Greens: Budget Flying Is Committing Murder

NEWS that Caroline Lucas, leader of the Green Party, says “binge flying” is murder:

When asked if flying to Spain was as bad as knifing a person in the street, Ms Lucas said: ‘Yes – because they are dying from climate change.’

Everytime you take off, you knifing Gaia in the ribs. She turns her back and you cut her.

Labour’s NEC Rejects Derek Draper And LabourList

DEREK Draper is on his way out. The LabourList blog is now so currupted it’s not even used by members of the Labour Praty for Labour news. As Guido notes, Labour talks to Ian Dale, the Tory blogger:

Labour’s general-secretary Ray Collins has thrown him overboard already.  In an NEC announcement leaked to Iain Dale, rather than LabourList, the entertainment provided by Derek was brought to an end.

Obama’s Fake Turkey Trip To Iraq

GEORGE bush had a fake fake turkey. And now Obama has a fake turkey as he meets the “advisory assistance brigade” helping with those man-caused disasters… – Macsmind:

…about that “surprise visit”.

It wasn’t. The visit was communicated a full 24 hours in advance and a small contingent of soldiers – not screaming hordes – were rustled into a meeting place at Camp Victory.

Got this email from a sergeant that was there.

We were pre-screened, asked by officials “Who voted for Obama?”, and then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up.

Take a look at the picture at AP and notice all the cameras are the same models. Coincidence? I think not.

Revealed: The Emails That Did For ‘Brilliant’ Damian McBride

ANORAK has seen the emails telling of a Damian McBride’s plot to smear the Tories.

The damning verdict on Damian McBride is that the papers that lead with news of his departure refer to him not by name – “Key Brown side” (Observer; Sunday Times), “Attack Dog” (Mail) and “Key Brown advisor”.

The name is Damian McBride. And now he’s gone, we know who he is. The BBC publishes McBride’s resignation statement in full:

“I am shocked and appalled that, however they were obtained, these e-mails have been put into the public domain by Paul Staines.”

Anorak readers are well-versed in such apologies. And here McBride is quickly establishing a sympathetic background story.

When Derek Draper originally suggested using a website to compete with the kind of material seen regularly on the Guido Fawkes blog, he asked me in a personal capacity to write up some of the stories doing the rounds in Westminster.

The BNP Punishes The Banking Pigs

RICHARD North looks at how the BNP is trying to capitalise on the banking crisis:

You could pick any number of issues. Take, for instance, the latest terrorist threat, the effects of unrestrained immigration from the EU, or perhaps the insanity of votes for prisoners, driven by the European court of human rights.

Believing In The Tony Blair Faith Foundation

BECAUSE religion is about accepting a higher power, Tony Blair has called his new organisation about religion and God the Tony Blair Faith Foundation.

As he says:

“In the end you accept there is a higher power than yourself and that is both something that should make you fearful, but something that also is a source of comfort.”

Michelle Obama’s False Thumbs

WHAT can we say that has not already been said about Michelle Obama’s thumbs?

The New York Mag looks on:

Michelle Obama’s evolving style has the entire world hooked.

Doctors in the US are reporting a 200% year-on-year rise in thumb operations as millions try to get the Obama look.

“Happy Days,” says one surgeon. “Heyyyy.”

Stores are stocking up on thumb fashions, with Oscar de la Renta’s Summer Range for thumbs previewing in Milan.

Sarah Vine begins her article on Michelle Obama’s thumbs by summing up the 500 words that follow:

I know, you’re fed up with reading about Michelle Obama.

Intrepid, we read on:

I know, you’re fed up with reading about Michelle Obama. But let me just tempt you towards one last, tiny detail: the First Lady’s falsies. Michelle Obama is normally so natural looking, it’s surprising to find something about her that is so unapologetically fake.

Barack Obama’s Teleprompter Freezes

BARACK Obama, a man who thought he was good enough to be President of the USA, and then was vain enough to try – and he won the vote – is gaining in confidence. So says the New York Times:

Brave Obama was in Ankara:

Showing more self-confidence each day on his maiden overseas trip as president, Mr. Obama, in addressing a majority Muslim country for the first time, appeared to have prepared carefully for one particular line in his wide-ranging speech.

MR Ian Tomlinson died at the G20 protest in London. Mr Tomlinson died from natural causes, so says the post-mortem. Hours before Mr Tomlinson died, he was hit. He was hit from behind by a policeman’s baton. Hit on the legs. Mr Tomlinson had his hands in his pockets. He was pushed to the ground. From behind.

Police Link Obama To 321 Crimes

FOLLOWING news that Gordon Brown cannot tie a tie, news that he is not all that good at shaking hands, either.

Barack Obama and Gordon Brown walk into 10 Downing Street, where the US leader shakes the policeman’s hand, but Mr Brown declines the offer.

Of course, the copper is uncertain if Brown is the Prime Ministers – well, no-one voted for him – and he might just be a passer by on his way home from work or a protestor set to launch a vicious assault on the pavement.

“Obama is a flicker of hope in the middle of the imperialist darkness. There is a fear that they would liquidate him as they liquidated Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln.”
