  3. Morning all,

    If I may be so bold, can I point you to this article on Susan Philipsz, the Glaswegian 2010 Turner prize winner and the Glasgow art scene in general.

    Although I’ve always been uneasy about the ‘gentrification’ of Glasgow and the increasingly evident divide between the rich and poor in the city, it is great to see the city’s long, proud art scene celebrated.

  4. ...which, if this is being shared between up to 2,400 employees, works out (SLB) as €16,667, which, using current HMRC spotrate of 1.1757 is £14,176. if one chappy compained that he was due about €160,000, the average is about 10% of that, giving as a guideline broad bands of
    1.6m
    160k
    16k
    1.6k
    and if you break that down of, say 2500 employees on a sliding scale of
    1.6m x 10
    160k x 100
    16k x 300
    1.6k x 2000
    then you get to €40m overall.

    entirely guesswork, course, but prob more likely reflective of the general split.

    - response up from oxford on the demographic stats - make a lot of sense to my tiny mind, am waiting for btl stattos to get at it - reality probably not yet found, am guessing spectrum is something like:

    Bit despairing of the level of political analysis in this country. I was listening to radio 4 on my way to work. Nick Robinson was being interviewed about the fees vote today. He suggested that people rebel against their party because they enjoy the thrill of public approval, or because they enjoy provoking anxiety in their leadership. I guess the idea of 'principles' and 'values' has just completely gone in political discourse, then?

  8. Wakey - wakey, campers...it's another beautiful day in The Big Society and it's time to stop thinking of yourself and instead start asking: "Am I doing enough to help Britain's hard-working millionaires?"

    As the saintly Pietro Mandolinbum has pointed out, the rich have suffered enough. It's time we showed them some love and appreciation for the selfless way that they have been moving their money off-shore, relieving the over-burdened taxman of the stressful business of taxing it....

    And to get you up, rich person-friendly and low-wage amenable, one of my favourite bands of the last few years.

    Great sound from the London 3-piece who compromise a singer, a guitarist/bassist and a knob-twiddler/turntable botherer Belleruche - Minor Swing.

    Featuring a nice re-tooling of the old Django Reinhardt/Stephane Grapelli tune. A great nervous-system stimulant and a perfect substitute for food, warmth and shelter.

    I think the most nauseating bit of news I read this morning on the way into work was well-known chinny rug-wearing national treasure (and cunt) Bruce Forsyth (“look ma! my hair grew back in my 70s!”) letting on that that all-round cunt Mandelson had been pestering him to get on Strictly Come Dancing.

    Although I might suggest a new “format” to freshen things up a bit if Mandelson does get the nod for series 650 or whatever the fuck it is – Strictly Come Dancing (At the End of a Rope)…

    I guess the idea of 'principles' and 'values' has just completely gone in political discourse, then?

    Why would the media allow things like that to muddy the waters when they simply operate as the government du jour's rumour-mills, propaganda-machines and public relations operations?

    People in a democracy are there to perform two simple functions:

    To spend and to be taxed.

    If they fill their stupid little minds and their lazy working days pondering about principles, there could be anarchy.

  14. Just had this from Ireland


    **BAILING OUT THE IRISH - SIMPLE

    Times are tough, everybody is in debt and everybody lives on credit.

    On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through
    the town, stops at the local hotel and lays a €100 note on the
    desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms
    upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.

    The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has
    walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the €100 note and runs next
    door to pay his debt to the butcher.

    The butcher takes the €100 note and runs down the street to
    repay his debt to the pig farmer.

    The pig farmer takes the €100 note and heads off to pay his bill
    at the supplier of feed and fuel.

    The guy at the Farmers' Co-op takes the €100 note and runs to
    pay his drinks bill at the pub.

    The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute
    drinking at the bar, who has also been facing hard times and has
    had to offer him "services" on credit.

    The hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill
    to the hotel owner with the €100 note.

    The hotel proprietor then places the €100 note back on the
    counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything.

    At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the
    €100 note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets
    the money and leaves town. No one produced anything. No one
    earned anything. However, the whole town is now out of debt and
    looking to the future with a lot more optimism.

    And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the bailout package works

  15. "principles and values...discourse"

    Also, see BBCs insistance on primary importance of money in any major cultural / sporting sporting event.

