HOW CAN DANIEL RADCLIFFE BE WORTH £54m?

 

Now on this blog, I don't attest to the politics of envy.  I think if someone is a brilliant brain surgeon, engineer or entrepreneur they deserve all they get.

But browsing through the Murdoch rag that my wife likes to get on a Sunday, I noticed that amongst their 'rich list' was a certain Daniel Radcliffe, an actor I believe of the mature age of 22.

Now, I understand that he was some sort of principal character in a number of films about some supposed boy wizard.  Never having seen any of them, I can't make a comment about his talent, I think there has been about 6.  But, can anyone tell me how the fuck he is  now worth £56 MILLION!    Yes, I did say MILLION.   It's fucking obscene!  Now you could say that footballers are overpaid and I wouldn't disagree with you. But at least they have relatively short careers.  Radcliffe could be acting well into his 70s!

So what are his particular talents?  He does what the director tells him.  His agent obviously makes a pile.  He looks, I believe gawky and half witted at least in the early films.  What risk does he take if his talents are no longer viable?  What happens if he breaks a leg and hobbles for the rest of his life?

My answer would be fuck all.  And the sad part?  Struggling families will pay to see his  films and idolise him because he was chosen to appear in a number of films.  Oh, and her that wrote it?  Only ten times more on £540 Million.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO HAVE THIS BASTARD TAYLOR IN THE UK AT THE COST OF £100,000 PER YEAR?

 

FORMER Liberian dictator Charles Taylor was today found guilty of sponsoring a brutal civil war that left tens of thousands dead.
Taylor, the first head of state to be convicted by an international court since the Second World War, will serve his sentence in a British jail at a cost of around £100,000 a year.

Can anyone tell me why we have to have him here at the cost of £100,000 per year?  When is Britain going to get off it's high horse and realise that we are skint and no longer a major world power?  Are our big headed politicians to blame or is it the 'majesty' of the Monarchy and our no longer existent Empire?  How long did it get the Greeks and Romans to get over the fact that they no longer ruled half of their know world?

The Yanks have got it right.  Just change the Government when they threaten to start to sell their oil in any other currency apart from the $ollar!

P.S.  Are they going after that fucker Blair NEXT?

MUON FUSION-THE WAY AHEAD FOR CHEAP, GREEN, SAFE ENERY PRODUCTION.

The way ahead for energy production, in my estimation will not be Nuclear, Renewables or fossil fuels, it will be by a new process called Muon Fusion, which is currently nearing final testing in Australia by a company called Star Scientific Ltd.

This process which I admit is a bit difficult to comprehend unless you are a scientist, takes seawater and fuses certain atoms together to eventually produce steam which drives turbines.  The only waste is an inert gas which won't cause damage to the environment and because it is fusion, rather than fission, is safe and can't be used for weapons.

It will of course, do away very shortly with renewable energy, which will please Mr Trump and I know that many Governments are aware of what's happening around the world, INCLUDING the Scottish one.

Let's hope that new cheap energy is not exploited by the global market to make millions and keep energy prices at the rate they are while they make even more money from the long suffering public.  Certainly the stated aim of the Chairman of Star Scientific is to make sure that their process is not exploited by the World's energy giants.  A further independent report is available here.

A WEE GREEK QUIZ

Greeks are revolting

We already know that Greece borrowed most of its debt from the ECB and American banks. We also know that US banking firm Goldman Sachs held a seminar in Greece during 2006 aimed at 'teaching' the then Athens Government how to lie to Brussels about the size of its borrowings.

There now follows a Q&A about other aspects of Greek debt.

Question: Who is the third biggest arms importer in the world, behind India and China?

Answer: Greece

Question: If Greece had spent the EU average on defence over the past 10 years (1.7% of GDP
rather than spending 4% of GDP on defence, how much money would it have saved?

Answer: 52% of GDP, or 150billion euros

So why are France and Germany not demanding that Greece cuts its defence spending?

Question: In the period 2006-2010 which country was Germany’s largest market for munitions?

Answer: Greece, which accounted for 15% of total German arms sales.

Question: In the same period, what country was France’s largest arms export market in Europe (third
largest overall)?

Answer: Greece

Question: In 2010 (last year data is available) social spending in Greece was cut by 1.8bn Euros.
How much did military spending change? Was it...

a) Decreased by Euro 900 million
b) No change
c) Increased by Euro 900million

Answer: C

Yesterday, Greece's central bank governor said his country would have to leave the eurozone if politicians do not stick to the austerity programme after the elections due to take place on 6 May.

