A barrister gossips & rants on intellectual property law, the legal system and civil liberties.
That walking disaster Tony Bliar is apparently a shoe-in as president of the EU if the Irish vote yes. Rather than spending time in jail for corruption or starting illegal wars in Iraq, corrupt slime-bag Blair gets yet more unjust rewards.
The hope that Al Qaeda would assassinate him after he left office hasn’t yet come to pass, but Geeklawyer continues to hope those cunts get their act together.
Vote NO!
Jesse Helms goes to keep his buddy Saddam company. Dubya to follow soon one hopes, and Tony Bliar, then they can all have a fascist circle-jerk.
James C alerted Geeklawyer to a story of the Israelis nearly shooting down Blair when he was being flown by private jet to a conference.
Normally those damned Israelis throw missiles about with all the gay abandon of a drunken Olympic confetti throwing team, who have a large supply of explosive tipped confetti and a burning desire to do really well in 2012.
But whereas when the Palestinians are involved usually lots of innocent women and kids get killed, in Blair’s case they chose that one time to exercise restraint. What could have been more delicious and ironic than to see the evil slimebag killed by the people he sucked up to nearly as much as he did to the US?
Mind you, even if they had fired a missile the chance are it would slipped off Teflon Tony and made its way to the UK and hit ‘Mr Unlucky’ Brown.
Geeklawyer was, predictably, smug at the Court of Appeal’s decision to tell the Government that Tony Bliar’s policy of ejecting People-We-Dont-Like to Tyrannies-We-Now-Like with civil liberties regimes that he hoped to emulate is illegal. Of course the obvious danger to this unwilling tourist was entirely negated: Phoney Tony got a solemn good conduct note, scribbled in prisoners blood, from the regimes concerned:
“Sure Tony, we will treat them fairly, honest :wink: ”
But it gets better: the High Court then kicked Tony in the bollocks while he was still stunned and reeling from the CA’s decision. It turns out that allegedly corrupt payments were made to the Saudi’s and that those in receipt of them coerced TB into dropping corruption investigations on the threat that they wouldn’t buy lots of our jetfighters. Of course that wasn’t really the reason sleazy Tony dropped the investigations. No, honest. It was because the Saudi’s are a key partner in preventing terrorism.
The Court laughed at Philip Sale’s argument that it was simply impractical to stick by the rule of law and high moral standards so we must just do as they wanted. The CA’s retort was “No sale Sales”.
Of course if the oil despots really wanted to stop terrorism they could just stop giving billons of dollars to the terrorist groups they sponsor. But of course, being a genius, only Geeklawyer can comprehend this stunningly sophisticated anti-terror strategy.
NO2ID and Privacy international have issued a £1000 bounty for anyone who can legally obtain the fingerprints of Gordon Brown and those of his typist/Home Secretary Jacqui Smith.
The stunt was inspired by the publication in Germany of the fingerprints of their Interior Minister.
The Government is pedalling the idea that retinas & fingerprints are a biometric feature that will make the ID card secure and so something we can all trust: ludicrous. Ministers have even prattled on about how biometrics will protect our identity and stop identity theft. Quite how it would have stopped the HMRC losing 25 million individuals details on CDs isn’t explained. Methods to forge fingerprints are widely known.
Geeklawyer would like to join in the spirit of the stunt by offering a reward of £5,000 for each of Gordon Brown and Jacqui Smith’s entire fingers, sod the prints.
And £20,000 for each of Tony Blair’s eyes, preferably with attached and still bleeding optic nerves.
Oh dear, Geeklawyer senses an imminent DOS attack; and another visit from the Metropolitan Police complaining about his sense of humour.
[This isn’t an April Fools joke! Thank fuck]
It looks as though the NoLongerNeoLabourHonest government of Gordon Brown is going to allow protests around Parliament (PDF of proposal). These were banned by the Dear Leader after Iraq war protests. The protests outside Parliament demoralised the NeoLabour sheep within and it made it harder for the Whips to drive them through through Parliament’s voting pens. Any shepherd will tell you: sheep are very hard to drive through gates of any sort when people, let alone voters, are shouting and yelling nearby: they panic (the sheep, that is).
So it is all the more astonishing that Brown has followed through on his promise to repeal one of Bliar’s prime anti civil-liberties anti democracy moves.
One hopes that this is not buggered up in its legislative passage through the Mother of all Democracies.
