A pro-Christian advert that claims a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer in young women increases teenage infertility has been banned by the advertising watchdog.
Paid for by fundamentalist group Christian Voice, the advert in the New Statesman entitled, ‘Violent crime – sowing and reaping’, condemned government health policies, including giving a key cancer vaccine on the NHS, for focusing on curbing teenage pregnancy at the expense, the advert claimed, of teenage fertility.
“Every government initiative, including the HPV [Human papillomavirus] vaccine, will increase [teenage infertility], but as all the targets revolve around pregnancy, no-one in power knows how many young people they are making sterile and nobody cares”, it read.
But after receiving complaints that claims linking the HPV vaccine to teenage infertility could not be substantiated, the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) ruled the advert broke advertising rules and could not be republished
Try making ads that have a modicom of truth in it, instead of reasoning like…
Mr Green, national director of Christian Voice, said the availability of the vaccine “encourages people to just keep on fornicating, increasing promiscuity”, which he claims will then lead to an increase in teenage infertility.
Erm. It’s a vaccine against cervical cancer. It is not a contraceptive. It doesn’t protect against the clap or crabs, or stop a baby from being made.
In light of this new information, what is your problem with this vaccine? Or is your problem with two people doing what comes natural?
Mr Green said the ruling against Christian Voice represented “double standards.”
“On matters of faith and morality the ASA seems to make up the rules as it goes along,” he said.
Gordon Brown made a dramatic retreat from plans to exempt MPs’ expenses from the Freedom of Information Act.
The surprise announcement made during prime ministers questions follows the collapse overnight of a bipartisan agreement between Brown and David Cameron, the Tory leader, to back a parliamentary order exempting MPs’ expenses from the act. The move came after he was challenged by Tory backbencher Douglas Carswell over why he was in favour of keeping them secret.
Fucking good. It’s good that it’s been, how can I put it…? Ah, postponed. But it’s not a victory for Teh Good, because look at that. The two leaders had an agreement.
Brown told MPs: “We thought we had agreement on the Freedom of Information Act as part of this wider package,” he said. “Recently that support that we believed we had from the main opposition party was withdrawn. So on this particular matter, I believe all-party support is important and…
Translation: ‘We had a pact, but something upset them conservative buggers and I’m not gonna do anything silly unless it makes us all look shit.’
we will continue to consult on that matter.”
See? Postponed.
The PM said proposals for reforms of MPs’ expenses would provide “more transparency” than in most other parliaments around the world.
This is the bit that really flumoxes me. I’m not sure what the rest of the reforms are but surely, making expenses exempt from FoI enquiries does exactly the opposite. Shit, I was forgettin’. Enclosing something in quotes makes it the make the words mean the opposite.
Jesus, these politicians are “really clever”, aren’t they?
Cameron made a late decision to order his MPs to oppose the move after learning from Alan Duncan, the shadow leader of the Commons, that Labour MPs were being whipped to back it. But Cameron’s action in turn became the catalyst for Brown’s U-turn. It left Labour, despite the chance of winning a three line whip vote, in danger of being isolated and blamed for imposing secrecy on MPs’ expenses, which is very unpopular with the electorate.
That means that Cameron was fine with the obfuscation of their expenses as long as no-one is coersed into approving the law (or whatever the fuck it is). If people do something of their own free will, they’re less likely to break away, and in this situation that means leaks. Really. Fucking. Embaressing. Leaks.
And that fucker Brown? Yes, the move is unpopular. Wonder fucking why? It’s ok to impose secrecy and be unpopular as long as it’s not just Labour that are hated. Even more. As long as politicians as whole are reviled and hated, it doesn’t matter does it.
That’s enough it’s winding me up too much, I’m just starting to swear uncontrollably.
Cunts, the fucking lot of them.
Jag Singh is Chief Information Officer at the online campaigning agency, MessageSpace, which aims to connect the public with organisations by harnessing the new participatory processes taking place on the web.