"What is at stake is the choice between an orderly, albeit painstaking, effort to reconstruct the economy within the euro area, with the support of our partners, or a disorderly economic and social regression, taking the country several decades back, and eventually driving it out of the euro area and the European Union," George Provopoulos told the media.

On March 23rd this year, Greece signed up to a second, €130 billion loan paid mainly by other eurozone countries to reduce the country's debt and recapitalise its banks, along with a major debt restructuring agreed with private lenders. Had it not bought all those arms from France and Germany, of course, Greece wouldn't have a problem at all.

Conclusion: The other 25 eurozone States are all paying for the Franco-German arms industry.

WHY HAS OSBORNE PLEDGED A FURTHER £10 BILLION TO THE IMF?

A sly looking bastard if ever I saw one!

Just why has osborne pledged another £10 billion of our money to the IMF, which in turn is supporting the Eurozone.

The IMF is set up to help out individual countries like in  Africa to develop their economies.  It is not their job to prop up the Euro which is plainly on it's way out.  That is why the USA has NOT pledged any more money to the IMF, because it knows when the Euro goes down the tubes as will happen sooner or later, there is a good chance they won't get their money back.  I very rarely agree with anything Ed Balls says but this time he is right.

The IMF has a vital role to play in the global economy and must be properly resourced. But the IMF’s job is to support individual countries with solvency crises, not to support a whole monetary union which cannot agree the necessary steps to maintain itself. The IMF cannot and should not become the de facto central bank of the euro area.

It's come to a pretty pass, when a supposed Euro sceptic party is propping up a Euro system that can't survive.  When are these fuckers going to stand up for Britain???

PETROL

SHOULD STRAW BE CHARGED OR BE MADE TO PAY COMPENSATION?

Just how culpable should politicians be for their decisions?  In signing off on the sending of the man above for rendition to Libya and his alleged torture, should Straw be charged with a criminal offence?  If Behadj gets compensation through the courts, should Straw have to pay it?  Does the culpability go all the way to the top and should it then involve the PM at the time, Blair.

Is there anyone who wouldn't want to see that bastard, hung, drawn and quartered?

SEVEN REASONS WHY SCOTLAND WOULD BE BETTER OFF INDEPENDENT!

7 Key Strengths of Scotland’s Economy

The Scottish Government has outlined the positive case for independence, highlighting Scotland’s seven key economic strengths.

1.     Overall Wealth: An independent Scotland would be ranked 6th in the OECD in terms of GDP per head, compared to the UK's sixteenth place (in 2010).

2.      Oil: There is up to 24 billion barrels remaining in the North Sea. Such a figure equates to a wholesale value of some £1.5 trillion in today's prices.

3.      Renewables: Scotland has around 25 percent of Europe’s potential offshore wind and tidal energy, and a tenth of Europe’s wave power potential.

4.      Food & Drink:  The latest food and drink export figures show exports are at an all time high of £5.4 billion, and growing.

5.      Public Finances: In terms of our public finances, Scotland is better off than the UK as a whole to the tune of £510 for every man, women and child in Scotland in the most recent year (2010/11).

6.      Education: Scotland has five of the top 200 universities in the world.

7.      Inward Investment: Scottish Development International are an award winning agency, with major companies continuing to locate in Scotland.

CAMERON IS JUST GRANDSTANDING IN BURMA!

 

Cameron is just grandstanding in Burma, insisting that sanctions should be dropped!

There are still hundreds,  if not thousands of political prisoners  and the Lassie above who became a 'cause celebré' for the international media, has only 7% of the vote in the Burmese Parliament with the army controlling the rest through nominees.

This picture and the one of Cameron with the President will become as famous as the one of Blair with Gaddafi.  What bets that the next country that NATO 'liberates' will be Burma?  They have oil reserves after all AND a temple with 80 tons of gold on the roof.  More than we've got in the Bank of England!

ARE POLITICIANS TRULY REPRESENTING US, THEIR ELECTORATE?

When we, the British people, elected the coalition at the last G.E, (although we obviously didn't know we'd get one), did we elect politicians who have the concerns of their electorate at heart or just a bunch of politically motivated, big business arselickers?

