By  David Craig, on June 29th, 2012 As we gradually find out that Barclays and other banks have been defrauding us of billions, the political elites are struggling to look like they’re appalled while at the same time protecting their friends, donors and masters at the big banks. Our lying PM, David Liar Cameron, hopes to fob off public anger by looking Churchillian and saying ‘Barclays have very serious questions to answer’. By this he probably means, ‘don’t worry Bob, I’ll do what I can to look after you, as long as you give George and I wonderful, well-paid jobs when we get thrown out of office in 2015’.
Dear Mr Cameron, if Barclays have ‘serious questions to answer’ then why not send in the police, have ‘crook’ Diamond arrested and have him charged for fraud? And you could have Goodwin get the same treatment. But, of course, Liar Cameron will do nothing as the political and banking elite are ‘all in this together’, all getting rich by stealing our money while austerity is just for oiks.
But we have a chance to bring the thieves and fraudsters at Barclays to their knees. If every Barclays customer wrote to their bank demanding a detailed statement of how much they have personally lost due to Barclays defrauding them and demanding compensation, we could deluge the Barclays fraudsters and bring their worthless bank to a grinding halt.

By David Craig, on June 28th, 2012 Bob Diamond’s Barclays have been caught cheating their customers yet again. A year or so ago they were exposed as having defrauded tens of thousands of often elderly savers of many millions by selling them high risk garbage (totally rubbish Aviva funds) while claiming they were low-risk and safe. Now Barclays have been caught defrauding both savers and people with mortgages by fixing bank lending rates at artificial levels. And Barclays still have to be investigated for allegedly defrauding many small businesses by mis-selling them complex interest rate insurance which cost businesses many tens of thousands of pounds and drove some into bankruptcy. So what is Bob Diamond’s reaction? He’ll pretend to give up a bit of his bonus till the storm blows over.
As for Goodwin – if I remember correctly, he orchestrated a massive share sale at RBS using ‘dodgy dossier’ figures to possibly defraud (in my opinion) investors shortly before RBS went bankrupt. That is (in my opinion) false accounting, obtaining money by deception and fraud.
So when will Inspector Knacker be investigating these two (in my opinion) ‘crooks’? Never! Because both Diamond and Goodwin have friends in high places and so can ignore the laws that the rest of us have to obey.
Meanwhile over in Ireland, their bank bosses are getting away with outright theft. Hundreds of millions of euros of loans made by Ireland’s bankrupt banks were to bank bosses and their friends. These loans will never be repaid. And Irish taxpayers are footing the bill for these crooks’ theft. But have any been prosecuted? Not a hope – they’re protected by the Irish political mafia who all benefited from the scams that bankrupted the country.

By David Craig, on June 27th, 2012 At a recent event our lying PM David Liar Cameron told an absolute whopper. He claimed the 2012 London Olympics are on budget. Sorry, mate but that’s a lie and you are a liar. The original budget for us taxpayers for the Olympics was around £2.4 billion. That was the basis on which London ‘won’ the right to stage the Olympics. Now multimillionaire Sebastian Coe and his multimillionaire cronies are planning to spend somewhere around £9 billion of our money – some of it on themselves and, of course, a bit on the Games.
Dear Mr Cameron with a budget of £2.4 billion and an actual spend of around £9 billion, the London Olympics are NOT on budget. Mr Cameron, would you please apologise for lying to us?

By David Craig, on June 27th, 2012 Yesterday I contacted three journalists who had been covering the NatWest chaos – from the Telegraph, FT and Daily Mail. I suggested that as the NatWest mess started at around the same time as the whole BT Broadband network went down for several hours, that this was not a coincidence, but was actually due to cyber attacks on the two companies who both blamed their problems on system ‘upgrades’.
Naturally, all three journalists ignored my email. So there you have it. There was no ‘cyber attack’. I am just a deranged, lunatic conspiracy theorist. And it was purely a coincidence that both NatWest and BT had massive IT systems failures at exactly the same time.

By David Craig, on June 26th, 2012 There was a strange coincidence last week. At about the same time (morning of Thursday 21 June) as the NatWest had its supposed computer crash, BT’s broadband services for the whole of Britain also went down. In BT’s case, it only took about 4 hours to restore services, NatWest have obviously taken a bit longer. Both NatWest and BT blamed the problems on ‘computer upgrades’ that hadn’t worked as planned. I spoke at length to one of BT’s Indian call centres to try to get some understanding of what the supposed ‘upgrade’ was and why nobody had known about it before it went ahead, but nobody could answer my questions as they were all reading from the same prepared script. Then in a speech yesterday, the head of Britain’s security services said there had been a series of cyber attacks by foreign countries on some major British companies, in one case costing a company about £800m.
I’m not a mad conspiracy theorist who believes Elvis is alive and well and living in Milton Keynes or that President Kennedy was shot by aliens. However, I am tempted to put two and two together and conclude that both BT and NatWest were actually hit by cyber attacks and that management of both companies (encouraged by our security services) used the same excuse of a ‘systems upgrade’ to explain away their problems because they don’t want to admit how vulnerable their systems are.

