By  David Craig, on June 19th, 2012 I believe it was Peter Sellars in his last film role as Chauncey Gardner in Being There who taught the US president that after Spring comes Summer and after Summer comes Winter. For many months, we have been subjected to gushing reports from journalists – particularly those from the politically-correct BBC – about how Arabs are really jolly nice, tolerant, peace-loving people. All the Arabs needed, we were told, was to get rid of the ghastly Mubarak, Gaddafi and a few other leaders of their ilk and then the Middle East would be a paradise of happy, broad-minded, politically-progressive, Guardian-reading folk – a bit like Islington and Kensington where many of these journalists live. Of course, this was all tosh. As the Muslim Brotherhood look like being the winners in Egypt’s elections, there is a very good chance of renewed persecution of Egypt’s Coptic Christians, the probability of oppression of women, and the likelihood of Egypt moving closer to that other paragon of freedom and tolerance, Iran. Moreover, there is the almost certainty of Egypt tearing up its peace agreement with Israel and once again dedicating itself to the destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews.
We’ll probably see a similar scenario in the other ‘Arab Spring’ countries – intolerance, corruption, stupidity, oppression of women and minorities and governments using the supposed ‘enemy’ Israel to divert public attention from their own inability to create a free tolerant society. After Spring comes Summer and after Summer comes Winter. As Islamists take over country after country, we should be preparing for the Arab Winter – and it won’t be pretty.

By David Craig, on June 18th, 2012 Argentinian tennis player, David Nalbandian, was disqualified in the Queens tennis tournament final for kicking a hoarding that grazed a line judge’s leg. Although he apologised, the Agrentine buffoon blamed everyone but himself for his stupidity and loss of temper. Sorry mate, but I was at Queens watching Nalbandian on Friday. Whenever this turkey lost a key point (even though he was winning), he was swearing, kicking the walls around the court, hitting balls at the crowd and hitting his racket against anything within reach. This guy is a foul-tempered, disgraceful loser who has deservedly lost his £36,000 or so prize money and should b—–r off back to his worthless, bankrupt country. However, even more disgraceful is the fact that our useless police, who ignore crimes committed against law-abiding British citizens, have managed to find the time and resources to launch an investigation for assault against the Argentinian tosser.
Talking of Argentinian tossers, with the Argentine economy falling off a cliff under the country’s incompetent, corrupt leaders, the political elite there are desperately trying to divert public attention away from their own stupidity and greed by once again confronting Britain over sovereignty of the Falkland Islands. If Argentina’s rulers had not scuppered their own country, then Argentinians (even those as stupid as Nalbandian appears to be) would be so rich and so happy that they wouldn’t care who owned the Falklands.
By David Craig, on June 17th, 2012 Chancellor George Osborne may be as stupid and selfish as Gordon Brown and Ed Balls, but Boy George has realised one thing – he’s so crap at his job that he’s going to be a one-term chancellor. So George has a problem – how can he keep on earning millions if he can’t live off us taxpayers as an MP? The answer – get a well-paid sinecure with a bank. There are three ways of getting such a job. !. Apply and be interviewed – not much chance of thick, useless Osborne succeeding there. 2. You can choose the Blair route – give loads of honours and peerages etc to your banker friends. But now that’s been tried, so Osborne would look a bit naff if he used the same trick. 3. Take £140bn of taxpayers money and give it to your banker friends supposedly for them to lend to businesses. That’s what the worthless Osborne has done. Those of us with short memories may have forgotten Project Merlin – that was when the banks agreed to lend money to small businesses, but didn’t as they could make more profit by using their cash to speculate on things like oil prices and commodities, pushing the prices up for ordinary consumers.
And now that lying, worthless piece of garbage, Osborne, is handing his banking mates £140bn of our money that they can also use to gamble with while no doubt claiming they couldn’t find businesses to lend the money to. That repulsive (in my opinion) creature Angela Knight of the British Banking Association has welcomed Osborne’s move. Well she would, wouldn’t she, as this means even bigger bonuses for the scum in our banks.
But if you’re a soldier, sailor or pilot who has just received your redundancy papers, don’t be upset. The money saved by sacking you is going to a very good cause – making Osborne’s banking cronies even richer and getting Osborne a well-paid sinecure with a bank when the Tories deservedy lose the next election. You couldn’t make it up if you tried.

By David Craig, on June 15th, 2012 So now we know Osborne’s great plan for economic recovery – hand over even more of our money to his friends in banking supposedly to help businesses. That will be Bob Diamond’s Barclays which has cheated small businesses out of tens of millions by mis-selling them complex insurance against interest rate rises on their loans. That will be the crooks at HSBC, famous for mis-selling virtually worthless investments to the elderly and vulnerable, and who have more than a thousand subsidiaries in tax havens around the world to funnel their profits abroad and avoid UK tax. What Osborne needs to do is 1. Put all the Civil Service on a 4-day week and put the £200m a week saved into job creation schemes. 2. Abolish corporation tax, replacing it with retention of some VAT – this will slash tax evasion by our larger companies and create thousands of jobs.
