayne david, angela eagle, maria eagle, caroline flint, mike gapes, barry gardiner, peter hain, david hanson, tom harris, john healey, meg hillier, huw irranca-davies, alan johnson, kevan jones, tessa jowell, eric joyce, david lammy, chris leslie, ivan lewis, fiona mactaggart, alun michael, jim murphy, gareth thomas, stephen timms, stephen twigg, shaun woodward&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...should all follow in the example of their bad-spirited leader, david miliband, and return to their constituencies in order to suffer an agonizing political death in the privacy of their own cctv'd trash-cans.  god &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; knows how any of them ever had the bloody brass to show their evil fucking faces &lt;em&gt;again&lt;/em&gt;? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...and finally, we wait in hope for a ghetto-blasting miracle...the miracle that late-developer, diane abbott, manages to grow a couple...a couple of independent brain-cells...&lt;em&gt;independent&lt;/em&gt; physically, spiritually, emotionally and intellectually (err...so maybe that last one's stretching it a bit) from her pretend-ministerial colleagues who will always unthinkingly concur with ed...and &lt;em&gt;independent&lt;/em&gt; from ed, who will always connive with mandelson...and &lt;em&gt;independent&lt;/em&gt; from obama, who will always &lt;em&gt;wait&lt;/em&gt; until some megalomaniacal u.s. general in afghanistan gets bored with blowing-out babies' brains before he, the president of america, feels that the time is &lt;em&gt;right&lt;/em&gt; to order the &lt;em&gt;king's african rifles&lt;/em&gt; to stop massacring the muslim &lt;em&gt;mau mau&lt;/em&gt;, their wives, and their children...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...for otherwise &lt;em&gt;spark up!&lt;/em&gt; simply cannot countenance backing our local vote-tart's loony-left-over logic-lite

squeeze 33 leadership-nominations out of high-ranking nazi-officials from the former totalitarian brown-blair &lt;em&gt;régime&lt;/em&gt; (including a distinctly curmudgeonly one from war-criminal, david miliband) before busting like a suicide-bomber onto the ballot-paper and taking her reluctant final sponsor, the fatally miscalculating fascist ex-foreign-secretary, &lt;em&gt;with her&lt;/em&gt; - and &lt;em&gt;get this&lt;/em&gt;, by way of a perversely returned backhanded-favour, the facety cow's now going around giving the poor defeated sod her &lt;em&gt;full backing&lt;/em&gt; should he so desire to seek a post in his junior brother's shadow-cabinet...when the plain fact of the matter is...he &lt;em&gt;really so doesn't&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ms abbott, who vehemently denies having entered the leadership-contest with the sole aim of eating away at david miliband's share of the vote, has today confirmed her continued participation in the electoral-feast by indicating her &lt;em&gt;own&lt;/em&gt; intention to run for a shadow-ministerial position - some commentators have already rated the stoke newington mp's chances of success in this endeavour as pretty slim, but it's worth bearing in mind that new party equal-opportunities rules guarantee there will be six &lt;em&gt;women's places&lt;/em&gt; up for grabs.  put it this way...if abbott doesn't get a spot on the front benches, she'll not know whether to cry "racist!" or "sexist!", the darling - but, whatever her take, such a blunt rejection would be a damning indictment of a party which is cynically attempting to brush the civilian blood of the iraq war under the plush red carpet of parliament.  indeed, considering that this long-serving backbencher has lately emerged as the unofficial spokesperson for the left-wing, and has always been steadfastly opposed to the iraq war (tho' a bit wanky on the war in afghanistan, it-must-be-said), for diane abbott to be offered anything &lt;em&gt;less&lt;/em&gt; than the position of shadow home, or foreign, secretary would reasonably be viewed as a &lt;em&gt;de facto&lt;/em&gt; side-lining of the socialist civil rights agenda.  even if one adjudges ms abbott's ambitions to be no more than a &lt;em&gt;kamikaze&lt;/em&gt; mission to expose racism in the labour party, it's abundantly clear that even the 'disappointment' of a further knock-back for &lt;em&gt;her ladyship&lt;/em&gt;, at the outstanding conference-poll, will still inevitably entail a serious degradation of support for the war-apologetic and -unapologetic candidates proposed by the right-wing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i wonder...was all this &lt;em&gt;abbottage&lt;/em&gt; envisaged within peter mandelson's master-plan for 'arranging' a silky-smooth palm-off of party-power?  possibly, he's that devious...but so's diane...don't say i never called her a &lt;em&gt;cunning little bitch&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you see, personally, i couldn't give a figgy-fuck whether &lt;em&gt;do-or-di&lt;/em&gt; gets the gig - she's just one big hot-air balloon who, bar the occasional apoplectic interjection of "racist!" or "sexist!", will unquestioningly do her ed-master's bidding, who, in turn, will do lord mandelwangle's bidding, who, in turn, will do the bidding of president obomba, lord of the yankees and israelis...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...and anyway...let's say the batty old battle-axe &lt;em&gt;does&lt;/em&gt; flunk it, and comes home to hackney empty-handed...i mean, come-on man...what &lt;em&gt;does&lt;/em&gt; diane abbott actually &lt;em&gt;expect&lt;/em&gt; from an irrepressibly &lt;em&gt;racist&lt;/em&gt; institution like the british &lt;em&gt;labour

least personality</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;when one compares the small percentage of the labour membership which turned-out for diane "big-amp" abbott against the great pile of support which ensured a party leadership victory for "stale-bread" ed miliband, one knows that the amount of votes cast for any given candidate in this election was inversely proportional to that particular candidate's charisma quotient.  i am also quite certain that &lt;em&gt;racism&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;sexism&lt;/em&gt; played a large part in dumping diane at the bottom of the heap of hopefuls who, to be truthful, were &lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt; equally fucking crap - although it has to be said that diane &lt;em&gt;does&lt;/em&gt; have an excrutiatingly irritating voice, something which isn't strictly-speaking her fault, of course, but which would surely have counted against her in a hostile homogeneous political environment far from the madding ghetto of positive discrimination for persons with arsey elocution.  nevertheless, it's difficult to avoid the conclusion that diane abbott, having been encouraged by her party to join the leadership-race in order to air some alternative-but-not-too-alternative views on such taboo subjects as military intervention in the middle-east and public-spending-cuts, &lt;em&gt;did really&lt;/em&gt; ask for it - yet suffered the social shit-shovelling because it was the price of a meal-ticket to the white-man's dinner-table, a place from which she expects to quietly consolidate her position of seniority in her wider home-constituency of &lt;em&gt;black&lt;/em&gt; political expression.  is diane abbott's survival strategy sound?  i reckon not - now that obama's bubble-of-bullshit has been burst by the splinters flying from a smashed civil-rights movement, black people are extremely apathetic about establishment politics, which is probably the main reason for them failing to get behind her (leadership-bid) in the first place...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...and now to ed:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I get it also that, whatever your view on the Iraq War, it led to an appalling loss of trust for us. I know we didn't always speak to your hopes, your dreams and address your fears and uncertainties. I know we have to change.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yes, you all heard it - the acceptance speech where, instead of respectfully burying the dead civilian millions of the iraq and afghanistan wars, he thoughtlessly tossed them into a makeshift shallow grave, glibly glossed from labour consciousness.  mr miliband, the &lt;em&gt;war on terror&lt;/em&gt; led to an appalling loss of &lt;em&gt;innocent life&lt;/em&gt; for communities in the middle-east, but you're only concerned about how many votes it lost you in the general election.  the &lt;em&gt;reality&lt;/em&gt; is that your corrupt labour government cannibalized any talent or experience amongst your ranks and your complacent comrades are now condemned to choose a figurehead from a lower-division intellectual gene-pool - whilst still desperately trying to sneak-back-in some key-criminal-elements from the tawdry and tarnished old-guard, including david miliband, ed balls and harriet harman.  until the labour party comes to terms with the &lt;em&gt;atrocity&lt;/em&gt; which it has committed in wog-world, it can never be redeemed, and will remain forever in parliamentary purgatory.  you, sir, are no more than a democratically-elected doorstop preventing socialism from being slammed into total political oblivion.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203811641261664955-6472727823872213268?l=sparkedoff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/feeds/6472727823872213268/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5203811641261664955&amp;postID=6472727823872213268&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/6472727823872213268'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/6472727823872213268'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/2010/09/blair-legacy-labour-party-vote-in.html' title='the blair legacy: labour party vote-in leadership contender with least personality'/><author><name>spark up</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00609844648021520806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__3SNwEdFvzA/S1zcOZz8p5I/AAAAAAAAAC8/PZtYgbt_2sw/S220/su1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203811641261664955.post-1073517864835534046</id><published>2010-09-25T00:09:00.030+01:00</published><updated>2010-09-25T22:46:50.426+01:00</updated><title type='text'>united states generals throw tizzy-fit and troop out of afghanistan</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;apparently, president mahmoud ahmadinejad (an iranian in new york) upset american insensibilities, on thursday, by suggesting that the notorious failed attempt by ill-mannered immigrants to enter the land-of-the-free-tea-parties without a proper printed invitation, on 11th september 2001, might just possibly be linked to a century of wanton western infusion and unlicensed brew-ups in the middle-east.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;russell brand, a guest at a reception in the white house, has boiled matters up further by explaining that: "well you see...sympathetic members of the israeli secret tea-service heard about the tea-plot and, on learning of the gate-crashers' desperate plight and poverty, thought errr...we'll 'ave some of that, and found it in their holy old hearts to purchase the fanatical saudi tea-lovers their plane-tickets all the way to america...the dears...and even went the extra-mile to provide them with some of those handy little white-plastic stirring-stick-thingies for when they arrived at the bash...in fact, such was the israelis' concern for health and safety, due to over-crowding at the popular event, that they persuaded their own hebrew tea-tasters to stay home that day and not attend".  later on, realizing his &lt;em&gt;faux-pas&lt;/em&gt;

