Princess Diana Wannabe Lady Gaga Drives Without A Seatbelt In Copycat Death Bid
LADY Gaga fears she will die like Princess Diana. Firstly, Diana is not dead, but living on the fabled Sixth Floor of the Harvey Nichols department store. Secondly, Jimmy Savile is only newly dead and his sage advice to “clunk click every trip” remains unheeded. (It is lamentable that man who was so very close to the Royal Family failed to get across to Diana the importance of buckling seat belts.)
For Lady Di, read Lady Gaga. The US singer has written a song track after dubbing the royal a “martyr for fame”.
The paparazzi were cleared of any blame in the accident that took Diana’s life. Earl Spencer, Diana’s brother, said any editors who traded in photographs of his sister had “blood on their hands“. Diana was “the most hunted person of the age“. Diana is forever a force of good, no longer a real person but a sainted martyr, an emotional icon. The media are the baddies who offed the queen of people’s hearts. Gaga has bought into the story told by the creepy BBC and opportunistic Tony Blair that Diana was a victim of her age who died for us while on holiday.

Scotland Pays For Chinese Panda Bears With Fishy Salmon And Turning A Blind Eye To Norway’s Nobel Woes
SCOTLAND gets those Chinese panda bears on hire for ten years, and China gets lots of Scottish salmon.
In October, the BBC reported that Scottish salmon suits Chinese tastes:
China has leapt into top spot in the Far East for Scottish salmon exports – just six months after it allowed seafood to be sent directly from Scotland for the first time. Data from HM Revenue and Customs revealed 2,347 tonnes of salmon were exported to the world’s most populous nation in the first half of 2011.
The Far East total for the period was 3,036 tonnes, worth £16m.
China is now the fifth largest export destination for Scottish salmon.
In January, the Scottish and Chinese governments reached an agreement to allow seafood exports directly from Scotland. The announcement was made when First Minister Alex Salmond met Vice-Premier Li during a visit to Scotland…
Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead hailed the figures as “a huge vote of confidence” in Scottish salmon and another boost for Scottish food exports.
He said: “If this is what can be achieved in the first six months, then the sky could be the limit for exports to China”…
Scottish Development International chief executive Anne MacColl said the announcement was “a true reflection” of Scotland’s reputation as a world-leading producer of high-quality seafood produce.
It’s a true reflection of something.

Sun, Telegraph And Daily Mail Use Rhea Page’s Attackers To Bash Muslims With Dishonest Reporting
RHEA Page, 22, was beaten up by an all-girl gang of three sisters and their cousin in Leicester city centre. As the women kicked and punched Page they allegedly yelled “Kill the white slag”.
The Daily Mail states this as a fact:
The four girls had screamed ‘kill the white slag’ as they kicked her.
The four Somalian girls are Muslim.
Page was with her boyfriend, Lewis Moore, 23, waiting for a taxi when she was attacked by Ambaro Maxamed, 24, Ayan Maxamed, 28, Hibo Maxamed, 24, and Ifrah Nur, 28.
Says Page:
“We were just minding our own business but they kept shouting ‘white bitch’ and ‘white slag’ at me. When I turned around one of them grabbed my hair then threw me on the ground. They were taking turns to kick me over and over. I thought they were going to kill me… Even after the police came and they all ran away, one of them came running back to kick me in the head one last time. I honestly think they attacked me just because I am white. I can’t think of any other reason.”

Tamara Ecclestone Blackmail Horror: Police’s News of the World’s Elite Story Unit Investigates
TAMARA Ecclestone, star of TV’s Billion $$ Girl – aka the recruitment video for UK Uncut, Occupy London and every other anti-capitalist movements – is embroiled in a “blackmail letter plot“.
The Sun reports:
THE daughter of Formula 1 billionaire Bernie Ecclestone has called in police over a blackmail bid. TV presenter and socialite Tamara Ecclestone is said to have been “horrified” after receiving threats to reveal details about her personal life.
Those bits of her personal life she not reveal to camera, and OK! magazine? Can it be that she’s holding something back?
Glamorous Tamara, 27, contacted cops on Monday after getting a letter from an extortionist who warned her he was about to release lurid claims from a former close friend. The heiress, who lives in a £45million mansion in Kensington, West London, was interviewed by detectives who are now treating the incident as blackmail.

