Strangely Perfect

MP Expenses and Privileges Scandal Let’s make one thing absolutely clear: Apart from 635 MPs and the somewhat fewer UK MEPs, NOT ONE PERSON IN BRITAIN THINKS ANY DIFFERENTLY FROM ME! *** We all think that they’re all a bunch of spivving crooks who’ve let everyone down.  To compound the felony, they will even get paid [...]

Pre-script Comments are now closed on this posting as Google Treasure Chest is dead. However, the problem has not gone away – the menace continues. For further information, all chat on this and subsequent scams is now here: Google Revolution, Different Name, Same Scam! and here: More on Google Profits and Pacific Webworks/ Introduction Notice [...]

Why Economists and Scam Merchants are the Same Today’s news that the cost of the global credit crunch meltdown has quadrupled in a year should come as no surprise to followers of the GoogleTreasureChest scamsters.  See : Meltdown losses of ‘$4 trillion’ Last year, the highly salaried ‘professional’ economists at the IMF, many having spent [...]

British Torture and Denial of Human Rights On the day that some Serbian leaders were convicted and others released as free men following charges for war crimes, (see Kosovo trial clears Serbia leader ), a UK minister, John Hutton, has “apologised for previously incorrect answers to MPs” (I’d call that lying in a normal language), and [...]

Admiral Mark Fitzgerald told the BBC that  Somali pirates ‘hard to defeat’.  So even though NATO want to install missiles all over Europe to counter a mythical threat, and even though they have highly advanced RADAR, monitoring and communication systems, they still can’t manage to do what the Royal Navy did very effectively 200 years ago [...]

- well not exactly – yet!  But I’ll let you know soon. Today’s news that Key finance firms will be ‘probed by FBI’ should be a bit of a pointer. If you take the opinion, as I do, that the difference between swindling and incompetence with regard to the actions of professional people within their [...]

Yet again, the proposed implementation of ID Cards and the security of anyone’s data within that system appears to be as mistaken a plan as anyone’s since the Charge of the Light Brigade. Despite the fact that the “Charge” was a military disaster (little known) succeeding against the odds in the objective of taking “The [...]

In my capacity at work, if I steal something from a member of the public while they are on site, I’d get interviewed by the police and prosecuted under the law of the land. Bizarrely, in TV land they don’t work to our laws.  If they steal from the public, the company gets fined by [...]

This is the continuing story of pointing out media “information” that is made into political “comment” fuelling whatever trend is needed at a moment in time. This article, UK economic growth slows sharply, in tandem with this story and this story reporting the same fact, show that the UK economy grew 0.2% in the last [...]

Three news items on the BBC today… Top UK politician loses confidential data aka Hazel loses it UK Prime Minister says that the government storing all our personal data is a “good thing” and will keep us safe. aka Gordon loses it A Romanian village elects a dead mayor. aka dead politician loses it – [...]

Yesterday’s revelation that some more files marked “secret” or something have gone missing puts me at odds with the statements emanating from the Tories. The tories are saying the government is presiding over a “culture of carelessness”. Well they have a lot to gain from a government that looks incompetent. However, it’s strikes me as [...]

I had two interesting calls yesterday from foreign gentlemen. Their basic call went thus: “Hello, is that Mr Rees?”    Hmm I replied. “Hi, I’m Simon from LHR. Someone, either you or someone from your address has made an insurance claim from your address recently…”   “Who exactly are you?” I said. He then repeated the first [...]
