As if anyone needs reminding . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I'm a celebrity . . . Get me out of here

Some consolation that the ban on competing in Paralympic sport will last for the duration of the 5 year sentence and in a years time when in all likelihood the remaining 4 years will be served under house arrest - that should at least prevent the inevitable flood of TV reality show offers.

Yes . . . Yes . . . Yes

Milibands biggest fan

Len McCluskey gets passionate about Eds' return to socialism, ditching the Blairites and the prospect of the unions holding the country to ransom once again.

Heads I win . . tails you lose

So Miliband is to give trade union members the choice to ‘opt in’ to donating £3 to the Labour Party.

This is revolutionary by all accounts and would reverse a centuries old process whereby union members seemingly had £3 automatically deducted from their wage packet to be siphoned off to Labour HQ and in the process, like it or not, they became an affiliate member of the party. That is unless members exercised their right to ‘opt out’ of doing so.

So why didn’t they?

Call me cynical but I suspect the process of ‘opting out’ in the prehistoric world Len McCluskey et al live in - is deemed act of betrayal akin to crossing a picket line. Life I imagine would be pretty intimidating on the shop floor for those bold enough to express the belief that union membership does not assume unqualified support for the Labour Party. So they didn't. That’s how unions work and how tossers like Red Len command their £100K+ salaries

Edward Snowdens' choice of 'safe' countries was always limited for him to avoid a very lenghty chunk of his life behind bars back in the USA.  No doubt the irony will not be lost on him that in the countries he has used so far en route to Ecuador - a 'whistleblower' would almost certainly be a very dead one long before they even contemplated how to get to the airport and what they might want to say to a sympathetic hack.

It's long overdue

After the left wing legal establishment has gorged itself on the Woolwich 2 there really is only one way to deal with them . . . . . . . . . surely?

Shameless Clegg

I admit skiing is not what you'd call a cheap holiday but it's hardly the exclusive territory of the super rich elite. I'd go as far as to say if you're raking in £60K p/a on benefits sitting on your arse doing fuck all - it's quite an affordable luxury by anyones standards. 

Even shameless Mick could have stretched to a week on the piste and some resorts these days may well accomodate the odd ménage à trois and a bit of dogging thrown in for good measure. Can't imagine the Daily Mirror would have followed him all the way to the slopes to get a photo of a benefits scrounger on their front page. 

Let's see if the Mirror has the same appetite for stalking members of the Shadow Cabinet on holiday this year.
