Wacky Jacqui Smith in trouble yet again

This is the woman who wants to criminalise men who use prostitutes. Whose husband watches 'adult films'. Can anyone now take her seriously? Her ministerial career isn't hanging by a thread, it's hanging by a G-String.......

Bailing out the B(w)ankers - a question

How come the government has found a load more money to bail out the banks? The Treasury must have a stupendous amount of sofa's and Alastair Darling must be an international standard rummager to gather so much together from down the back of the aforementioned furniture items.

This money couldn't have existed for the NHS (e.g. paying for life-extending drugs, prostate cancer screening etc) or to provide more public toilets, improve the mental health provision of local councils. Obviously it couldn't have existed otherwise it would have spent on these things and a whole lot more besides.

So where did it come from then (apart from down the back of the chancellor's sofa)?

Quote of the week

"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad."


Brian O'Driscoll (when asked about his relationship with England coach Martin Johnson).

There is something deeply Cantona-esque about this ......

Thought for the day

If a man speaks in the middle of a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?