on bbc1), diane abbott, flashing her booty at the old-labour leftwingers, made a great show of dragging tony blair's name through the blood and guts of the iraq invasion and occupation (even going so far as to tag blair as the &lt;em&gt;robin&lt;/em&gt; to george bush's &lt;em&gt;batman&lt;/em&gt;), yet she observed the fairly obviously pre-choreographed club-convention by contributing to a complete collective failure to take any position on the continuing war-crime which is western intervention in afghanistan.  abbott is a di-hard obama-opportunist who will do nothing to jeopardize her proximity to the white house power-distribution process whilst it keeps spinning, and this consideration trumps any allegiance she has to the old white socialist-left-overs - indeed, it is &lt;em&gt;this&lt;/em&gt; very lack of commitment to human-rights which will cost the first black champagne socialist chick any real chance of progressing in this election.  now don't get me wrong, diane abbott's by far the most compelling and communicative candidate on the list...i'd love our local hypocrite to get the gig, even tho', as a favour to her president, she encouraged the neighbourhood bother-boys 'n -girls to hang around here and mess me about - but my concern is this: if she were eventually to bust her way into number ten, would she be a faithful companion to &lt;em&gt;dick dastardly&lt;/em&gt;, if he by some miracle manages to secure re-election on the platform of having achieved sweet fuck-all?  you know i'm sorry diane, but you really &lt;em&gt;cannot&lt;/em&gt; compare war-criminals, like bush and blair, to well-loved cartoon-heros, you gave yourself away there - believe me, if you ever get into government and, like obama, are passed the baton of brutality only to greedily accept it with a big fat grin, you will suffer far worse comic comparison than the one which i have just insinuated.  if we &lt;em&gt;have&lt;/em&gt; to have politicians, let them be &lt;em&gt;good&lt;/em&gt; politicians - if black politicians &lt;em&gt;have&lt;/em&gt; to collaborate in this race-war-mongering hierarchy, let them be &lt;em&gt;good&lt;/em&gt; black politicians.  the world doesn't need another barack "i'm not black or white, just bad" obama and a wife who, on his birthday, is not able to be by her husband's side because she is too busy doing essential life-saving charity work amongst down-and-out south-london gangsters in exile in marbella - at least the late manipulating power-cow &lt;em&gt;princess&lt;/em&gt; di had the gumption to actually &lt;em&gt;go&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;africa&lt;/em&gt; (you know michelle...that place where &lt;em&gt;black&lt;/em&gt; people come from to do things for &lt;em&gt;white&lt;/em&gt; people) and hold the hands, or stumps, of the children whose lives and families were (and still are) being decimated by the never-ending never-bending world-dictatorship of which she was a willing partner.  these guys are a fucking disgrace to the memory of &lt;em&gt;true&lt;/em&gt; black civil-rights heros like &lt;em&gt;steve biko&lt;/em&gt; - who were &lt;em&gt;real&lt;/em&gt; intellectuals with &lt;em&gt;real&lt;/em&gt; guts.  think my earlier sniggering portrayal of you is inappropriate ms abbott?  just rewind the tape of last night's programme and review the part where you were so immersed in snorting at your own joke that you failed to notice the audience was laughing &lt;em&gt;at&lt;/em&gt; you, not &lt;em&gt;with&lt;/em&gt; you.  yes, it can be a terrifying ordeal having every single mistaken moment of your existence recorded, examined and ridiculed by people who don't even &lt;em&gt;know&lt;/em&gt; you, can't it diane?  i'm sick of it too: your cia goons upstairs who make it their business to log every key i press on the computer, and every call i make on the telephone, are clearly lacking fulfilling careers - but have no fear, in the bling new world, obama and crew will always find such people a gang to belong to and duly allocate them some poor cunt to hound.  what a boon.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203811641261664955-5692669872721020659?l=sparkedoff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/feeds/5692669872721020659/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5203811641261664955&amp;postID=5692669872721020659&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/5692669872721020659'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/5692669872721020659'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/2010/09/abbott-slams-iraq-war-but-swerves.html' title='abbott slams iraq war, but swerves afghanistan'/><author><name>spark up</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00609844648021520806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__3SNwEdFvzA/S1zcOZz8p5I/AAAAAAAAAC8/PZtYgbt_2sw/S220/su1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203811641261664955.post-6194615290346702697</id><published>2010-09-16T12:19:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2010-09-16T13:14:33.200+01:00</updated><title type='text'>this is a comment is free papal-overflow-facility</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cartoon/2010/sep/16/steve-bell-pope-visit-britain?showallcomments=true"&gt;&lt;em&gt;steve bell on the pope's visit to britain&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203811641261664955-6194615290346702697?l=sparkedoff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/feeds/6194615290346702697/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5203811641261664955&amp;postID=6194615290346702697&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/6194615290346702697'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/6194615290346702697'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/2010/09/steve-bell-on-popes-visit-to-britain.html' title='this is a &lt;i&gt;comment is free&lt;/i&gt;

african festival (whatever the heck &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; may be when it's at home) which specially caters for &lt;em&gt;stuck-up twats&lt;/em&gt; like the &lt;em&gt;stuck-up twat&lt;/em&gt; who has a &lt;em&gt;penchant&lt;/em&gt; for &lt;em&gt;masquerading&lt;/em&gt; as &lt;em&gt;my&lt;/em&gt; friend.  i keep telling the &lt;em&gt;twat&lt;/em&gt;: &lt;em&gt;nothing good ever comes of compulsory taxation&lt;/em&gt; - which is basically how we end up with an african ticket-only festival (a bit like an english bring-a-bottle party) with the somewhat surreal spectacle of white-men dressed in full african costume playing the drums, wickedly.  in light of such blinding ignorance on &lt;em&gt;the twat's&lt;/em&gt; part, i suppose i should not have been overly surprised that, on the way home, my inconstant &lt;em&gt;consort&lt;/em&gt; topped-off the evening by informing me that i should pay 'taxes' to her gangster brothers in the mafia - hells bells, she keeps expressing a desire to 'collaborate' with &lt;em&gt;me&lt;/em&gt;, but i rather reckon she'd do better &lt;em&gt;collaborating&lt;/em&gt; with the &lt;em&gt;inland&lt;/em&gt; cunting &lt;em&gt;revenue&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok...fair enough...in a world of ideal music, i would have preferred to have experienced an afro-african ensemble, but all-in-all i'm bloody glad i gate-crashed the mc solaar gig - it was &lt;em&gt;bloody great&lt;/em&gt;, as was ms ndagire and her kooky but keen kraut crossovers, and there was never &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; doubt &lt;em&gt;whatsoever&lt;/em&gt; that this celebrated ugandan singer, adorned in her stunning tribal costume, with her fluid &lt;em&gt;african&lt;/em&gt; moves and genuine &lt;em&gt;african&lt;/em&gt;

