Back in December …

Prime minister Gordon Brown wants investment in technology to be at the heart of the UK and Europe’s economic recovery.

Speaking after a summit with business leaders from firms including Vodafone and BT, as well as French president Nicolas Sarkozy and European Commission president José Manuel Barroso, Brown said the time had come “to build the technological and environmental infrastructure of the 21st century”.

And yesterday …

Mobile phone operator Vodafone has announced plans to cut about 500 jobs in the UK in an effort to reduce costs.

Jonah strikes again.

A senior Met Police officer has warned that we are likely to experience a “summer of rage” caused by “known activists”.

Superindendent David Hartshorn says that “known activists” are likely to organise protests and the recession will provide them with the “footsoldiers” they need.

The “known activists” are most likely the BNP.  The timing – just after the BNP trounced Liebour in a Kent by-election – is too much of a co-incidence.  He also mentions banks as a viable target.

Would the BNP use the banks as an excuse to wind people up?  Does a bear shit in the woods?  The BNP are left wing socialists with a policy of extensive nationalisation.  Most of their members are only interested in booting foreigners out of the country but the party is about more than that.  The BNP want a nationalist socialist country with prison sentences for people who weaken the state and nationalisation of key industries.

But the police are wrong to be concentrating on the BNP – they should be looking at the eco-terrorists as the biggest threat.  These are people that are evangelical in their belief that the world is about to end in a man-made climate apocalypse.  Sensible people who realise that the global warming scam is a load of bollocks have already been labelled as worse than the nazi’s and likened to holocaust deniers and virtually nobody dares question the climate change propagandists in public.  Importantly, they vast majority of eco-terrorists are also anti-capitalists and they see capitalism as the cause of the man-made climate change they’ve invented.

The eco-terrorists have a judgement in their favour that they can use to justify whatever damage and destruction they want to cause.  They argued that they were justified in causing tens of thousands of pounds worth of damage to Kingsnorth power station because the law says you can cause reasonable damage to prevent even greater damage from happening.  This was intended for things like breaking down the door of a house to turn off the gas supply in times of emergency or breaking into a petrol tanker to move it from a car fire, that type of thing.  But a jury agreed that the eco-terrorists at Kingsnorth were justified in causing £30k worth of criminal damage to the power station because of the damage it causes to the environment.

That ruling gives the eco-terrorists a get out of jail free card.  In fact, it gives them an avoid jail in the first place card.  They’re motivated, the British government is doing their propaganda work for them and the law appears to be on their side.  Rather than obsessing over the BNP where the entire establishment is working against them, the police and politicians should be more concerned about the eco-terrorists that are already on the inside.

Mrs Sane and I went to a 40’s and 50’s themed party last night.  I’ve never had to wear a monkey suit before – we don’t get invited to those sort of parties usually!

I felt like a waiter in an Indian takeaway.

Another day, another victim of the curse of Jonah Brown.

Yesterday it was the turn of Saab who, following talks between their Chairman and El Gordo on setting up a new factory in the UK, are now considering filing for bankruptcy protection in Sweden.

Today’s victim is the mining company, Anglo American, which has just announced 9,000 job cuts worldwide.

The link with Jonah?  Cynthia Caroll, Chief Executive of Anglo American sits on Jonah Brown’s “Business Council for Britain” – a group of unelected representatives from big business who advise him on business policy for England (it’s devolved in the rest of the UK).

Jonah Brown is continuing to wreak havoc on the global economy.

A week ago he visited an Ericsson R&D plant, a Mini factory and a Corus factory.  A few days later Ericsson announced 5,000 job cuts, BMW announced 850 job cuts at Mini and Tata announced massive job cuts as part of a £600m cost saving exercise at Corus.

When I saw the announcement that Saab is considering filing for bankruptcy protection in Sweden, my first reaction was “what’s the link with Gordo?”  And sure enough, it didn’t take long to find evidence of Jonah’s involvement.

El Gordo has been talking to the head of General Motors in Europe, Carl-Peter Forster, about setting up an electric car factory in the UK.  Carl-Peter Forster also happens to be Chairman of … you’ve guessed it … Saab.

How different things might have been if Jonah hadn’t been allowed to spread his curse around the globe.

Jade Goody shot to fame for her … interesting … performance on Big Brother and has kept herself in the papers by doing daft things and insulting people.

Sadly, she has terminal cancer and her time on the mortal coil is coming to an end.  She will leave behind two young children.

Doctors are doing what they can to prolong her life and it’s a cruel twist of fate that Jonah Brown has chosen to curse her by praising her determination.  He visited John MacDougall, the MP for Glenrothes, days before he lost his battle with cancer …

RBS is getting a kicking for its billion pound bonus package at the same time as taking god knows how much money off the taxpayer.

Yes, RBS has been run into the ground, taken on too much high risk debt and over-extended itself buying ABN Amro, but the majority of RBS staff weren’t responsible for the bad decisions – they were just doing their jobs and have continued to do so in the face of mass redundancies and an uncertain future.

The people at the top – the chairman, the board and senior managers – shouldn’t get any bonus whatsoever until the bank has paid the taxpayer back every penny it’s had from the bailout.  But the ordinary staff aren’t responsible for the collapse of RBS and they shouldn’t be punished for it – if their individual performance merits a bonus then they should get it.

Over the last few days the news on the BBC and ITV have, understandably, talked about virtually nothing but the snow.

There are plenty of other things going on in the world they could be talking about but the snow is a major event so fine.  But with the snow has come an apparent metrication of the BBC and ITV.  When they tell us how much snow has fallen it’s 10cm or 15cm.  They aren’t even giving it in inches as well for the majority of the population who don’t do metric.

Surely excluding most of the population by using only metric is a breach of the BBC charter.
