Idiotic Osborne has invited the Chinese Communists to build and own a nuclear power station in England (L.A.M.F.)
Why is this? If the conservative economic policy of 'free-market' capitalism is genuinely reinvigorating Britain, then why are the Bullingdon boys grovelling to the Chinese Communists for some cash? Why are they jeopardizing our National Security, our health, our wealth and autonomy?
A decent government would place an embargo on all trade with China until they get out of Tibet and introduce basic Human Rights to their citizens.
Giving the Chinese authorities a free hand to control nuclear power in Britain is surrendering our own sovereignty and courting disaster. This is a treacherous betrayal of our safety and integrity.
STAND BY YOUR MAN... Latest developments in the 'Did David Camoron Have Oral-Sex With Severed Pig's Head'-story. After the nation was 'amused' to hear of the extraordinary allegations of prime ministerial pig-sex, I contacted my local tory-reactionary member of parliament, Derek Thomas, to test his position on the matter: (I've just had a thought - what if it was a boar? That would make it gay-dead-mutilated-pig-oral-sex! Surely no worse than straight-dead-mutilated-pig-oral-sex, don't get me wrong!) but it does add a spicy twist to an otherwise mundane and unexciting story...

Dear Jeremy
I have no interest in what Mr Cameron did or did not do as a young person.
I am only concerned about matters that affect people's lives today and how I can help to improve matters for people both here in the Southwest and further afield.
Kind regards
Derek Thomas
Member of Parliament for St Ives

Re: mp's responsibility to represent the People
Dear Derek,
As you know, you have not yet responded to several letters and emails from me concerning such topics as Human Rights, Fox-hunting, the legal basis for Cameron's killing of a British Citizen, legality of military intervention in foreign states, etc..
If I do not receive answers to these queries soon, I will be forced to conclude that you are willfully neglecting the duties for which we pay you. This would leave me in a disenfranchised state and would constitute a failure of democracy. Not a good reflection on party or member. And talking of members...
Re: David Cameron's Conduct
Whilst failing to respond over human rights or foxes rights, you are quick to respond when the prime minister gets accused of dead-pig-sex. Curiouser. Your response is fascinating. You say you have 'no interest' - really? Personally I'd be quite interested to know if my boss had had sex with a dead pig, perhaps I'm just over-inquisitive.
So your position basically is: 'I don't care if Britain's Leader once had sex with a dead-pig's head', and you see yourself as a moral guide to young people?
Boss of Konsel Kernow questioned over legality of Treloyhan Wildlife Corridor planning permission - Latest - The application to build luxury-housing on a designated wildlife corridor was based on false information - the planning officer Roger Harding, who approved the application, would not affirm its legality and neither would the council's lawyer! With the High Court Hearing getting close, the corrupt officials are hunkering down in their bunkers, waiting and hoping for the lens of public scrutiny to go away... Due to the disappointing reaction of councilor Harding and council-lawyer Ben Curnow, The Limpet decided to take it to the top and ask the big boss to give the public a guarantee that proper procedure had been followed. No such assurance has been received.

Dear Mr Pollard,
Re: Responsibility to the People of Kernow
I wrote to you in early June concerning the questionable legality of the Treloyhan Wildlife Corridor planning application. I had no response whatsoever from you.
To repeat my query: I wanted to know whether you, as boss of Cornwall Council, would affirm to the people of Cornwall that the planning process for Treloyhan woods has been conducted in accordance with law. Since Roger Harding, Chairman of Planning, will not take such an oath, and neither will Ben Curnow, 'our' Council's legal representative; presumably the responsibility devolves upon yourself as leader.
Do you think the council leader should be able to affirm that his council has acted lawfully? I do.
If you will not swear that the law has been upheld, will you:
(A) start an immediate investigation into corruption in Cornwall Council? or
(B) Resign?
Cornwall looks forward to your response.
With best wishes, Jeremy Schanche

Dear Mr Schanche
Thank you for your email dated 4 September regarding the Treloyhan Wildlife Corridor planning application.
Cllr Pollard is looking into the issues you have raised and will respond fully in due course. In the meantime, if you have any further enquiries please do not hesitate to contact this office.
ARE TORIES FUCKING A DEAD PIG?
Well, they say that 'a week is a long time in politics' and the last nine days will be remembered for two utterly extraordinary events. On Saturday 12th September the Labour Party elected Jeremy Corbyn, a Socialist, as Leader of the Labour Party, with a bigger majority than even blair got. Unbelievable! The entrenched British right is out to get Corbyn and he has been criticized for not singing God Save The Queen (he is a Republican - so why would he?)
Funnily enough, with all the media-frenzy trying to make Jeremy Corbyn look like the Anti-christ, the second thunderbolt has exploded in the blue sky of British Politics - on 21st September the story emerged that the Prime Minister, David Camoron, has been caught fucking a dead pig. Well, not exactly, but near enough for concern.... The allegations were made by 'lord' Ashcroft, a multi-millionaire who had poured millions of pounds into the right-wing Conservative Party of Britain. It seems Ashcroft had been hoping for a top government job and had been let down by his product. Enraged that his protege had reneged on him, the 'lord' published his porky tale of bestial perversion, drunkeness, cocaine, ganja, Supertramp (ughh!) and vile depraved 'dinners', at one of which he alleges that Camoron inserted his 'genitals' into the mouth of a dead pig during a 'ritual'. (sic)
And people think Corbyn's got an image-problem!
Welcome to the wacky world of British politics.
I thought I'd contact my representative in the British democracy, Derek Thomas, to see how - and if - he responds to the curious allegations. I sent the following email:

Re: David Cameron's Conduct
Dear Derek,
In view of Lord Ashcroft's allegations about the Prime Minister, I am anxious to know whether you would still consider David Cameron fit to lead the government if it turns out to be true that he performed a lewd act with a dead pig's head?
Best wishes, Jeremy Schanche
It seems the leaders of the Lib Dem and Labour parties are both vegetarians...
CAMORONISM - A period characterized by constant attacks on Worker's Rights and the National Health Service; the vulnerable and the poor. This man has nothing to offer but a cynical ideology of greed, violence and inequality - no future can be found in the way of Camoronism.

