Money, I’m afraid we are all corrupted by money. We urgently need to evolve beyond it. Please research the Venus Project and the Zeitgeist Movement. Paradise awaits us.

The Scum Of The World gets a bit of a kicking in the book ‘Alone And Asleep’ by Oh Sam Bin Laden.

Jon Gaunt is a Rush Limburgh wanna be…with even less class…

@RaidenAsher I’d empty the bullets from the gun on the ground…and beat him to death with the gun!

@NOTWPhoneHacking Shoot him twice and feed him to the lion. Hopefully the lion will be too full to eat you.

@imaginativelads If you type “1975 Australian constitutional crisis” into a wikipedia search engine then you can read the story of how the prime minister was dismissed by the governor-general (who holds the Queen’s power in Australia). It also happened in the UK at the end of the 19th century and the rumour goes that the UKs election last year was forced by the queen due to the expenses scandal (It was a terrible time for Brown to call an election, so we wonder why?) This saves civil war.

@jacksawild So let me get this right, your Queen does have constitutional powers, is that correct? If that’s the case then Britain has certain self correcting mechanisms that we don’t have. Unfortunately, America will have to go through many years of growing up to get to your system of government. Can she sack people by public opinion, how does that work? Just curious.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:23 pm
@imaginativelads good luck to you and the rest of our American cousins. I’m not so foolish as to not realise that your public is being held hostage without their knowledge and i do feel for you all. It also scares the shit out of me that it spreads so far that there will be no solution. This is why I prefer the UK constitution, if our politicians are corrupt we don’t need to kill anyone. The queen will sack them. At least, that is what I hope for like she did in Oz in the 70′s.

Wasn’t Jon Gaunt sacked for calling someone a Nazi because they didn’t agree with his opinion. Say’s it all really.

Hugh Grant taking high ground is a bit difficult to stomach.

@ picardjunior1
very well spotted I completely agree.

And Les Hinton, chief executive of Dow Jones and publisher of the Wall Street Journal, resigned.
The Murdoch empire is so vast and its reach is so far. In America we just make legal a blind monetary voice. Mix that and 1/5 of the media in the US.
I am sure he/his empire does not influence politics for their own gain.
So even in America. The media and industry and politics are one and the same. We are the only ones not in the loop.
We will just look the other way.

note how the bbc has moved the debate from police corruption to phone hacking……
now I ask you which is the more serious ….
the fact that phones have been hacked or….
the fact that those charged to bring those hackers to justice…[ the police...] …..are corrupt….
you tell me….
January 18th, 2012 at 4:27 am
which media organisation creates the environment in which phone hacking is seen to be acceptable….
the bbc ….????
remember it is said by the bbc itself that it is the pinnacle of media broadcast throughout the world ……
