Greeks Will Refuse to Pay Back Money to EU

Greeks Will Refuse to Pay Back Money to EU

In less than seven years, Greece spent 600 billion euros loaned to them by the EU, and now that the money is gone and they are told to pay back the money, they are refusing to pay.

“What I want to know is, where did the money go? The population of Greece is just under 19 million people. Every person in Greece should be driving around in a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Something is very wrong here,” Christos Palamputa, a Greek radio DJ in Athens said on his weekly show.

One only has to look at the Athens subway to see how some of the money was spent, with even the cleaners getting 60,000 euros per annum to turn up for three day working weeks and receiving vast pensions when they retire at 45.

What about the massive corruption in government, or the huge pension schemes, or the massive subsidies handed down for empty fields growing nothing? All of this, with only a few people paying tax adds up to an unsustainable mess which is not conducive to a healthy euro currency.

“It is imperative that Greece leaves the euro currency, if the euro is to survive. The Germans will make sure of this. If the austerity party wins, there is no point, because no one pays tax in Greece. If the left wing nutcases win, Greece is out as well. We need to be prepared for a disorderly exit, and massive contagion in Italy, Spain and Portugal. Once the Greeks are chucked out, then the banks in those countries will immediately start transferring all of their euros to German banks, creating a massive vacuum. There will be protracted anarchy within the Greek region as all ATM machines and shops will close indefinitely. The French and German banking system could very well collapse under the strain, and as for the UK, this will trigger an immediate EU referendum where the UK will exit the EU altogether. Because of the industry and banking ties to Europe, this will be a heavy blow for our economy and we will have to find other places to do business with. If things escalate even further, we could have war in the Balkans, possibly with the Greeks trying to attack Turkey and other countries bordering their anarchic mess of a country,” James Arbuthnot Wilkins, Investment banker for Albright Sentinel told the Telegraph today.

Greece was the Goldman Sachs aided Trojan horse that was wheeled into the gates of the EU, and it could very well spell the end of the euro currency once and for all. Should we thank the Greeks for this gift or not?

Police to Advise People What to Say in Phone Calls, Emails, Texts and Social Networks

Police to Advise People What to Say in Phone Calls, Emails, Texts and Social Networks

The Metropolitan Police Commissioner has outlined the police’s role in advising what the public should say or think in private phone calls, texts, emails and social networks.

Everyone’s Guilty Now

“You may be surfing the internet, and you will see a message pop up advising you to click on another link instead of the one you were about to click, or you could be talking to a friend, and a voice will suddenly come on telling you how to respond to your friend’s question. These are just some of the little additions to enhance your lives and also to protect you from harm. That’s why we’re doing this, and you, as the taxpayer, will also be ordered to pay £1.9 billion for the privilege of being spied on,” Police Commissioner, Brent Daly, said today at a conference near parliament.

The proposal to give further powers to spy on websites, e-mails and texts, which could cost hundreds of millions of pounds a year, have been dubbed a “snooper’s charter”.

Anything You Do Say May, and Will, Be Given in Evidence

Every aspect of the public’s lives will be analysed and recorded with state of the art computerised systems.

“We’ve already got masses of information about you all already, and this is merely the next step, where we’ll advise you on how to live your lives and act. Your thoughts will be monitored at all times, and remember if you disobey our orders, you could get a little knock on the door one night and never see your home or family again,” the laughing Police Commissioner added, just before being driven away from the conference hall in Westminster.

The UK has the most CCTV surveillance and listening devices per capita in the world.

Lindsay Lohan Found Conscious

According to Hollywood celebrity site TMZ, medical officers arrived at the scene after Lindsay called her production team this morning and complained about being awake.

A private doctor was then called to verify the fact that the actress was conscious.

When a member of hotel staff knocked on her door and she answered it, 911 was called by a member of the production team.

“We couldn’t believe that she was conscious. Like I had to pinch myself, I could have been dreaming or something,” one of Lohan’s assistants told CBS.

When paramedics arrived on the scene, they reportedly determined that the star was ‘ok’ and she should be allowed to get into her normal state of unconsciousness as soon as possible.

I Made It All Up: 'Treasury Boy' Revealed As Bullingdon Runaway

I Made It All Up: 'Treasury Boy' Revealed As Bullingdon Runaway

The so-called “Tory Boy” was named today as George Gideon Osborne, a 41-year-old runaway from Oxford University’s Bullingdon club, who was recognised back home after police finally issued a picture of him this week.

The mystery began on May 12 2010, when Mr Osborne, showed up at the Treasury building in London. Speaking English , he gave his name only as “George” and his date of birth as 23 May 1971.

The man was unable, or refused, to give his family name, birthplace or any other biographical information but since then he has spent the last two years living in a flat in Downing Street and pretending to know things about Britain’s economy.