    R5 seem ideologically obsessional about promoting the amount of money generated by the the location of World Cup, the Olympics etc, but gush on about it without question about where the profits end up. I note the BBC kept very quiet about how much of S Africa's infrastructure was provided by China (2 new stadia, roads, etc, without any clearly malign intent), but parped on very noisily about the billions of pounds the event generated - as if this was all trickling down to Tikki Bombili's family in his tragic shanty town.
    As fucking if.

    That pretty much sums it up, although the rich German tourist could, perhaps, have been a global slave-trafficker to make it closer to reality.

    1 Stories / pictures including quite ghastly, senseless and grotesque violence set to outrage encourage simplistic, aggressive responses

    2 Stories / pictures set to make men horny / women insecure

  25. Sorry to hear about the knee, Sheff...this might give your other knee a bit of a tapping-type workout, though...The Sonics - Have Love, Will Travel

    But in this season of goodwill, we need to look beyond the obvious. Far too much attention is focused on the homeless, the poor, the disabled and the sick.

    While these people, who may very well not be shirkers and layabouts...one doesn't really know...are doubtless to be pitied (up to a point) and aided (up to an even smaller point),it is fair to say that in a very real sense (©T. Blair), they are not net contributors to The Big Society.

    How unlike the very rich; whether employing impoverished foreign footballers, keeping tax-accountants busy or providing the luxury yacht-builders of Stockton-on-Tees with gainful employnment, the rich are reinvigorating can-do, buy-to-let, 57-varieties-of-iPod, minimum-wage Britain.

    So please, remember the rich in your prayers and ask God to keep them safe from lynch mobs, violent assaults, arson, poisoning, shooting, garroting, being run over with a steam-roller, drowning, defenestration, radiation poisoning...(That's enough kill-the-rich fantasies-Ed.)

  28. A report from the trenches of the Internet Wars:


    Carole Theriault, a senior security consultant at Sophos, a computer security firm, said: "If the big companies weren't locking down their information before, they're definitely doing it now.

    "This is really unprecedented and Amazon could be next." [...]

    The post read: "Hello World. We are Anonymous. What you do or do not know about us is irrelevant. We have decided to write to you, the media, and all citizens of the free world at large to inform you of the message, our intentions, potential targets, and our ongoing peaceful campaign for freedom.

Freedom of speech for: the internet, for journalism and journalists, and citizens of the world at large. Regardless of what you think or have to say; Anonymous is campaigning for you." [...]

  29. Just a quickie as I thought you might like a bit of good (anecdotal) news.

    Just interviewed a prospective volunteer. Young lad about 17/18, came in on his way to the Student Fee demo and was off to rendevouz with his friends from the School up the road (he has left but his mates are still there).

    He was not warmly dressed so I checked he had more clothes in his bag but he got kettled last time so me behaving like his mum was quite unnecessary.

    But anyway, it warmed the cockles of my cynical old heart, this kid coming in to offer to volunteer to help elderly people en-route to the demo.

    Kids! They might be a shower of hoodie wearing thugs obsessed with Strictly Come Dancing, but they are all right really.

    I have to interview some older people for the scheme at 3.00 so I couldn't go down with him. But I might go along afterwards. Anyone know what time the vote is scheduled?

    According to the groan the plods are predicting a riot (but they would, wouldn't they) Student protests

    Protesters will be allowed sight and sound of parliament. However, there is evidence to suggest a number of people will come to London intent on causing violence and disorder. They are jumping on the bandwagon of these demonstrations with no intention to protest or interest in student tuition fees. This is of concern to us.
    Those who come to London for peaceful protest will be policed proportionately and appropriately. But those who are intent on committing crime will also be dealt with and they will suffer the consequences of their actions.


    So take care, watch the plods and try not to get stuck in a kettle... but give 'em hell (in whatever way seems appropriate at the time).

    PS: Take a camera and post your snaps up in the gallery. Sorry am being bossy - but thats what cabin fever does to me...

  41. "Give them hell"

    Actually, I am bit old for hell-giving. But I do have a reasonably respectable middle-aged appearance and some credit and debit cards and I thought I might be of use if kids were getting crapped on by the police. So my plan is more to be around in case support is needed rather than running around breaking stuff.

    Just cleared it with my manager. She can be difficult sometimes but there are occasions when having an elderly Glaswegian socialist for a boss is the best.

    And now she is here to look after the "Thursday morning muggers" (Community Payback guys) now I am going to try and bring this interview forward.

