The Plot To Kill Gordon Brown, Aka Gordan Brown

jihad-for-dummies-228x300 The Plot To Kill Gordon Brown, Aka Gordan BrownFIVE people have been arrested in alleged plot to kill Gordon Brown, or..:

The message, written in English, allegedly included a threat to target “all the political leaders, especially Tony Blair and Gordan (sic) Brown”.

A damning indiuctment of our education system, and a pretty shoddy showing for Gordon Brown, who after an entire year in power is known among alleged extremists as “Gordan”. Are all, alleged, jihadis thick?

Smoking Graz: Pete Doherty’s Home Movies In Austria

OVER the news wires, Anorak learns that “troubled” singer Pete Doherty is to show “an unseen homemade movie about his life in an Austrian cinema”.

Doherty’s trouble seem to be that narcotics are illegal and addictive. Other than that he seems to be doing just fine making a living from getting off his face and singing half-finished Donovan songs.

And what of Austria, a fine place to show your home movies, perhaps on a cellar wall in the company of the good old boys, who might want to share some footage of their youth in Salzburg, Berlin, Warsaw and Greece.

The One About The Rottweiler, The South African Boy And The Pit Bull

rottweiler_pet5 The One About The Rottweiler, The South African Boy And The Pit BullA TWO-year old, a pit bull dog and a Rottweiler are walking through Oakdean, south of Johannesburg.

No, it’s not a new challenge on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! And if the boy had been drinking cherry cola and sweets all day, he would be a fearsome predator.

Russia Gives The West The Finger

russia-finger-press Russia Gives The West The FingerRUSSIA has given the West the finger. Barack Obama understands.

Russian troops are pulling out of Georgia.

And Russian peacekeepers – who look a lot like Russian troops, although even more peaceful – are staying put.

This picture is on the front of a Russian news organ. And the second one too (after the jump).

Council Bans The Man In The Street, Mr, Mrs And Laydees

man-in-the-street Council Bans The Man In The Street, Mr, Mrs And LaydeesA DIRECTIVE to members and staff of Chichester District Council, West Sussex, instructs them to resist and desist form using the phrase “the man in the street”.

The phrase is deemed “inherently sexist, not a fair reflection of reality, and makes the views or work of women invisible”. Quite so. Staff are instructed to use “a positive alternative” such as “the general public”.

Anorak imagines that the phrase rankles with the missive’s writer, and like all pet hates it is irrational.

Rednecks Under The Bed: Barack Obama’s Not Shot Yet

rednecks-obama-kill Rednecks Under The Bed: Barack Obamas Not Shot YetIT’S The Barack Obama Death Cult. It’s the fear that grips us all…

THE plot to kill Barack Obama – the Barack Obama Death Cult – sees three more persons held by police.

At least that’s what the Sun says on its front page. It’s the “plot to kill Obama,” says the Express on its cover.

There were four people, which means either one is on the loose, or else has been adopted by Russian agents/ the Far Right/ the CIA/ the Mafia/ The Taliban/ Hillary Clinton/ Joe Biden fans to kill Obama at a later date.