have much to teach us &lt;em&gt;rosbifs&lt;/em&gt; about the art of &lt;em&gt;chic&lt;/em&gt; understated fashion and subtly under-cooked &lt;em&gt;cuisine&lt;/em&gt; - i am, therefore, utterly at a loss to explain our cross-channel cousins' insistence on letting their uncosmopolitan, uncoutured, unbridled &lt;em&gt;racism&lt;/em&gt;

songs sound worse than the ultra-sonic-screeching of a freaked-out hedgehog...and finally, with considerations of health and safety aforethought, monsieur sarkanova decides to have pregnant african immigrants dragged feet-first from their squats, with the honourable intention of repatriating them to a better standard-of-living in sub-saharan zinc shanty-towns - quite a generous gesture given that he &lt;em&gt;himself&lt;/em&gt;

sent everyone 'back' where they 'belong' - who'll be left?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;answer: just &lt;em&gt;himself&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;tom cruise&lt;/em&gt; - with whom the president has no objection to being photographed, largely because the short-arsed scientologist doesn't dwarf him into total obscurity.  in conclusion, mr sarkozy, may i draw on the worldly wisdom and teachings of &lt;em&gt;l ron hubbard&lt;/em&gt;, and assure you that &lt;em&gt;your&lt;/em&gt;

street-party in london's notting hill, subduing it into silence under a damp down-pillow of &lt;em&gt;diva&lt;/em&gt;-policing...for you see, the beat-boys are back in town, with a vicious, virtuous vengeance.  under the &lt;em&gt;bravado bourgeois&lt;/em&gt; management of mayor boris johnson, the smirking &lt;em&gt;balliol&lt;/em&gt; bully, carnival is dead-set on becoming the biggest village-&lt;em&gt;fête&lt;/em&gt; in europe - a charmingly confined celebration of tea, cupcakes, cucumber-sandwiches, rasta-ribboned morris-dancing-and-may-pole-prancing...or you'll get yer head kicked-in, by the fuzz-bouncers, init?  nevertheless, respect must go out to all the &lt;em&gt;kow-towing&lt;/em&gt; community-leaders, without whom this muted multi-cultural masquerade of monotonous menacing blue could never have been achieved - perhaps the privileged petty-powers of parliament feel that the notion of serfs letting-off steam for a day has become obsolete in a liberal society embarrassed by the frustrating freedom to do fuck-all-good for anyone.  a seven pm sound-off, leaves the mood of mambo-jambo-without-jets to culminate in a controlled-crash at the fag-end of a festive-funway trimmed by a tactical blackthorn-hedge; banned-from-bogling, but licensed-to-booze, the wronged-throng, unreluctantly-trained to form an orderly queue, descend back into the tube-system, and submit to the gradual creeping-culture of obamafication...save for two lads, spoilt-with-liberty, whose raucous remonstrations found sport with the law, and the law winged them with a clinically executed display of spontaneous synchronized-drubbing, hospitably treating the popping-pair to a short-sharp burst of relentlessly-rehearsed rawhide-racial-rhythms coming-to-conclusion in a concise on-the-cuff &lt;em&gt;crescendo&lt;/em&gt; when both gob-smacked guests were overwhelmed to accept the drum-&lt;em&gt;rôle d'honneur&lt;/em&gt; - the show over, a select-audience of smattered fans wavered in shell-shock-adulation, straining their saturated-souls to find an appropriate manner in which to express their unrestrained gratitude, some generously donating bottles of iced-cold-beer to quench the ardent auraric thirst of the authorized attention &lt;em&gt;artistes&lt;/em&gt; blowing and glowing centre-fold...whilst other have-a-go-gallants turned from confronting the compulsory surreal attraction, and sheepishly accompanied bubbling womenfolk back to their shelters of silk-sheer complacency.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203811641261664955-7960648059474991434?l=sparkedoff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/feeds/7960648059474991434/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5203811641261664955&amp;postID=7960648059474991434&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/7960648059474991434'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/7960648059474991434'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/2010/09/camerons-carnival-of-complacency.html' title='cameron&apos;s carnival of complacency'/><author><name>spark up</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00609844648021520806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__3SNwEdFvzA/S1zcOZz8p5I/AAAAAAAAAC8/PZtYgbt_2sw/S220/su1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203811641261664955.post-8412513400707170358</id><published>2010-08-25T05:40:00.017+01:00</published><updated>2010-09-04T15:30:29.876+01:00</updated><title type='text'>petraeus flips-his-flopsider and vows to flush insurgency from white house</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;buoyed in the wake of his ground-buffing campaign to bring ozone-friendly furniture polish, &lt;em&gt;avant-garde&lt;/em&gt; odour control, and new-wave anti-static carpet-shampoo to iraq, cap'n david petraeus has stamped his nubuck rockport deckshoe by way of politely re-iterating that july 2011 is simply "a date when a process begins", and insists that he will not be rushing to withdraw service-personnel from mainland united states until he has run his ultra-lite khaki feather-duster along every cornice of the oval office, poked it into every crevice, and relentlessly tickled the enemy until terrorizing them into complete and unconditional submission.  petraeus, distinguished in five-star commercial-hygiene operations which have have brought him into contact with some of the most hostile environments in downtown washington dc, and a dour gritty veteran of two deep-cleans, says that he has not survived a bungled assassination attempt by his own staff, and another totally unrelated malicious act of god, just to turn and quit when the going gets a bit messy.  the general explained: "when you go into a job like this...you think that it's your last job, especially when you've got a complaints book containing more colourful prose than &lt;em&gt;war and peace&lt;/em&gt;, and a contractor who is determined to see you fall flat on your face so he can use a get-out clause, dispense with your services, and then walk right-over you off into the sunset without even stepping in the icky-sticky backyard mud".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;meanwhile, sitting on the sharp-end out in afghanistan, general james t conway of the united states marine corps has made the following proposition: "if we can't shift the taliban by mid-2011, we'll just have to meet them man-to-man, smoke a few pipes, hold hands and join forces to strike at our deadly common foe - the po-litically-correctionated pinko poof-lovers in power in washington".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;when later asked to comment on general conway's remarks, general petraeus made it clear that he was not currently in a position to make further statements on the affair, as he was heavily occupied, having taken-on overall command of a crucial "disinfection-manœuvre" - apparently he'd had to order his men "over-the-top", although sadly could not join them due to an extremely pressing prior engagement with a smoked-salmon sandwich at the country club.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203811641261664955-8412513400707170358?l=sparkedoff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/feeds/8412513400707170358/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5203811641261664955&amp;postID=8412513400707170358&amp;isPopup=true' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/8412513400707170358'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/8412513400707170358'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/2010/08/petraeus-vows-to-flush-enemy-from-white.html' title='petraeus flips-his-flopsider and vows to flush insurgency from white house'/><author><name>spark up</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00609844648021520806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__3SNwEdFvzA/S1zcOZz8p5I/AAAAAAAAAC8/PZtYgbt_2sw/S220/su1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203811641261664955.post-2530252629349565985</id><published>2010-08-20T01:02:00.011+01:00</published><updated>2010-08-20T03:03:38.600+01:00</updated><title type='text'>cameron to encourage teenagers to get stoned</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;in an innovative bid to reduce the billions of pounds of public-money spent on training and equipping the united kingdom's armed-forces (and then finding them some mad cunt to fight), the prime minister has today announced that the taliban are to lose the &lt;a href="http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia/2010/08/2010816194659884982.html"&gt;lucrative contract&lt;/a&gt;

