In the news

I'm a man and a child and I've given fuck all (I am neither a man or child) but those cunts can fuck right off with the tax payers money that I'd pay if I had to pay it.

I've done some work for them recently. Bless them, they haven't a fucking clue, and they just keep signing the invoices.

@ snotty ... oh you've paid man, you've paid

Sad news :(

Nemtsov assassinated

I don't generally like Harding's writing but that's a good obit. Poor sod.

The brazenness of Putin is simply staggering. But he must be concerned about the effects of the sanctions to start sending out messages like this.

Putin says he condemns the murder. Good, that's him of the list of suspects then.

That's a relief

Note to tin-pot dictators and gangster presidents: When you say you will personally oversee the investigation into the assassination of a political rival, you are pretty much saying "Yeah, I did it".

Imagine if Cameron had bare-chested, "manly pursuits" portraits of himself published in the national press, then had Milliband shot dead outside the Ivy.

I find your ideas intriguing, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Well the Hutton inquiry was hardly squeaky clean was it?

@Dammit

Lol. That'd almost be as funny as a corrupt and dystopic Britain in which we were ruled by an elite class of people educated at the same schools from childhood.

Luckily that's just coincidence.

The only time Blair ever looked rattled was when asked if he had blood on his hands over Dr Kelly's death.

Both Putin and Blair should be tried in the ICC. Maybe after Chilcot?

its written into American law that if an American president is arrested for international crimes the country can rescue them with whatever military force is necessary. Im guessing Russia has a similair setup.

I suspect it would depend on whether the chap left in charge is willing to pursue the issue or is happy that the last guy is out of the way!

Very true.

Quite pleased, the Saatchi Medical Innovation Bill has been vetoed. (For once, the comment section of this news story is actually much better than the story itself, poorly written by the guardian.)

The school (QK in st Johns Wood) that gave the world N-DubZ also taught that ISIS lad.

6 of them are e-bikes and one of them is just packaging for overpriced crockery.

All of them were "in the news".