George told police he had buried the real Chancellor of the Exchequer “in a hole in the forest underneath some stones” but, after “walking north for five days” to London, could not explain how he had died or where authorities could find his body. No body has ever been found.

Officials at the Treasury are said to be angry that Mr Osborne fooled them for so long.

“We’ve seen the receipts and the economy is going down the kazi. We knew something was wrong yesterday, when George said there was a Plan B and presented it. Oh dear, we’re all fucked aren’t we?” one of the Treasury staff told the Daily Mail.

But the Bullingdon boy could end up paying dearly for his prank. “He deliberately took us for fools and he could be liable for the costs,” another nervous Treasury official said, sweating profusely into his cup of tea.

Cameron Forgot EU Referendum Paper at Pub

Cameron Forgot EU Referendum Paper at Pub

David Cameron left the eight-year-old draft EU Referendum in the pub following a Sunday lunch, after a mix-up with his wife Samantha, Downing Street has admitted.

According to witnesses, the pub crowd were chanting for a referendum on the EU at the chillaxing Cameron when he whipped it out of his underpants and started shouting “Never, never, never!” before storming out in a huff with his wife Samantha and daughters.

The prime minister rushed back to the Plough Inn in Cadsden, Buckinghamshire, where he found his draft manuscript in the pub toilets.

A Downing Street spokesman said: “The prime minister and Samantha were distraught when they realised the referendum paper wasn’t with them.

“Thankfully when they phoned the pub it was there safe and well. The prime minister went down straight away to get it and take it back to Chequers to be shredded once and for all.” Downing Street said the incident happened “a couple of days ago”.

The story could prove embarrassing for the prime minister, coming on the same day as the government flatly denied the existence of such a document.

There will be no EU Referendum we’re afraid ladies and gentlemen.

Freedom Advocates: "If You Don't Like the Trolls Switch Off"

Freedom Advocates: "If You Don't Like the Trolls Switch Off"

Analysing the recent headlines in the mainstream media, one may notice the sudden increase of commentators and voices calling for the curbing of the internet with Big Brother style measures that would make George Orwell f*rt into his copy of 1984. Certainly, these personalities are probably stooges being presented to the public as some sort of voice to take away internet freedom and bring in massive governmental controls citing abuse from ‘trolls’ as their raison d’aitre.

Governmental Troll Spin

The use of the Hegalian Dialectic as a reason to shut down internet freedom should be a worrying concern to every decent internet user and anyone who believes in freedom of speech.

If you do not have the hide of a rhino you should not be on the internet in the first place, let alone in parliament.

“You’ve got the arsehole Cameron-ite Big Society politically correct Stalinist do-gooders coming out of the woodwork, the Louise Mensches and other such attention-seeking celebrity losers out to chop up the internet. If you’re an MP you should be off the f*cking twitter and actually doing something useful for a change, not faffing around on your mobile phone. If they do not like the internet, get the f*ck off it. Do not switch your computer or smart phone on. Turn your TV off as well while you’re at it. If you want privacy, be private, do not parade your whole life in the public forum. It is inevitable that the internet does have a negative side, but so does human nature. You cannot curb human nature. When you’re on the internet you are swimming in the hive mind with millions of people, and human nature is messy, why try and put controls on human thought? Utilising pedantic time wasters like Nicola Brookes, these legislators are messing with freedom of speech and they should go away, they should leave the internet because the internet is something that was built for freedom; free knowledge, free software, free speech and free thought. As for the flapping female histrionics coming from the likes of Sue Berelowitz, over p*rn, it seems this is a concerted effort by the government. If you start messing with the tenets of freedom as practiced on the internet, then you are policing thought. That is what the Thoughtpolice are, and when you prosecute people for their thoughts, then you are making thought a crime (Thoughtcrime). Read 1984 and read it again, and again, to see what these shisters are trying to do,” an anonymous internet user with more sense than any of the ‘internet freedom killers’ on the loose said today.

Surveillance

The UK Coalition government has made its mission to shut down freedom on the internet, monitor all emails, listen to every phone conversation and make it a crime to speak your mind. Is this China or the United Kingdom?

One thing is for sure, if the legislators succeed in bringing in further draconian laws curbing freedom of speech, the trolls will not shut up because they’re part of human nature and exist outside the internet as well. Anyone with any know how on the internet can always mask their IP address anyway with the use of proxies, so any legislature is completely redundant.

Maybe, these internet legislators are a glimpse into the future when microchips will be implanted in people’s brains and any thoughts not sanctioned by government could be punished severely.

Cannibalism Could Be made Illegal In America

Cannibalism Could Be made Illegal In America

Cannibalism could finally be banned in America. Legislators are drafting a new Senate bill that will finally ban the consumption of human meat by other humans, Judge Ron Lector, told the Washinton Herald newspaper on Monday.

