TAX DEADLINE WARNING.
People who file their tax
returns in online have been warning to watch out for a copycat Revenue and
Customs website that charges fees of up to £1000. The sites is called taxreturngateway.com
and looks like the HMRC website, but isn’t.
So, if you are filing your tax return
on line, check, and then double check that you are on the governments website
which is http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/.
LIB DEM MESS
The Liberal Democrats are in a
mess over Lord Rennard’s return to the House of Lords. Nick Clegg wants him to
issue an apology over sexual harassment claims. But Lord Rennard is refusing to
even acknowledge that he did anything wrong by positioning his very ample frame
in the doorways of Liberal HQ which meant that women had to squeeze past him.
Is that sexual harassment? Not sure but he probably didn’t help his case much
by uttering “Ooh matron” or “If I said you had a beautiful body would you
squeeze it past me in this here doorway”.
Eleven women made claims
against the Peer but his friends in the Lords claim he has doe nothing wrong as
it’s not his fault that the doorways at Lib Dem HQ are a bit too narrow. They
insisted that if anyone should be apologising to the eleven women it’s the
buildings architect.
An in house investigation into
the claims found that although the claims were credible they could not be proved
beyond reasonable doubt. Mind you the investigation was carried out by Dave Lee
Travis.
Lib Dem MEP Chris Davies told
the BBC “This isn’t Jimmy Saville, it is touching someone’s leg at a meeting through
clothing six years ago” adding “and as the woman whose leg he touched through
clothing six years ago was Harriet Harman it was definitely an accident,
because have you seen Harriet Harman?”.
Davies went on to say “It was
the equivalent of an Italian man a few years ago pinching a woman’s bottom”.
A bit racist perhaps labelling
every Italian man as a bottom pincher? That’s racially stereotyping every
Italian man as a bottom pincher when only about 85% have ever done that.
Lord Rennard wrote on Facebook
that he has no intention of apologising as he has done nothing wrong. Not by
Benny Hill standards anyway, whose TV theme show tune just happens to be Lord
Rennards ring tone.
NUTS?
UKIP has suspended David Silvester
the councillor who blamed the Xmas and New Year floods on David Cameron’s
decision to legalise gay marriage. David Silvester claimed last
week that the country had been ‘beset by storms’ because the Prime Minister had
acted ‘arrogantly against the Gospel’ by passing same-sex marriage laws. He also said that being gay was a spiritual disease which
could be cured. Silvester said he had learnt at Bible College that there was no
proof that the gay condition comes from the genes, and that through Holy Spirit
a gay person can be cured. Like who knew the Holy Spirit was available on
prescription from Boots the Chemist.
Do bible colleges teach that kind of thing? Not them
all, just the bible colleges run by people who are borderline completely
insane.
His suspension came as Nigel Farage launched a clear out of those with extremist
or crazy views. So out went
David Silvester and all those who blamed the floods on global warming.
Insurance companies being insurance companies have
backed Mr Silvesters views because it gives them a get out on paying for flood
damage thanks to the small print on their policies which exempts cover for any
damage to property caused by gay marriages. You have to feel a bit sorry for
Nigel Farage because how was he to know that recruiting lunatics to his party
would backfire. Apparently he is furious over Silvester’s comments, partly
because he blamed gay marriage for the floods but mostly because he didn’t
blame gay marriage AND immigration for the floods. Just to be safe though Nigel
is building an ark because if a gay marriage takes place between two immigrants
of the same sex we better all grow gills because we’ll have to survive
underwater.

According to the Daily Mail Twitter users reacted
angrily to Silvesters comments calling him a “blithering idiot”. I’m guessing
the Daily Mail was referring to middle class Twitter users then because no one
other than a member of the middle classes uses the word “blithering” anymore.
No one else other than their social strata has used the word “blithering” since
1953.
Miliband.
Ed Miliband’s threat to meddle
in the energy market wiped saw British Gas owner Centrica and SSE’s market
value fall by £6.5b. If that wasn’t bad enough his threat last week to meddle
with banks knocked £500m off the value of Royal Bank of Scotland. As RBS is
more or less owned by the taxpayer the Labour leader and his mouth have cost
the taxpayer £500m. Labour isn’t even in power yet their policies still cost
the country money. Admittedly £500m is a drop in the ocean compared to the
usual cost to the country of a Labour administration, but generally speaking
they usually have the decency to wait until they are in power before blowing
the country’s finances.
The Bank of England Governor
Mark Carney had this advice for Ed Miliband. He told him to think before he
speaks,and then shut up.
Miliband has been accused of
economic vandalism regarding his plan for the Banks, whereas Banksy has just
been accused of vandalism, but Banksy’s “vandalism” is worth a fortune, whereas
Miliband’s bank vandalism costs a fortune. Note the difference.
IT’S ONLY DEFROCK AND ROLL.
A document obtained by Associated Press discovered
the Pope Benedict the 16th defrocked almost 400 priests in 2 years.
This is thought to be the reason why he resigned because so many priests were
defrocked there was no priests left for him to Pope over.
AP noticed that whenever they phoned the Vatican they
got the answerphone message “there is no one available to take your call” and
decided to do a bit of research into why not.
Statistics show that between 2008 and 2009 171
priests were defrocked. In 2010 Benedicts took a year off from the defrocking
and then in 2011 and 2102 he returned to defrocking and managed a world record
400.
A world record that Pope Francis will never break
because there are no priests left for defrocking. He’ll have to achieve his own
record by dehabiting nuns who smacked kids they taught over the head with
rulers, metre sticks or baseball bats. If rumours are to be believed that’ll be
all of them.
