After reading that this FRENCHMAN wants the SWISS government to overturn the SWISS PEOPLES decision regarding the construction of Minarets in Switzerland because HE fears an Islamic backlash I believe he is without doubt...
We here in Barrow have witnessed first hand the dumbing down of the Royal Navy courtesy of New Labour. Fewer and fewer ships and guns are leaving our shipyard and armaments factories because there is less and less need for them in the modern world, if you believe to the New Labour view of the world.
The morons are in your area sticking leaflets through the door asking you to fill a bag for Helpmates Limited.
They are a fake company, it does not exist and they are SCAM ARTISTS.
In the same week El Gordo announced £1,000,000 in aid for the people of Cockermouth and Workington to help them recover from the flood his government handed over....
Well it's Friday again. Despite the efforts of the population of this earth to destroy in an orgasm of man made global warming climate change it's still pretty much as it was last Friday except all sorts of lies and machinations supported by governments have been exposed for what they are.
On the charity bag front there have been two developments.
Even the Evening Mail's editor has jumped on the 'isms' bandwagon.
Of course it's the BNP who are causing all the problems and of course its the righteous who think they have to 'make a stand'.
Here is a TRULY alternative to what everyone regards as school. Whilst I am not sure I agree with everything he says my family's experience of home schooling, nearly three months, supports a lot of what he is saying.
This article just beggars belief!
Whatever you do today just listen to this short video.
I've been having a butchers at some massive cons that are being perpetrated every day in the United Kingdom.
It's eye opening and at the same time mind numbing. To be honest it's giving me a headache. I'll report more once I can prove to myself what I am reading is TRUE.
It has come to my attention that the Evening Mail newspaper looks like
it is;
Sitting on comments instead of publishing them.
Sitting on letters to the editor instead of publishing them.
Allegedly letting people who are not employees of CN group see the
content of these comments and letters.
Allegedly operates a 'black list' of people it prevents from ever
having a letter or comment published.
What utter bollocks!
Who alive today was around 1000 years ago?
Who alive today was around 100 years ago with rainfall measuring gear?
Come on lets get some perspective.
When the greedy and incompetent banks stitch you up good and proper seek out this post and craft your own version to tell them where to get off.
Flooding in any age or country is a problem. There are all manner of floods and equally all manner of reasons why floods happen.
The type of flood that hit Cockermouth and Workington and sadly claimed a life is a flood with multiple causes. As horrific as that lost life is for the officers family and friends the potential for much greater losses never materialised thanks to sterling efforts of the rescue services and it has to be said some sound contingency planning.
You will not often catch me praising planners.
Although Paxo's brother has apologised to Spain for the Royal Navy shooting a Nato flag that is the same colours as the Spanish national flag, I know I too have no idea why he did this either.
Here is my tribute to the touchy Spanish.
Mr Terry Waiting was a professional councillor in our fair town. By professional I mean his sole source of income was his council expenses. Not only was he a professional councillor is wife was and still is.
So we the ratepayers of Barrow and Furness have supported this man and his wife financially for a long time. Terry is no longer a councillor. He retired in the spring of 2008.
Over his tenure he will be best remembered for creating the coldest and windiest town square in the county if not the country by paving over a large swathe of Duke Street just outside the town hall thus allowing town hall employees a safe walk to the bun shop.
Other than that the only other thing he has done is become chairman of KOFAC.
I'd be the first to admit that this story appears to have very little to do with Barrow but on the other hand it has everything to do with Barrow.
Barrow is in Furness.
Furness is in Cumbria.
Cumbria is in England.
England is in the UK.
The UK is in the EU.
Ordinarily I would have responded to this piece of work from a Borough
Councillor by sending in a Letter to the Editor or even commenting
online however neither option is open to me as the Evening Mail hasn't
published any of my letters for over a year now and the number of
articles it's possible to comment on on the papers web site has been
vastly reduced.
As it is I have this blog which is not censored in any way other than what I decide to be 'bad form'.
Who'd have thunk it?
These Christmas scripts which will feature, a murder, an explosion, extra marital sex, a lesbian kiss, a car crashing into carol singers, Boris Johnson and Call me Dave having a swift half in the Queen Vic just before someone sets fire to it, were stolen from the scriptwriters home.
Cumbria County Council is without doubt one of the worst in the country but they have now sunk to a new low.
Cumbria has underpaid it's female staff for donkey's years. Even when it was told it was doing wrong it still carried on with the underpayment until it's hand was forced by unions.
So that should have been it.
Racism is a really bizarre mix of definitions that can be spun to mean all things to all people. What strikes me as wrong is that this report has segmented it's results out by skin colour and there is not a peep from the people who have made it their sole purpose in life to rid Britain of their definition of racism.
Had it shown that black children do worst in exams then I have no doubt there would be an outcry and it would have been trawled across every newspaper and tv news programmes.
I personally think that climate change happens every second and global warming ebbs and flows with every climate change.
I do not subscribe to the carbon footprint rubbish I do not describe to the human element on this planet as the cause of global climate warming change.
We POLLUTE which can be stopped and should.
We OVER EXPLOIT which can be stopped and should.
We can CLEAN our act up and should.