So what exactly is the new particapatory process being harnessed when Messagespace, ahem, campaign on behalf ofNorwich Union, HSBC, Toilet Duck and Channel 4?
Carry a few political ads too and an ad agency can call itself a campaigner in the new way of doing thing s on teh internets. How very grand.
Craig Murray has a new book out, The Catholic Orange-Men of Togo and other conflicts I have known.
This time though, he is self publishing, due to Schillings sending letters scaring publishers on behalf of people like Tim Spicer, a mercenery of the British in Iraq, who don’t like to have their questionable actions questioned, and don’t want to go to the courts when they are.
Anyway, the book is available for free (who says you never get anything for nothing , eh?), or in hard back, direct from Craig or from Amazon.
TV’s The Apprentice boss Sir Alan Sugar and Amy Winehouse record producer Mark Ronson are among prominent names discussed on a fanatics’ website.
Labour Peer and pal of Tony Blair Lord Levy, Foreign Secretary David Miliband and Princess Diana’s divorce lawyer Anthony Julius are also understood to be potential targets.
British anti-terror expert Glen Jenvey is convinced online forum Ummah is being used to prepare a deadly backlash against UK Jews.
Jenvey has an interesting past, and as Tim from Bloggerheads who has done most of the digging with some help from others notes, he’s been involved in editing his own Wikipedia page, like all the finest egomaniacs, so nothing on there can be trusted in the slightest. Jenvey’s page claims that he studied radical Islam at college, spied on Iran for the United States, and also infiltrated the Tamil Tigers
FEARS grew last night that hate-filled Islamic extremists are drawing up a “hit list” of Britain’s leading Jews — bringing the Middle East conflict terrifyingly close to home.
I read this post
“The names and addresses of Wealthy Zionist Jews can be found in the lists of sponsors and contributors of Zionist Charities. The names and addresses of Company Directors that work for Military Industrial Companies that support these tyrannical regimes can be found in publication like Dunn and Bradstreet”
It would be beneficial to start compiling a list so that we can write polite letters reminding them of the injustices of israel and to stop supporting israel
FFS. Hardly a call to arms is it? Polite letters.
The thread is pretty much this Saladin1970 guy, who starts off just posting a couple of links to where those names can be found and later on a couple of names from those lists, no actual addresses or phone number though and then some muslim/anti-Israel organisations/people to write, to put pressure on the pro-Israel organistions they deal with through divestment and other means.
So. So far Saladin1970 has tried to instigate a polite letter writing campaign. I’m quaking in my fucking boots.
Meanwhile. Up pops another member of the forum, Abuislam
Have we got list of top jews and supporters yet we can target? can someone start posting names and addresses
Some ones eager. Isn’t that what Saladin1970 has been doing, albeit without the addresses. I imagine finding some ones address is not particularly hard but may take a little more effort than just firing a name into Google. Saladin1970 replies
sure
the simple way i did it was to go through each of those on the list
http://www.thejc.com/category/news-topics/jc-power-100
,it will give the work they do or the organisation they own, and you will be able to find the contact details.
The best thing to do is not to contact them directly. But identify a muslim organisation who works in that field or in that area and convince them to act to marganilze the zionists activity
So here are a few that i dug up the details for already with suggestions on what muslim organisation to contact.
will start it on a new page
C’mon Abuislam, Saladin1970 is doing his best, you have a look.
This is the Thread which triggered the Headline in The Sun News Paper Today
I can confirm that the User “AbuIslam” who is posing as a Muslim on this forum is infact a freelance Journalist by the name of “Richard Tims” who registered on this forum to twist what the original Intent of this thread was for and to make Muslims look bad.
Abuislam Deliberated added comments on this thread which made is as if this thread was intended to cause harm to names that were mentioned
This has been confirmed from his IP address and Email addresses* has he used on this forum and previous usernames
But where did the other names in the Suns’ piece come from, Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, and Anthony Julius? They aren’t mentioned in the thread at all.