and its freelance bully-boys, &lt;em&gt;working links&lt;/em&gt; - indeed, anyone still naïve enough to work in the public services must now surely come to terms with the fact that every government office, school, and hospital is carefully planted with a strategic network of super-annuated intelligent grasses, the like of which have been keeping tabs on me ever since my days as a civil-service union representative...but &lt;em&gt;god knows&lt;/em&gt;, this obsession with mind-control has reached a fever-pitch in recent times and must cost the tax-payer a fucking fortune.  my crimes?  harsh criticism of british and united states government policy, as promulgated by messrs bush, obama, blair, brown, and cameron - with the iraq and afghan war as my specialist subject.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i will list below the most probable facilitators of my interminable torment, according to rank:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;lord mandelson&lt;br /&gt;trevor phillips obe&lt;br /&gt;david lammy&lt;br /&gt;meg hillier&lt;br /&gt;diane abbott&lt;br /&gt;oona king&lt;br /&gt;simon woolley&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ongoing court proceedings involving a primary provocateur prevent the naming of any additional politicians who may be implicated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in recognition of dissenting bloggers in the uk, usa, europe, and across the world, my solicitors will not rest until the culprits are judicially exposed and barred from public office, &lt;em&gt;forever&lt;/em&gt;.  and in order to save public money, i propose that mr cameron scraps the secret intelligence services with immediate effect - &lt;em&gt;fucking useless cunts&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203811641261664955-7220225403592013866?l=sparkedoff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/feeds/7220225403592013866/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5203811641261664955&amp;postID=7220225403592013866&amp;isPopup=true' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/7220225403592013866'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/7220225403592013866'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/2010/08/formal-apology-to-guido-fawkes.html' title='a formal apology to &lt;em&gt;guido fawkes&lt;/em&gt;'/><author><name>spark up</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00609844648021520806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__3SNwEdFvzA/S1zcOZz8p5I/AAAAAAAAAC8/PZtYgbt_2sw/S220/su1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203811641261664955.post-6849620522696810304</id><published>2010-08-04T22:21:00.014+01:00</published><updated>2010-09-23T01:43:46.196+01:00</updated><title type='text'>old holborn goes all english nationalist</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;bless his little rotten heart, &lt;em&gt;old holborn&lt;/em&gt; has resorted to good old english nationalism in order to justify his tirade-mark islamophobia and anti-semitism - he's also having difficulty keeping his stats up these days, so i'll provide him with a couple of links: &lt;a href="http://www.oldholborn.net/2010/08/ever-victim.html"&gt;ever the victim&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.oldholborn.net/2010/08/ever-victim-part-2.html"&gt;ever the victim (part two)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in brief, &lt;em&gt;old holborn&lt;/em&gt; reckons that the israelis have falsely accused the english of being anti-semitic - a label which, he asserts, despite a long and well-documented history of english and british anti-semitism, is grossly unfair, because once-upon-a-time some israelis blew up some englishmen in palestine.  however, &lt;em&gt;old holborn&lt;/em&gt; fails to mention that the british military was over in the holy land due to british participation in the second world war, a war which britain, like the united states, had no need to enter, given that hitler really had no desire to invade or fight us, recognizing as he did that we were all fascists of a feather, not in the least concerned about the fate of a few million jews, africans, caribbeans, asians, gypsies, communists or homosexuals, and all hell-bent on empire-building, or empire-preserving - the primary reasons for britain and america's eventual involvement in the conflict.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;old holborn&lt;/em&gt; then goes on to state that, since the pakistani foreign secretary has deemed the british to have "caused offence" by calling his countrymen terrorists, we english have been falsely accused of being islamophobic - a label which, he asserts, despite a long and well-documented history of english and british islamophobia, is grossly unfair, because once-upon-a-time a few people of pakistani-origin blew up some englishmen in london.  however, &lt;em&gt;old holborn&lt;/em&gt; fails to mention that the british military have been suppressing, slaughtering and exploiting the citizens of pakistan for a couple of hundred years, all in the name of british colonialism.  &lt;em&gt;old holborn&lt;/em&gt; also vilifies pakistan for subjecting its citizens to slavery, bonded labour, poverty and for creating a club (islam) which no-one is allowed to leave - yet he fails to recognize that the imposition of british colonialism and neo-colonial democracy has had exactly the same effect.  &lt;em&gt;old holborn&lt;/em&gt; reckons that pakistan has exported a culture of personal violence to this our beautiful island - yet he omits to point out that we already have the nhs to thank for implementing invasive health procedures and programmes which mutilate the lives of our citizens, both mentally and physically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;whilst i can agree with &lt;em&gt;old holborn&lt;/em&gt; that pakistan and israel are governed by murderous, empire-building &lt;em&gt;régimes&lt;/em&gt;, i must, unlike him, acknowledge that it was our &lt;em&gt;own&lt;/em&gt; english-based murderous, empire-building &lt;em&gt;régime&lt;/em&gt; which put them in place...and let us not forget the single proud contribution which english nationalism has made to the world and which still proudly stands our country in good stead today - namely, the concentration camp, now more commonly known as the immigration detention centre.  what a fucking disgrace.  sort it out cameron you fascist cunt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in case you've been wondering, the difference between &lt;em&gt;old holborn&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;spark up&lt;/em&gt; is that &lt;em&gt;old holborn&lt;/em&gt; is an &lt;em&gt;english nationalist&lt;/em&gt; who promotes the dysfunctional traits of our national character, such as racism, sexism, and downright hypocritical bigotry - whereas &lt;em&gt;i&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;spark up&lt;/em&gt;, am an &lt;em&gt;english culturalist&lt;/em&gt; who celebrates the finer aspects of traditional english life, such as cricket, fish and chips, and a nice cuppa tea.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203811641261664955-6849620522696810304?l=sparkedoff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/feeds/6849620522696810304/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5203811641261664955&amp;postID=6849620522696810304&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/6849620522696810304'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/6849620522696810304'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/2010/08/old-holborn-goes-all-english.html' title='&lt;em&gt;old holborn&lt;/em&gt;

the defence of afghanistan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yes, mr obama, there is &lt;em&gt;indeed&lt;/em&gt; nothing &lt;em&gt;new&lt;/em&gt; in the wiki-leak revelations - we already knew that civilian lives were being sacrificed in afghanistan for the greater good of american self-importance, and that, &lt;em&gt;surprise-surprise&lt;/em&gt;, sections of the pakistani administration have been supporting anti-western forces.  you see it's all an unfortunate misunderstanding which has occurred due to clumsily implemented terminology - if, mr obama, you had briefed david cameron to accuse pakistan's islamic state of assisting their muslim brothers in the holy &lt;em&gt;jihad&lt;/em&gt; against the invading &lt;em&gt;infidel&lt;/em&gt;, everyone would have been sweet, except, of course, for those middle-eastern politicians who are getting slushed-up by the cia.  it is absolutely natural, mr obama, that other muslim countries are going to back resistance movements mounted against western forces which have immorally occupied the home territory of fellow muslims - this is fucking obvious you dumb cunt.  are only &lt;em&gt;christians&lt;/em&gt; permitted to repel aggressive intruders, to arm themselves with high-tech weaponry, to congregate and coalesce to mount a holy crusade, and to possess nuclear deterrents?  mr obama, you are waging a sham-war in the middle-east for the benefit of your racist voters at home in the united states, but the afghan opposition have seen too many of their women and children aimlessly butchered to play your deadly game of shadow-boxing, they are not sparring - when you trumpet some stupidly-named invasive-surgery operation against the taliban, they just move out and proceed to bite your troops in the ass up some other barren mountain-of-nothingness.  you look like an utter dickhead, mr president.  obama, it's high time you review your intelligence on the uppityness of iran, pakistan, afganistan, somalia etc etc and decide whether to boost your &lt;em&gt;macho&lt;/em&gt; image by taking on the entire muslim world in an inevitably cataclysmic global-war, or whether to fuck-off home like a sensible boy.  can't get political support for doing the right thing?  then resign like a man.  this war ain't got no damn legs, man.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203811641261664955-258096383501017792?l=sparkedoff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/feeds/258096383501017792/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5203811641261664955&amp;postID=258096383501017792&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/258096383501017792'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/258096383501017792'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/2010/08/never-mind-iraq-war.html' title='never mind the iraq war'/><author><name>spark up</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00609844648021520806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__3SNwEdFvzA/S1zcOZz8p5I/AAAAAAAAAC8/PZtYgbt_2sw/S220/su1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203811641261664955.post-2990705306023583989</id><published>2010-07-23T20:19:00.022+01:00</published><updated>2010-09-21T12:48:29.133+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='museum peace'/><title type='text'>spark up! exclusive: revolutionary intellectual bonnie princess greer claims mozart was muslim suicide-bomber</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;in a highly controversial outburst, bonnie greer (recently awarded the order of the british empire in recognition of her piss useless attacks on the establishment) has revealed that the celebrated composer, wolfgang amadeus mozart, was in fact a radical islamic &lt;em&gt;jihadist&lt;/em&gt; who came to a blinding &lt;em&gt;crescendo&lt;/em&gt; then blew himself up - a remarkable new finding which turns on its afro the hitherto accepted body of historical scholarship, carried out by literally scores of eminent musicologists, that has always indicated the manic &lt;em&gt;maestro&lt;/em&gt; to have been, in all probability, &lt;em&gt;either&lt;/em&gt; the initiate of a traditional polytheistic niger-congo religion whose followers hold sacred the ewe dual-deity, mawu-lisa, &lt;em&gt;or&lt;/em&gt;, alternatively, a worshipper of the androgynous god, vonda, revered by the fon people of benin, and, notwithstanding the exact nature of his religious beliefs, to have been simply the innocuous victim of a rather stubborn common cold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tragically, however, and wholly irrespective of the true circumstances pertaining to the wonderful wolfgang's untimely demise, it must be stressed that an audience with ms greer is closely akin to the childhood experience of being taken by one's educatively over-stimulated parents to visit the grassfield site of the ancient battle of woodstock, only to meet with the profound disappointment of discovering the complete absence of any busty britannic babes bathing bare-assed in the lake, not-to-mention a distinct lack of hippies wandering 'round sporting a spear lodged in one eye-socket - for the good battleship &lt;em&gt;bonnie&lt;/em&gt;, i'm afraid to say, has gracefully retired from political activism to knit woolly-worded tea-cosies custom-designed to keep the chilly winter-draughts out of babylon, her feminist views but out-of-fashion-accessories left shunned and moth-balled in the closet, her &lt;em&gt;faux&lt;/em&gt; exibition-outrage over the senselessly-slaughtered guts of innocent afghan families serving as little more than morally-perished knicker-elastic.  now how can one support president obama without supporting the clear and present policies of neo-colonial suppression which, in countries such as afghanistan, and pakistan, the selfsame gentleman justifies in the name of self-defence?  well err...umm...by the skilled employment of &lt;em&gt;nuancing&lt;/em&gt;, according to the highly-articulated bonnie greer - who would presumably &lt;em&gt;also&lt;/em&gt;

