The Biggest Threat to our National Security…

…is of course our political leaders and the unelected civil servants.

How so? Well this bunch of fools regularly lose CDs containing our personal data, lose laptops with defence secrets on them or leave confidential briefing documents on trains through nothing but their fuckwittery.

And now a Cabinet Minister has had a computer with sensitive documents on it stolen. This is, of course, against the rules on handling sensitive information, but then we can’t expect Labour Ministers to actually follow any rules, can we?

And yet they expect us to have confidence in them!

Obama -v- Clinton

So then. All that media coverage about the US Democrats’ candidate for the president.

Who gives a toss?

I mean, it might be different if we were talking about the actual presidential elections because – as eny fule kno – it would be useful to find out what the next leader of the UK is likely to be like and what vested interests are funding the presidency. No, we have all that to look forward to later this year – deep joy!

But it’s like the Americans being bombarded with news about the Conservative Leadship campaign back in 2005. I somehow doubt that they had news coverage lasting six months about that!

What a Tosser!

Yes, our glorious leader Gormless Brown has declared that the continuing erosion of our civil liberties helps to ensure my right to live free from crime:

“Gordon Brown has defended the use of CCTV, ID cards and the DNA database – saying they protect civil liberties.

“In a speech to the IPPR think tank, the prime minister said they helped ensure people’s right to live free from crime.”

I see. So by watching me wherever I go, by forcing me to carry an ID card and by taking and keeping samples of my DNA they will guarantee that I will live free from crime? That’s excellent news. I won’t worry about my safety any longer when I’m considering walking around after midnight in the middle of Manchester or South London or wherever thanks to El Gordo and his band of totalitarians.

What utter and complete toss!

Or does he mean that by doing all that I won’t commit any crimes against anyone else? Didn’t the September 11th bombers carry ID cards then?
