Bad winter expected for London A&E departments

The BBC reports that Londoners are likely to be facing long waits for treatment in A&E departments this winter.

Funnily enough, it doesn't mention something I seem to notice whenever I happen to enter a London hospital.

They're absolutely heaving with people who don't seem to be speaking English. Perhaps that could be adding a burden to an over-stretched system?

Epping Forest fire in shape of an elephant

The Sun ran this photo of a policeman ushering people away from a fire in Epping Forest.

The flames look like an elephant (or a mammoth).

Maybe it is a mystic mammoth returned to its old hunting grounds and unhappy to find they've turned into east London.

Is this the secret of the Yeti?

Ted Terry charged with assault

Ted Terry, father of John Terry the Chelsea footballer, has been charged with racially aggravated assault.

It's not the first time Ted’s had a spot of bother with the Old Bill. In 2010 he was charged with drug dealing. He mum and mother in law were also cautioned recently for shoplifting from M&S.

Biggest crime of all, though, is that Terry was ever England captain. Surely that was meant to be a job for a tactician, a leader and, er, a gentleman?

Not any more, I'm afraid.

Terry is - in my humble opinion – one of the most uncouth louts in football. And a donkey, to boot.

Chicks with guns

I always thought that title would work as a magazine. Certainly in Texas.

Dog eats dog in Warrington

Elvis in the days when he had a head

I am shocked but not surprised to see the widespread reports related to a Pomeranian (the dog) having its head bitten off by a bull terrier.

The sordid event happened in Warrington (where else, I'm tempted to add) and the press has run images of a chubby chavette hauling away the bloodthirsty terrier as the pair drip with freshly spilt Pomeranian blood.

The victim was called Elvis and was playing happily in his garden when the bulldog ran through the gate and decapitated him with one bite. It then spat out the bloodied remains in the gutter muttering: ‘That’s for the Blitz, you Fritz b**tard.’

Elvis’ owner, Gemma Antell, from (where else?) Warrington, said: ‘If it was capable of doing that to another dog, then you would have to be afraid of what it could potentially do to a child's arm, or worse.

‘People were screaming at her [the fat chavette] but apparently she just said: “It's not his fault – he's only a baby’.”

Abu Klea. A bad business

General Stewart’s force was about fifteen hundred all told,
A brave little band, but, like lions bold,
They fought under their brave and heroic commander,
As gallant and as skilful as the great Alexander.

And the nation has every reason to be proud,
And in praise of his little band we cannot speak too loud,
Because that gallant fifteen hundred soon put to flight
Ten thousand Arabs, which was a most beautiful sight.

Winston Churchill on the 'curses' of Islam

'How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity.

'The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.

Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.'

Sir Winston Churchill; (Source: The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 London).

Holly Willoughby and her impressive breasts

Am feeling a bit shaken up.

Just returning home on the bus, minding my own business, when I overheard two youngish men talking.

Man 1: 'That Holly Willoughby. She'd be a good tit f*ck.'

Man 2: 'Too right. Massive pair of hangers on her.'

It wasn't even very late. Shocking effort.

Then I thought. 'Who the hell is Holly Willoughby?'

Operation Bullfinch and the Oxford sex ring

The trial in the Oxford paedophillia case (aka Operation Bullfinch) began today.

I have to confess I had only vaguely followed it until now. Clearly some aspects of the media (that means you, The Daily Mail) are whipping themselves into a frenzy about it.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2262723/Gang-men-groomed-young-girls-sex-drove-terrified-victim-14-woods-night-threatened-cut-head-off.html

I find it rather off-putting – siding with the Mail, but on this occasion I can feel it happening. And that is despite the fact that the paper features a video with a BNP protest.

Nine defendants – all God-fearing Muslims who’d want to chop off hands and heads if they thought you'd looked at their sister in a lecherous manner – brutally abusing young girls in Oxford.

As has been shown in recent years, this is by no means an isolated episode and is evidence of the howling double standards of Islam.

The accused are listed as Kamar Jamil, 27, Akthtar Dogar, 32, Anjum Dogar, 30, Assad Hussain, 32, Mohammed Karrar, 38, Bassam Karrar, 26, Mohammed Hussain, 24, Zeeshan Ahmed, 27, and Bilal Ahmed, 26.

But who are they and where do they come from? Are they all British born or are there some asylum seekers in there? No doubt all will be revealed.

Either way, this is another disgraceful episode and one that again shows how the pussy-footing politicians seem to be missing the point.

If this was the other way round – and it was Muslim girls being abused – the offenders would not have had chance to come to court.

They would have no doubt been dragged around the back-streets of Oxford, Bradford, Oldham or wherever tied to the back bumper of a car with their genitals stuffed in their mouths.

Islam is nothing if not medieval (OK, put the car to one side for now and imagine it's a horse or a cow or something) and its adherents like nothing more than a good old bit of genitals-in-your-mouth vengeance.
