Comments Off on Just in – arrest Blair

Just been pointed at a shiny new website from Cyberium/George Monbiot (hat tip : Her Ladyship at Tora Towers).

http://www.arrestblair.org/

The stated aim of the site is:

“This site offers a reward to people attempting a peaceful citizen’s arrest of the former British prime minister, Tony Blair, for crimes against peace. Anyone attempting an arrest which meets the rules laid down here will be entitled to one quarter of the money collected at the time of his or her application.

Money donated to this site will be used for no other purpose than to pay bounties for attempts to arrest Tony Blair. All administration and other costs, apart from any charges added to your donations by Paypal, will be paid by the site’s founder.”

A site well worth giivng a high profile to – though if Wikileaks is anything to judge by PayPal will no doubt pull the plug fairly quickly.

Via Captain Ranty comes this rather excellent post by Corrugated Soundbite

“Now I’m glad Brits don’t riot

No, really.

We live in a nation with a State that assumes every adult to be a paedophile unless proven otherwise. They can take your kids away by simply deeming you “not bright enough”, whilst knowingly leaving children in the hands of parents who abuse them until they die.

No riot. “

Go read the whole thing, it rather echo’s and sums up a lot of stuff that’s been said by Leg Iron in the past, and they’ve got a damn good point.

Update: LegIron counsels patience even though there are even more reasons to be a tad miffed.

Authoritarian sheep killers

It’s quite odd what you can find when looking for something else, such as a site which sells sheepskin parchment and happens to mention:

“It is a legal requirement that all Acts of Parliament are still recorded on this material.“

Which seemed unlikely to me what with this being the twentfirst century and all, so I did a bit of searching, and what do you know it’s true:

“Today these parchment rolls, with the more modern Acts of Parliament printed on parchment too, are kept by the Parliamentary Archives in the Victoria Tower of the Palace of Westminster.“

Now at a new law a day everyday since they came into power that’s an awful lot of laws, and thus an awful lot of sheep, and that parchment isn’t cheap. Which makes me wonder several things:

  • Given the state they’ve reduced British sheep farming to where are they getting all those sheep skins from?
  • Has anyone told the greens and if so why aren’t they objecting, especially the vegans?
  • Does this explain the real reason for the various sheep culls that have occurred under New Labour?

I think I may have to find out how to make a suitable FOI request.