We can use FINITE RESOURCES more effectively and should.
We can HARNESS RENEWABLE energy sources and should.
But here are 10 brilliantly simple ways to deal with the menace of global climate warming change.
This Labour 'innovation' is the one that will decide on humongous projects like nuclear power stations from the point of view of 'the greater good'.
They will override local concerns, protests, logic, common sense etc to ensure the greater good prevails.
The body that decides what the 'greater good' is is of course our current Labour Government in the form of Banana boys brother and whoever else gets the post after the next reshuffle.
So lets have a look at this body as it is sure to rubber stamp the building of the three Cumbrian Nuclear power stations as the 'greater good' need green power, correction power that doesn't produce CO2 emissions as a by product of it's generation.
I must have been living under a stone for the past few years as I
didn't realise that the Gary Ormondroyd who is threatening the good
people of Barrow who don't appear to recycle anything with fines and
court appearances appears to be the exact same Gary Ormondroyd who is one of the
towns leading magistrates!
I suppose he's actually threatening
people he perceives to be bad people because they don't use his
council departments kerb side scheme.
I don't watch much television these days. Frankly there isn't much on worth spending my finite time to watch.
I don't follow the soaps, the news, the sport, the reality tv crap, the bizarre 'talent discovery', anything with ant n dick in. I do watch the odd nature documentary, I do watch the odd American csincislawandorder show and I must admit to watching the All Blacks and occasionally the French destroy any of the four nations at Rugby Union.
Exactly who is he?
Well I've been a Cumbrian businessman for over a decade and I have never ever heard of him but it turns out he is the top dog at the Cumbria Chamber of Commerce.
That explains why I have never heard of him I am not a member of this 'lobby group' and my business is based in the south of the County not Carlisle.
Still he sees fit to comment on the bankrupt University and it's considerable failings.
Well yes they are actually.
One of their top civil servants is determined to make sure that anyone wise enough to salt away a few quid offshore as a hedge against the UK going bang, which it currently is, should have paid tax on any income that money allegedly earned and that tax has to be recovered by the HMRC.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is a religious man first and foremost. In fact that's all he is a religious man.
I am an atheist by religion and a business owner.
I don't know whether it's the time of year or whether the east european strawberry pickers turn to charity collecting as their winter income but the amount of charity bags and leaflets telling us of charity collections we are getting through our door is ridiculous.
Spelt a slightly different way a steak holder is a fork or possibly a plate.
Spelt this way I haven't a clue what a stakeholder is except that it is all things to all men.
As many in Barrow will be aware we are going to lose our long standing Blairite Labour MP before the next election as he is standing down to write a few books, apparently.
The Brown administration has parachuted in one of Gordons Browns very own advisor's who has graciously said through his constantly grinning face that if he wins the next election he will buy a house in the borough.
Given the draconian way in which the council and it's jobsworths are going to go after the 25% of people who do not use the kerbside recycling facility that the council have put in place I decided to dip into the councils web site and see why they feel they are right and the 25% are wrong.
I found this Evening Mail editorial nobbut a minute ago and I'd love to know which idiot actually penned the thing.
It is breathtaking in it's arrogance as it blatantly accuses people who don't recycle their rubbish via the kerbside route as bad citizens.
This is a most excellent and very funny Facebook group that is recording for posterity what Barrow is really like.
And so are the shipyards...
A shudder ran down my spine when I read this headline in the Evening Mail.
Shipbuilders head from Far East to see Barrow
With a hefty thud the Evening Mails Free 'paper' Advertiser dropped on my doormat this evening.
As I picked it up as usual a plethora of leaflets dropped out all over the floor.
Normally the newspaper part of this weekly event goes smoothly into a carrier bag ready for fire lighting duty without ever being opened.
Appropriate really that one of the Conservative councillors playing out this farce used to be a pantomime dame. Pity that he is wasting his time on a fantasy project like this instead of proving one way or another that the bridge is or isn't required.
Still he is elected and I am not therefore he knows what he is on about as he has the mandate.
I really look forward most days to reading the Evening Mails online offering as you are usually guaranteed numerous grammatical and punctuation errors, various mis-labelled pictures and loads of 'instructions' about what to put in the articles that should never make it onto the web but they do.
Most of all I look forwards to the silly stories that apparently aren't meant to be silly they are actually real.
Welcome to UKSSR.
It seems that surprise surprise, there are some people in Barrow who are not recycling properly. The truth is the only people surprised by this are Borough council jobsworths and probably a sprinkling of Borough councillors and the odd green.
So the Borough Council has proved once again that it is out of touch with reality. The horrible carbuncle that is the fading glory of Hollywood Parks Superbowl unit has at last been laid to rest.
This is a story about banana boys brother Ed Milliband who is something big in government has decided that all current planning rules will be binned and ten new nuclear power plants will be built in the UK.
No problem with that except that Cumbria is going to host three of them. Yes that's right. The majority of the nations population lives outside of Cumbria but the nuclear power stations are being built well away from population centres even though banana boy the younger stated in print "Nuclear power stations are 100% safe". I will believe that when they build one on the site of the crappy millennium dome or whatever it is now called.
