"Before you resign Guv, can you just sign my expense sheet for last week."
Bishop Aitken said: "It is ridiculous having people go through your expenses claims. My parishoner, Mr Capone, was never even charged with firearms offences, but he had the revenue all over him, questioning his legitimate business expenses and charitable donations to needy young ladies. His imprisonment is a travesty of justice and I am confident that this enquiry will lead to a statue of me which compares favourably with that of Lady Heatha Macca."
As my old granny used to say: Set a thief to catch a thief... and ... it takes one to know one.
Ancient words of wisdom; plus ca change.. If Blair goes, will the one to replace him be any more honest/capable/competent?
If he goes I hope he's allowed to keep his braid-raddled cap and jacket - he seems to draw comfort from them, a bit like Richard Dreyfuss did in Moon over Parador.
Where there is Political involvement history shows Lies Corruption and Incompetence.
Dead right 9.10
Aitken gets jail job. More "Jobs for the Boys"
Can we have a Where's Aitken(tm) interactive map, so we can make sure what the sleazy bastard's up to?
Sleazy he may have been, but at least he did his bird,
where old mandy gets to stick his nose in the European gravy train.
When he should haave been sticking his nose in the cold English porridge train.
W.W.
I Get it!!!
They are using their old anti TONY Blair banners against SIR IAN Blair...
right...
They very fact that they use Amex - commission rates double the indutry norm - tells you all you need to know.
G.
shame he forgot that the name is spelt 'Bliar"
Sleazy he may have been, but at least he did his bird
Exactly. How many of these Zanulab muppets have their hands in the till and SHOULD be doing porridge?
Bliar, Prescott, Blunkett, Balls, Brown,............. the list is endless.
Perhaps certain people at the Yard didn't realise only MPs can claim huge amounts on expenses without any receipts to back it up...............
In the TV coverage Blair has a very self-satisfied, one could even say smug, air about him. The sooner he goes the better - organisational structural failures are his responsibility.
I suppose "Brown Out, Brown Out, Brown Out" would be too much like request for a national power failure than a protest to remove the bogey-chomping one.
That'll do nicely.
But beware, things always come in threes.
Forecast - sometime in the next 3 - 4 months, Blair will quietly slip away under the cover of another non-police crisis, having spent the time bargaining for a suitable pay-off.
The people in charge of such matters for each branch, department or directorate of this sad, tired and tawdry organisation are called "Finance & Resource Managers" - (FARMs). You've got to laugh, mind how you go!
Am I the only one who thinks that the massive influx of illegal immigrants is in some way linked to the fact that the home office has been licensing illegal immigrants to work on passport control at ports and airports?
Lets be charitable to New Labour MPs
They spend 18 or so years complaining passionately about the worse aspects of capitalism, government corruption, money inspired otherwise pointless wars, illiberal authoritarian overtly fascist laws, sexist and racist policy's designed to divide and rule, big business influencing if not running the government, crap public transport, crap NHS services, high house price inflation, a widening gap between the richest and the poorest, and on and on and on and on.
Only to find that the government they worked so hard for and waited so long to get into power. Is simply far worse the even their worst nightmares during the Thatcher years and plenty more on top and then some.
No wonder they try to cheer their now 'morally bankrupt otherwise unemployable selves' with a little criminal, 'finger in any pie they can find' action.
They have lost every single principle they justify their existence with. So lets give the poor misguided brainwashed criminals a little bit of human understanding.
A point about Aitken that so far I have not read anyone making.
Aitken was not convicted and sentenced to 18 months for lying to the public or selling arms to 3rd world dictators or for being a general upper class cunt of the highest degree.
He was convicted for lying to a crown court judge in a crown court. Which is not the public it is a representative of the queen working in a place owned by the queen.
If the system gave a flying fuck about the common tax paying citizen,(which is now all of us without exception) virtually every MP in parliament should be on a charge of criminal deception and fraud of the tax payer. For no other reason then the vast amount of expense account cons they nearly all get up to.
As for the lies they tell to get into power never mind the ones they tell when they are.
How about 100 lashes, 1 month in the stocks ,followed by 20 years hard labour and disqualification from holding a work permit or a passport for the rest of their not so natural lives.
If that don't stop the cunts steeling from the poor and hard working. A very very slow and very public hanging drawing and quartering, may do the trick.
