The bureaucrats and the vultures
You would think that bureaucrats in the EU would have more respect for vultures considering their mutual habits. Alas, no, instead they have taken away vultures food source by demanding all dead livestock are incinerated and not recycled naturally. The vultures response? They are now attacking live animals and humans…

10 Home truths for the Right
Peter Franklin lays into the Conservative Right in the UK because of their lack of strong support for Conservative Leader David “Dave” Cameron. Despite the recent pummellings of the Conservatives in both the polls and bye elections he still tries to batter the right (which he does not define) into supporting the current project Cameron.

You can tell the Tories are in trouble when they wheel out the “loyalty” card and go on about headbangers. (Funny enough alot of the libertarians in the Tory Pary are in fact metalheads.) Franklin seems to forget that Cameron rewarded loyalty with a kick in the gob, a dear john letter and derision. That is what he had his chums hand out to all those deemed too white, too Christian, too Conservative (or libertarian), too straight people on the candidates list before the creation of the A list. I have seen a copy of the letter and it made a Dear John letter seem civil.
Its a bit rich for anyone talking about loyalty when Davey boy rewarded someone with no history in the Conservative Party with a chance to run for the seat in Ealing Southall. This is not the first time either as many candidates on the A list/candidates list have limited time as activists or members of the Conservative Party.
Project Cameron has been holed below the water line. Shooting their cannons at the people they booted off the boat is desperate, pathetic and pointless.
No commentsThat t word; no not terrorist
And by that I mean traitor not terrorist. In Channel 4’s never ending quest to do what the BBC cannot or will not do they have produced this show. Its part of their Dispatches series and yet again makes it clear what the British public is endangered by in the form of the Islamist fifth column.
This is not even “secretly” taped on anything; those on the video willfully sat there and spewed their hatred of everything British. What was most worrying was an advisor to the government stating that up to 20% of the Muslim population living in the UK are either active cells, sympathetic and empathetic with the evil Islamists.
A leader in Telegraph was critical of the program; but the comments below put them to rights.
There are some trying to stem the tide of extremism, a former jihadi to be exact.
No commentsSolidarity Forever
In a move that might make some people scratch their heads, a loosely formed coalition of left-leaning bloggers are trying to band together to form a labour union they hope will help them receive health insurance, conduct collective bargaining or even set professional standards.The effort is an extension of the blogosphere’s growing power and presence, especially within the political realm, and for many, evokes memories of the early labour organization of freelance writers in the early 1980s.
To wield any power as an organized union, you need leverage. This usually involves the withholding of one’s labour; sometimes enhanced with some muscle on the picket line. We pause here to giggle at this mental image.
They can’t shut down the Internet, and there’s no shortage of people willing to replace them. And who is going to be seriously affected if, say, Daily Kos goes off the air?
Not me. The only time I bother to read it is when someone points out something obnoxious or outrageous appearing there. Actually I suspect that a few of the saner adults in the Democrat Party would be happy to see it vanish, too.
It’s not exactly an elegant comparison, but I’m reminded of something that happened in Amsterdam in the ‘80s. The government there provides registered heroin addicts with free heroin and methadone. Nice work if you can get it, but the addicts were concerned about AIDS, which was just breaking out at the time and they wanted free, clean needles. Or they were going to go on strike.
Which would have entailed . . . what? They weren’t going to shoot up? You won’t be needing those free needles, then.
Sounds like a win-win to me.
