THEY SEEK BIN LADEN HERE, THEY SEEK AL ZAWAHIRI THERE
Posted by Caledonian Jim in Daily Posts
UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown was publicly rebuked over terrorism yesterday when the Pakistani Prime Minister Raza Gilani (pair pictured above) denied his claims that Al Qaeda boss Osama Bin Laden is hiding in his country. Raza Gilani used a Downing Street press conference to denounce a high profile interview by Mr Brown last weekend in which he accused Pakistan of failing to do enough to wipe out Al Qaeda. And Mr Gilani flatly rejected Mr Brown’s claim that three-quarters of terror plots against the UK originate in Pakistan. He also disputed Mr Brown’s criticism of Pakistan’s alleged failure to hunt down the terror chief and his No.2 Ayman al Zawahiri. Instead Mr Gilani said that Pakistani security services had never been given any “credible information” on bin Laden’s whereabouts by British and American agencies. “I doubt the information which you are giving is correct because I don’t think Osama bin Laden is in Pakistan,” he said. One question – how does he know ? All this useless speculation – the pair (bin Laden and al Zawahiri, not Brown and Gilani) might well be dishwashers in a Balti house in Birmingham, England for all anyone knows. Come to think of it, when I went out with the wife for a meal the other night , I thought I glimpsed a bloke through the kitchen door …………..
Yet more trouble and controversy for former Hitler Youth and Nazi anti-aircraft gunner Pope Benedict XVI and the Roman Catholic church. This time it’s been caused by statements made by Roman Catholic Cardinal Javier Barragan (pictured above) of Mexico, a former Vatican official who recently retired. The Cardinal has told homosexuals and transsexuals they will “never get into Heaven”. Referring to one of St Paul’s epistles, he said: “Transsexuals and homosexuals will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven, it’s not me who says it but St Paul.” Oh well that must be right then. His comments were posted on conservative Roman Catholic website “Pontifex.Roma.it”, which I won’t provide a link to because it’s a load of bigotted crap. Asked if people were born homosexual, the Cardinal was quoted as saying: “One is not born homosexual but they become that way”. Presumably it happens after the’ve been sodomised at an early age by their local Roman Catholic priest.
In the UK Business Secretary Lord Mandelson (pictured above) has urged the banking sector to “show restraint” on pay and particularly bonuses, amid government estimates that 5,000 City bankers will earn more than £1 million this year. Mandelson called upon all banks to avoid excessive payouts to senior staff, when asked yesterday about the simmering controversy concerning the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) bonus pool. “I think it’s banking practice, not only in this country but around the world, for these bonuses to form an integral part of the salary structures of those they employ at senior level,” Mandelson said. “But equally, we believe that there has to be restraint exercised by these banks.” Damn right – especially when RBS is now owned by the same taxpayers they’re currently ripping off with criminal arrangement fees, crippling loan rates and threats of repossession and redundancy as they profiteer – sorry – repair their balance sheet. High time these arrogant City parasites were brought to book once and for all.
James Hansen (pictured above), the scientist who originally persuaded people to wake up to the (alleged) danger of global warming, now says it would be better for the planet and for future generations if next week’s Copenhagen climate change summit meeting actually ended in failure to reach agreement. In an interview yesterday Hansen, the world’s pre-eminent climate scientist, said any agreement likely to emerge from the negotiations would be so deeply flawed that it would be better to start again from scratch. “I would rather it not happen if people accept that as being the right track because it’s a disaster track,” said Hansen, who heads the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York. “The whole approach is so fundamentally wrong that it is better to reassess the situation.” Great news – does that mean that all the UK’s futile green taxes will now be rescinded ? Don’t hold your breath - what would the eco-fascists do if they couldn’t charge us for crap light bulbs, holiday flights and refuse collection ?
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin (pictured above) has given his clearest hint yet that he is preparing to get his old job back as President during a typically controlled performance at his annual question and answer session with the Russian public. Mr Putin, currently PM, spent more than 4 hours answering carefully selected questions from across Russia on subjects including the Lada car and whether the Iranians have built a nuclear bomb yet. Asked by a student whether he wants to be President again, Putin replied: “I will think about it,” adding “There’s still plenty of time.” My goodness – what a major surprise that is.

WooHoo!! Love the section on the climate conference. Aren’t all those taxes helping the environment? In fact, they just found e-mails that show temperatures have been going DOWN for the last decade….wow, they work in the past…ha-ha. Have you seen the “climate-gate” stuff?