But, I am sad to say, with our current political and judicial systems making daily love to each other, I doubt it.
The only people who will end up doing a later day William Wallace would be US. Just for complaining to much or too loudly, or simply for calling one of the gay.
BTW the cartoon is not real world in any sense.
Has anyone ever tried sanding outside New Scotland yard lately, never mind making any type of protest there?
You would be moved on by force or arrested on site.
The re-rise of Aitken amuses me mightily. Anything short of human rights abuses that upsets those sanctimonious, pi, priggish little moralising shits at the Grauniad will do me fine. If he recommends releasing all drug-related prisoners on early parole, thus upsetting the equally sanctimonious small-minded mediocrities that read (and write) the Mail as well, I will be grinning until about Whitsun 2008.
Atlas Shrugged:
Good point. Except the coloured guy wouldn't be arrested - he'd end with seven bullets in his head. Well, he does have a passing resemblance to a photofit of a terrorist....
Just for interest has anybody given blood lately to the transfusion service,you now have to make an appointment,hour and a half wait for me ,when the last time I was there straight in,I presume we have so many grateful immigrants giving blood they can now make giving blood appointments only
Rich and Mark are a bit late with this one

Surely sanding in public is illegal.
Atlas, hate to correct you, but Aitken did NOT lie to a Crown Court Judge in the Crown Court.
He lied to a High Court Judge in the High Court.
Helps to have our fact accurate, I'm sure you agree.

Hey! Don't you know that there's a war on terror on the go?! If I resign then there'll be instability in a time of terrible insecurity and danger.
Of course, all the pundits have declared that this war will last for a whole generation. This means that I can be as incompetent as I like, cover up the truth, smear dead Brazilians and let my boys fiddle the expenses as much as they like. My ticket lasts for 25 years or even more! I have a carte blanche for corruption and fuck-wittage such as no man ever knew.
Furtermore, don't you realise that if I go the pressure will pile up for a senior policeman who actually does more than move on issues of diversity?! Spin will be grossly undervalued and murders in Soham will go over-reported. Never mind, of course, that that Huntley character should have been sussed out before he even took the job. I'm not responsible for the police checks. If I had my way I'd have shot some South American during the enquiry into this over-reported trivia and we'd all have been happy.
So, let me stay on, despite my incompetence, in case you get something worse a la Hillaire Belloc. As for Cressida; she can suck my ....
Blair maybe has too much info on certain people to be forced out by them - not until his retirement "bonus" is settled anyway.
Surely sanding in public is illegal. ANONYMOUS 2.57
Is now. And in private. Was great civil liberties case short time back. Group of Old Etonians get together and nail foreskin to workbench and take it in turns take sandpaper to scrotum. Honest, is true. Stanislav not invent. Cops come and throw them in cells say dirty fucking bastards but Old Etonians say No, is voluntary, we enjoy; is our foreskin not yours and so begin famous Foreskin Trial.
Some saw this prosecution as another manifestation of the encroaching Nanny State, arguing that it was an Englishman's inalienable right to nail his genitals to anything he wished and to treat them with sandpaper, wire wool or caustic soda as the fancy took him. And if he wanted to share this harmless pastime with other public schoolboys he should be at liberty to do so.
Go in court, though, and judge say fuck off, don't matter whose fucking foreskin, not doing shit like that in my jurisdiction. Fucking degenerate, should know fucking better than nail cock to bench. What happen if everybody nail cock on work bench and attack with Black and fucking Decker. Fuck my Honour, is end of fucking civilisation. Take these cunts in Jail and keep them away from fucking workshop. All my years on fucking bench never hear nothing like. Nail own fucking cock on table and plead civil liberties. Is like fucking savage. What next on my list ? Fucking cannibals from fucking Harrow, most likely. Fuck my Honour, who'd be a fucking judge? These fucking Flashman types, what are they like, eh?
Yet again Stan's post made me laugh out loud. I don't know about your own blog, mate, you ought to have your own TV show.
PS TV as in Television, not the thing that MPs get up to.
No it is not neither are typos thank god. Otherwise we would all be doing time. But STANDING out side Scotland yard protesting is. Try it and find out for yourself. PLEASE
Honest, is true. Stanislav not invent.
Yes, amusingly, the case was called 'Brown'
