That's why they're history.

A bit like McKenzie's marriage.

Did you try that dating site yet Stalin? There's a nice girl with dungaree's and a degree in armpit hair for you. :D

UK Motorists to Face Execution Under New Scheme


Tough on traffic and tough on the causes of traffic The government today unveiled its latest initiative in bid to cut the congestion on Britain's roads. Former British Airways chairman, Sir Rod Eddington was comissioned to carry out a study into the problems of congestion, and research results which cost the taxpayer £8bn were made public today.

"The study has concluded that the roads of Britain are very congested" declared Eddington. His staggering conclusion was backed up by the semi PM Gordon Brown who outlined the governments new road scheme which will come into effect in January.

Under the scheme, all roads in Britain are to become red routes with stopping and parking made illegal, and motorists are to be charged £8.50 per mile. Traffic offences currently covered under the road traffic act are to become criminal offences and anyone found parking or stopping on a public road will face a £1000 on the spot fine and will be placed permanently on the sex offenders register.

If a driver commits a second offence they will face an execution squad and will have their vehicle confiscated and crushed and if they are a home owner their property will be re-possessed.

The new regulations are to be enforced by highly trained enforcement officers. The department of transport is currently in Ghana and Nigeria on a recruitment drive to fill the 80,000 newly created positions. After extensive firearms and riot training, the new recruits will be given a 2 day course in English before taking up their posts.

Brown hailed the scheme as a "revolution in traffic management" and added, "the only way to really tackle this problem is to deal with the root cause, i.e cars and motorists, we will be tough on traffic and tough on the causes of traffic."

Upon hearing details of the scheme Mayor of London Ken Livingstone commented "this is the happiest day of my life"

Government vehicles will be exempt from the new regulations.

London Mayor Caught With Pants Down


Sources close to London mayor Ken Livingstone have admitted today that his position is fast becoming untenable after he was photographed with his underpants around his ankles in a public convenience near City Hall.

A sting involving weeks of surveillance was started after a member of the public spotted the mayor 'popping in' to the loo last month and reported the sighting to the London Evening Travesty newspaper.

The convenience, which is near to the GLA building in Bermondsey, is thought to be frequented by members of the general public.

Using technology similar to that seen in nature show, 'I'm Wild, Me!' a camera was secreted within the cubicle favoured by Mr. Livingstone.

The mayor, who refused to say whether he was doing a number one or number two at the time, didn't deny that he had in fact dropped his Y-fronts on each occasion.

Claims by his office that he was simply 'caught short' after a long meeting were rubbished by Travesty editor Paul Underhand: "Livingstone was going into exactly the same toilet this week that he was seen coming out of only a month ago. It does not take a rocket scientist to work out what he was up to."

The mayor condemned the sting as a 'gross invasion of privacy' but has no plans to sue. However, he says he refuses to see why his personal toileting habits should have a bearing on the outcome of the election.

"I think it is typical of the Travesty that they should stoop to such low tactics," he said, adjusting his trousers. But Paul Underhand insisted, "London voters want to know what their mayor looks like in his most private moments; it is a matter of public interest. If he is so easily embarrassed maybe he shouldn't be running for a third term."

Livingstone became the most hated man in Britain after he single-handedly invented political correctness during the 1980s. Recently, his controversial Congestion Charge and the introduction of bendy buses to London's streets have led to him being labelled as 'a right Charlie' in some quarters. It is also believed that Livingstone has 'the odd drink', which he so far has refused to deny.

Conservative mayoral candidate Boris Johnson, who has promised to make boxer shorts free to all men over the age of thirty, was unavailable for comment.

I can't be arsed downloading it, but would he have refered to the opposition candidates being 'racists' or 'ponces' or perhaps even made reference to the Royal Family at some stage?

Surely not?

London's Mayor has five children

The vote in the mayoral elections takes place on 1 May


Livingstone interview
Mayor of London Ken Livingstone has dismissed claims that revelations that he has five children by three different women will affect his mayoral campaign.

Talking to BBC London, he insisted voters had never taken an interest in his private life.

As well as two young children by his partner Emma Beale, he has two older daughters by one woman and a boy with another.
But Mr Livingstone conceded the issue would be used to attack him.

The revelation comes a month before he faces the capital's voters in seeking re-election.

Responding to a question that some people might be shocked by the revelation, he said: "Clearly, I don't think anybody in this city is shocked about what consenting adults do.

No one has ever found anything in my private life that was illegal or immoral

Ken Livingstone

"As long as you don't involve children, animals or vegetables they leave people to get on and live their own life in their own way."

He added: "If I had secrets that my family or my close friends didn't know about then that would be a different matter.

"But there's a difference between private and secret and I think the media's got to understand that."

Mr Livingstone said journalists had been "looking into my private life for 40 years".

"We've had occasions where they have broken into my bank account which is a criminal offence.

"No one has ever found anything in my private life that was illegal or immoral."

He said that as a councillor, MP and mayor he had "canvassed tens of thousands of people".

"On occasion people ask how the kids are and on a one-to-one I'm happy to talk about that but with the media I'm not.

"My private life isn't my sole property. It's been shared with other people and they expect it to stay private and it's going to stay private."





I'm amazed he had it in him to Father any children. :shock:

You can just imagine it can't you? (or perhaps you would rather not) Him lying there with his hairy armpitted bird, with John Lennon glasses on telling each other that Stalin meant it to be this way . . .

Then Terry walks in to join the act with his Elvis jacket on . . . . :D

Aaaaargh!

It's there for all to see, but does include a bit of racist and Tory scum.

Now Mr TF could be right, but just imagine how difficult it would be for a Provincial section of a trade union going into some of the 390 odd council, which just happen to be ruled by the so-called Tory scum. ](*,)

Still I would have imagined that would have been taken into account. :-s
