What’s wrong with this picture?

Opening my paper, I see:

Peter Drummond, who grabbed a heroin dealer’s stash and flushed it down the toilet because he was “ruining my family” was jailed for two months by some legal twat instead of getting a medal.

He was told, “You should have contacted the police”.

Why bother? They would have sent the guy for counselling when what he really needs is the shit kicking out of him.

Meanwhile, on another page I see the Golden Bliar got an award worth £700,000 for “leadership” – as in leading Britain into Iraq/Afghanistan/down the drain – whatever.

And now Mr. David Mills, conveniently estranged husband of Tessa Jowls our “Olympics Minister” is found guilty in Milan of accepting a bribe of some £400,000 from the Bliar’s friend Silvio Berlusconi and sentenced to four-and-a-half years in jail. Of course, Tessa had no idea where all that money was coming from. As if.

By the way, why an Olympics Minister? Haven’t we pissed away enough money without her help already? And since she seems to have such surprisingly little interest in money anyhow, couldn’t she be given a job more suited to her ability – say, Minister for Toilets?

  1. You’re getting curmudgeonly, Drayton.

    (“Getting”?)

    The heroin dealer story doesn’t ring entirely true, though. Hard to imagine his call to the police: “Yes, I’d like to report some, er, property of mine has been, er, flushed down the loo…”

  2. It may not ring true, but it is. How could I make something like that up? Only in madhouse Britain … Scotland to be exact.

  3. So the socialist slobette in charge of the Olympics, Tessa Porker Jowell, claims that she knows nothing about arranging mortgages and left all this complicated financial jiggery-pokery to a man, her husband the bent brief, Mr Mills. Brilliant appointment by the government to put a fiscal idiot in charge of the Olympic’s finances.

    Italian prosecutors said that Mr Mills used the money to help pay off a joint mortgage he held with his wife, the British Olympics Minister Tessa Jowell.

    If this is true, then it could be that the transaction might constitute an offence of money laundering under Section 327 to 329 0f the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.

    This covers, for example, ANY PERSPON who:-

    (a)conceals criminal property
    (b)disguises criminal property
    (c)converts criminal property
    (d)transfers criminal property

    Ooops.

    The only satisfying conclusion to this further example of corruption within this government is that the gypsy camp next to the lavish house purchased with their ill-gotten gains, has just been given planning permission.

  4. What!!!?

    I can’t believe these morons are sending troops half way around the world, getting them killed, to fix those countries and all the while this country is going down the toilet.

    I agree with you, Peter Drummond should be given a medal for what he did. I would do the same.

    Oh Drayton, you’ve surpassed yourself this week. You should run for office mate, seriously, you’d get in by a landslide.