- it would inevitably develop between followers of the two main proxy-religions to which africans have been exposed, &lt;em&gt;islam&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;christianity&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;when, in 2006, the united states and the united kingdom decided to employ their diplomatic muscle, their intelligence services, and armed forces, to destabilize and disintegrate the moderate and popularly accepted somalian umbrella party, the &lt;em&gt;islamic courts union&lt;/em&gt; (at a time when somalians were emerging from years of destructive civil war and were firmly set on making peace amongst themselves), our malicious american and british governments also cynically enlisted (&lt;em&gt;via&lt;/em&gt; the united nations) the support of western-puppeteered dictators such as president museveni in uganda.  now kampala has been attacked -and our slaughter-happy manipulative leaders have achieved the result they always desired - a somalia plunged back into the eternal abyss of catastrophic internal conflict, the mutilated corpses of murdered ugandan civilians splattered &lt;em&gt;right across&lt;/em&gt; the world's television screens (although not, of course, the bodies of the many thousand somalian dead), and a grotesquely manufactured excuse to invade a muslim country previously &lt;i&gt;disinterested&lt;/i&gt; in islamic extremism, where there pre-existed &lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; so-called 'al qaeda' elements with any credible independent local powerbase.  &lt;em&gt;al-shabaab&lt;/em&gt;, the splinter-group which has claimed responsibility for the ugandan bombings, has only been pushed to the fore since 2006, when western-backed forces intervened in somalia.  the terrorists-of-the-moment, whose dipping hands are indelibly dyed with the blood of these unsuspecting ugandan football-fans, are known as &lt;em&gt;david cameron&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;barack obama&lt;/em&gt;, and they intend to use somalia as yet another launch-pad to effect total war against iran and the wider middle-east - for the sake of innocent men, women and children in both the middle-east, and africa, and here at home in the capitals of our western moral-wilderness, we simply &lt;em&gt;cannot&lt;/em&gt; allow such an outrageous plan to accumulate endorsement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;spark up!&lt;/em&gt; fully backs the campaign to occupy parliament square until these genocidal wars are abandoned.  the wars perpetrated and precipitated by american and european powers in the middle east, africa, and in many other corners of the globe, are a gross and horrendous abuse of the united nations' legislature and international law - these immoral wars aim to annihilate all basic human rights and aspirations of common decency.  this is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt;

on sale there.  as you can imagine, i felt immediately compelled to enquire about this scandalous situation and approached a bear-salesperson in order to ascertain whether the afore-mentioned establishment's policy on golliwogs was, indeed, more a case of positive selection, rather than negative omission - however, in response to the question, "do you have any golliwogs in stock?" the assistant blurted out: "i don't exactly know what a golliwog &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt;, but if it's what i think it is, no!"  well, leaving aside the deplorable state of affairs whereby, in this day and age, an employee in such a line of business can be wholly ignorant of the existence of the golliwog, nay, utterly unable to identify one, i feel duty-bound to point out that the weight of circumstancial evidence collected at the &lt;em&gt;build-a-bear workshop&lt;/em&gt; constitutes a &lt;em&gt;prima facie&lt;/em&gt; case of gross discrimination against the beleaguered cuddly toy formerly known-and-loved as "golly", the child's bosom bedtime-companion.  moreover, i am sorry to say, i cannot build, for this company, a specious defence based upon the notion, for example, that the &lt;em&gt;build-a-bear workshop&lt;/em&gt; only sells the teddy bear and nothing but the teddy bear - for, as i have already communicated, i distinctly remember beholding furry flamingos and pekingese pandas strutting their stuff upon the display-shelves.  i am thus presented with no other option but to conclude that there is in play, purely-and-simply, a pre-meditated marketing-plan which aims to &lt;em&gt;intentionally&lt;/em&gt; exclude the traditional afro-caribbean playmate from the shop-premises - a decision which has &lt;em&gt;deliberately&lt;/em&gt; left the continent of africa woefully and disgracefully under-represented in the &lt;em&gt;build-a-bear workshop&lt;/em&gt;, and which has left &lt;em&gt;me&lt;/em&gt; flabbergasted.