By David Craig, on June 25th, 2012 Pathetic, dismal, boring, unadventurous, cowardly – is there any other way to describe the England football team’s half-hearted efforts at the euro 2012 tournament? In none of their games have the England team even attempted to attack. Instead they cower in their own half and then wonder why they can’t score any goals. As for the useless FA – once again they waste tens of millions hiring a manager who can’t hack it. The problem is that England footballers earn so much money from their clubs and their tax avoidance schemes, that they can’t be arsed to try when playing for their country. In fact, the whole euro 2012 tournament was an unwelcome interruption to the players’ summer holidays.
Now they’re out, our multimillionaire players can go back to their luxury yachts and relax for a couple of months. In the changing room, they’ll probably all be laughing at their luck in being able to go back on holiday and they’ll probably all be congratulating Ashley Cole for dribbling the ball weakly into the Italian goalkeeper’s hands during the penalty shootout, After all, if Ashley Cole hadn’t flopped, the England team might have had to postpone their holidays and play Germany. Perhaps the England team’s official song should be Cliff Richard’s Summer Holiday – “we’re all going on a summer holiday, to do the things we’ve always wanted to….”
As for Germany, they’ll be sad to see England go. The Germans were hoping England would stay as England’s deadbeats would be so easy to beat.

By David Craig, on June 24th, 2012 It looks like self-confessed liar and thief Lib Dem David Laws is trying to get his job back as a government minister. This liar and thief has just written an article in some magazine claiming there should be more cuts and some major changes to the tax system. In today’s Daily Telegraph, there’s a sycophantically gushing article about liar and thief Laws and his views. The brown-nosing journalist calls liar and thief Laws “respected” and a “Liberal Democrat heavyweight”. Hold on, the guy is just (in my opinion) a lying, thieving, self-serving scumbag. He should have been sacked when caught lying and stealing our money. But instead he was allowed to resign from the Cabinet and keep his MP’s job with its big salary and easily fiddleable expenses. Highly respected, my a..e! Heavyweight, pull the other one! Yet such is the morality (or lack of morality) of all our lying, thieving politicians of all parties, that I’ve no doubt Laws will soon be welcomed back in government. After all, he’s one of them – the lying, thieving elite who couldn’t give a toss about the people stupid enough to vote for them and pay their huge salaries and expenses.
A TV programme on the BBC last night about Wallis Simpson and Edward VIII reminded us of a few things that we might have forgotten. That Edward VIII was a boring, stupid, self-obsessed, lazy, constantly complaining, selfish, social and sexual inadequate who could only get it on when with an older, uglier woman. Does that remind you of anyone, Prince Charles? But at least the worthless Edward VIII did have the good grace to abdicate and bugger off with our money to his French chateau. Unfortunately for us, the pointless Edward VIII clone, Prince Charles, actually wants to become King even though this will do more to destroy the royalty than Oliver Cromwell ever achieved. Sadly, none of Charles’ advisers (hi Fiona!) has the balls to tell this delusional buffoon that nobody respects him, that most people think he is a joke and that, if he becomes King, Australia, Canada and New Zealand will quickly become republics – they don’t want Charles’ stupid face on their currencies and they certainly don’t want to pretend they respect him. So, Charles, here’s some free advice – much cheaper than that the fragrant Fiona is giving you – just p… off to your estates and stay there making your biscuits and cheese and whatever for Waitrose. Then Granny Elizabeth can retire and dream couple Edward and Kate can take over representing ‘The Firm’.