But Osborne just gives more money to his banking friends. God help us!
As for our lying PM David Liar Cameron – he tells us that nobody wants a referendum on the EU. Well, Mr Liar, who apart from Barroso’s whore Nick Clegg wanted a referendum on AV? Nobody? Who wants a referendum on the EU – many millions of people.
A useless Chancellor who only cares about making his banking friends richer. A lying PM who has more in common with the corrupt, unelected Portuguese fool Barroso than with the people who voted for him. God help us all!

By David Craig, on June 14th, 2012 I wonder if my local public gardens represent much that is right and wrong with Britain today. On one side are the two bowling greens where those that have worked and paid taxes all their lives relax and play bowls. In the cafe, there are usually a few massively obese slobbish women with their noisy obese children eating a couple of burgers each. On the other side are the tennis courts, usually taken up by Polish immigrants playing tennis. Occasionally there are some British players, but it’s mostly Poles. But on the benches by the tennis courts there are always groups of drunk, lazy, swearing, foul-mouthed Brits, jeering and sceaming abuse as my wife and I and the various Polish couples try to play our tennis.
Firstly, I find it offensive that we cannot play tennis in peace without being harrassed by worthless, unemployed, unemployable British scum. Then I find it doubly offensive that I have to pay taxes so that the British human excrement have enough money to get drunk and then can then come and ruin my leisure time because they are too lazy, stupid and ignorant to find something useful and constructive to do with their own pointless lives. Perhaps I should move to Poland?

By David Craig, on June 13th, 2012 For weeks, Spanish pride and vanity prevented Spain’s incompetent leaders admitting their bankrupt country needed a bailout. This weekend these pompous idiots thought they’d come up with a brilliant solution that would allow them to get their greedy hands on over £80bn of European taxpayers’ cash to pour into the black hole of their own Gordon-Brownian financial incontinence while maintaining their supposed ‘dignity’. The country didn’t need a bailout, they said – it was just Spain’s banks. As stock markets shot up on the news of the bailout of Spain’s banks, the Euromidgets who run the eurozone cracked open the bubbly to celebrate their latest attempt to cover up the economic catastrophe ruining the PIIGS. Most observers predicted that this latest euro-fudge wouldn’t last a month. In fact it only lasted about four hours before financial market realised the whole thing was just a con by dithering fools unable to agree on how to save the eurozone’s economy from total collapse. Stock markets fell by the end of the day and the next day Spain’s and Italy’s borrowing costs hit record highs. So here are a few simple messages for the eurozone’s excuses for leaders because they seem to be as economically incompetent as our own equally useless George Osborne:
1. When a country has 25% unemployment (Spain, Greece and soon Italy and Portugal) and 50% unemployment amongst the young, it is impossible for that country to grow its way out of debt. 2. When a country is paying almost 7% to borrow, it is in a death spiral. 3. Borrowing costs for the PIIGS must be brought down to around 2%. The only way to do that is through eurobonds. 4. The money saved from debt repayments by reducing borrowing costs from 6.5% to 2% must be reinvested in labour-intensive infrastructure projects to start the virtuous spiral of more jobs leading to less unemployment leading to lower benefits payments and higher taxes leading to more money for investment projects. 5. The only way to save the eurozone’s economy is by moving from the current self-reinforcing death spiral to a virtuous spiral of more jobs, less benefits, more taxes, more money for investment.
It’s really quite simple, but unfortunately far too complicated for our totally worthless overpaid euroleaders.
By David Craig, on June 12th, 2012 Our (in my opinion) lying former PM, Gordon ‘Boom and Bust’ Brown did us all proud yesterday. At the Leveson inquiry he gave a performance that even that great actor Tony Blair would have envied. How Brown managed to keep a straight face while making the most preposterous (in my opinion) claims deserves our admiration. Brown, not a man known for being calm, claimed he wasn’t upset when the Sun moved its support from Brown to Cameron before the last election. Brown, who could never hide his desperation to get Blair out and instal himself into 10 Downing Street, claimed he didn’t know his aides were briefing the press against Blair. And on and on it went.
This (in my opinion) fool, this incompetent, this financially incontinent buffoon, this idiot who almost single-handedly bankrupted Britain (while Blair played at being a great international statesman), this joke of a chancellor who wasted over one and a half trillion pounds of our money, this curse of a self-obsessed, self-righteous, pompous, arrogant, sociopathic, brooding, bullying knave tried to play the part of an honest, humble, well-meaning, kindly family man. Could anybody really be taken in once again by our supposedly prudent ‘Iron Chancellor’ and probably the worst PM Britain has ever had?
