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.  

It takes two . . . . . . . . .

I've killed Taliban

Did anyone honestly believe he was there to do anything else ? 

And now the weather . . . . . . . . . .

Picture the scene right now - North Face jackets flying as the stampede of 'journalists' heads to the South West and Midlands all praying the very worst of the snow lands on top of them and their film crews.

Brace yourselves viewers - you have been warned

I'm no fan of reality TV and that's putting it mildly. I still don't know what possessed me to spend 30 minutes of my life watching ITV's latest excuse, morbid fascination probably. Celebrity diving . . . . What ? . . . . .  How ? . . . . . .  Who ? 

I feel ashamed, slightly dirty for even daring to take a peak at this road kill masquerading as Saturday night entertainment for the masses. Even in his worst nightmares Seb Coe could never have imagined that the Team GB pin up boy of London 2012 could possibly hope to inspire a generation to take up his sport by fronting a dog of a programme like this.

When they weren't howling with laughter between the eye watering belly flops the only tangible message throughout this programme for the viewers was to stuff their faces with pizza - Dominos Pizza - did I mention they sponsor the programme ?

At this rate don't bank on Tom Daley improving on his Bronze in four years time. 


Happy New Year by the way
