A Deep fried what...?

French have a hissy fit, sorry le fit hissy

The head of the Bank of France Christian Noyer suggested that Britain's AAA rating should be downgraded first because it wasn't fair, it's not fair, it's not fair as quoted in Le Telegramme de Brest, nuff said. The blogger Tyler Durden at Zerohedge took great exception to this squeaming from

"members of the ECB who are apparently so blinded with chauvinistic rage that they have forgotten the most elementary things about modern corporate finance. Or perhaps, far morely likely, they never really knew it...

Which, incidentally, explains why we are all about to enter the latest and greatest global cataclysm (to borrow a word from Alain Juppe)."

bleurgggh!

enough is enough

Surely this must be one of the strongest reasons for an independent press commission, the final declaration from Jim Watson giving evidence at the Levenson enquiry

"Given the inquiry into press standards and ethics ... we strongly feel that the PCC is paid for by the newspapers that published false misleading articles about our dear murdered daughter Diane. Sadly the malicious falsehoods were too much for our son Alan, who died with these articles in his hand. We feel that the PCC should be replaced by a completely independent body or tribunal who should go over the complaints in person."

There you go

"All they're bothered about is making money.

You can't build an economy on that."

A Sad Day

What a glum prospect, enough to wipe the smile off any insufferable happy gormless idiot's face; the launching of a mass movement happiness initiative. Now, come on, sit up there, look on the bright side, thing's aren't so bad, perhaps whistle a happy tune.

Or just think insufferable meddling cunts, glower at them and then just tell them to fuck off. To almost quote Uncle Mort, every man's life should an oasis of despair.

Like stopping you smoking they ain't bothered about your health, they don't want to spend money on health care, they don't want to lose productivity in UK PLC. It all comes down to money.

So they want you happy to keep on producing, and buying, while they cut away to give money to their banker mates. A lot of people think those bankers are going to be as cheery as fuck. but strangely, knowing people who work with the perma-tanned slappers and the chinless wonders, they aren't ever going to be happy. Money never makes you happy.

However, having money taken away because of these stupid fuckers and their hubris that'll make you unhappy.

So assume a scowl and tell these nudging little cunts to fuck off and enjoy that glow of true happiness.

Not Again

A Picture of Despair

Las Vegas, the get-rich quick capital of America, is its capital of despair. Each of those red dots isn't a $1,000 chip but a dwelling that has been foreclosed. So, as the bankers and their associated cronies squeal in delight at their bonuses, these people are paying the price. Granted, some may have lost their houses through a feckless lifestyle, but many of these people have lost their houses as the direct result of lax mortgage regulations or deliberate misselling. That stoked the the bizarre rating systems that allowed toxic mortgages to be passed through some sort purgatorial cleansing and to become AAA, praise the lord. Rolling on-and-on until finally the house of cards collapsed hitting at the real economy of shops and factories; no job, no house.

Let's Be Having You

That stock phrase from your local bobby, clad in stab vest, carrying mace and taser, is taking on a whole new meaning, now that they can't keep their truncheons in their trousers. Let's hope Alan Johnson's security officer was indeed using close and personal protection.
