There's always a first time for everything


In May 1907 Captain Edward John Smith having steered the fastest of the White Star Line fleet, RMS Adriatic, across the Atlantic on her maiden voyage, was moved to say;

"When anyone asks me how I can best describe my experience in nearly forty years at sea, I merely say, uneventful. Of course there have been Winter gales, and storms and fog and the like. But in all my experience, I have never been in an accident . . . or any sort worth speaking about. I have seen but one vessel in distress in all my years at sea. I never saw a wreck and have never been wrecked nor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to end in disaster of any sort."

Five years later Captain Smith took command of the Titanic.

The Artful Dodger

Thankfully it looks like Londoners are in no mood to give Red Ken a second bash at Mayor as he slips further behind Boris in the polls for this years election. 

One of the main reasons they kicked Livingstone into the long grass at the last election is that quite simply the majority of decent hard working people in the capital finally woke up after eight years and realised they were being shafted while Livingstone pandered to a minority of corrupt, left wing, communist loving bullshitters. 

Since being booted out of office it transpires Livingstones' political conscience has wandered somewhat. Normally someone who would despise the wealthy finding ways to avoid paying taxes, the former Mayor himself has been routinely avoiding paying the full 40% tax on his fees for media appearances and public speaking. He reassures voters if he is re elected this time then this rather convenient arrangement would no longer be necessary.  

Now there's a vote winner

Spirit of Hypocrisy


The current Labour Leaders media machine would not appear to have learned any lessons from the catastrophic days of the Brown regime. 

Cancelling Ed's NHS gig on the grounds of feeling ill then turning up full of beans at a Hull City football match - in the Chairmans Rolls Royce ! Priceless.

Priceless

NHS gender re-assignment techniques had advanced significantly these days - so it seems. When an 18 yr old 6ft 13st transsexual manages to convince staff at HSBC in Sleaford, Lincolnshire that she is in fact the 5ft 5" 8st pneumatically enhanced model Katie Price - well you just have to applaud the wonders of modern surgical procedures. 

Seemingly a wig and a pair of sunglasses were all it needed to complete the look and enable Kevin Kerry Marshall to fraudulently withdraw £2500 from Price's bank account.
