So David Cameron is talking up cuts to welfare again. This is the Tory
manifesto for the next general election; same old Tories, same old stories. Should please the Daily Mail readers though.

That's right, Mistadrong. Interestingly, this new push for abandoning/reducing welfare for the poor, the old, the sick etc., apart from echoing the early policies of the Third Reich, (sorry - the early policies of this government), has resulted in the Tories (IDS) suddenly going shy on us.

Same Old Tories, as you say.

Oops, looks like Universal credits is now over budget and may cost more
than it saves. Sigh, the Tory government of 1974 had the same idea of
revolutionizing the health service; result an explosion of admin and clerical
staff.
On another note, Tom Watson speaks out against Richard O'Dwyer extradition.

< explosion of admin and clerical staff. >
Sadly it seems those admin and clerical staff are a liability, let's hope that the 'special' administrator is up to the job.

There are heavy metal festivals in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Does God attack any of those? Nope, he decides to have lightning strike down and injure 17 people at Peace & Love Festival. Perhaps they should have specified that it was peace and heterosexual love.

The god of peace and love died nailed to a tree.

The god of heavy metal had a legendary hammer .

Think about it.

Well that brings to mind a very poor joke from years ago.
Pared down it goes.
Vicar plays golf with a foul mouthed parishioner who utters
on each bad shot, "missed the bas*ard!"
Vicar tuts,"God will punish you" but it goes on.
Last hole and a bolt of lightning strikes the vicar dead.
Booming voice echoes from the skies,
"Missed the bas*ard!"

"Ask yourself this question: If you were asked to shake the hand of the man who killed your favorite uncle, would you do it?"

German court rules circumcision is 'bodily harm'

It's hard to find good help these days.
But for the roughly $200 thousand Canadian
they are offering I think I could handle it.
Just needs a bit of that old PR spin, eh wot.

Ironic that they played Gilbert and Sullivan today, the First Lord's Song.
When I was a lad I served a term
As office boy to an attorney's firm
I cleaned the windows and I swept the floor
And I polished up the handle of the big front door
(He polished up the handle of the big front door)
I polished up that handle so carefully
That now I am the Ruler of the Queen's Navy

Keep polishing, who knows you could be prime minister.

The ultimate nimby. Would rather tens of thousands died than have the defence anywhere near his house.

Hmm, and if someone wanted to neutralize the defense, what happens to the house?