Three Chomps Rule

“This will be a two tiered approach to bringing in the new laws that will eventually ban cannibalism in America. With most crimes we have a three strikes and you’re out rule, well we want the same thing with cannibals. If you eat people three times, boom, that’s it for you for life. We hope to have the bill passed by 2018, but there’s so much cannibalism around at the moment, we are trying our best to get the ball rolling a lot sooner,” Keith Favabene, one of the other Judges working on the draft bill told CBS news.

There were further setbacks on Saturday as five members of the legislative committee, who were travelling through Oregan by road, had their SUV hijacked by cannibals and have not been in contact with their families or employers since.

“We’re trying to get new people on the case, but the last lot probably got eaten, so we need some new people in,” a Florida Judge working on the case told the Florida Weekly.

Madonna Nipple Falls into Man's Drink at Istanbul Bar

Madonna Nipple Falls into Man's Drink at Istanbul Bar

“She came in with her entourage and ordered everyone a cocktail. She was still wearing her stage clothes and was really hyper. She said she wanted to show everyone a close up of what she did on stage just fifteen minutes ago. She took one of her breasts out. Her nipple looked angry, like it was bruised up and mushrooming out. I just couldn’t stop staring at it as it twitched uncontrollably on her breast, and then we all heard a popping sound. Her nipple shot up in the air and fell down straight into a man’s Pina Colada. He said he wanted a refund after putting the nipple in his mouth with a cocktail stick and chewing it for thirty seconds. He said it tasted like an old salty leather button,” an eyewitness at the bar near Istanbul’s Taksim Square, told Reuters.

Madonna was immediately taken by ambulance to Istanbul General Hospital where surgeons tried frantically to sew the chewed nipple back onto her right breast.

Doctors this morning declined to answer questions about the surgery but Madonna’s spokeswoman, Joyce Green, said: “Last night after her concert, there was an incident at a bar for aftershow drinks. Madonna is doing just fine and will carry on with her tour as planned.”

London Olympic Athletes Threaten to Strike Over Pay

London Olympic Athletes Threaten to Strike Over Pay

Members of the Unite union supported industrial action by a ratio of more than nine to one, on a 98% turnout. The union is seeking the bonus, which will cost £140m, for the 20,000 athletes it represents, claiming that everyone else is getting a premium payout working during the event.

The ballot allows the union to name a date for a strike, but it has yet to do so. Unite said it was giving the British Athletics and Olympics board a final opportunity to consider the “landslide” ballot result before announcing possible strike dates early this week.

Unite Olympic official Peter Marx said that negotiations had been going on for a year: “Our members are only asking for an extra £17 a day, which will just about buy you a pint of ale and a portion of deep fried mars bars at the Olympics. Our members want the Games to be a success, but their patience has run out. Every single London worker will receive a reward to recognise their major contribution to this historic occasion except for London’s athletes. You try running three and half times round the track at full speed, it’s hard work, innit. What about the triple jump, you ever tried that? It’s hard work, and a few pounds more will help the athletes compete in the Olympics. This dispute could be brought to an end now if the British Olympics Board have the will to provide the relatively small amount of money compared to the billions being spent on the games already.”

Jonny Treadmill, BOB’s managing director, said: “This is a disgrace, the athletes will not get a pay rise and if they threaten to strike, they could get barred from the Games altogether.”

Olympic athletes have also threatened to cause mayhem at the Games if their demands are not met. British 100m sprinter, Usain Lightning, said angrily: “If I don’t get an extra few quid like everyone else seems to be getting, you won’t see any f*cking lighning out there on the track, just a snail. And I mean it too.”

Unite have even threatened to strike themselves because everyone else is doing it at the Olympics.

“During the Olympics we will strike as well unless our champagne socialist demands are met. I want another huge pay rise, holidays in Barbados, luncheons in Claridges and a diamond encrusted pension. If Bob Crow gets all that, why can’t I?” Mr Marx told the BBC.

British Summer Postponed Until July 2046

“We might get some sporadic sunshine for two or three weeks in 2046, if the forecasters have got their calculations right, otherwise it will be more of the usual I’m afraid,” Jenny Agadoo, a BBC weather spokeswoman said on the One Show.

The Met Office said that from July 2046 conditions are likely to begin slowly drying out but there is no sign that truly summery weather will arrive before that period.

A spokesman said: “Next year is going to be just one massive black cloud, then it will be a big grey cloud with a few spots of sunlight, then there will be storms all the way through and it will only be 2046 when we will have two three days of sunshine, otherwise we’re all going to have to grin and bear it I’m afraid. Stiff upper lip and all that.

“It’s not all doom and gloom though, next week we might see the sun in Southern Britain for twenty six minutes before the rains come again.”