Shutting out the light like a cloud of darkness - settling in like a chill fog, a miasma of mal - a gathering of rooks, magpies, birds of prey and carrion - it's Britain's new rightist government, spreading blight, decay and dearth.....
The curious unwillingness of Konsel Kernow (also known as Cornwall Council) to affirm the legality of its own activities is truly bizarre. You might have thought that a publicly-funded body with a turn-over of millions and a large staff of lawyers, handling a multi-million-pound planning application to plant ostentatious and luxurious housing in a protected wildlife corridor, would be able to put its hand up – perhaps somewhere near its heart – and proudly state that their activities were at least legal!
But this is Cornwall, and apparently Cornwall Council doesn’t feel the need to act within the law; or that’s the strong impression that they have created with their evasive and unresponsive approach to the people of Cornwall.
Is Kernow’s green and pleasant land merely a ‘developer’s paradise’, to be treenuded, tamed, comodified, parceled up and sold off to the highest bidder? Is the character and beauty of our land an object to be priced and turned into a profit-margin? No, emphatically not; which is why we have things like Local Plans, the Aarhus Convention, and volumes of environmental protection regulations – without them we would soon be living in a concrete jungle. The people whom we entrust to conduct our planning, our environmental business for us carry a grave responsibility, though one that is not always recognized – they decide what kind of land our children will inherit, how green it will be, how pleasant.
The Treloyhan case deserves much deeper scrutiny. Wheal Margery was a large, deep and ancient mine on the cliffs of Carbis Bay. When it closed in the 19th century, some shafts were capped and spoil-heaps shaped into what would become a beautiful formal garden and area of woodland, surrounding a mansion. In the 20th century, the house was acquired by a Christian-capitalist cartel who used it for a holiday-business investment. The ‘Christian Guild’ decided in the early years of the 21st century that they could only survive and continue making profits if they sold a large chunk of their woodlands to ‘property developers’ for around £4,500,000. Thereby providing themselves with one or two extra loaves and fishes. The plot was hatched and the ‘object’ put up for planning permission.
Enter Cornwall Council.
As plans were announced, there was a public outcry and a campaign group was formed and went into action. After a year and a half of letters flying back and forth, street demonstrations and much work and emotion, a date was set for the planning meeting.
Those who attended the meeting can testify to a catalogue of irregularities. The area was described cynically as ‘brown-field’ when its true designation is ‘green-field’. The environmental surveys were, in short, a pack of lies, with wildly inaccurate projections of the number of trees to be felled. There was no archaeological survey, despite a formal request from the campaign group. As someone who has already lost one house due to subsistence and as anyone from Cornwall can tell you – you do not build on the site of a major mine without meticulous surveying of the land. The council took the opposing view and granted permission without a survey. There are three issues here. As mining experts have pointed out, preparing the ground for these large dwellings and associated roads, would involve removing many tons of atal or mine spoilings. This waste material will contain pitchblend and radon – a nice radioactive cocktail for someone to deal with. Subsidence (the mine is 900 feet deep) will likely be problematic, as early mines like Wheal Margery were not always surveyed with the thoroughness of the modern age and there could be any number of unrecorded holes in the ground. From a cultural point of view, Wheal Margery is part of a World Heritage Site, and this supports the argument for its preservation.
From the point of view of nature, the proposed ‘development’ would be nothing short of disastrous.
Treloyhan woods were set aside as a ‘wildlife corridor’, whereby badgers and other wild animals can connect with the larger wild areas nearby. Take away this corridor and you are left with an isolated island of nature, surrounded by tarmac and concrete, engulfed by man’s vulgar kingdom of selfishness and ugliness. The council’s paid ‘environmental experts’ did not even bother to conduct a survey of the endangered species at the site! What are they paid for? The Local Policies and the St.Ives Neighbourhood Plan were treated with contempt and blatantly ignored. Rules that are not enforced do not really rule, do they? These regulations are agreed by the ‘democracy’ and officials are appointed and paid to uphold them, to protect our land from rapacious exploitation. Our planners were presented with a case that, in short, stunk. They passed it. Their approval was based on false information. They appeared to know that it was false. They will not even state to the best of their knowledge that it was legal! When challenged, not a single person at Cornwall Councill was willing to affirm the legality of procedure under oath to tell the truth.
Meanwhile a group of concerned citizens is working extremely hard – and, or course, unpaid – to desperately try to raise £30,000, the cost of a Judicial Review, or an appeal to be heard in the High Court of the land. Sadly, it is looking unlikely that the money for Justice will be raised in time. Despite the high-sounding clauses of old Magna Carta, Justice IS for sale in Britain circa 2015 – the property development lobby can certainly afford some, but can the people?
So I ask you again, Roger, John, Ben, are you willing to raise your right hands and say that your treatment of the planning application that will destroy some Cornish woodlands is all legal, proper and correct? Or are you going to hide away from the electorate and hope we just go away?
Feel free to take responsibility for this yourself, approach whichever ombudsmen, regulatory bodies, press outlets, media networks, and channels of communication you consider effective. Tell your friends about this and spread the news via your social media. It's up to you.
