One world government lead by … Goldman Sachs.

Vampire Squid – aka Goldman Sachs

What used to be a debating point reserved  for the tin-foil hat brigade, the theme of one world government seems to be gaining ground in (slightly) more mainstream places.

Firstly, this extract from a great piece by Mike Krieger over at ZeroHedge (it is worth a [...]

What on earth is “charged with improper use of a social networking site”?

Aside from the catch all offence of “incitement to or of X” which seems to be a favourite of our thin skinned society, I am left wondering exactly what the hell is “charged with improper use of a social networking site”?

Coming from the BBC, I suppose it is probably more to do with [...]

Greece demonstrating the wrong kind of democracy.

Via ZeroHedge, a very salient point regarding our wonderful leaders and their views on democracy :

If a leader in the Middle East finally gave into months of protest and decided to give the people a real say on an important issue, the Western leaders would be rejoicing. Obama would have a podium and [...]

Who wouldn’t want one of these?

I’ll take the smoking version.

I wonder if it likes salt on it’s food as well just to annoy the bansturbators?

The long arm of the nanny state reaches inside the pub.

The Wasp has an Estonian visitor this week which is why it has been a little quiet around here for the last few days.

Last night while visiting a few of the local pubs my friend picked up a beer mat (see first image below) and said why do you have these weird health [...]

Guardian journalist learns the difference between racists and angry white shopkeepers.

An amusing one spotted amongst the Telegraphs London Riots Live Coverage feed :

To work for the Guardian these days (and Telegraph for that matter) you have to assume that every confrontation between white and black is racism :

Note the “racist thugs” identifier helpfully added by The Telegraph when the Tweet says no [...]

The depressing banality of life in the UK.

After three weeks totally away from the news, the trivial and dumbed down nature of UK news and politics is quite apparent and possibly even more so than I thought whilst being immersed in it for so long. It really is amazing, to me at least,  how a break can change your viewpoint so [...]

Emergency Legislation on the way to allow sloppy policing.

As I suspected yesterday on the issue of the police use of bail as an illegal way of moulding the time limits on custody to suit their own inept investigation techniques, Police Minister Nick Herbert today promises emegency legislation to help out the state enforcers in their efforts to abuse the custody process to [...]

Police Bail and the PACE fiasco.

Have Greater Manchester Police made a rod for their own backs in going to court to appeal a ruling which appears to have caught them employing shady practices to get around the provisions of The Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE)?

Reporting the case, The Telegraph goes into frothy mouthed overdrive with a sub-headline [...]

The MSM wakes up to UK Government authoritarianism 9 months late.

Nice to see The Telegraph working out just how much our government spies on us even if it’s a full 9 months after The Waspsnest said exactly the same thing.

The Telegraph reporting today on the latest release from Google of government data requests :

Google report reveals British government web snooping The private [...]

Recommended safe limits for drinking alcohol by older people should be drastically cut, according to a [...]

The BBC avoids the issue whilst The Telegraph actually drops the A word in an article about young girls and sexual abuse.

Whilst The BBC in this article valiantly avoids reference to the ethnic background of the defendants in a messy little case, we at least get some clue as their names are all printed :

Teenage girls were treated as “sexual commodities to be sold or gifted”, a jury in a child prostitution trial has [...]

F*&$ me pink – Barnsley Police are going to need a lot more fixed penalty notices.

*£80? Gieorr with thee yer soft twat

Having worked in Barnsley for a lengthy period some years ago, I can safely say that they are going to need a metric fuckton of fixed penalty notices in June to complete this initiative :

Swearing in public could result in boisterous people being fined [...]

Spanish Riot Police demonstrating state sponsored thuggery.

Whilst the UK media seem determined to completely ignore the ongoing protests in Spain and elsewhere for that matter, the following two videos show exactly what happens when The State decides to send their paid thugs in to deal with the inconvenience of protesting citizens.
