New Shirt Badge for England Football Team

Nice to see that England captain John Terry is playing (away) again in his favourite position....

Do you have anything in your diary this week, Tony?

Poster Boy

Lilith has posted a link to a website that lets you produce your own version of the infamous airbrushed David Cameron poster.

So this is my contribution....

I had been worried that there weren't going to be the opportunities for mocking the government when the Conservatives are elected to power. Let's be honest, the Labour front bench are as ugly as a box of frogs and have been a gift for those of us who like to - ahem - enhance their looks, courtesy of Photoshop.

However, as long as there are idiots working for David Cameron who think that nobody will notice the heavy use of a Gaussian Blur filter on a picture of the future Prime Minister, there will always be opportunities for people like me to ridicule the new government.

Especially if their only policies so far seem to be the introduction of more "green taxes."

Update - we're all at it! Here are the creations of Electro-Kevin, Idle, Fleet of Worlds and Big Rab.

One Year on

And Americans wake up to what they elected as a President.

It won't seem the same

I dread to think what the company that brought us cheese in a spray can will do to Cadbury, but I think I can guess.

Nice to hear that Cadbury, a long-term client of RBS, 84% owned by the British taxpayer, was only told at the last minute that RBS would be backing Kraft's takeover bid with a £630 million loan.

Another rather grumpy old gentleman has been thinking along the same lines. I recommend a visit to his blog!

FBI issues new photo of Bin Laden

The FBI have issued a new photo of how Osama Bin Laden might look in 2010.

After the outcry that followed the FBI's use of Spanish politician, Gaspar Llamazares' face, in the original photo, the FBI have said that they are "totally convinced" that this is how Bin Laden might look today.

A spokesman said "we based the look on someone who has been worn down by being hated in every country around the world for many years. Someone who has spent long periods of time in a cave or a bunker and who, in recent times, has become increasingly paranoid about threats against his leadership. We wanted a look that suggested someone who was totally exhausted and demoralised by all his recent failures and who knew that defeat was just weeks away. "

Gordon Brown is 58.

UPDATED: The latest intelligence is that Osama has lost his moustache but still has a beard.

Sarah Brown is 46.

Updated at last

I ran this item (when I blogged under another name) in December 2007.

It's taken a while but now Peter Watt is getting his revenge for being Labour's fall guy.

The Mail on Sunday and Daily Mail are serialising Peter Watt's new book (published by Iain Dale) that lays bare the complete incompetence of Gordon Brown.

It really hasn't been a good week for Gordon, has it?

And here's to you, Mrs Robinson...

For my New Year Resolutions List, I had thought that being kinder to politicians with all their little failings might be a nice step.

So it's probably just as well that I'm not that nice....

Look sharp!

Are you looking for a really useful present for someone close to you?

For just £19.95, you can have the all-new Labour Party knife sharpener - as recommended by Geoff Hoon and Patricia Hewitt.

Comes with a free knife (as illustrated) but be quick while stocks last - these are going to be very popular over the next few weeks!

More snow!

Interesting that we seem to be having the coldest winter for 100 years, so soon after the Copenhagen Climate Conference...

New Year - New Image

Having been voted the worst-dressed man in Britain and with rumours about his sexuality that just wouldn't go away, Gordon decided to change his image in 2010.

Harriett Harman

"Harriett Harman is to be the face of Labour's General Election campaign."

Says it all, doesn't it?

Have you seen this man?

It's only the first day of the year and a Labour Minister has managed to alienate the whole of the UK Police force.

In a surprise move for an election year, Jack Straw has accused the police of being lazy. And nobody knows more about laziness than politicians, eh?

Jack Straw's new book "How to win friends and influence people" is now available from a Poundland store near you.
