CLIMATE FARCE WON’T STOP BROWN RAISING GREEN TAXES
Posted by Caledonian Jim in Daily Posts
The picture above sums the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit perfectly. An exhausted delegate sent to sleep listening to UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown droning on, making promises he can’t keep, pledging money he doesn’t have, all in reality with the single aim of raising taxation in Britain. Yet another example of Gordon taking the initiative to save the planet, where yet again the initiative duly falls on its arse. We were told by all the eco-fascists that the world needed a climate treaty from the Copenhagen summit. Despite the fact they were all gathered at our expense in Copenhagen, all the world got was an “accord”, whatever that means. There’s no hiding the disappointment amongst the “climate aware” fashionable chattering classes and liberal-elite as exemplified by the BBC and the New Labour high command as the shabby deal that emerged after more than a year of pre-summit negotiations and 2 weeks of face-to-face talks was merely, in Gordon Brown’s terms, “a first step”. According to US President Barack Obama, it was “meaningful”. Tell it to the bloke slumped by the TV. As for the rest of us, we’ll just pay our increased green taxes to counter global warming while freezing at the bus stop.

Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair (pictured above) has claimed it is only in Britain that he is disliked and that he is much more popular abroad. The former PM has blamed the British press for his image at home and has defended his lucrative second career that has netted him millions since he quit politics. In a weekend interview Mr Blair said: “It’s not true that nobody likes me. Reading the papers in Britain, you’d end up thinking I’d lost 3 elections rather than won them. There is a completely different atmosphere around me outside the country. People accept the work that you are doing, as it is. They don’t see anything wrong with being successful financially and also doing good work.” Well we’re really glad that Tony feels he’s appreciated more abroad – so why doesn’t he piss off overseas permanently? And take the wife with him.

A Muslim chef who lost a claim of religious discrimination against Scotland Yard after complaining he was forced to cook pork sausages and bacon faces a legal bill of more than £75,000. Hasanali Khoja (pictured above) accused the Metropolitan Police of failing to consider his Islamic beliefs when he was asked to handle pork products as a catering manager at a police station. The £23,000-a-year chef claimed suggestions by his bosses that he should wear gloves and use tongs left him “stressed and humiliated”. But Mr Khoja lost his claim in May after a police employee told an employment tribunal how she saw Mr Khoja actually eat bacon rolls and pork sausages. The Metropolitan Police Authority (MPA) has now won a ruling ordering Mr Khoja to pay its costs, which total at least £76,200. Perhaps a more important issue is this : why does this kind of politically correct bullshit, costing the taxpayer an arm and a leg, ever get near a court of law ?

The late Pope Pius XII (pictured above) is reportedly one step closer to sainthood after former Hitler Youth and Nazi anti-aircraft gunner Pope Benedict XVI signed a decree attesting to ”his virtues”. The decree means that Pius XI, a former Papal Nuncio to Germany and well known German sympathiser, during which time the above photo was taken, can be beatified once the Vatican certifies that a miracle attributed to his intercession has occurred – and doubtless THAT will be arranged in double-quick time through the good offices of some deluded adherent. Beatification is the first major step before possible sainthood. Many historians and Jewish groups have argued that Pius should have done more to prevent the extermination of 6 million Jews by the Nazis, but the Vatican insists Pius used quiet diplomacy to try to save Jews. In fact he was so quiet, the notoriously pro-Nazi pope never said a damn thing. He was almost as silent on the Holocaust as his latter-day successors are tight-lipped over paedophile priests. It’s also interesting to note that it’s taken a German to organise his sainthood.

And while we are talking about the Holocaust, a state of emergency was announced in Poland over the weekend as the country tightened border controls and instigated random police checks as part of a nationwide hunt for the infamous bronze sign (pictured above) to the former German Nazi death camp at Auschwitz after it was stolen. The discovery that the sign had been wrenched from the top of the entrance gate posts prompted international reactions of outrage and urgent calls for its return. The sign, cast by camp prisoners, which offered the cynical welcome to new inmates “Arbeit Macht Frei” (work sets you free) and stands as a potent symbol of the suffering millions endured at the camp, is believed to have been removed by a gang in what authorities called a meticulously planned robbery. Well, the gang may well be meticulous – they’re also sick. And since the robbery, the sign has been found in 3 pieces. What a pointless exercise by morons.

Excellent as always Jim. Didn’t realise that was the outcome of the sausage and bacon scam. The Arbeit Macht Frei sign has been found, in three pieces. You’ll know that now though.