By David Craig, on June 11th, 2012 Prize dumbo, Foreign Secretary William Hague, has just claimed that “the situation in Syria is like Bosnia in the 1990s” as he warns the country is on the brink of a civil war in the hope of getting popular backing for British military action. Well, Mr Hague, for a start the Bosnia conflict was between Orthodox Christians and Muslims – in Syria it’s Muslims slaughtering Muslims. So. no marks for historical accuracy. And how do we really know who is killing whom? All these supposed massacre horror stories could just be a rerun of Blair’s dodgy dossier claiming Iraq had WMDs – more lies from our lying politicians and an obedient press. Moreover, if a Muslim country wants to have a jolly good civil war, it’s really not our problem – let the other Muslim countries sort it out – they’ve got lots more money than we have. Plus, if we send our troops, then the Muslims will hate us even more than they hate each other – haven’t you learnt anything from the disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan, Mr Hague? A commentator on a newspaper website recently wrote that we should sit back, buy some popcorn and a few beers and watch what happens. This may sound heartless, but if Muslims desperately want to kill other Muslims because they belong to the wrong sect or wear a different coloured pair of trousers or whatever other stupid reason, we can’t and shouldn’t stop them.
And, Mr Hague and Mr Cameron, if you really want to intervene, I’d be happy to pay for guns and one-way plane tickets for both of you and then you can go and put your own lives at risk. But for God’s sake, you arrogant, self-righteous, multimillionaire cowards, if Muslims want to kill Muslims, let them get on with it, but don’t put the lives of any British troops in danger for no purpose at all ever again.
By David Craig, on June 10th, 2012 The worthless George Osborne is now bleating about how the eurozone crisis is damaging Britain’s supposed recovery. John Maynard Keynes is quoted as having said, “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?” With the eurozone in a much worse state than it was in 2010 when the Coalition scraped into power, one could say that the facts have changed – a depression in the eurozone, where we send 40% of our exports, will clearly harm our economy. But even though the facts have changed, utter tosser (in my opinion) Osborne refuses to change his policies. I think I can guess what Keynes would have said about that – and it wouldn’t necessarily have been polite.
Listen, Osborne you prat (in my opinion), we are not going to get growth from exporting our way out of debt, so you, yes you have to do something apart from making excuses and blaming everyone else for your incompetence. Here are just two things that even a dickhead (in my opinion) like you should understand Mr Osborne:
1. Declare a state of economic emergency, put all public-sector managerial and administrative staff on a 4-day week and use the £100m to £200m a week saved to put into building homes, roads, reservoirs, broadband networks and anything else that helps reduce unemployment. At the same time, you have to use some of this money to provide employers with a generous subsidy to take on the long-term unemployed so these new jobs go to British unemployed and not foreigners – remember at least 20 million Spaniards, Greeks, Portuguese and others will be thinking of moving to ‘benefits Britain’ to work or just leach off ordinary taxpayers.
2. Abolish Corporation Tax and replace it with retention of VAT so that all companies doing business in Britain have to pay tax on their operations and cannot use tax havens like Jersey and the Cayman Islands to avoid tax. This would also lead to many foreign companies moving their HQs to Britain creating hundreds of thousands of well-paid jobs
Being chancellor isn’t complicated, Mr Osborne, it’s just that you are too arrogant and incompetent to adapt your policies to changing circumstances.
By David Craig, on June 9th, 2012 After the furore over most of our 646 MPs stealing our money by fiddling their generous expenses, you’d have thought that this bunch of rogues and scoundrels would lay low for a while and moderate how much of our money they stole. You’d have been wrong. Very wrong. Instead of limiting their theft, our MPs have made it much easier to steal our cash. Supported by our lying, hypocritical PM, David “we’re all in this together” Cameron, MPs have had the rules on what they can claim relaxed. They’ve also been given another £5,000 a year each to pay their staff (often wives and children) because they say they’re so busy working for their constituents. MPs can now claim over £120,000 a year to pay their ‘staff’. But if they’re so busy working for their constituents, how come MPs have time to earn hundreds of thousands of pounds each doing second, third and even fourth jobs? If they’re so busy, how did David “give me money” Miliband have time to earn around £500,000 last year – a goodly part paid by an autocratic Arab country? And if we’re paying so much for MPs’ staff, are these staff actually purely doing the constituency and parliamentary work for which we’re paying? Or are they being used to help MPs with their many other money-making activities? Mr David “I’m a true socialist” Miliband – did you use the staff we pay for to help you earn your £500,000 or so last year? If so, are you not defrauding taxpayers?
The bottom line is that in 2010 we paid out about £118m in expenses and staff costs to our greedy, lying, thieving MPs. In 2010 this leapt by around 40% to over £164m. Some of this rise would have been due to the wonderful ‘golden goodbyes’ we paid to MPs who lost their seats in the 2010 election. But a lot of this would have been because even looser rules allowed this bunch of knaves and crooks to claim more, more, more. Scum the lot of them, from Cameron downwards. Lying, thieving, greedy, hypocritical, self-serving scum