flying-trip to a truly black african nation - the grateful hosts on that occasion of high-security, cia-street-cleansing, and cranked-up-media-momentum, being the west-cosy ghanaian government of president john atta mills.  indeed, at the time he granted his ground-snogging visitation to mother africa's bosom, obama made it diamond-clear that he would &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; be staging further presidential-manifestations upon african soil unless the local ruling governments in question met the strict cock-sucking requirements laid-down by his united states' administration - the sole exception to this stipulation being when united states' forces had previously occupied that particular country, secured all tourist attractions, and swept the safari park.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;of course, the &lt;i&gt;real&lt;/i&gt; reason for mr obama's shyness in materializing in the mummy-continent is the multitude of highly-fucked-off muslims and other assorted anti-arrogant-asshole africans, who realize (either by the grace of having watched islamic afghan families splattered on prime-time telly, or having engaged in fruitless attempts to sell crops to the usa, or having had the minerals pulled out from under their very feet by cia-armed warlords) that this &lt;strong&gt;p&lt;/strong&gt;rotectionist, &lt;strong&gt;i&lt;/strong&gt;nterventionist, &lt;strong&gt;e&lt;/strong&gt;xtractionist president does not give a toffee about africa, and would like to pop him - before the place is suffocated, slaughtered and sucked-dry by his political profiteering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;no doubt, mr obama may soon be dropping-in to support his soccer team in south africa, safe in the knowledge that there are lots of lovely white people living there who own all the nice bits - i do, however, have it on good authority that he is praying to god almighty for the stars 'n stripes squad to be eliminated early, this being a result which would excuse him from sitting through 90 minutes of tedious soccerball in a stadium-fit-for-snipers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203811641261664955-5628487841048298519?l=sparkedoff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/feeds/5628487841048298519/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5203811641261664955&amp;postID=5628487841048298519&amp;isPopup=true' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/5628487841048298519'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/5628487841048298519'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/2010/06/obama-african-american-president-who.html' title='barack obama: the african-american president who avoids africa like the black plague'/><author><name>spark up</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00609844648021520806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__3SNwEdFvzA/S1zcOZz8p5I/AAAAAAAAAC8/PZtYgbt_2sw/S220/su1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203811641261664955.post-5422095926519181015</id><published>2010-06-12T00:19:00.043+01:00</published><updated>2010-09-21T12:52:33.340+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='en-ger-land'/><title type='text'>spark up! exclusive: bp (blow-pipe) unlimited - the facts behind the fuck-ups</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;at the core of one of their trademark unsubtly-synchronized damage-limitation exercizes, the british mainscream media are trotting out one of their sloppiest stories ever: how the bp oil-spill has polluted the anglo-american 'special relationship' - you know, what with bp being a 'british' company 'n all. well, well...i'm sure that my esteemed 'n educated readers (tom and dick) will have spotted straight-off that bp plc is, in reality, a multi-national enterprise which trades shares on stock-markets around the globe, and, after a cursory blink at the company's &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BP"&gt;wikipedia entry&lt;/a&gt;, they will have realized, like i, that &lt;em&gt;supernova&lt;/em&gt; bp is a concern native to &lt;em&gt;iran&lt;/em&gt; - a fact which may go an awful long way towards explaining president obama's current &lt;em&gt;hostile&lt;/em&gt; relationship with this slimy shower's board of directors, despite their generous donations to democratic party funds, and the fact that roughly 40% of the shareholders are americans (the other 60% being split 40:20 between britons and penguins respectively). to be fair, this ownership-profile reveals bp as the mother-cunt-fucking epitome of the incestuous relationship between the united states and great britain. anyway, even though bp's tax-return is basically paying the guy's wages, obama still persists with the view that the blotch formerly known as the anglo-persian oil company is actually a british sub-branch of &lt;em&gt;al qaeda&lt;/em&gt; - a view which, as it turns out, is &lt;em&gt;totally&lt;/em&gt; incorrect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as regular &lt;em&gt;spark up!&lt;/em&gt; readers will undoubtedly have guessed, the origins of the &lt;em&gt;deepwater horizon &lt;/em&gt;cowboy-plumbing extravaganza are &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; to be found in &lt;em&gt;iran&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;nor&lt;/em&gt; in &lt;em&gt;alaska&lt;/em&gt; (where bp last dumped), &lt;em&gt;nor&lt;/em&gt; indeed in bp's super-downsized health and safety department (which is rumoured to consist of an ancient and yellowing no-smoking notice informally blu-tacked to the door of a deserted shack located someplace in death valley, california), but are to be discovered on mr obama's very own doorstep, in downtown kingston, jamaica, at the official residence of president spudus of the unknown underworld. &lt;em&gt;spark up!&lt;/em&gt; special investigators have ascertained that the strange fuse of occurrences, which alledgedly lit the explosion in the gulf, began when the president was on vacation in miami, florida, and elected to pull into an amoco (bp) gas station with the simple and honest intention of tanking-up his swanky customized sports-utility-vehicle (bumper force one) with some of their high-grade merchandise. it apparently all kicked-off when, president spudus, being the man of breeding that he is, decided it appropriate to compliment the somewhat over-qualified lady-cashier upon the amplitude of her burgeoning bosoms - however it instantly transpired that the beleaguered buxomized black beauty did not require further endorsement of her upholstery beyond the 1088 lovingly crafted commendations which she had already received on that very day alone, and reading the premonitions in his palm's-eye, brazenly grabbed his bills (to pre-empt premature palpitation), but blankly refused to give him the nectar points he desired on his bp ultimate club key tag, a situation which distressed the president greatly, as he was very fond of collecting the maximum possible number of loyalty points for his account.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on returning to his homeland, the president retired to his conical office and pondered the irritating incident which had cast a shadow over his break in the subject states - and upon reflection, he decided that, he had, in all likelihood, over-stepped the mark on the breast-front, and had, in all ignorance, probably breached local custom and traditional protocol regarding such occasions, and holding this thought firmly in his head, the president took it upon himself, following all the correct procedures and channels, to contact the chief executive of bp, make full his apology and, in the process, hopefully get his nectar points re-instated. as one would expect, when dealing with a person of such lowly status as mr tony hayward, the commuting time for emails was rather lengthy, nevertheless, after a few months, the president was eventually rewarded with a reply - unfortunately, the language of the message was rather rude, and addressed neither the offended bust-matter, nor the summarily withheld nectar points. the president, being a reasonable and mild-tempered fellow, made one last attempt to resolve the cultural misunderstanding, and despatched a final proposition, wherein he detailed that, if the traumatized lady in question would care to accept, by way of apology, an expensive candlelit dinner for two at a classy oceanside miami grille, he would be quite agreable to receiving one of those jazzy green 'n yella bp t-shirts as commensurate compensation for his elusive nectar points - particularly as the garment's colour scheme reminded the president of his own national flag. tragically, mr hayward plumped to respond in the most brusque of manners - opining that he didn't 'give a fancy-fuck about some two-bit amoco attendant's humongous hooters' or how they felt, and also ventured to suggest that the logo-design of the shirt would not 'show off' the president's 'delightfully dark skin tone' to its 'best advantage'. naturally, as readers can only imagine, the president was devastated by the chief executive's etiquettical cataclysm, but chose, in that peculiar jamaican way, to keep his thoughts to himself (namely, that mr hayward's public relations advisor would definitely benefit from rapid retraining from the contents of a mac-10 machine-pistol magazine). i daresay i need hardly mention that, on the following morning, the president took out his speedboat for a long leisurely fishing-trip, happened, during his cruise, upon a conveniently sited semi-submersible offshore exploratory drilling rig (owned by bp), stopped to nyam on his jerk-chicken lunch, got into jovial conversation with some of the oilfield-workers on the platform, and carelessly flicked the butt of a blazing spliff down the main drillshaft. the rest, i believe, is history - and quite a costly mess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for the reasons outlined above, i would explain to mr obama, were i ever to have that &lt;em&gt;extremely&lt;/em&gt; dubious pleasure, that 99% of britons have about as much in common with bp plc as they have with a suitcase jammed-out with 100 billion dollars' worth of semi-hard us currency. furthermore, i sincerely hope that this unfortunate little turn of events will not deter michelle from doing t with the queen, as t says he always enjoys these parties immensely. as for the upcoming soccer match between the usa and england, i trust and pray that junior ball-boy cameron picks the football out of the net &lt;em&gt;less&lt;/em&gt; times than chief ball-boy obama - because, as an englishman, but a fairly flippant soccer fan, i deeply resent obaman-cia interference in the political process of the country where i have washed up. &lt;em&gt;spark up's&lt;/em&gt; prediction? that the &lt;em&gt;special relationship&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;bp&lt;/em&gt; have suffered a fatal farcical stroke of rotten luck.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203811641261664955-5422095926519181015?l=sparkedoff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/feeds/5422095926519181015/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5203811641261664955&amp;postID=5422095926519181015&amp;isPopup=true' title='22 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/5422095926519181015'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/5422095926519181015'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/2010/06/spark-up-exclusive-bp-blowpipe.html' title='&lt;em&gt;spark up!&lt;/em&gt;

