Another (non-) extradition.

‘Sudanese war criminal wins right to remain in Britain.’

So, it would seem that this mass-murderer(?) serial killer(?) (pick your own descriptor,) cannot be deported to the place where he committed his crimes because someone might be upset with him.

Never mind the fact that he shouldn’t be in this country in the first place, we can’t send him back to face the music. Instead, he is to be allowed to remain in this country, scrounging off me and you – he’e not allowed to work, or study, but he will, of course, be allowed to live at the expense of the UK taxpayer.

Good, innit?

Another extradition

Breaking news

Anticipating a change of heart in the British judiciary the South African government have this morning dispatched its last remaining serviceable aircraft to London to collect a long sought after fugitive.

Nicknamed the Dewani Dakota it left Swartkops airforce base early this morning.

When asked what prompted the sudden reaction Mr Gizza Manback (spokesman for the Department of Justice) said, “no news is good news, we haven’t heard anything for 6 months so we’re taking that as good news”

The Pit of Hell

A quick press while the American Football is having a time-out.

Judas Priest are the most Spinal tap of metal bands: motorbikes, dandruff emitting guitarists, studded leather jackets with fringes. The only box they don’t tick is the Sudden Death dead drummer syndrome. They have went through a lot of percussionists, though. The most infamous being Dave Holland who was imprisoned for sexual offences against a mentally ill boy.

Rob Halford, the singer, is to my knowledge the only openly homosexual heavy metal star. There will be others but none as successful commercially as Judas Priest. JP do have a lot of big songs in their locker. This song is first Down material. Play it loud.

The disgusting Holland is not the drummer in this clip. It is a man called Scott Travis.

I wish I was making this up.

But I am not.

Representative Paul Broun (R) Georgia came out recently with this gem “All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and Big Bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell”  he is running UNOPPOSED for re-election.  Better yet he is a medical doctor and to cap it all he sits on the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology.

Believe it or not Broun is joined on that committee by Todd Akin (R) Missouri, his most recent claim to fame is that he is telling people that doctors are performing abortions on women who are NOT pregnant.

Where do we find these people?

Why do others vote for them?

But most of all why are THEY put in positions of authority over science and technology?

What I did in Stoke on holiday last weekend

I’ve always known that I was lucky ever since I won a box of 12 Dunlop 65 golf balls at the Invergordon Conservative Club raffle at the age of 7. Total profit as my Auntie Ina had bought me the ticket and I was able to sell them to my Dad for the princely sum of three week’s pocket money (1/6d). Result!

In seriousness, however, I really am lucky. Continue reading “What I did in Stoke on holiday last weekend”

This could even make windmills useful, although no less ugly.

Some English guy tinkering in his shed has come up with a very useful way of storing energy using liquid air, and releasing it on demand. This, of course, addresses one of the main problems with windmills, i.e. they are never turning when you want maximum output from them and have to be turned off if the wind is too strong when demand for electricity  is low.

It would take quite a bit of investment in infrastructure to make this happen, but, all the pollies seems so keen on investing in infrastructure! 😦

It would also make a good petrol substitute  and there would be no need for expensive and cumbersome electric cars.
