Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

...which reminds me. I must do my monthly Prescription Request.

On another note...wifey tells me someone has been to Paul and Sandra Dunham's house and emptied out a lot of stuff. eg. from the Freezer in the Garage, etc, etc, etc.

(You might remember how they were forcibly extradited back to the USA a few weeks ago)

Anyhow, this 'waste' is now stashed in about 6 black bin bags at the entrance to their drive.

Whoever did it, doesn't know that the council bin men will never ever collect it if it isn't put inside the black wheelie bin. These guys don't give a shit about whether the householder has been extradited or not.

A bin is a bin.

Thou shalt not overfill thy bin.
Thou shalt put the bin lid down properly.
Neither shalt thou leave extra trash at the side of the bin in one or more bags.
The Lord thy Council God is an obtuse God and has decreed that spare trash will not ever get collected.
Amen.

Edit: All as in the EU rules for the wheelie bin recycling of stuff.

Rebekah Brooks and husband cleared of ALL charges!

"The BMA is a self interest group and has always resisted change."

No different to your "Con" Party then H/S.

I now believe Jesus walked on water!

Head of security at News of the World also not guilty.

.

I wonder what Andy's "Kiss and Tell" autobiography will reveal about Cameron and cronies!

I must note the name of the Legal team for future reference!

Yep the truth will come out in a book as usual and not in court.

Britain is scorned and insulted across the EU. Why do we stay?

Graceless and solipsistic? A Buller man?

Could a mainstream British Conservative become President of the European Commission? Or President of the European Council? You only need to put the question.

Britain is excluded from a leadership role in the EU, not because Continentals have some irrational prejudice against cricket or Elgar, but because of a fundamental incompatibility of outlook. We are interested in free markets and co-operation with our neighbours; the others are interested in merger.

This is true even of the supposedly reformist governments. Regular readers of this blog won't be surprised by the foul-mouthed tirade of Poland's foreign minister, Radosław Sikorski: the man is as charmless as he is vain and self-absorbed. What is interesting is the matter-of-fact way in which the other Polish ministers join him in vilifying the British Government.

Is this because of some long-standing enmity between the two states? Hardly. Poland is an old friend, the only country to have fought alongside us from the beginning of the Second World War to the end. Huge numbers of Poles have chosen to work here, following in the footsteps of the Polish migrants who, in 1940, fought for freedom in the Battle of Britain and, later, in North Africa, Italy, France and the Netherlands, even as their own homeland was overrun.

So why is our government spurned and traduced by ministers in Warsaw? For the same reason that we are disliked across Europe's palaces and chanceries, namely our resistance to European integration. The EU was supposed to make countries get on better; but, in reality, it's the cause of almost all our quarrels with our neighbours these days, especially those with the Germans. If it weren't for Brussels, we'd be getting along famously.

Whenever I argue that Britain should secure some sort of country-club status, an EFTA-plus deal based on open markets rather than political amalgamation, I get the same answer from worldly Sir Humphrey types. "We need to have influence. We need to have a seat at the top table". Chaps, how much clearer can it be that we have no such influence? It's not a recent thing: the Sikorski tapes recall the Spanish minister who was unwittingly recorded describing Tony Blair as "a total wanker" ("un gillipollas integral").

We can see, in the row over the Commission Presidency, how pettily we weigh in the counsels of the EU. We should rejoin the wider world, where we still have friends. We should replace the rancour and quarrelling that comes from EU membership with the mutual satisfaction that comes from free trade. We should be a good neighbour to the EU, not a bad tenant.

Why do we subject ourselves to rule from people who despise us?

Does the UK not have an equivalent to the US's Son of Sam Law which prevents criminals from profiting from their crimes? If it does, then Coulson presumably wouldn't be able to write anything.

42786/42789
absolutely unbelievable .... just goes to show that the law, justice and fairness often have little in common but was always thus .....

on the other hand Our 'Arry thinks that's just dandy :-)

Jury still out trying to get majority on a couple of other charges relating to bribing palace officials to get 'green book' list of royal phone numbers.

The sentencing part will be interesting. I would guess Coulson will appeal and may get off. Evidence only circumstantial on main charges.

It has always been a fuss about nothing. Maybe just a suspended sentence. Millions spent on a waste of time.

Do you mean Cameron is a Hooray Henry?

Camoron having to apologise for links with Coulson.

Next up the Euro boys he aint half going to look a plonker after losing the vote.

Investigation cost £15m plus 6 months trial. News Corp legal costs were £238m as at last September.

"There is no law prohibiting convicted criminals from publishing their autobiographies or
other writings in which their crimes may be described, or from selling their stories to
newspapers or biographical writers. However, there are restrictions on criminals profiting
from such activities. These are set out in Part 7 of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009, which
came into force on 6 April 2010. The Act established a civil recovery scheme that enables
the courts to order criminals to pay an amount in respect of assets or other benefits derived
from the exploitation of accounts of their crimes. Sums received are then paid into the
Consolidated Fund (the Government’s general bank account at the Bank of England).
Special rules apply to serving prisoners, who under the Prison Rules and Prison Standing
Orders may be prevented from publishing material relating to their crimes while in custody.
In the case of a life sentence prisoner serving a whole life term, the application of the Rules
may effectively prevent any such publication during his or her lifetime.
There are also various media codes of practice advising broadcasters and journalists on
making payments to criminals: public interest is the key factor"

Half the retiring politicians would not be able to write their autobiographies if there was such a ban.

What was Coulson in charge of at No 10?

It wasn't procurement, or was it?

============

Amazing how many associates of Cameron have been given second chances by him.

Sounds to me, what an old etonian mafiosi would do.

No wonder the EU leaders laugh at him behind closed doors!

I have a reflection, that at the time of Coulson's appointment to No10, he was not subjected to normal home office scrutiny.

I think, the appointment of Coulson was made at Cameron's instigation, even though he was warned by Clegg and cabinet advisers.

Cameron is not fit for office.

Spot on Fred Hays forgets that, well choses to forget that.

Camoron is in this right up to his ear lugs.

HAYS have you faced a kangeroo court on advfn recently. A lot out to get you today. unzipped file. ..........he he.