when flying the nest of africa in the quest for world colonization) and was allegedly 'encouraged' in his quest to blow his bollocks off with a roman candle...but in all probability it was due to the fact that:-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yemen"&gt;&lt;i&gt;on orders from President Barack Obama, US warplanes fired cruise missiles at what officials in Washington claimed were Al Qaeda training camps in the provinces of Sana’a and Abyan on December 17, 2009. Other reports suggest that the airstrikes were carried out by Yemeni Mig-29 aircraft, probably helped by US intelligence, or that cruise missiles were launched from warships offshore. Officials in Yemen said that the attacks claimed the lives of more than 60 civilians, 28 of them children. Another airstrike was carried out on December 24.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;from wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, 7th january 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i daresay, umar farouk abdulmutallab was treated most hospitably by his friends in yemen, and, shunned by the americanized-society into which he was born, felt irretrievably provoked when american missiles gate-crashed those same dear friends' family homesteads.  perhaps mr abdulmutallab was also flying high on &lt;i&gt;qat&lt;/i&gt; when he sought to make &lt;i&gt;his&lt;/i&gt; grand exit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...and finally we come to the united kingdom of great britain &amp; northern ireland - where, in the capital city of london, mr abdulmutallab is believed to have been recruited by the mythical &lt;i&gt;al qaeda&lt;/i&gt; (less an actual organisation, more a label slapped by americans on any group or individual opposed to the western hegemony).  indeed, many members of the united states' administration are currently expressing deep concerns over the islamo-fertility of british soil - yet the islamic fundamentalism which flourishes here is mainly due to the fact that, in keeping with obaman theology, we religiously shit on muslims and the communities in which they put down their roots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;one would expect, then, american marines to begin parachuting into hyde park at any moment?  but they won't, of course - for the united states of america has been gradually taking executive-control of our green and gullible land for many years, and it's all over now, bar aretha franklin singing &lt;i&gt;the star-spangled banner&lt;/i&gt; at the state opening of parliament.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*************************************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;how did i formulate this brash theory?  here are some of my personal experiences - feel free to join the dots:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a few years back, after i had started to publish work on the internet, i was approached by a schoolmistress who, it transpires, had personal and political affiliations with david lammy, member of parliament for tottenham &amp; minister of state for higher education &amp; intellectual property.  this woman enjoyed engaging me in political discussion, primarily on the subject of education and she later turned out to be an avid obama campaigner.  after a couple of months our paths parted and we never met again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;from around the time i met the schoolteacher, my mobile telephone was bugged - with the result that my movements were tracked and &lt;i&gt;all&lt;/i&gt; my conversations, both on and off the phone, were subject to surveillance.  in addition, computers which i was in the habit of using were also hacked into.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;also during this period, i telephoned an ex-colleague, who is a civil servant and who has links with tottenham - we had not met for many years, but she was able to quote excerpts from pieces which i had written on a blog.  she gave no explanation for doing this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i was next befriended by several different women, all of whom i am now certain to have been involved in this snooping and aware of exactly what i was writing on-line.  one of these 'agents', a british nigerian, hinted that she wanted me to comment on the &lt;i&gt;guido fawkes&lt;/i&gt; website - she must have been closely associated with jocelyn jee esien, since an idea of mine, which i sent to her in a text message, appeared in the second series of &lt;i&gt;little miss jocelyn&lt;/i&gt;.  jocelyn jee esien is a celebrity known to back president barack obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;another woman, who had strong links stateside, was aware of my intimate behaviour patterns, my blogging and appeared to have relationships with obama campaigners on both sides of the atlantic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;paul staines (owner of the &lt;i&gt;guido fawkes&lt;/i&gt; website) has well-documented connections to the central intelligence agency in the united states and was a keen supporter of the war in gaza, january 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;david lammy married into the british establishment (his portrait-artist wife, nicola green, daughter of professor malcolm green, former head of the national heart and lung institute, has had work commissioned by such illustrious names as hannah rothschild), he was educated at harvard university, is president obama's no.1 man in the united kingdom and is a fully signed-up member of the 'war on terror' - the chances of him &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; having cia connections are extremely small.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the people named above, or their close personal friends, have all had the opportunity to contact influential members of the conservative party via the &lt;i&gt;guido fawkes&lt;/i&gt; website - those whom i have met have tried to inform my political opinions and distract me from writing on the internet.  i have also received anonymous emails which aimed to communicate approval, or disapproval, of my actions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the &lt;i&gt;guido fawkes&lt;/i&gt; website and &lt;i&gt;messagespace&lt;/i&gt; (a blog-advertizing agency with which paul staines is affiliated) are owned by the same shady offshore company, global and general nominees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my conclusion: the cia have been covertly involved in british political blogging, and therefore in a position to manipulate british political thinking and policy, for some years.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203811641261664955-276467665461942037?l=sparkedoff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/feeds/276467665461942037/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5203811641261664955&amp;postID=276467665461942037&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/276467665461942037'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/276467665461942037'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/2010/01/operation-pussys-paw.html' title='operation pussy&apos;s paw'/><author><name>spark up</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00609844648021520806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__3SNwEdFvzA/S1zcOZz8p5I/AAAAAAAAAC8/PZtYgbt_2sw/S220/su1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203811641261664955.post-3686550209925058246</id><published>2009-12-18T05:48:00.014Z</published><updated>2010-09-23T01:39:17.239+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the special relationship'/><title type='text'>dear dave</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;despite maintaining a healthy official firebreak between your party and the uk's most popular political blog, it's now common knowledge that the &lt;em&gt;guido fawkes&lt;/em&gt; website is a valued tool of the conservative party - prized tory property in which the upper echelons take both a secret pride and great interest, due mainly to the high level of political, economic and sociological analysis which crams out the comments sections and which is consumed obsessively by the cream of right-wing intelligensia.  indeed, dave, i am sure that you and your top advisors are in the habit of consulting &lt;em&gt;guido fawkes&lt;/em&gt;, together with other influential right-wing blogs, in order to inform your opinion and mould party strategy.  unfortunately, however, herein lies a serious problem - because, on behalf of &lt;em&gt;obama global and general slaughterhouses inc&lt;/em&gt;, a certain &lt;em&gt;little miss jocelyn&lt;/em&gt; has been busy renting office space on all the major right-of-centre blogs and shitting out her cuckoo policies with gay abandon...for you to incubate, hatch and rear in the warm cozy nest of conservative central office...all in connivance with her buddy, president obama's number one man in great britain, david lammy mp, minster of state for business, innovation and skills...who, it is evident, has been wantonly moonlighting, instead of concentrating his energies on his constituency and governmental duties.  so you see, i'm afraid you've been sold a dud dave - and the other david's been grooming you ready for the united states' president to take walkies...primarily to a war-crimes tribunal.  in a nutshell, you've been reading the &lt;em&gt;wrong&lt;/em&gt; stuff, dave - which probably explains why you currently advocate hunting down those deadly toddler &lt;em&gt;al qaeda&lt;/em&gt; cells which covertly operate amongst the infant populations of muslim nursery schools...which probably explains why you intend to deploy eco-friendly tanks and cruise missiles in helmund province...and which probably explains why you wish to massacre one half of afghanistan's children in the hope of encouraging the other half to train to become doctors and nurses...to found a cutting-edge health service in their brand spanking new democracy...or they could, of course, choose to go to america and work for peanuts reforming the united states' health-care system...as a special favour to president barack obama...and be grateful for the life-changing experience...it's a free world, ain't it dave?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well maybe you're already well aware of this situation, dave, and quite comfortable with it too...after all, some of your closest cabinet confidants have been enjoying the lascivious pleasures of paul staines' notorious &lt;em&gt;guido fawkes&lt;/em&gt; orgies, so i hear...and getting on fucking famously with &lt;em&gt;little miss jocelyn's&lt;/em&gt; foxy sistas...in fact, they've all apparently ended up becoming quite intimate...and why not?  let's big-up the technicolor dawn of a new age of multi-cultural conservatism as it flourishes unabashed in the fertile soil of this great and tolerant land where black and white are afforded an equal opportunity to hate the guts of muslims with all their hearts and minds and souls...not to mention their god-given might (especially the persuaders of fundamental christianity).  tragically tho', dave, whilst no doubt being boosted by the fanatical emotional support of your cliquey cabal of fresh-found black extremist friends and finding faux-comfort in the cool companionship of your communal small-mindedness, i fear that you fail to appreciate the supreme nonchalance with which these deviant jokers let you and your kind send out ignorant white boys to slay innocent muslim civilians...and also their smugness on observing those same white boys returned home in ceremonial, nay celebratory, coffins - because, let's face it, slavery is, as yet, neither forgotten nor forgiven...saddam hussein was not renowned for his prominence as a stand-up comedian, so heed carefully his final dictum that western civilization would founder in the wastes of arabia - and remember that it would not only be &lt;em&gt;he&lt;/em&gt; who would view with satisfiction that particular outcome...who knows...perhaps even obama himself is not averse to watching his honour-killing child-murdering christian soldiers leading us over the lip of the abyss...?  and isn't the swag-president just as much a crack-pot christo-cuntric crusader as blair, or lammy, or our own dear &lt;em&gt;little miss jocelyn&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yes dave, do the citizens of this country really pray for the members of yet another political family to cower under state police protection for the rest of their 'natural' lives?  we certainly don't want to pay for it - of that i can assure you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so i suppose that's about it dave...and if it's achieved nothing else, at least this letter has established who's wearing the political trousers in the englishman's conservative castle...and oh...that reminds me dave...just one thing...i know the queen gave you an introduction into conservative central office - did she swing the first-class honours degree for you too...?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;your ever humble peasant&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;spark up&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ps: riddle me this...how much do you know about the close associate of &lt;em&gt;guido fawkes&lt;/em&gt; who carries out phone-tapping and other illegal surveillance operations on political bloggers?  is he, or she, one of yours, one of the government's, one of lammy's, one of obama's, one of &lt;em&gt;little miss jocelyn's&lt;/em&gt;, or one of staines'?  or are all you perverted buggers at it?  you know, it must be christmas.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203811641261664955-3686550209925058246?l=sparkedoff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/feeds/3686550209925058246/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5203811641261664955&amp;postID=3686550209925058246&amp;isPopup=true' title='17 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/3686550209925058246'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/3686550209925058246'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/2009/12/dear-dave.html' title='dear dave'/><author><name>spark up</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00609844648021520806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__3SNwEdFvzA/S1zcOZz8p5I/AAAAAAAAAC8/PZtYgbt_2sw/S220/su1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>17</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203811641261664955.post-3653162722042709662</id><published>2009-12-18T01:41:00.007Z</published><updated>2009-12-18T02:33:23.288Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='royal doulton only please'/><title type='text'>dearest t</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;given that you do &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt;

