Now we know that Gadaffi is f**ked






It seems that Colonel Gadaffi's personal nurse Galyna Kolotnytska has decided to go back to the Ukraine.

Hard to imagine what he saw in her, isn't it?

UPDATE

I don't know why I bother with carefully Photoshopped images and attempts at humour....I have just checked my Google Analytics for the past week and my hits have increased by a factor of twenty times because of these photos!

Nick Clegg forgot he was running the country


"Um.....should I be somewhere else?"

Nick Clegg has admitted he forgot he was in charge of the country while David Cameron was on a tour of the Middle East flogging weapons to Arab dictators promoting peace in the region.

Jim Devine declared bankrupt




Still, it's not all bad news for the former Labour MP who was recently found guilty of defrauding the taxpayer.

Very soon he'll be able to enjoy free board and lodging - entirely at the taxpayers' expense!

Even a dictator is judged by the company he keeps


From the Daily Mail 5 June 2010:

Tony Blair has become an adviser to Colonel Gaddafi, the Libyan dictator's son has sensationally claimed.

Saif al-Islam Gaddafi said the former prime minister has secured a consultancy role with a state fund that manages the country's £65billion of oil wealth.

In an exclusive interview, Saif described Mr Blair as a 'personal family friend' of the Libyan leader and said he had visited the country 'many, many times' since leaving Downing Street three years ago.

Happy Birthday Gordon!


Today is Gordon Brown's 60th birthday.

So to commemorate the person who has done more than any other to put Britain where it is today, the Bank of England will issue a special bank note in his honour.

Many happy returns, Gordon!

It was fifty years ago today




That The Beatles first performed at The Cavern Club.

As a sometime resident of Liverpool who grew up and was educated in this great city it would be a shame not to note this anniversary. Radio 4 tells us that The Beatles are worth £48 million in tourist business to the city each year. And every year.

So here are my few degrees of separation from this story:

Many years ago while riding down Woolton Hill in Liverpool on my motorbike, I saw Yoko Ono standing by the gates in front of Strawberry Fields, with her son Sean, whilst being photographed by the press.

This is the same road that is the view in the opening scene from the film "Nowhere Boy" by Sam Taylor-Wood (which I can recommend.)

The person who arranged the purchase of Auntie Mimi's house where John Lennon grew up on behalf of the National Trust was a friend who was a year behind me in school.

Whilst on a night out on the piss big style a cultural tour of Liverpool with some friends from University, we ran into Allan Williams in a pub in Matthew Street who - for the price of a pint would tell you all about his early days with The Beatles.

The drummer for The Beatles at this time (who you can't really see in this photo) is Pete Best. His cousin is one of our best friends.

Spooky?

Not really....Liverpool has always been just a big village.

Nice to know that the Fab Four are still being celebrated fifty years on.

Speaker's wife photographed wearing only a bed sheet


And now The Speaker has been photographed wearing only a pillow case.

Is there anything this ghastly couple will not do to attract publicity for themselves?

New Crime Map of Britain reveals worst addresses for crime

click to enlarge

An online crime map of towns in the UK has been launched by the Home Office. The website offers people a chance to see how many criminals operate in certain areas. When the site is fully operational, local crime statistics will be available.

Not surprisingly, many of the most deprived inner city areas show the highest levels of crimes against the person and petty theft. Breaking and entering and theft of motor vehicles also feature prominently in large metropolitan areas.

However, the postcodes with the highest incidence of fraud and long-term embezzlement of public funds have been shown to be SW1A 0AA and SW1A 0PW where two notorious criminal syndicates called "The Commons" and "The Lords" are known to operate.

Some of the gang members are currently facing trial and one is already in prison, but it is believed several hundred more have managed to avoid prosecution by using the defence, "Everyone was doing it, now stop wasting my time with these silly questions - you're only jealous."
