The Government boasts it's "saved" Grangemouth oil refinery and "500 jobs". But what about the 320,000 jobs lost since Labour came to power, asks Ben Pile. Subsidies can't prop up forever an economy ravaged by Net Zero.

Britain is in the throes of a 'superflu' scare, and so is Canada. But oddly, all is calm in Europe, while the WHO reports nothing out of the ordinary. What's really going on, ask Prof Carl Heneghan and Dr Tom Jefferson.

USA Blamed for latest Terrorist Plane Hijack

category international | miscellaneous | other press author Friday May 04, 2007 15:16author by dick cheney Report this post to the editors

Chinese news agency Xinhua reports that authorities in Havana Cuba have narrowed down all leads in the investigation into a plane hijack and foiled bomb attack which occured this morning.

The USA is suspected of training, supplying, planning and carrying out the attack which left one ground Cuban crew member dead. All hostages are now safe and undergoing post-traumatic therapy.

Details are still only at the "emerging" stage.

Motive naturally will prompt speculation - What possible US interests could be served by hijacking passenger aircraft and using them as flying bombs?

Racial tensions in the USA might explain the mid Asian appearance of one of the hijackers who is helping Cuban police with their inquiries. Analysts worry that mid-Asian appearing US residents might be escaping their gulag on the Cuban island to bring their futile manipulation & infantile provacations to the world at large.

Conspiracy theorists rubbish such Cuban / Chinese spin and point to a little cave on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan where an uncommonly goodlooking man with aristocratic manners has been holed up for years now negotiating an end to the global smack trade.

Who knows?

Of course it's not relevant to any Home Rule campaign in the Anglo-Saxon empire which is known to its friends and allies in the EU as being "safe for democracy" and "honestly quite crap at exporting its whiskey or salmon".

Said the pieman to Simple Simon "Show me first your penny"
Said Simple Simon to the pieman "Sir, I have not any!"

________________________________________________

now that would be because he didn't work much despite doing what he was told & in troubled times wasn't even let down the shops with a penny. You know the pieman didn't give him any either. Even if you can't remember the ryhme or ever learnt the more sophisticated yale sylabus poem with its obvious nods to the nonsense poetry of Edward Lear & the jumblies at sea in a sieve - you know by instinct it was never really soft ball for Simon. Let's look the other way lest we end up parsing Eliza & his hole in the bucket, waste time doing that & we'll never help Jill mend Jack's head.

Simple Simon went a-fishing for to catch a whale;
All the water he had got was in his mother's pail.
Simple Simon went to look if plums grew on a thistle;
He pricked his fingers very much which made poor Simon whistle.
He went for water in a sieve but soon it all fell through;
And now poor Simple Simon bids you all "Adieu"
