By  David Craig, on June 27th, 2010 While the nation seems fixated on the result of the football match between England and Germany, perhaps there is another result which is more deserving of our attention. In the last week, 8 British soldiers died in Afghanistan.
This is a pointless war. We are seen as the occupying army propping up a corrupt and incompetent shambles of a government. We are losing. The Afghans know we will leave in a few years and then all those who collaborated with us will either be given asylum in Britain or be slaughtered. British lives are being thrown away for nothing. It’s a pity none of our greedy, expenses-fiddling politicians have the courage to admit the truth.
By David Craig, on June 25th, 2010 Our greedy, lying, self-serving, expenses-fiddling MPs have decided that to reduce the deficit we should all work longer before we get our pensions. Exempted from this, of course, are MPs and senior civil servants who will contine to be able to retire at 60 with full taxpayer-funded pensions plus generous tax-free cash pay-offs.
Our MPs and top civil servants have the most generous pension schemes in Britain. Any normal person would have to save over £50,000 each year in their pension fund to get the same pension as their MP or a senior civil servant. One law for the rich……..
By David Craig, on June 22nd, 2010 Rumours going round that Britain’s most senior diplomat in Afghanistan is going on extended leave after daring to suggest that the US/UK military offensive was failing and that we’d have to talk to the Taleban if we’re ever to get out of the Afghanistan impasse.
Most people in Britain have understood that we’re wasting our soldiers’ lives supporting a corrupt, puppet government which will not last a week after we pull out. But it seems Cameron is happy for more young British men and women to die unnecessarily rather than admit our political leaders got it wrong. Shame on you Cameron – how will you wash the blood from your hands?
By David Craig, on June 21st, 2010 Congratulations to the England fan who went to the team’s dressing room and told them they were rubbish.
Instead of charging the fan with trespass, the England players should be charged with impersonating a football team and obtaining a free trip to South Africa by deception. The manager should be charged for defrauding football fans of millions and the whole sorry bunch should be sent home.
By David Craig, on June 18th, 2010 Once again England’s overpaid, undertalented prima donnas can’t be bothered to even make an effort. Congratulations to the Algerian team for running England ragged.
Wouldn’t it be better (and save a lot of money) if England’s worthless, self-centered, preening third-raters just left the World Cup and came home?
By David Craig, on June 17th, 2010 While BP is forced to throw tens of billions of shareholders’ money into the pockets of US lawyers, BP’s bosses probably aren’t too worried about their own wealth. Last year Tony Hayward took home £4m in salary and bonuses, up 40% from the previous year as a reward for his cost (and corner?) cutting. BP’s Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg and other execs also got large salary increases.
While shareholder money evaporates faster than the oil in the Gulf of Mexico, BP bosses seem to have been filling up their own bank accounts. No surprise there then.
By David Craig, on June 16th, 2010 Crapello – the latest in a long line of overpaid and undertalented England managers – has claimed that Franz Beckenbauer has criticised the England team because the German team is afraid of England. I didn’t know the Italians were known for their sense of humour, but that surely must be a joke.
The Germans could thrash our useless, overcoiffed, underperforming, multimillionaire footballing prima donnas without breaking into a sweat. England are hopeless, send them home and spare us the humiliation of seeing them lose.
By David Craig, on June 15th, 2010 US company Union Carbide killed thousands of people in Bhopal (India) and polluted a huge area. But they paid just a few hundred million dollars in compensation. BP killed 11 people and also caused widespread pollution yet Obama wants billions. Perhaps Mr. Obama thinks that thousands of Indian lives are worth much less than a few Florida beaches.
Are you a racist, Mr. Obama?
By David Craig, on June 14th, 2010 Hopefully England’s excuse for a football team was watching Germany demolish Australia last night, in the way England should have demolished the USA.
Isn’t having Crapello’s bunch of overpaid, undertalented, self-indulgent prima donnas in South Africa just a waste of money? They can’t be bothered to play properly – as they’re all so rich anyway they’re not hungry to win. Why not just send them home now and save a lot of money? Leave the World Cup to teams that actually try to win.
By David Craig, on June 13th, 2010 It seems like the (I believe) politically compliant Sir Jock Stirrup will be leaving his post after his (I believe) incompetent mismanagement of the Afghanistan campaign.
I wonder if he feels like apologising to the families of soldiers who have died (I believe) unnecessarily, or will his massive pension (paid for by those families and the rest of us) manage to assuage any feelings of guilt over the buckets of blood on his hands?
