(satire – probably)
The justice secretary, Chris Grayling, has defended parents’ right to smack the Education Secretary Michael Gove claiming it “sends a message” and admits he would do it for his own children, it has emerged.
The Tory minister said he was not opposed to smacking government ministers if it was on an “occasional” basis and used when “really warranted”:
I’m not opposed to parents giving really annoying ministers like Michael Gove a quick smack occasionally when it’s really warranted. Sometimes it sends a message to ministers – but I don’t hanker for the days when MPs were sometimes hung, draw and quartered by their constituents.
The comments come after Labour MP David Lammy claimed that Labour’s 2004 decision to forbid the smacking of bankers had resulted in a breakdown of discipline amongst senior financial executives and had led directly to the 2008 economic crisis.

I’m sure Michael Gove will be smacking his lips at the very thought of it!

Daily Express runs out of benefit scroungers to blame so trawls internet and pinches stories from blogs.
An express spokesman said today “we can’t be arsed to go out in this weather doing proper journalism its much easier to nick stuff from the web and rewrite and claim the credit even though its possible thousands of people already know the story by now ‘

Jimmy Saville blamed for council tax rise.
A govt spokesman said today that council tax increases had nothing to do with govt austerity measures at all and it was all the fault of that nonce and friend of ex prime minister Margaret ” where there is hope we will bring despair” thatcher.
We asked a typical man in the street what he thought on the matter.” Damn waste of tax payers money on all this paedophile nonsense..its obviously a communist plot cooked up by the last labour govt ” said Lord Kidd-Buggerer.
“Fortunately I don’t have to pay taxes as my accountants Delloite see to that ” he went on to say before he went to his local badger gassing party.

Does the DWP have two heads ?
I wonder because they contradict themselves quite a lot.
When Atos put in their bid for PIP assessments they claimed they had support from organizations like DPAC which turned out to be a lie. When challenged DWP said these orgianisations had no bearing or influence over decision making .
Er wait a minute because on DWP site it cites quite a number of disability rights organisations involved in consultation exercise on the PIP assessments. So who should we believe ? The DWP or the DWP ?

I see Paul Gascoigne has been in the news claiming no matter what he does he really can’t give up the drink.
I have an idea Paul why don’t you go to a pub on your own and where no one knows you and pay for your pint instead of everyone else. See how that goes.

I do wish people would stop reminding me about that, I’m trying to delete it from my mind.
It provokes a hideous, hideous mental image.

You write stuff and submit it and it disappears. Then write it again and submit that and the former one goes and posts making you look like a twat with short term memory loss. Technology eh? You can’t beat it unless you use a club hammer..

On the DWP website about the universal job match website it has a section called ‘case studies’ where we find a Ms Emma Wilson recruitment manager for premier inn camberley who gushes on about the UJM and how brilliant it all is.in fact she says “its fantastic”
Which is strange as I went to premier inn camberley website and clicked on ‘careers’ which took me to another site called whitbread co UK , another hospitality site who has as one of its top clients premier inn.
Now either ms Wilson has changed jobs or she doesn’t exist and if she does exist and has changed jobs did she use the UJM . I’ve heard its pretty good in fact “its fantastic’ .

Apologies for O/T Tom but I felt I had to say this. It is my understanding that the hacking group anonymous was responsible for taking down a few paedophile sites a while ago. For me that is positive step even if I know it wont eradicate this vile business for that is what it is.
However I am alarmed to see in todays guardian an advertisement by symantec in connection with guardian warning users against computer viruses using not only a character wearing the v for vendetta face mask but clearly behind that character you can see the familiar anonymous logo.
The message implies that anonymous are the bad guys intent on causing damage to your pc and symantec will help you guard against them