    From the article:

    In this case, hundreds of volunteers have downloaded something called a botnet, which aids the distribution of the command to attack the site. The volunteers wait until they are given a signal on an internet chatroom, before launching the massed attack.

    The attacks are illegal in Britain and carry a maximum sentence of two years.


    It is probably better to work on the assumption that if you are:

    1. Not rich
    2. Not a member of the political class

    then both you and anything and everything you do is either actually or potentially illegal.

    As His Holiness the Blair liked people to think when His ministries were temporarily earthbound before He occupied the space between sainthood and godhead:

    If you are not in prison yet, it is only a matter of time, *you filthy fucking scumbag.

  77. I have often said that governments should sponsor the soporific dullness and mind-crunchingly, er, mindless antics of places like Dribbly and CiF in order to stifle and exhaust dissent and debate.

    I have also said that the various GovThug agencies of the state obviously foster and promote the idea that everyone is a terrorrist and that we will only survive their onslaught by relinquishing all our freedoms and embracing the technologies of fear and control.

    This time, though, they have gone too far:

    Corrie bosses fear Al Qaeda ahead of live episode

    Police in Manchester are stepping up security around this evening's live Coronation Street episode over fears the studio has been targeted by Al Qaeda.

    They were tipped off that the ITV1 soap's historic 50th anniversary broadcast from Manchester could be hit by a terror strike.

    Corrie stars will undergo full body searches, with cast and crew passing through airport-style detectors before being frisked in security checks at Manchester's Granada studios.

    The soap has already hired an army of private security staff over concerns trouble-makers were plotting to let of fireworks and rev motorcycle engines nearby.

    Now anti-terror police acting on intelligence are sending extra officers to guard the nation's favourite soap.


    Letting off fireworks and revving motorbicycle engines are already classed as terrorism anyway.

    Aren't they?

    This one was not him, but here he is --

    "Hoon also b*ggered off to watch the football when the Sergeants' Mess had a dinner in his (dubious) honour in Iraq. Wonder what went in his breakfast the next day..."

    Good article btw... I heard about that Hooon football bit elsewhere, people were very pissed off at him. ( Tho I'm not sure the story was not set in UK-- trouble wiv transmissions ...)

  82. AT, equally droll was Russell Crowe's claim a couple of years ago that he was a target of an Al-Q kidnap team:

    At the time, the Hollywood actor had never heard of al-Qaida or its reclusive leader. But Osama bin Laden, it seems, knew all about Russell Crowe.

    In one of the more unlikely terrorist plots, the Oscar winner has revealed that he was a kidnap target for the network, and that the FBI was so concerned about his safety that it gave him protection for four years.

    The FBI told him that terrorists had devised a "cultural destabilisation plan" that involved seizing high-profile actors.

    Dave, I enjoyed the film, too. I think Weir is a good director and most of the cast were fine, even Bettany as Maturin.

    But I wasn't really happy with Crowe as Aubrey. I guess that being so familiar wih the books, I had (and have) a very clear picture of Aubrey and I found Crowe a bit jarring.

    Still, the film looked great, even if they did fold two books into one film. Thinking about it, I wonder if Liam Neeson would have made a good Aubrey? His looks and build are closer to my image of Aubrey and he's a good actor.

    But I'm carping...I should be grateful that an O'Brian book made it onto film. I wish someone would attempt William Gibson's Neuromancer trilogy or Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash...

  129. Thauma, well it was fun in a confused, sporadically violent sort of way. The police seemed to be more confused than anyone. By the time I got there they were letting people out of Whitehall into Trafalger Square but weren't letting people in.

    So I walked down the back of Horseguards to Great George Street which is another way into Parliament Square. That was cut off by a very serious phalanx of riot police.

    It did not look like there was going to be any way in but then, for some reason they decided to let people through and into the square but not let them out (the opposite of the lot at the top of Whitehall).

    I realised that if I went in there was a fair chance of getting kettled for the rest of the evening but I thought, fuck it, and went through.

  134. Anyway, once inside the square things got a bit interesting. There was no way out. Quite a few fires burning. But I went towards Victoria Street and suddenly people started running back and I could see it was a mounted police baton charge. They made a couple of charges and then something amazing happened.

    Everyone started running back. Obviously someone at the front had taken the lead but I could not see that. But we (I am using the term "we" loosely as I was just running in a crowd of people some way from the front) drove them back.

