Elmer Fudd.


It makes not a jot of difference to these Teflon coated elite, whether we are in bust or boom, protected as they are by the gold plated bubble of their own creation. But you can see now how they must be rejoicing at the emerging of the new witches, one in the shape of Bankster Fred Goodwin the greediest porker of them all. Oh how they needed this pariah to appear, and by God he will now be hounded to near death by these ruthless cynical elite, although it is hard to feel sorry for him.

WE SHALL REMEMBER THEM.




The number of UK troops killed on operations in Afghanistan since 2001 stands at 149 after three soldiers were killed by an enemy improvised explosive device in the Gereshk district of Helmand province on 25 February
