Iraq War Enquiry - Tony Blair will blame everything on George W Bush

Hat tip to that most excellent blogger Scroblene Webley Bullock who first noted the growing similarity in appearance between the iconic figure from "Mad" magazine, Alfred E Neuman and the iconic figure from "War Criminal Monthly", Tony Blair.

Things can only get better - the non-colour specific Christmas stamp

One of the great changes in society that we have seen under Nu-Labour has been the rise and rise of "political correctness."

This Christmas, I wanted to come up with a stamp that could not offend anyone by making specific reference to the race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, height, weight or nationality* of the people who you see on the stamp. That's why it has no colour showing at all.

There isn't even a 1st or 2nd class designation on the stamp - so that pikeys poor people cannot possibly take offence.

In the spirit of the age, I am furthermore delighted to tell you that the two men on the right-hand side are in a long-term civil partnership, all the presents brought are strictly Fair Trade and the two-legged donkey on the left is a lesbian.

Happy Holidays!

The EU sends a message to Tony Blair

The first in an occasional series - "Things can only get better"

The Post Office Lakelander is delighted to announce the release of a series of stamps that will reflect the advancement of society since the Labour party took power in 1997.

The first of these stamps commemorates the relaxation of drinking laws in 2005 as two British mingers beauties enjoy some well-deserved libation at the end of a busy week claiming Job Seekers Allowance. Note the tab of E on the tongue of the brunette on the left.

This is just one of the many Labour policies that has been such a success.

Gordon takes up jogging

Holly Johnson would be proud....

I know this is hard to believe, but we were both members of the same punk club in Liverpool, called Eric's.

The dive in question was just across the way from that rather better-known Matthew Street establishment "The Cavern Club", as so wonderfully blogged in recent times by my good friend Trubes. Her blogs on this era are seriously recommended reading.

The one really disturbing fact that I've spotted in this photo is that Gordon appears to have picked as a bodyguard a descendant of Jake the Peg.

Alan Johnson denies drug policy is in crisis

Home Secretary Alan Johnson has denied that the government's policy on drugs is in crisis, following his sacking of Professor David Nutt.