    That is something new to me after nearly four decades of protesting one thing and another, driving a mounted police baton charge back.

    Things settled down a bit after that.

  139. That was good because it looked like we might be there for hours and he said he had a few bottles of Italian wine in the suitcase.

    While we were wondering where we could get a corkscrew from some young kids, about 16 or so, came up to ask something and, by sheer chance they recognised this guy. They knew him. So they started telling him about how they had been invovled in the fracas with the mounted police, much nearer the front than me. At the front in fact.

    They were absolutely loving it, faces shining with excitement, and then they ran off to have a go at the police bottling off the bottom of Whitehall.

    As they ran off this guy turned to me with a rueful smile, shook his head and said.

    "I know those boys from my church!"

  143. Anyway, a bit later one of the lads came back and told us that the police were letting some people out into Whitehall.

    So I went with the guy with the suitcase as he was so obviously a bystander caught up in it. Got stuck in a crush which was by far the most frightening moment, but then got let though into Whitehall, only to find another line of police really tightly kettling a group of protesters.

  148. Anyway, it turned out that there was a way out of the apparant kettle in Whitehall. Not for the people surrounded but that mini-kettle only seemed to take up the whole width of the street by the cenotaph. There was actually a tiny way through which one policeman was trying to get others to let us through as more people were filtering out of the big kettle in Parliament Square and, sensibly enough, he did not want our numbers to build up.

    So I got in and out. But only out because I am middle aged and possibly because I was with this guy with the suitcase. They stopped it up again moments later, by all accounts.

    It seemed to me to be complete confusion. Certainly the coppers on the ground did not know what was going on. They were contradicting each other, some letting people through one way, other another. I thought at first that it might be a cunning plan, to filter people through one way and not let them back so that they end up getting steered in and out of the area you are controlling.

    But it rapidly became clear that it was much more random and confused than that.

    Funny. The use of helmets by reporters today was ridiculous, not the BBCs finest but they have got on their website some reasonable coverage of the horse charge, and another bit showing two protesters being extremely roughly treated and thrown to the ground.

    They also showed an injured policeman, the poor dear - he'd probably broken a few knuckles. Didnt see any footage of protesters despite 1 (at least) being taken away in an ambulance.

    But you can see why they would not be too keen on that.

    One of the most hilarious things has been seeing from interviews people unable to even speak English properly talk about how they are expecting to go to university and that to them it is a god given right. It is an insult to the many many people throughout history that never went to university and never ended up as drug dealers. Their ethnicity does not matter- if you don't have a grasp of English grammar then you have no place in a university.

    I can understand why they want to go because they see university as a way out, but that is only becuase they have been 'carried along with the tide', namely labour's ideology to get 50% of young people through a university means that employers have been able to demand that a workers with degrees that 10 years ago would have required A levels and 20 years ago GCSEs.

    It also means that for these new students, new vocational courses have to be made up, of extremely questionable academic merit, of which 20 years ago they would have expected to receive as free training on the job. Instead of that people like me are expected to support ourselves studying for a few years, then applying for a job in that field, and not even having the certainty of getting that job.-- It is a con. Universities have are complicit in this.

    Much talk of 'Carlo' and Camilla being put in danger! No mention of the trashed futures of many talented young people of course. They should just shut up and put up with it!

    I foresee some interesting threads on Cif tomorrow.

    I'm not in favour of chaotic violence as a matter of fact, planned violence can be justified in some circumstances. But this would mostly be defence from violence by police.

    Most revolutionaries I know would favour a non violent revolution. But the bastards wont give up their power without a fight unfortunately.

  178. Kermit was saying something similar last time he was about, namely that Thatcher had the sense to keep the Feds sweet, (and could therefore rely on them to protect her while she robbed everyone else blind!!), whereas this bunch of numpties seem to have got so carried away with their special, big boy money scissors, that they've not really thought that bit through properly....

  179. Charles, ironically, many of the people you believe are beneath you, are so much better.

  180. Habib. You keep bringing this up. I have never said anyone was beneath me.

  181. Anne - trouble with herding cats, eh? My sympathies! Being a dog person, I think cats are nasty bastards who will scratch you without warning as soon as look at you, but no doubt this is down to my unfamiliarity with feline ways.

    Have you tried putting the cat's daily food in the basket? Similar desensitisation approaches have worked with both dog and horse.
