* America and England - The special Relationship.
I have been informed that the special relationship between America and England will be ending shortly when we make the final payment owed to the Yanks for the War Debt. This War Debt was incurred during WW II and now after about 70 years we've paid it off. This was money to pay the Yanks for joining in and saving us from Hitler and for supplying us with ships and tanks. This makes the American ships and tanks the most expensive ships and tanks ever, as President Truman remarked at the time, 'Boy are those Limeys the dumbest guys you've met or what?'. As far as I know the money loaned had to be spent in the USA.
It maybe that the special relationship will be continued, the Americans may want us to pay for being allowed to join in when they invaded Iraq. Who knows what Tony Baloney and the other worthless baby-boomers in the government have agreed.

* Taxes on booze.
The government seems quite happy to raise taxes on flying and petrol but the cost of booze has never been cheaper. The treasury said it was not their responsibility to control British drinking habits. I seem to remember that it was their responsibility to control tobacco smoking habits. Its the old formula, debt and booze keeps the public happy.

* Plutonium 210
The story continues, you couldn't make it up, now we have a death-bed conversion to Islam. Not only that but the way plutonium 210 is turning up it looks like it was being scattered around by the fairies. The Russian refusal to extradite Russians who might be involved in this pantomime to England was given much publicity the fact that the government refuses to extradite Russians to Russia never got a mention.

In the film 'Aliens' Ms Ripley asks the question ' Have IQs dropped since I've been away?'. Looks like the answer in England is yes.


* B B & F - Channel 4.
Somebody reminded me that channel 4 show the excellent 'Bremner, Bird and Fortune' program. OK then one thing right. Brilliant show though.