And this, the election of Barack Obama to the office of the most powerful person in the world, is one such moment where my facility for words can never, should probably never, capture what it is that is going on in my heart. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't think I even know what is going on in my heart. But as I left the shores of the United States on Monday night – where everyone's nerves were on show – and although I have always maintained cautious optimism when it came to believing in Barack's success, I found myself having to rebuke those nerves and hold onto the mantra, the now iconic mantra, "Yes we can". And yes we did. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ran about my house at 4am, as I screamed and woke my children to the chant, "We have a black president". We? Who is we? I honestly thought that I may have been going mad – for the tears and the screaming just would not stop. No matter how much I tried to calm myself it just would not stop and I thought I was going to go insane with joy and pride as I hugged my 12-year-old son and he said, "Dad, we have a black president"; and as my 16-year-old son asked if I believed that would happen in my lifetime and I replied, "Yes, the moment I heard Obama's 2004 speech in Boston"; and as I listened to my daughter, full of sleep, say "I need to go to an Obama party". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knew that deep in my heart, despite all my words, that maybe I didn't quite ever believe that I would see this day. But now I have – my only sadness is that his mother and father, and my mother, were not here to see this. What a day, what a sleepless day, but a magnificent day.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and so now the first black president has proved himself to be a dirty double-talking war-criminal, where's the criticism wanker?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203811641261664955-3740698650798340314?l=sparkedoff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/feeds/3740698650798340314/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5203811641261664955&amp;postID=3740698650798340314&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/3740698650798340314'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/3740698650798340314'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/2009/08/in-footsteps-of-trevor-phillips-kwame.html' title='slurping in the slime-trail of trevor phillips: kwame kwei-armah gets lost up love&apos;s blind alley'/><author><name>spark up</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00609844648021520806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__3SNwEdFvzA/S1zcOZz8p5I/AAAAAAAAAC8/PZtYgbt_2sw/S220/su1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203811641261664955.post-1576396936065926492</id><published>2009-08-15T15:08:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-08-15T15:13:36.526+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the irresponsive pill'/><title type='text'>the welfare state: bromide of the people</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;turns off society&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203811641261664955-1576396936065926492?l=sparkedoff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/feeds/1576396936065926492/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5203811641261664955&amp;postID=1576396936065926492&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/1576396936065926492'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/1576396936065926492'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/2009/08/welfare-state-bromide-of-people.html' title='the welfare state: bromide of the people'/><author><name>spark up</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00609844648021520806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__3SNwEdFvzA/S1zcOZz8p5I/AAAAAAAAAC8/PZtYgbt_2sw/S220/su1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203811641261664955.post-6695731517045481486</id><published>2009-08-15T13:58:00.008+01:00</published><updated>2009-08-15T15:08:34.689+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jerry advokat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='christo-centric'/><title type='text'>celebrity nothing but the truth</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;i wonder whether obama-worshipping celebrities like jocelyn jee esien and chris rock were &lt;em&gt;duped&lt;/em&gt;

"worst nightmare", but also the "worst nightmare" of every &lt;em&gt;little boy&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;little girl&lt;/em&gt; living, or dying, in helmund province, afghanistan - and forgive my cynicism, but one is hard-pushed to believe that the ultra-quick-witted chris rock was ignorant of the contribution which he was implicitly making to the coffins of obama's &lt;em&gt;real-death&lt;/em&gt;

humourless delivery of ordonance and worldly war-mongering words, i was rudely reminded of one of his british born girl-guards, &lt;a href="http://hackneypost.co.uk/?p=2308"&gt;jocelyn esien&lt;/a&gt;, who is, by-and-large, equally witless wotless and dependent on other people's material - which she slyly sub-sources and shamelessly passes off as her own original work.  but leaving aside the murky state of miss esien's professional ethicity (rumours about which have surely led to her credentials as a writer coming under question and her &lt;em&gt;little miss jocelyn&lt;/em&gt; series sliding soundlessly from bbc schedules), i would prefer to concentrate my ire on more serious affairs - jocelyn esien's emotional support for the casual killer of humanity, families and children, president barack obama, the american warhead in afghanistan, and first black man to make a complete cunt of himself in the white house.  jocelyn esien ('jos jee' to her friends) is a remarkable actress with a veritable multiplication of personlities stashed in her walkabout wardrobe, yet she totally miscalculated when attempting to combine the role of celebrity political activist with conscious community support comedienne - this was just one face too many, i'm afraid.  you see miss esien wants to preen like a queen in her celebrity sheen whilst licking the sweet splash of obalma glamour off her brazen body before it has even shied from trickling down the crack in her pertinently bare ass - she wants to pose uncriticized against the christylized gun-crime poster whilst bigging-up the macho gangster-man-murderer mr barack hussein obama.  the seeping gang-blood of youth is really only a race-paint-prop for her carefully-staged career and her bank-rôle, playing a delinquently dark-hearted duo with the black-comedian-in-residence in the oval office, is no damn good example to impress on any succeeding ghetto generation - these two guys are actors, not models...and as the president continues to mercifully blast the unbleached brains out of young muslim girls who would otherwise have had to suffer a cruel lease of life without the benefit of a dog-standard democratic education, the hypocritical highlights of stars such as jocelyn jee esien will fade-to-dusk and be set to rest, fittingly, in the west wings of their horrific theatre of self-service.  her epitaph: &lt;em&gt;a latter-day leni riefenstahl, but not quite so funny&lt;/em&gt;.  don't get me wrong, when time is inevitably called, i don't wish to see this bitter-barking talent put up against the wall and mown-down along with her 'muse', president obama, and accompliced terrorists mr anthony blair, prime minister gordon brown, and mr george w bush (one should make allowances for dozy feminists like miss esien), no, if justice is properly served, she will find herself in a dim dingy cell, her big gob locked-down for 24-hours-a-day between the concert-pitched thighs of a certain ms condoleeza rice, paying customary lip-service - although i fear she might well enjoy the strictures of this sanction just &lt;em&gt;a little bit too much&lt;/em&gt;...well...one can but dream...for the meantime, i don't expect jocelyn esien to spew the obamatic bile of any projectile presidential satire our way anytime soon - the best we can hope for is probably some lame-gummed sketch about the white hand not knowing who the black one is feeling up...although this is a great pity as she could get away with (illegitemately harvested) lines of a more assassinatory nature on the fringe-boards.  what we definitely can't expect is a true exposition of united states foreign policy - for example, the freewheeling vision of a perma-grin president obama bouncing an afghan baby's head off george bush's chest, dribbling it through hilary clinton's splayed legs, and slam-dunking it into osama bin laden's upturned throat...can we?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;update:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it appears that &lt;em&gt;the hackney post&lt;/em&gt; are conniving with jocelyn jee esien in an attempt to airbrush her infamous obama quote from history - so here it is for posterity:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Despite this foray into femininity, Esien credits her comedy career to a series of male muses: Jerry Lewis, Steve Martin, Jim Carrey, Eddie Murphy, and one Barack Obama. “&lt;strong&gt;President&lt;/strong&gt; Obama,” she corrects herself quickly. “I feel disrespectful when I say Barack. He has really, really, really inspired me. I’m pretending he’s my prime minister but he lives in another country.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203811641261664955-5499790291357805422?l=sparkedoff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/feeds/5499790291357805422/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5203811641261664955&amp;postID=5499790291357805422&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/5499790291357805422'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203811641261664955/posts/default/5499790291357805422'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sparkedoff.blogspot.com/2009/07/jocelyn-jee-esien-bombs-for-obama.html' title='jocelyn jee esien bombs for obama'/><author><name>spark up</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00609844648021520806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__3SNwEdFvzA/S1zcOZz8p5I/AAAAAAAAAC8/PZtYgbt_2sw/S220/su1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry></feed>
