Prediction
LATER this week the Met Office will bombard us with one of the most bizarre pieces of propaganda since the Iraqi information minister tried to convince the world that Saddam’s forces were driving out the infidel even when US planes were clearly bombing the city behind him.
We are going to be asked to believe that 2010 was either the hottest or second hottest year the world has ever recorded. I don’t know why anyone would trust the Met Office’s statistics on global temperature given that they are still compiled by some of the same scientists who were caught trying to use “tricks” to adjust previous data.

I hear the sound of Tumbrels*
The average price for a litre of unleaded petrol on British forecourts is 123.26p. Of this, 57.19p is fuel tax, 18.36p is VAT, while the actual cost of the fuel is only 47.71p.
In the case of fuel, the taxman takes a double cut because VAT is applied to the cost of the petrol inclusive of fuel tax. Essentially, you have to pay tax on the tax you pay to buy your fuel.
It really is time to rise up and slaughter them!
*Tumbrel: a farm dumpcart for carrying shit; carts of this type were used by the hoi polloi to carry politicians and the other undeserving to the guillotine during the French Revolution.
Two of the benefits of the tumbrel........(1) it doesn't need petrol. (2) it can be pulled by the stronger politicians and the other undeserving to the guillotine.

Julia Slingo
Professor Slingo, who is in charge of Britain's biggest research team investigating climate change, insisted that global warming was a reality despite the bitterly cold temperatures and heavy snowfalls that have " brought much of the country to a standstill. "
"This is not a global event; it is very much confined to the UK and Western Europe and if you look out of your window today, you will see that it is warm............ it is starting to thaw"

Creating chaos out of coalition
The Business Secretary MP for Twickenham Vince Cable has hit back over the newspaper sting which left him clinging to his Cabinet job saying that it undermined the work of MPs. The Daily Telegraph had done "great damage" by recording what he and other Liberal Democrat ministers thought were private conversations with constituents.
Well fuck me Vince, what was it that you said back in 2006 about political Hypocrisy.

Dead currency for dead men
In a research paper published today, the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) claims that keeping "the euro alive will require cuts in living standards greater than the UK faced in the Second World War"
"There is no modern history of falling living standards in peacetime on the scale necessary to keep the euro in its current form. This is why I think there is at best a one-in-five chance that the euro will survive as it is,"Douglas McWilliams, CEBR chief executive.

A coin was placed in the mouth of the dead to pay for the passage.

HMG take note...
I am not going to pay tax on any outcome developed from what has been agreed at Cancun (or it's UN predecessor agreements) or any tax that can be related and generated by the UN or European Union.

Liberal Democrats
Leiurus quinquestriatus
One day, a yellow scorpion was walking along a river bank, wondering how to get to the other side.
All of a sudden the yellow scorpion saw a toad.
He asked the toad to take him on his back across the river. The toad said, “No, If I do that, you'll sting me and I will drown.”
The scorpion assured the toad, “If I was to sting you, we would both drown.”
The toad thought about it and finally agreed and the yellow scorpion climbed up on the toads back. The toad began to swim... but.... halfway across the river, the yellow scorpion stung the toad.
As the poison filled his veins, the toad turned to the scorpion and said, “Why did you do that? You know that we will both drown.”
“I couldn't help it,” said the yellow scorpion. “It is my nature.” I am a Liberal Democrat and that's what us yellow scorpions do.

Groundhog Day 16
EU accounts not signed off… for the 16th consecutive year
You wont have read this in the MSN but The European Union Court of Auditors has refused to sign off the EU accounts for yet another year, making this the 16th year in a row that the EU accounts have failed to receive a clean bill of health.
This year’s report found discrepancies in 90% of last year’s EU budget, and yet the European Parliament is currently demanding a 2011 budget increase of 6%, which has, unsurprisingly, gone down like a lead balloon with cash-strapped and budget-slashing national governments.
