Twenty20 Is Just Not Cricket

What a shame that the two most unsporting teams in world cricket represent the final of the Twenty20 cricket world cup. This is no doubt what the ICC wanted as it will give them the most financial return but it is bad for cricket.

Frankly, I can't be bothered to watch the final as it will just be a preposterous display of peacocking and male-posturing. Both the Indians and Pakistanis are flooded with players who obviously have phenomenally small genitalia and are compelled to act like "angry fan" and thrust their pelvises all over the place.

It's a real shame that sportsmanship will not be represented in the final but the ICC don't give a shit, they're just interested in TV money. Oh, if you're an umpire, you'd better not make a decision against Pakistan because you'll just be run out of the game. RIP Daryll Hair.

The ICC are just money-grabbing paper-pushers with no interest in cricket or sport.

Tesco Tax Cuts

Why did Gordon Brown, the Chancellor at the time, give Tesco a 2p tax cut in the last budget? At the same time he increased tax by 3p on small businesses. This move seems to be void of any public motive? It's certainly not in the interest of the British public. Tesco are making billions every year, they're certainly not struggling to make ends meet. They corral most of their earnings to dodgy offshore outfits and avoid paying their fair share anyway. So why give them even more of a break?

Are their personal benefits for Mr Brown? Are Tesco secretly funding New Labour? Something is very amiss, that's for sure. As far as I can tell, New Labour is so indebted to Leahy's small-business-attacking, town-and-village-destroying, supplier-raping, public-health-threatening Empire Of Evil, aka Tesco, that they let them get away with all sorts:

• Massive corporation tax evasion
  
• Massive stamp duty avoidance
  
• Outright contempt for planning laws and process
  
• Failure to maintain food hygiene standards
  
• Selling dodgy petrol
  
• Aiding identity theft and fraud
  
• Price fixing
  

The list goes on. I can only imagine that Brown, Blair before him, and countless others, are getting some exorbitant pay-offs from the EOE. Meanwhile, the rest of us can carry on getting screwed sideways until we all work for either the government or Tesco. In fact, Tesco will have bought out the government by then ... I mean officially, not just bribed them all like they have now.

George W Bush A Rapist?

In December 2002, a 38-year-old black woman from Texas filed a civil lawsuit against George W Bush accusing the President of drugging and raping her. Nine months later, she was dead. The medical examiner's office ruled her death a suicide. She was killed by a shot to the head with a Glock handgun.

The White House controlled US media completely failed to cover the story in any respect, as did most of the equally conspiratorial and controlled British press.

Maybe this poor woman was deluded and killed herself but the authorities had to admit under duress that Bush did indeed have a relationship with her. It would not be the first time that the Sugar Land Police Department and Harris County Medical Examiner's office have been involved in a murder covered up as a suicide (former Enron executive John Clifford Baxter for example).

Read the full story here and draw your own conclusion.

I am pretty certain that George Chimpy McSmirker Bush is the sort of individual that would do anything to cover his tracks and certainly holds the power and influence to do so in our world's most corrupt nation.

FIA = Ferrari

Has anyone else noticed that when the Formula 1 season gets down to the last few races and Ferrari are not winning, there always seems to be some dodgy investigation in to their opposition. Renault in the last two years and McLaren this year.

Of course, McLaren were in possession of the Ferrari dossier. But were they? Where they as a company? As far as I can tell, the only evidence I have read about, including the FIA's official hearing statement, suggests that one employee at Ferrari gave the dossier to one employee at McLaren. In addition he was sharing Ferrari race information with Alonso and his compatriate De La Rosa.

In my mind, all this proves is the involvement of 4 people. It proves nothing against McLaren as a team. The FIA have, again and as usual, tripped over themselves to do Ferrari's bidding. Why not just award Ferrari the constructor's championship at the beginning of the year and save a lot of time? The Italians' victory this year will be utterly vacuous. Let's not forget they won the first race of the year with an illegal car and suffered no penalty whatsoever. The FIA did nothing but ask them very politely if they wouldn't mind changing their car. No points deduction, no fine, nothing.

Ferrari need to remember that they are 20% of Formula 1, not 50% or more.  Furthermore, the FIA have a responsibility to keep motor sport competitive and they should be penalising the real cheats: Ferrari in race 1 and Alonso and De La Rosa for the spy scandal. This whole episode smacks of a personal vendetta and there is something really distasteful about it all.

Those that come off the worse are Alonso, De La Rosa, Jean Todt and FIA President Max Mosely who have all personally shown themselves as very small and petty men lacking guts and moral fortitude.

Back-Pocket Tax Dodgers

Why did HM Revenue & Customs pour scorn on the National Audit Office's findings that two thirds of Britain's largest 700 companies pay minimal tax on their profits? And why is HMRC cutting tax investigations specifically in to corporate tax evasion even though the biggest companies are the ones dodging most tax?

When Gordon Brown was chancellor earlier this year, he welcomed proposals to cut probes in to multinationals' tax affairs so that he could push through 25000 job cuts under an "efficiency" programme that many tax advisors say has drained HMRC of crucial experience. In fact, official figures prove that the wage bill saved by these cuts is dwarfed by the tax lost as a result.

The estimated tax lost to corporate evasion and avoidance is so vast (almost certainly several tens of billions of pounds per year) that HMRC are refusing to release the official figures despite a ruling by the Information Commissioner in favour of Private Eye compelling them to do so.

Why do MPs not take corporate tax evasion seriously? Back-handers and bribery, that's why. Two of the biggest offenders in the UK are Barclays Bank and Tesco.

Most people are probably not surprised by Barclays. They are a bank after all and frankly seem to revel in the reputation they earned during the South African apartheid era as as mercenary bastards who don't give a hoot about anyone other than their board.

But Tesco? Tesco like to present themselves as the people's supermarket but don't be fooled. Sir Terry Leahey is big buddies with Blair and Brown, no doubt greasing their palms with great regularity, that's why they let Tesco get away with paying less tax than many individuals. It's just incredible isn't it? One in five items bought in the UK is bought in Tesco yet they pay less tax than, for example, Simon Cowell. How can this possibly be right? Tesco get massive exemptions on stamp duty as well and their contempt for planning laws is well documented.

One of the concessions they give in exchange for everybody ignoring their massive tax dodging is that they provide all your Tesco Club Card information to the Government. Personal information, purchasing habits, spending patterns, etc. Oh, and by the way, HMRC are using this information to go after individuals for tax avoidance. Get that, our Government and Civil Service let Tesco get away with billions so that they can go after a few grand from a few individuals.

Get Stuffed Blair

In the words of another former Prime Minister, rejoice, rejoice, rejoice! Hoorah, the lying, cheating, malicious, spineless coward Blair has finally had the decency to depose himself.

Of course he's now off to make millions selling the story of how he raped one country and endangered millions of people in his own. Meanwhile, we're still footing the bill for providing presidential level security for him and his hideous wife (and all their leeches of course). A pal of mine has just come back from Barbados and frog-mouth herself was in their hotel pool doing aqua-aerobics along with 10 security guards. And that's just her. Imagine what it's costing the tax payer. There is no end to Blair's moral vacuum.

Blair's replacement? Surprise, surprise, Gordon the dour jaw-twitcher. Yet another unelected PM. Democracy? Pah, it's just not worth commenting on.