Edinburgh Zoo’s Tian Tian and Yang Guang Kickstart 10 Years Of Waiting For Pandas To Have Sex (Photos)
TIAN Tian and Yang Guang have landed at Edinburgh Airport. They arrived on a specially-chartered non-stop flight from China. The eight-year-old breeding pair are now at Edinburgh Zoo, which will be their new home for the next 10 years. These are Britain’s first resident pandas in 17 years. And everyone want to know one thing: will they – you know – do it?
Well, both have already produced offspring, although not with each other. So when Tian Tian is up for it – during a “window” lasting for about 24-48 hour – Yang will be primed.
And the price for waiting for pandas to have sex is pretty high: the zoo has hired the pandas from China for around £650,000 a year, and will spend £70,000 on bamboo grown on the outskirts of Amsterdam.

Madeleine McCann: The Sun Uses Our Maddie To Look Good
MADELEINE McCann: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Our Maddie in the news…
The Sun’s front-page headlines screams:
“New move over kidnap – MADDIE COPS JET TO BARCELONA”
So. There is proof that Madeleine McCann was kidnapped?
No. Not yet.
Cynics might suppose the Sun’s headline is prompted less by actual news, of which there is little, and more on the paper’s need to look caring and loveable. The Sun, after all, is sister organ to the News of the World, now defunct, which published Kate McCanns’s diary without her permission.The NoTW apologised, but at the Leveson Inquiry into media standards Kate McCann spoke of the pain it caused her. She then sold the rights to her book to the Sun.

Campaigns To Get Cultural Institutions To Say No To Big Oil Money Tarnishes The Arts
A TOP TATE galleries official has sided with critics of the organisation’s sponsorship deal with BP, saying “When activists protest at, for example, events like the Tate summer party, that is a thoroughly good thing. It allows me to say: BP is a disgrace.”
The Independent reports that the official, Patrick Brill, who goes by the pseudonym Bob and Roberta Smith, is cited in a new publication issued by campaign groups Liberate Tate, Art Not Oil and Platform. Brill is one of 13 trustees who oversees the Tate galleries’ acquisitions and strategies. So his support for activists who oppose the acceptance of ‘oil money’ is a political victory of sorts for those activists.
The 2010 summer party Brill referred to in the report made headlines after a group of black-clad, Liberate Tate activists crashed it, pouring buckets of molasses over the party entrance. This was in protest against the party sponsor BP’s ventures, like its oil sands project in Canada, and its actions in the aftermath of the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Other groups have staged similar interventions and happenings since.

Mark Wright’s Night Of Tabloid Sex With Emily Scott (Photos)
ONE problem with McFly bassist Dougie Poynter winning I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! is that he’s not Mark Wright, star of The Only Way Is Essex and an OK!’s abort ‘n’ tell. The Sun presses on regardless, leading with a photo of Wright – and, vitally, Wright’s stomach – and the front-page headline:
“The only way is no sex Emily”
In boom times reality telly shows were all about waiting for the sex. In austerity Britain, it’s about not having sex or even getting off with each other in a hammock.
Says Wright of Emily Scott, his co-camper:
“Emily is a lovely person and a very pretty girl but there is no romantic interest there for me and I am not interested in starting a relationship with her.”
Over on the Mirror’s front page, the headline is:
“The Truth About Me And Emily”

