'The prosecution is relying on the "common purpose" doctrine, once used by the former white minority regime against black activists fighting for democracy.'

Disturbing.

To lose one's way once on the Cumbrian Fells smacks of misfortune.

To lose one's way twice smacks of carelessness -

Dunno if this belongs here, but isn't this just utterly fantastic on so many levels?

Just when you thought the Tories couldn't get any worse.

Jeremy Hunt is Health Secretary. Quite aside from the fact that after the Sky scandal he shouldn't even be in a job......

http://bengoldacre.posterous.com/jeremy-hunt-new-health-secretary-called-for-t

Words fail me but it gets better / worse......

Maria Miller Culture Secretary and also Minister for WOMEN AND EQUALITY?

https://twitter.com/SteMcCormick/status/242966701010984960/photo/1/large

Oh and they've got rid of one of the only "good un's" Ken Clarke.

Must admit I've not had time to read that much about these or the other changes but I don't think I need to. This looks like a huge lurch even further Right by Cameron and even more proof (not needed) that he hasn't got a clue what he's doing. Jeremy Hunt? I can't believe it's not some elaborate joke.....

He was head boy at Charterhouse and his middle name is Streynsham. Sounds like a bloody solid sort of chap to me.

Proof, positive, if any more were needed that he is an utter, complete, and total fucking cunt.

Everyone's got to have a hobby.

Ships in bottles, bouldering, angling, constructing pipe-bombs…

Smith told police it was a "hobby" when they found two pipe bombs in a workshop at his home earlier this year.

I had a hobby making pipe bombs when I was about fifteen, got very good at making electric detonaters out of match-heads and fuse wire, but never figured a way of sealing the final pipe end so it wouldn't blow out. Anyone got any tips?

This year's Darwin Award?

http://www.todayonline.com/World/EDC120905-0000147/Man-dies-after-playground-stunt-by-Internet-video-group


Quote
The 20-year-old male died from head injuries after being thrown six yards by the spinning carousel in a playground in the Bavarian town of Oberviehbach.

Part of a group known for posting footage of dangerous stunts on the Internet, the man, known only as Tobias, had been strapped by tape to the carousel, and then friends wrapped a rope tied to the car around it.

They then climbed into the BMW and accelerated away, spinning the merry-go-round but the centrifugal force got the better of the man's moorings and sent him flying, reported The Daily Telegraph.

Yup, good old nature eh!

Yeah in the comments it says it chars at 300 degrees centigrade and (always being a cynical cunt and knowing nothing about science) I presumed there would be other problems. Still, shows how technological advances can completely alter the possible uses of previously useless materials. Think we'll see a lot more of this type of thing.

Nick Clegg turns into Glenn Hoddle:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-19555757

Quote
Extracts released early by officials said: "Continued trouble in the economy gives the bigots a stick to beat us with, as they demand we 'postpone' the equalities agenda in order to deal with 'the things people really care about'."

Within an hour aides had corrected the text, which said: "Continued trouble in the economy leads some people to demand we 'postpone' the equalities agenda in order to deal with 'the things people really care about'."

Sources close to Mr Clegg said he chose to withdraw the accusation because he feared using the word "bigot" would dominate the debate on gay marriage.

And what word would you use to describe someone who believes they've the right to cheat people out of the right to get married?

"Cunt", perhaps?
