Judges Need Fewer Powers, Not More Thu Nov 20, 2025 19:00 | Will Jones
The Hillsborough Law is well-intentioned, but its effect will be to transfer yet more power from Parliament to unelected judges ? the opposite of what is needed to restore public trust and democratic accountability.

Shabana Mahmood?s Asylum ?Fix? is Destined to Fail Thu Nov 20, 2025 11:23 | Will Jones
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's asylum 'crackdown' is not nearly enough to stop the flow, says Juliet Samuel in the Times. It still leaves Britain looking like a utopia for far too many.

Attemps at satire are a perfectly vailid form of expression.
Even if they are as 'pathetic' as you think.
I think calling it satire is a bit generous, its in bad taste and a very poor effort at satire, think the writer could put a bit more thought into this sort of thing, the problem with this site is that any old shite can get on it, I suppose I'm worse to be even justifing it with a comment, People are also entilted to be critical as well as its also a form of expression
Yeah, I cant believe you're laughing, you're sense of humour is pathetic. My sense of houmour is much better; I don't laugh.
The photos of the protesting carrots were kind of amusing...
I read the headline as 'Give us a day to mourn Bertie' rather than 'Give us a day to mourn - Bertie"
What a load of bollocks.
Useless.
Now that's a expressing yourself.
But I wonder is it valid?
Is it satire?
Or is it a load of wanky students with nothing better to do.
Wankers.
Bollocks
Good day to you all.
Very amusing!
Fabulous.
Gets better with every comment.
With the recent total saturation and sensational coverage of the death of one insignificant man, its about time some one took the piss!
do be so feckin' serious....
dont forget vegetables have feelings too.... and rights!
Solidarity with the vegetables!
Viva La Vegetablés!! Viva, Viva!!
Whajt are tjhese objects being? This is very rude to the Pope RIP and they are looked like they sexing tools. Very not good and silly.
Everyone knows the pope was a radish.
Red and white.
What have carrots got to do with it?
Orange B*****d's!
By the sacred left bollock of the Pope! You lot are a dour humourless bunch. Reminds me of a certain other bunch of dogmatists who were in mourning in 1953.
Mr. Vegetable man, I salute you - as a fellow photographer of vegethromorphic scenes (I kid you not) this made me laugh out loud.
I hope we'll see these brave veggies take up the cases of the issues of the day!
To hell with the naysayers! (They'll probably meet auld JP Mk.II down there anyway, so they'll be happy enough).
Or maybe they'll meet the thousands of Africans who dared use contraception in definace of his Holiness?
The €U opposed the U$A on the introduction of GM organisms (mostly sold and developed by U$ based biotech corps) to the third world as a "final solution" to hunger, on the grounds that an unproven science biased by speculative investment could and might do untold and irreversible damage to the global ecosystem.
The Vatican through its head of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, Renato Martino, (also the man who offered Saddam a fair trial with Vatican help despite him being dead years and all) surprised everyone on one of the most basic concepts of the .:. books. Only the Divine architect and creator makes things. Like you do what you want with the turkey baster and stuff, but at the end of the day, if it comes together thats the divine architect's job. And if you're a silly monkey you don't go improving on that especially if you can only remember a few thousand years of coherent forgery.
So in a way, the carrots make a point.
3rd world food poverty will end when 1st world business and national interests see it as their responsibility as brothers and sisters to share the resources denied them. Water - Food - Vaccines Development.
any silly monkey ought see that.
The RC church in 2003 "when Karol was weakening month by month" and U$A GM "organisms":-
some links.
write a postcard to the conclave, ask them what Joseph Ratzinger has told them to say. They'll know who you're talking about. Your postcard will get through.

.:. if you don't know how a soul gets in a monkey dont think you can make a seed .:.
Ok call me heartless but what is there to mourn? The pope lived a long and illustrious life and lived to the ripe old age of 84.
I thought mourning was reserved for those who die tragically or 'before their time'.
Anyway shouldn't it be a celebration, like according to the pope himself he should be dancing in heaven right about now - Funk Soul Brother.
Or maybe Ive missed something.........
and whats with these scurrulous insituations and undertones? do you imply that that swimmer's are vegetables - just look at that last image. How dare you. hmph
seriously this made my day, sitting here thinking of the random people finding those carrots on the way to work . . . and the socialist worker carrot BRILLIANT.
The United States Agriculture Department, which imposed the fine of $375,000 for contaminating seeds with an unapproved variety of genetically-modified corn. The U$AD say its dangerous to humans. Syngenta say it isn't dangerous to humans. Syngenta is the world leader in crop protection and ranks third in the commercial seeds market. -The company makes products that help farmers fight weeds, fungi and pests.-
It was formed in 2000 by the merger of the agrochemicals divisions of AstraZeneca and Novartis.
-It employs about 19,000 people in more than 90 countries. -Net profit in 2004 after exceptional items soared by 84 per cent to $460 million
Meanwhile on the other side of the garden the Spanish have watched with increasing wonder the death of their bees, estimated at 290million in the last year, due to a vicious little creature - Varroa mite (Varroa jacobsoni) many millions of bee colonies globally are falling prey to this little critter. Syngenta also develop crop spray to control the various mites, fungi and bacteria that prey on bees. But for reasons of R&D cost effectiveness the effect of their GM products on bee health or the phenomenal recent added aggresiveness of those tiny litle Varroa mites has not been studied.
Bees are wonderful little creatures they may fly many kilmetres to find and mix pollen spreading their evil mites all over the isolated by 200 metre GM crops in the way. It is way past time therefore that in the name of Science and Progress we urged all children to finally kill the bees.

He was a very twentieth century person.
He lived in times when personal action was customarily subsumed to ......
living lies at home and on the street.
reading lies and watching lies.
Hopefully he did really sincerely believe
the good things of his tradition that he seemed
so well to fit as a leader.