Reading The Riots: A Vain And Futile Exercise For The LSE and Guardian’s Elite Social Therapists
WHY did people riot in August? Why did people in London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Nottingham, Manchester and Salford smash things up and steal stuff? It was any number of reasons. The LSE and the Guardian have interviewed 270 people involved in the riots and found that 90% of them were upset by the police.
Yep. Only 90%. You’d think all looters for whom the event was a less organised version of The Black Friday sales would all be pretty much anti-police. The Force will take heart.
The point of the LSE and Guardian’s exercise, called Reading The Riots, seems unclear. The tagline declares: “Investigating England’s summer of disorder“. But this is no police job. We know who dunnit. We know the police are liars. We know Mark Duggan is dead. We know who went out on the rob. We saw their faces. Well, we saw the faces of the looters not bright enough to cover their mushes with scarves. No. This is about the elite – big media, academics, police and politicians scrapping over who should take the blame and who gets glory of being right.

Mourn Porn And Orchestrated Grief At The Gravesend Raped Baby Show
IN Gravesend, Kent, a baby has been raped. Well, so they say. The baby was beaten so badly that his heart stopped beating. Well, so they say. An infant is in a terrible way at King’s College Hospital. But the facts are sketchy. All we know for certain is that a man aged 35 and a woman aged 33 were arrested and released on police bail.
How serious is police bail? Well, the Home Office says:
If you’ve been charged with a serious offence, you may be refused release and remanded in custody until trial. If you are found guilty, the time spent in prison before trial will be deducted from your sentence.
The man and the woman are free. Police bails is:
You can’t be kept at a police station for more than 24 hours without being charged, although this can be extended to 36 hours with the authority of a police superintendent, and for up to 96 hours with the authority of a magistrate. The one exception is for arrests under the Terrorism Act, where you can be held without charge for up to 14 days.
If there’s not enough evidence to charge you, you can be released on police bail. You don’t have to pay to be released on police bail, but you’ll have to return to the station for further questioning when asked. If you’re charged and the police think there’s a risk that you may commit another offence, fail to turn up at court, intimidate other witnesses or obstruct the course of justice, they can impose conditional bail. This means your freedom will be restricted in some way. For example, a curfew may be imposed on you if your offence was committed at night.
If you’ve been charged with a serious offence, you may be refused release and remanded in custody until trial. If you are found guilty, the time spent in prison before trial will be deducted from your sentence.
But outside the home of the one-month old baby, a mob has formed. They are holding a candle lit vigil. The grim orchestrated public grief is in full swing. Teddy bears are on the pavement. There’s a minute’s silence. Soon there will be balloons and ribbons. Now there are Chinese lanterns. Maybe Ed Balls can rock up and fight with David Cameron for the role of dignified mourner in chief, as they rowed over Baby P because “as a dad…” they understood.
The mourn porn is contagious.

Lover Tattoos Massive Shit On Cheating Lover’s Back (Photos)
TATTOO of The Day: When Dayton, Ohio, tattoo artist Ryan L. Fitzjerald heard his lover Rossie Brovent was cheating on him he offered to ink her back.
He suggested that her back would look great with a scene from Narnia tattooed on it. She agreed. Fitzjerald handed her a consent form that said that the design was “at the artist’s discretion“. She signed it. She never read it. He then used his discretion to tattoo a giant steaming turd on her back.
The lovers are no longer together. She is now suing him for $100,000. She says Ryan got her drunk before she signed the form.

Is Emma West A Victim Of A Twitter Hunt? Tweeters Want My Tram Experience Woman Raped, Shot And Knifed
EMMA West, 34, of New Addington, has been changed with a racially-aggravated public order offence for her racist rant on the Croydon-to-Wimbledon Tramlink route.
She will appear before Croydon Magistrates’ Court.
The Sun calls her the “Mother Of All Racists”. And that seems harsh on her son, who says nothing throughout his mum’s tirade, preferring to play with his (white) action doll.
It was Kate Hollignsworth who recorded the episode. She later tweeted:
“Ok so this women’s been arrest[ed]. I guess my video was a success. This has caused quite a bit of hype.”

