Gaddafi, Healthcare Reforms & Caravans
While your humble correspondent has been nanging around in the fields with one of his rifles there seems to have been much general phuquewittery going out in what I sarcastically refer to as the real world. I tend to regard weekends as little havens of peace & alcoholic tranquillity especially as the rest of my all out confrontational family are still in France probably scrapping with striking lorry drivers & generally driving on the left hand side of the road which as all stout bulldogs know, is as the good Lord intended when he invented the motor carriage
Whilst the thick end of 3 tonnes of Land Rover going head to head with Pierre in his funny little Peugeot would produce the sort of result that could get uber-twat & presenter of Cops With Speed Cameras Canine Unit 999 Paramedic Rescue Motorway Madness Massacre , Nick Ross tutting, the sort of confusion in the aforementioned Pierre’s mind, right before the engine block goes through it is nothing in comparison to how confused I am over the rehabilitation of Colonel Gaddafi by what is laughably known as the international community. So he had a couple of lil indiscretions... like raining an airliner onto the ginger haired ones. It the sort of small mistake that any genocidal manic could make & oh so easily overlooked when there are oil rights at stake
Its seems only a couple of cases of decent scotch ago that our cousins on the left hand side of the pond were lobbing bombs through the roof of his tent – doing irreparable damage to his kebab machine & incurring the wrath, in perpetuity, of the Camping & Caravanning community
Now the latter is a bunch of individuals to strike the fear of errrrrrr something into your whatsits. Their paramilitary wing not only utterly ruthless but they even have the common decency not to claim fist loads of state benefits unlike our own home grown Jihadists. It’s worth remembering that Abu Handsfree should really be known as Abu Handout given the amount that he has trousered from the very people that he is sworn to overthrow. But why blow up just one tube train & a bus when you can bring the entire road network to a standstill for the whole summer simply by pulling a few caravans at 25 mph?
Mind you, scoring even higher on the mirth-o-meter than the good Colonel, is the handbagging over healthcare reforms in the US. This I have to say has provided me with nearly as much amusement as the last lot of pikies that tried to camp out in the top paddock & got onto the receiving end of the jerrycan of unleaded/Englands Glory combo
The American political right has been busy slagging off the NHS (& not without good reason in my book) & suddenly the Blitz spirit is being wheeled out & cries of foul are emanating from all sides of the House. I could be missing something here – it wouldn’t be the first time – but is this the same NHS that has nurses that are too posh to wash, doctors that can’t speak the Queen’s English & Ebola like post-operative infection rates?
One Tory MEP is now being vilified because he has gone on the record & very publicly articulated the failings of the NHS: when did the bastard child of post WW2 socialists suddenly become a religion? At the moment you get off more lightly for wiping your arse on a copy of (inset the holy book of your choice here) than pointing out the NHS isn’t a public health service: it’s a rather inefficient taxpayer funded employment scheme that has failed only marginally less catastrophically than the UK’s public education system

Now THAT's a rant: Gaddafi, terrorists, caravanners and the NHS, all covered with spleen and invective.
Lovely.

There has been a firefight (or was it a bitchfest?) on http://www.barking-moonbat.com/ on the glories of the NHS, there is good stuff there as well (maybe not as good as KdT was but thesedays you have to take what you can.

Don't forget the murder of Yvonne Fletcher!
I was a Private in Airborne School when Reagan bombed Libya. We were mustered for guard duty.
It's too bad we missed a target and nearly hit the French embassy. The pilot was really, really tired after having to fly all the way around France.

Gadaffi, jihadists, the NHS, caravanners; all recieve a righteous blast from the good Mr FM, but nowhere do I see a mention of our fenian chums. So WTF is Mr O'Neill's point?
With examples like this, one really does begin to wonder whether all those nasty jokes about the Irish and their ... erm ... IQ deficiency ... might not have some foundation in truth.
Unless he's a pikey, of course.

So, Mr. O'Neill,
I suppose you support the IRA. Is it the:
Provisional IRA
Real IRA
The IRA
The Splinter IRA
The Communist IRA
The Arab-Affiliated IRA
The Marxist IRA
Or the...
Decaffinated IRA
The Terrorist IRA
The Mob IRA
The Criminal Affialiated IRA
(Those kneecappings had nothing to do with the money you owe us!)
Or the IRA that finally realized that sending street thugs and farmboys against Paras and the SAS was not a good way to spend the day?
The IRA killed more than a few innocents in attacks. If not for the terror tactics against it's own "supporters", I doubt the fighting would have gone on as long as it did.