By David Craig, on June 23rd, 2012 The (in my opinion) ‘cowardly, lying, greasy little sh-t’ Ed Miliband will do or say anything to get elected. First he ‘admits’ Labour got it wrong on the economy, then he ‘admits’ Labour got it wrong on immigration. But if he deserves to be our leader, he must have known this for years. So why didn’t he mention his concerns about the economy and immigration when he was in government? Because that would have harmed this (in my opinion) ‘cowardly, lying, greasy little sh-t’s’ career. So he said nothing and did nothing. Do we really want a ‘cowardly, lying, greasy little sh-t’ as PM? Trouble is, you’ll probably answer that nothing could be worse than the (in my opinion) ‘incompetent, self-serving, lying slimebags’ Cameron, Osborne and Clegg.
As the politically-correct BBC gushes on and on about the wonderful Arab Spring, it looks like Egyptians are gearing up for a wonderfully bloody civil war. Both sides in Egypt’s presidential election have warned of ‘dire consequences’ if the other side wins. I guess it’s time to buy some popcorn and a few beers, settle back in front of the TV to watch the action. Though no doubt the worthless liar Cameron and the multimillionaire Hague will start beating the war drums and claiming that we should send in British troops to be slaughtered by the mad Muslims. Mr Cameron and Mr Hague, if Egyptians want a civil war, sell them the weapons and let them get on with it – it’s not our problem.
As Sinn Fein’s Martin McGuinness prepares to meet the Queen, one could ask what all the years of IRA violence achieved. All I can see is very well-paid jobs for some Sinn Fein bosses as ministers in the Northern Ireland government and for five of them as Westminster MPs. This also gives the five Sinn Fein MPs the opportunity to claim hundreds of thousands of pounds (£21,000 a year each) of second home expenses on three properties in North London all owned by the same landlord, even though the fabulously wealthy five refuse to take up their seats in the House of Commons. But nobody dares say anything for fear of upsetting the fabulously wealthy five. As the Who warned us in Won’t Get Fooled Again – “meet the new boss, same as the old boss”. Meanwhile ordinary IRA supporters got nothing from all the years of pointless fighting.

By David Craig, on June 22nd, 2012 Yesterday on the Daily Politics I saw the pathetic sight of BMA chairman Hamish ‘Misery Guts’ Meldrum, a truly depressingly miserable and charisma-free Scot, trying to argue that although we are all living longer, doctors’ £68,000 or so a year pensions should be protected by giving them huge wads of taxpayers’ cash. Hamish, it won’t wash. Ordinary people are being savaged by the recession, hundreds of thousands have lost their jobs, tens of thousands have lost their homes. Wake up Hamish, nobody believes your moaning and complaining. Under the utterly incompetent fools Brown and Balls, doctors got huge pay and pension rises for doing less work. Most doctors are now getting over £100,000 a year for rather fewer working hours than ever before. In fact, doctors are earning so much money that just the whiff of an income tax inspector is enough for many to quickly hand over about £300,000 each following ‘mistakes’ in their income tax declarations.
So, Hamish, why not shut it and go back to work? You really are (in my opinion) a miserable, charisma-free, depressing, selfish, truth-denying dickhead – a true ‘Horrible Hamish’

By David Craig, on June 20th, 2012 The (in my opinion) ‘corrupt, unelected, pompous, lying, buffoon’ Jose Manuel Barroso seems to have lost his rag during a press conference at the G20 meeting in Mexico. “Frankly”, he said apparently quite angrily, “we are not here to receive lessons in terms of democracy or in terms of how to handle the economy”. So who is this Barroso? A minor nobody from a totally bankrupt small PIIGS country – Portugal. He is unelected and runs an organisation that does not recognise the results of elections. Whenever some lousy EU treaty is rejected by voters, then voters are just ordered by the EU to vote again and again till they get the ‘right’ result. None of the members of Barroso’s EU Commission are elected either – they are appointed by national governments, usually because of their sycophantic support of some leader or other. The 40,000 people who work for Mr Barroso are mostly idle, overpaid, over-pensioned, self-serving and thoroughly corrupt. About £30bn of the £100bn or so that Mr Barroso’s EU spends each year are lost due to waste, incompetence and corruption. The EU countries are dragging the whole world economy into a prolongued depression because of the economic incompetence of the laughable Barroso, the ludicrous Van Rompuy and the other jokes who supposedly lead the EU. Barroso’s EU has destroyed millions of European jobs because the flood of EU rules and regulations makes it almost impossible for firms based in Europe to compete in international markets. And the EU has foisted the lie of global warming on us and used this to push up our taxes and destroy even more European jobs.
The (in my opinion) ‘corrupt, unelected, pompous, lying buffoon’ Barroso may claim he doesn’t need lessons in democracy and economic management. I would disagree – it’s precisely the EU’s autocratic, undemocratic attitudes and economic incompetence which have caused the problems that are intensifying unemployment, misery and widespread social breakdown throughout Europe. Maybe it’s time for this worthless fool to be pensioned off (at our expense) and replaced by someone who can listen and learn.
