The gubberment in response to the overwhelming distress and and suffering caused by the announcement of the death of great music legend Michael Jackson (rent a crowd speeding to London as we speak to demonstrate against the car drivers and Tory voters who were obviously implicit in his death) have announced a state of emergency and a suspension of the democratic process for a period of 1 year while they think of a way of extending it further.

Well given that since midnight the BBC have pretty much been running continuous coverage of this story, I guess there is either nothing else happening in the world, or a lot is being quietly brushed under the carpet.

Doubt we'll see this quote make the headlines:

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told Siyasat-e-Ruz newspaper:

“Brown is one of the most inefficient politicians of England who has witnessed cases of financial corruption in his cabinet … and has moved his country towards collapse and destruction…”

That is truly horrific.

Sounds like competition for resources more than anything else is behind this.

thats old news been going on for as long as I remember and will never stop you have a continent that largly belives in magic this is what happens.

There is a horrific video clip doing the rounds of a kenyan vilagge burning 4-5 witches they light a msall fire and sit them in it as the vilagers watch men women children.

its very wierd( the victims just sit there and burn very very slowly) and horrific.
should be required viewing for all liberal types.