It seems that some things burn eternally and cannot be extinguished by the efforts of mere man: the underground coal fire that rages in Pennsylvania that has burnt for 46 years and is still going strong; or the obsession of Geeklawyer’s growing band of female stalkers (and the odd male one we’ll gloss over quickly).
All of these pale beside the ambition of the ex-Dear Leader. Having buggered up the country nicely by creating new breeding grounds for hatred of the West, and gifted an entire generation of angry young English Muslim men to radicalism; having launched us into a supporting role in retarded George’s democracy tour of the Middle East — critically panned by Rolling Stone magazine; having eradicated at a stroke vast swathes of the civil liberties he said were the reason we were a great liberal democracy superior to the terrorist values; having trashed the Health service into a semi-privatised profit centre for health companies and which employs reams of highly paid middle-managers whose function is to churn out empty statistics about the great improvements and, well, you get the point. Blair is a oily sleazy little runt; a failed barrister with a chip on his shoulder that would save the Amazon.
But of course all that was supposed to be over with his exit from power. Oh blessed day when the clouds parted and the rain retreated to be replaced by the mild drizzle of the chubby, absolutely heterosexual, thingy … Gordon Brown, Google informs Geeklawyer.
We have been conned. Bliar has not had enough. With his obscenely lucrative rewards for doing a bad job, you’d think he’d be happy rolling around on £50 notes on his king sized bed with that fat arsed minger Cherie (embarrassingly, a member of Geeklawyer’s Inn). £250,000 a pop US speaking gigs, £1Mil a year for a part time job, £6Mil book deal.
No. Apparently now he wants to bugger up the EU too by becoming PM of the EU. Eeeeek. He’s been caught lunching the almost equally repellent French clothes horse PM Nicolas SadDozy at the Paris restaurant Thiou. A word of warning SadDozy: avoid doing deals with Bliar in restaurants. Ask Gordon.
Thiou are famed for an exotic meat and noodle concoction known as ‘le tigre qui pleure’ (the tiger who cries). In honour of the oily one’s visit can Geeklawyer suggest a new dish? “The Voter Who Weeps”. Geeklawyer’s French is too poor to render that into French — in French he can only say “Get off my ski lift you Nazi-collaborating frog eating Gallic tampon or Geeklawyer will have coprophilic sex with your disgusting wife after he’s bathed her and made her shave her armpits”.
Why oh why oh why oh why can’t the useless rag-head pillocks in Al Queda assassinate him? It would be great PR for them: many of us would revise our low opinion of them if they could do us this one small service. Their ineptness is proof that the terrorism ‘threat’ is laughable.
update: Some idiot is trying get Geeklawyer prosecuted. Hilarious! Please read the blog, please, it is absolutely frigging hysterical. I’ve never seen a political stalker before but I think that that is what this person is. He has no interest in politics and is a right wing loony. From his poor inarticulate writing and weak arguments he is clearly not very bright and is manifestly poorly educated — ideal Neo-Labour fodder. I am assuming, from the tone, that the interest in Tony Bliar is a homosexual one.
It is rumoured that Sleazy Tony was a bit miffed that he wasn’t as rich as he felt he deserved to be. Supposedly his heroic self-sacrifice in giving up a failed career at the Bar and suffering the indignity of living off his QC wife’s earnings and reputation wasn’t truly recompensed by his public salary.
His plan then became to use the Labour party to develop a post prime ministerial career by changing it’s policies to whatever was expedient and sucking off any helpful US president.
It looks like the plan paid off: JP Morgan are paying him a million a year (part-time only, obviously). In addition he is getting half a million for speeches and ‘consultancy’ work, plus £5.8 million for a book.
Nice. Shame about the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians murdered, the hundreds of British troops killed and the civil liberties destroyed but, hey, you can’t make an omelet without cracking voters.
Geeklawyer is of the view that when people can wind up in jail for protesting outside Parliament we have sunk to the status of China or the USSR.
It is to be hoped that Gordon Brown with his civil liberties populism is doing more than just engaging in “I’m not Blair” posturing. His recent statements that he will rescind the anti democratic parts of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act is to be much welcomed. Time will tell.
Milan Rai and Maya Evans (whom Geeklawyer has met while giving a civil liberties talk to the Hastings Stop the War group) are truly heroic and they deserve support.
