			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a responsible member of the press I wholeheartedly condemn the disgraceful behaviour of the party I <em>don&#8217;t</em> support in consorting with Russian oligarchs on their yachts in warm climates and there conducting all manner of underhand and quite probably illegal activities. I am determined to get to the bottom of it.</p>
<p>At the same time, I am delighted to hear that the party I <em>do</em> support has conducted a thorough review of all its dealings with Russian oligarchs on their yachts and has found all allegations of impropriety to be entirely groundless. I trust this will be the end of the matter.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A man with a plan, not a miracle cure. A striking change of tone. A speech delivered with gravitas and conviction, but shot through with a rich vein of humour. A natural born leader seizing the mantle of Mrs Thatcher. A man for all seasons. Nice totty for a wife. Our next Prime Minister.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s how a demented, blue-haired, swivel-eyed, octogenarian maniac <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1065942/Cameron-dons-mantle-Thatcher-insist-Im-man-lead-Britain.html">might have described</a> David Cameron&#8217;s smug, vapid, nauseating, disingenuous, pointless, dessicated husk of an address to the Tory party conference yesterday.</p>
<p>I, on the other hand, might have described it rather differently.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a heads up: if you live near a late-night shopping centre you might want to pop out pronto for some shorts. Just heard on the radio that the FSA is clamping down on them from midnight so if we have an Indian summer you&#8217;ll be up shit creek.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong><br />
Sorry, my mistake: it&#8217;s <em>short</em> selling they&#8217;re talking about. About time too: imagine if they&#8217;d dithered until a big bank went pop.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Senator Obama&#8217;s <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/sep/11/uselections2008.barackobama1">pig comment</a> may be raising eyebrows in the States, but over here in the UK it&#8217;s raised the spectre of an all too similar comment made almost 30 years ago. I am of course referring to Jim Callaghan&#8217;s fateful remark in the run-up to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_general_election,_1979">1979 general election</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>You can give a pig a big hairdo and a blue handbag and elect it leader of the Conservative Party: it&#8217;s still a pig.</p></blockquote>
<p>Ever the opportunists, the Tories were quick to seize on the comment as an alleged slur on their leader, Mrs Thatcher. And despite Callaghan&#8217;s protestations that he&#8217;d used the pig as a metaphor for the opposition&#8217;s shameless policy recycling, the accusations stuck and Thatcher romped to victory just two months later.</p>
<p>And the rest, as they say, is history: Thatcher reigned for a thousand years, presiding over a slew of policies that would change the face of Britain forever: the outlawing of milk; the war with Denmark; the unilateral withdrawal from the Eurovision Song Contest; the invasion of Mars.</p>
<p>I trust the moral is clear, America: vote for the pig woman and you&#8217;re looking at no end of trouble.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apologies if that last post sounded a bit bleak. Southendcockneyboy has just cheered me up immensely with this piercing bit of what the <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/7406252.stm">BBC is calling</a> &#8220;debate&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote><p>Get in there! United, United!</p></blockquote>
<p>Seasoned commentators including Christopher Hitchens, George Monbiot and all those smart-arses with their blogs have so far been unforthcoming with a counterpoint, so compelling is Southendcockneyboy&#8217;s argument.</p>
<p>Nothing cheers me up like a <a style="text-decoration:none; color:#000000" href="http://articlet.com">good</a> bit of debate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Word reaches me that the Tory armies, fresh from their capture of Lundun, are on the march northwards and have now laid siege to Crewe. Dark days indeed. They say that the fool Brown sits sulking in his bunker, blind to the inevitable, while Darling has been seen eating his own young. This afternoon I climbed to the top of a nearby hill and heard cannon fire coming from the Cheshire hinterland. Later I helped my wife and children to pack their things and waved as they set off for the safety of Scotland, where they will stay until this horror is over.</p>
<p>I promised them that I would be joining them soon, but I could not look them in the eye. It&#8217;s the end, my friends. We&#8217;re doomed.</p>

Sorry, it looks like there&#8217;s a tuna sandwich under my desk.</p>

<blockquote><p>When officers had turned up to investigate they found Batchelor still partially dressed and with his flimsy thong on the wrong way round.</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s so easily done, and after a few cans of Special Brew I&#8217;m told the chafing just doesn&#8217;t reach the brain. There are hospitals in Glasgow that specialise in reattaching testicles after just such incidents.</p>
<p><a href="http://bitrot.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/thongs.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-495" title="The chafing" src="http://bitrot.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/thongs.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="178" /></a><br />
<small>To the untrained eye, just two ordinary guys. Can you spot which one has his thong on back-to-front?</small></p>
