DELICIOUS IRONY - THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE STRUGGLY

Gaddafi was good, then bad, then good; now bad. Koussa was bad, tries to be unilaterally good, but (having no oil) is still bad.

It sounds so much like a Bible story. Might we have the Arch of Cant's view?

In passing: I note that Billy the Spud is YET ANOTHER PPE. But try as I might, I just get no philosophical vibes from the chap, at all. Can some NewsyNighty worthy give us an idea just how much philosophy these jingoistic posturing ninnies have been exposed to?

IS THERE A PHILOSOPHER IN THE HOUSE?

why did he come here? All he will get here is beer and sandwiches....and a prison sentence, Cameron and Co will just use him.....

"will be taking us through the Irish bank stress test results, which will be released later today."

What they need to test is their sense of justice, of humanity and guts to do the right thing and bring criminal bankers and politicians to book.

"The answer may be that the Japanese government has a captive funding source: it owns the world’s largest depository bank. As U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney said, “Deficits don’t matter.” They don’t matter, at least, when you own the bank that is your principal creditor. Japan has remained impervious to the speculative attacks that have crippled countries such as Greece and Iceland because it has not fallen into the trap of dependency on foreign financing."

This is not worthy of a front page and this women should not be put through the trauma it brings her. MSM is shameful.

When are you lot going to do something serious on the failings of migraine drugs and their NHS GP prescription which is totally worthy due to a hell of a lot of people suffering Hell ?

LIVING WITHIN THE DOUBLE LIE?

What if Koussa's information includes the provable fact that al-Megrahi had no part in the Pan Am bombing? We have enough egg on our national face from Tony's little slip-up, without another Ostrich-load (six Scottish judges no less) in addition.

Would the leaders of our exemplary regime, lie to us by remaining silent? Would Billy the Spud (an 'honourable' man) be party to such a disgrace?

Answers on a small, unconvincing, piece of circuit board . . .

#8 barrie

You took the words right out of my mouth and perhaps the Corporate Nazi's will be lenient on Koussa and will not charge him with anything, but only if he is prepared to tow the " official line " and prolong the corporate deception ?

#4; remember a chap called Rudolf Hess?

Looks like the virtual " free ride " transport consumers have been relying on to remain competitive in " Global Markets " is over, road haulage rates to increase significantly in line with fuel prices !

Apparently the Kuwaiti government has resigned!

"But if Wall Street’s collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and other derivatives are too complex for regulators to understand, they must be too complex for buyers and other counterparties to evaluate. This would seem to negate a key logical assumption of free market theory. Without “full knowledge of the market,” and of the consequences of one’s action, one cannot make an informed choice. So on logical grounds, regulators would seem to be following orthodox free market theory in rejecting derivatives and other such “complex” products.

Not so in Greenspan’s world. He does not acknowledge that Wall Street has been so adept at translating its wealth into political power that it only approves regulators who do not understand complexity. That is a precondition for deregulators such as Greenspan."

Bix Weir see's Greenspan as giving the bankers enough rope to hang themselves:-

when you put all this in the context of the great year and the [climate] catastrophes associated with its subdivisions it just looks like squabbling children

Excellent report by Richard tonight and the debate that followed in the studio with Jeremy afterwards. Good interview with Transier too.

IN THE SHAUN BAILEY SPACE GOING FORWARD SPEAKING FLIPCHARTESE

A government facilitator with a flip-chart! Do these people know nothing of Monty Python? It was like watching an early Dome meeting - brain curdling. The only thing that saved me, was the sight of Smith's red shoes - then I knew I was in Kansas.

Shaun Bailey needs no training, he got 'mind-set', 'skill-base' and 'model' into one sentence.

WE HAVE GOT OURSELVES EXACTLY WHAT WE HAD BEFORE!

NOT BEYOND OUR KEN

Two ways to lock-in human beings, and spoil their lives for profit, with little chance of breaking free and getting a better future: 1) Smoking 2) Prison

Compassionate Conservatism is safe in our Ken's hands.

Nobody who is switched-on believes much of the stuff on NN anymore. To buy the 'war on terror' you have to believe three massive buildings just fell to the ground perfectly in the same way and defied a Newtonian law. Its all about peak oil and the need to control the middle east - to exploit in a meaningful way . The Big Society is just another indication Cameron is a puppet and all rather laughable, watching that debate . We listen to Paul better still read him but even he cant allude to what he really knows about the banks due to being via the BBC . We find much of the other reporters creepy and smug. The Americans who bring forth their news on their truth are detailed and manic more compelling via a need to sell . Their truth is always about to pop over the boundary of paranoia in the flickering mind control of a fluorescent lamp to flog a doomsday product. So there is the truth but the ego trip manic paranoia spin has to be filtered out even from the quiet serious US mouths who bring forth. They like the sound of their own voices and the articulation gets ever more accentuated but dont see that we can read that as arrogance, sets us apart along with the gun mentality . But I still like Gerald Celente firing off 'White Shoe boy' with glorious disdain and Eric King 'I'm Eric King and this is King World News' like he owns the world with a swagger.

I found the Jeremy v Syrian Ambassador comical the other night. I wasn't the only one!

'FROM THE BOWELS OF CHRIST' (It's a Cromwell quote blogdog) (#21 link)

Bronowski knew some science - he even knew he should doubt what he knew - but he failed to know himself, so failed to question his motive in histrionic spotlight prancing.

'We are all guilty'.

'Skip the Doctor - Use 'Grandma's Home Remedies' for These 7 Ailments'

"and chew on a pencil for a headache – they all have a scientific reason why they work."

Dr Mercola

You go on to mention taking intravenous magnesium - correct there Doc but how many are going to turn up at the local NHS hospital in the UK and ask for that - they will get laughed I should know I did about 5 years ago.

Let me assure you its absolutely NOT a good idea to chew on a pencil if you suffer from migraine here is specifically why :-

HAS BRITAIN 'LOST IT' COMPLETELY?

Where is the honour, the decency, the humility, the propriety in inviting Johnnie Foreigner into the studio, and then treating him discourteously? Do NewsyNighty viewers really want this Weakest Link level of inquisition? Indeed, having written that, I am suddenly struck by the similarity of style between Paxman and Robinson.

If this is our flagship journalism, at the heart of democratic civilisation (going backward) someone should be keelhauled. Might we have a really close look at what ails the BBC? Perhaps it is the same as ails the country as a whole, typified by Westminster governance: immature espousal of the edgy and eschewal of integrity.

Nuff sed.

Jonny Foreigner, garlic bread! Whatever next?

handbags in big society?

the debate is a prime example of why it won't work and descend into petty squabbling.


Windfalls
So we get an admission that gas is so cheap they companies can't take the tax? which is a bit different to what they say when they put the prices up?
