Can-kicking condemned
Building on success
Iran is planning more of the operations against US bases in the UK following the removal of the long-range bombers from RAF Fairford. Similar operations are seen as way of getting a big result cheaply using proxy stooges.
Miserable deal
A Home Office review has accused the French of sabotaging the one in, one out scam, from which they scrounged zillions of quids.
Their snivel servants just say “Non.” without explanation and someone scheduled for export is taken off the list.
Possible fit-notice shake-up
The government is thinking about a U-turn on a Tory reform which it dropped last year. Following scrutiny by the former minister A. Milburn, there may be something done about putting young people on long-term benefits on the basis one just one single note from their GP. Or not.
Target switch
After fake bomb threats were sent to airlines last week, schools in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Italy got them this week. Wot next?
Just expected
Why is it front page news that a bodyguard of the boss of the Hamas was given UK citizenship? Anyone can get it, even Put’n the Poisoner and whoever the Ayatollah Bunchacommies is now, the system is that open to abuse.

Public sector shirkforce
The snivel servants of the Dept. of Work & Pensions are taking the mickey out of the order to spend 60% of their time in their offices. A surveillance operation found that 86% of them don’t turn up until the afternoon on a working day.
● The Business Dept. has an occupancy rate of its offices of a mere 20%.