Details, mere details, eh? Well, they got to make sure we’re scared of the Muslims.
To throw the shoe, or not to throw the shoe: a cultural dilemma. Don’t you love it when Western reporters explain to their readers differences between their culture and Arab culture? I don’t know about you, but I really love it. Here is from the New York Times: “During the argument, heated words were exchanged and shoes were thrown, a severe insult in the Arab world.” So throwing a shoe at somebody is a “severe insult in the Arab world” but not anywhere else? How exotic. Tell me more, o culture experts of the New York Times. So today, I wanted to test this theory. So I got out of my house with a bag of shoes: I started throwing them, shoe by shoe, at my neighbor, aiming at the face. My neighbor laughed, and could only say nice things to me as a good neighbor. He then explained: you see, o Arab neighbor, in our American culture, throwing a shoe at somebody is not an insult at all. In fact, it is taken as a sign of affection. I returned back to my house, having learned about American culture, what I knew not before. Thanks to you, New York Times (and your intelligent and culturally informed reporters).
A highly curious but also insightful story into how “gotcha!” journalism works on the Sun has emerged:
“A man who plotted to covertly film a “hit list” of stars, including Amy Winehouse, taking drugs so he could sell the footage to newspapers was jailed for two years yesterday.
Johnny Blagrove, 34, and his girlfriend Cara Burton, 22, sold footage of the singer apparently smoking a crack pipe to The Sun for £50,000, but the video was later passed to police.
In the final scene of the tape, which was viewed by a judge at Snaresbrook crown court, east London, Blagrove laughs to himself after telling his reflection in a bathroom mirror: “You have succeeded. You have done it. You are going places. It’s taken a while, but I’ve finally got what I want.””
What the Guardian article doesn’t mention is that it seems to have been the Sun itself that turned in its source, having previously paid him £50,000, or far more than the average Sun hack will earn in a year. Having provided the police with the footage secretly shot by Blagrove of Winehouse, apparently smoking a crack pipe, they went on to raid Blagrove’s home, where they apparently found additional footage of Peaches Geldof. Rather than keep this evidence for any potential trial, the police, having had their back scratched, seem to have given the video straight back to the Sun
Two solicitors who took millions of pounds from compensation payouts given to sick miners have been struck off.
Jim Beresford and Douglas Smith, of Doncaster-based Beresfords Solicitors, had denied 11 counts of serious professional misconduct.
The Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal heard the men acted “unacceptably” by charging clients even though the government was paying their fees.
It found eight of the 11 allegations against the lawyers proven.
Inadequate advice
The law firm argued there was “absolutely nothing wrong” with earning substantial fees from its business conduct.
Beresford, 58, said last year to be Britain’s highest-earning solicitor, and Smith, 52, made millions of pounds from personal injury claims for miners under the government’s coal health compensation scheme.
Tribunal chairman David Leverton said: “If ever there was a group of persons who needed the full care and attention from solicitors, it was these miners.
“Mr Beresford described himself as an entrepreneur. Unfortunately, his attitude allowed himself and Mr Smith to put commercial goals before his clients’ best interests.”
…on receipt of leaked confidential information, the MP sends it to the “proper authorities”. If he then uses the information so gained to “guide” questioning in the House – whether written or oral – and thereby puts that information into the public domain, then he is pretty much watertight, protected by Parliamentary privilege.
The place for opposition to hold the government to account is the House of Commons, not the pages of the press. If the media then publish the proceedings of the House, that is a matter for them and, generally, to be welcomed – that is democracy at work. MPs leaking confidential government information, passed to them illegally by civil servants, is not. In that context, it is not so much what you do, but how you do it.
…in the spirit of fairness that a leak is a leak is a leak whether it’s in the government’s favour or not. Does anybody think that, if the substance of the information leaked to Green had been ‘everything’s rosey at the Home Office’, he’d have had nine policemen standing around him yesterday?
