Jacqui Smith In Home Porn Scandal

JACQUI Smith, the pot-smoking Home Secretary, has been caught in an expenses row – using taxpayers’ money to pay for porn films.

Can the matter be explained as research into the sex industry she wishes to stamp on? Did any of the films feature East European slaves? And should we the taxpayers get to see the evidence and decide for ourselves?

Julie Bindel: Do you know anyone personally who has used a prostitute?

JS: [Hesitates] No.

Nigel Griffiths Stands Up For Freedom

PRIVACY laws were going to neuter the newspapers and make the media a place for PR and the party line. But thanks to Nigel Griffiths MP trying to silence the media, we can all reast easier:

Yesterday Mr Justice King ruled that “lying cheat Griffiths took dozens of pornographic pictures of his brunette mistress cavorting in his House of Commons office, then downloaded them on to his computer, he later claimed he was so drunk he could hardly remember the sex session” and the NOTW can publish them.

Full Text Of Daniel Hannan’s Speech To Gordon Brown

DANIEL Hannan on the internet – which has made him a star:

The internet has changed politics – changed it utterly and forever. Twenty-four hours ago, I made a three-minute speech in the European Parliament, aimed at Gordon Brown. I tipped off the BBC and some of the newspaper correspondents but, unsurprisingly, they ignored me: I am, after all, simply a backbench MEP. When I woke up this morning, my phone was clogged with texts, my email inbox with messages. Overnight, the YouTube clip of my remarks had attracted over 36,000 hits. By today, it was the most watched video in Britain.

How did it happen, in the absence of any media coverage? The answer is that political reporters no longer get to decide what’s news.

Jade Goody And George Galloway’s War On Terror

JADE Goody: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Jade Goody’s death, with George Galloway…

Glasgow Daily Record: “I Won’t Be Silenced By Canadian Tories”

It’s George Galloway.

BEING called a “street corner Cromwell” might in Galway or Cork be quite an insult.

But even Jade might have known that Oliver Cromwell is principally remembered as the champion of parliamentary supremacy and the hammer of autocracy and arbitrary power.

Obama For Very Gradual Change

OBAMA for very gradual change we can believe in…

Mark Steyn:

In turbulent times, it’s good to know some things never change. After a week in which President Obama thanked himself for inviting him to the White House, compared AIG executives to suicide bombers, and did the first Presidential retard joke on national TV, I was impressed to find that Slate is bravely keeping up its Bushism Of The Day feature.

Obama’s Video Message To North Korea

BARACK Obama makes an appeal to Iran, and follows that up by forming an alliance with North Korea – the Smokers’ Axis is in the making:

From the office of his supreme excellency and much-taller-than-he-looks in pictures Kim Jong-il:

“He also gave on-the-spot guidance to the Hoeryong Taesong Cigarette Factory….Seeing varieties of cigarettes being churned out from each machine and workshops kept neat and tidy, he expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the interior and exterior of the factory are spruced up in a hygienic and cultured manner and quality cigarettes are mass-produced thanks to the successful maintenance of its equipment and technical control. He advanced tasks to be carried out by the factory, calling on it to keep the cigarette production going at a high rate and further improve its quality.

Let’s hear it for smokers!

Obama Replaces Terrorism With Man-Caused Disasters

BARACK Obama has won the war on Terror. He and Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano, are now engaged in altogher trickier war: the war on the mind:

SPIEGEL: Madame Secretary, in your first testimony to the US Congress as Homeland Security Secretary you never mentioned the word “terrorism.” Does Islamist terrorism suddenly no longer pose a threat to your country?

Napolitano: Of course it does. I presume there is always a threat from terrorism. In my speech, although I did not use the word “terrorism,” I referred to “man-caused” disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur.

Obama’s Teleprompter Higher Approval Rating Then Obama

THEY say the best way to reach Barack Obama is via his telepromter., which is enjoying a two point approval raing highter than Obama.

Tim Blair wonders if we’ve heard the one about the President, an Irishman, and a teleprompter?

Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen was just a few paragraphs into an address at a St. Patrick’s Day celebration at the White House when he realized something sounded way too familiar. Turns out, he was repeating the speech President Barack Obama had just given …

Repeat. Recite. And commit to memory. We are all Obamas now:

Cowen was 20 seconds into his second address when it dawned on him that he was giving word for word the speech that Obama had just read from the same teleprompter.