While the elite seem to think that the most pressing issues facing Britain today are selling off the Royal Mail, relaxing the Sunday trading laws, taking an ever more threatening line towards Iran, and backing anti-government rebels in Syria, the general public's main concerns are jobs, sky-high utility bills, rip-off train fares and record petrol prices - and not getting Britain involved in any more costly Middle East wars in which their children do the dying.

We in Scotland at least have the benefit that we can vote for the SNP, the only Scottish party, at least the only party not controlled by their London masters, to look after our demands and needs.  What is important to us in Scotland is community, the NHS, education, jobs and living in a fair society where people are rewarded for their hard work, but not to the detriment of society in general as in the case of the bankers and millionaires with off-shore tax havens.

I believe that while now of us like to pay taxes, they are what we pay to live in a just and reasonably humane society, albeit, one where the elite and the London establishment have to much power.  A vote for the SNP, means that we vote for people who have the greater good of Scotland at heart and are more interested in that than pouring money into Zionist led wars in the Middle-East.

OLYMPIC SWIMING EVENTS CANCELLED DUE TO HOSEPEIPE BAN!

 

All Olympic water events are to be cancelled in July, due to the Hosepipe ban, Health and Safety officials from Thames Water have said.

In an astonishing case a pensioner from Tooting has brought a case to the High Court claiming that if she can't water her roses then the Olympics shouldn't be able to fill swimming pools full of water.

The Government is expected to take the case to the ECHR in Strasbourg.

QUEEN INVITES REPRESSIVE KING OF BAHRAIN TO LUNCH

 

The Queen has risked an international outcry by inviting the King of Bahrain to a Diamond Jubilee banquet despite widespread criticism of his bloody and repressive regime.

This despot should have been forced from power the same way as Gaddafi was.  His regime is just as ruthless as all the others in the Middle East, but of course, Bahrain is a friend of the West, allowing the Americans to base their fleet there.  The whole situation is sickening and it just goes to show, that all these fuckers are as bad as each other.  It's time we had a republic, where we elect our leaders and where they don't come from some medieval  dynasty.   She can stick her jubilee up her arse.

MALES TO GIVE SPERM WHEN THEY GIVE BLOOD!

Sperm and egg donation 'should be like giving blood'

Donating eggs and sperm should become as common as giving blood, the fertility watchdog claimed as it proposed new "centres of excellence" where donors will be made to feel more welcome.

At last dear reader, I am up to speed on this sperm donor carry on.

It just happens in these difficult financial times a and due to the  facts that my sperm is of such high quality, (as it doesn't escape very often) and my health, looks and physique being so good that I am in great demand at these centres, where one can also make a few bob.

As usual this morning, I was given a plastic beaker and a copy of 'Hustler' magazine from the 1980s and sent to my usual cubicle to do the business, so to speak.  Now as you also get paid an hourly rate I was still in there about an hour later reading the readers letters to the editor when I heard someone going into the cubicle next to me, the first time this had happened.  "Fuck me", I thought, "I don't fancy choking the chicken with some bastard listening to me", when it became apparent that he wasn't in there alone,  as I could hear a female moaning.

I crept up on a chair and looked over and here was some arsehole getting a blow job from the nurse.  Well, I pulled the strides up and marched out, straight up to the front desk and shouted at the receptionist, "how come I get a plastic beaker and a copy of a wank mag and that bastard next door is getting a blow job from the nurse"?  

Smiling sweetly, she said, "sorry Mr Lochnagar, I didn't realise you had private health insurance.

SCANDAL OF OUR FUNDING OF THE RICHEST FAMILY IN BRITAIN-THE ROYALS

 

Prince Charles was personally consulted by George Osborne about a controversial change to the law which has significantly boosted the Royal Family’s finances.

Beth Russell, the Chancellor’s principal private secretary wrote: ‘I should be grateful if you could lay this letter, with my humble duty, before the Prince of Wales and seek His consent so far as the interests of the Duke of Cornwall are concerned to place those interests at the disposal of Parliament for the purposes of this Bill.’

Miss Russell outlines the Bill’s main proposals and points out that the introduction of a new single grant to the Royal Household would generate more income for the Royal Family and would not have to be continually renewed by Parliament.

She wrote: ‘The new grant is normally to be set equal to 15 per cent of the profit of the Crown Estate two years prior. Linking funding to Crown Estate revenues in this way should provide semi-automatic incremental growth in the grant, reducing the need for regular parliamentary intervention.’

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!   After Osborne's first budget, I told you they were slipping this in and now the MSM has caught up.  Maybe I should apply for a job!