Are The Tabloids And PFA Glamourising Gary Speed’s Suicide?
CAN the Sun turn Gary Speed’s death into a campaign?
Well, it can try to.
The headline runs:

No, not a guide to getting depressed. You can’t catch it. But “footie stars” – 50,000 of them! – are being taught about depression. Get a lod of those “aces” who suffer from the illness.

Elvis’s Secret ‘Daughter’ Lisa Johansen Sues Presley Estate For $130m: What Dennis Hopper Knew
IS Lisa Johansen the daughter to Elvis Presley?
You can, of course, asks Elvis if it’s true. You only need to press “6” on the middle lift’s panel at the Harvey Nichols department store, Knightsbridge.
Or you can just put in a $130m claim against the Presley estate for “alleged defamation and infliction of emotional distress“.
Johansen penned the 1998 memoir I, Lisa Marie: The True Story of Elvis Presley’s Real Daughter. In it, she claimed to be Priscilla Presley and Elvis’ daughter.

Lynette White Murder: Police Destroyed Evidence Against Police And Made A Farce Of The Law
A READER writes on how the UK is becoming a “police state”. He writes in light of the murder of Lynette White, who on 14 February, 1988, was stabbed to death in her Cardiff flat. Tony Paris, Yusef Abdullahi and Stephen Miller were wrongly jailed for life in 1990. In 1992 they were released; their convictions quashed.
Also damaged by the gross miscarriage of justice were John and Ronnie Actie, who were acquitted of any offence. Good. But before the trial they had already spent two years in prison.
In September 2000, a review of the case led to the arrest of Jeffrey Gafoor. He was trapped by DNA. In July 2003, he was jailed for life for the murder.
But why did the three innocent men get sent down? Why did the Crown Prosecution Service send the innocent men to court? Why did eyewitnesses, Leanne Vilday, Angela Psaila and Mark Grommek say they saw the Cardiff Three at the crime scene?

Skegness CID Turn Hunt For Twitter Twat Who Racially Abused Man City’s Micah Richards Into A PR Exercise
DID you racially abuse Manchester City and England players Micah Richards on Twittre? Did you twat an offensive email from somewhere in Lincolnshire?
Well, if you did, you’d best worry. Police are looking for you. And if they catch you they’ll… They’ll. Well, what? Spend a lot of time and money taking you to court to make an example of you?
Det Insp Andy Wardell, from Skegness CID, says:
“Whilst the investigation is still in its early stages, Lincolnshire Police will be conducting a robust enquiry and wish to make it clear from the outset that racist comments aimed at anybody, not just those in the media spotlight, will not be tolerated and those committing such offences can expect to be pursued and dealt with under the relevant legislation.”

Jeremy Clarkson Is Raped And Shot In The Face In Joke Taken Too Far, Say Some
JEREMY Clarkson says of the striking public sector workers:
“I’d have them all shot. I would take them outside and execute them in front of their families. I mean, how dare they go on strike when they have got these gilt-edged pensions that are going to be guaranteed while the rest of us have to work for a living?”
He does not say who would shoot them, but we imagine it would be winners of the Clarkson Lottery or members of the Emma West Twitter Hunt. Or Richard Hammond, Clarkson’s chief lickspittle on Top Gear. No, he wouldn’t do it. He’d just agree with Jeremy that it should be done and snigger. The killer would be James May.

Therapy Industry Is Using Gary Speed’s Death To Advertise Its Services
MORE Gary Speed opportunism in the Scotsman, where Nicola Peckett, head of communications at the Samaritans, uses the Wales manager’s death to promote her own cause…
Nicola Peckett: Gary Speed in group most at risk from suicide
But we do not know what Gary Speed died. How can he represent an entire demographic?
The group most likely to take their life through suicide is men in their 30s, 40s and 50s. That is quite different to what most people think, as they tend to believe younger men are more at risk. Three out of four people who die by suicide in the UK are men, and those from poorer backgrounds have the highest risk. But suicide can also affect people from more affluent backgrounds, who appear to be successful in their work and home lives.
