The plants smell pretty strong these days

The Scum Online - News: Raid brothers' £38k stash
By now I'm sure that everyone has heard of the 250 police officers raiding a small terraced house under the pretence of terrorism-squashing. After all the expense, shootings and harrassment, it has emerged, much to Scotland Yard's embarrasment, that there was no bombs or terrorist equipment.
Now, over a week later, they say they have found a stash of £35,000 in cash in one of the men's bedroom. Surely, after such rigorous searching, £35,000 would have been spotted pretty quickly? Why do I get the feeling that they have planted this, the police in the U.K. aren't hesitant to do this when it comes to the propaganda war against terrorism, as the Guildford Four and Birmingham Six will tell you.
And of course, who is the first paper to break the news of the new 'find'? The Scum. Only the most Islamophobic of all the mainstream papers, who are guaranteed to frenzy it up beyond recognition of any of the 'facts'.

Man against Nature, chapter 24,023,986

The Scum Online - News: Potty hippo attacks boat: "Potty hippo attacks"

Reading the news in today's Scum about the woman who was attacked by a hippo, one thing repeatedly struck me. Stupidity.

The paper's headline, and report, seemed to suggest that in some way the animal was acting completely abnormally. The tourist, whose canoe was "snapped in half", was quoted as saying, "I thought hippos were sweet."

What is wrong with people. A hippo is a wild animal. If you are going to go anywhere foreign for a break, it is adviseable to do some research. This is so that you know any customs the people in the host country adhere to, or any dangerous animals that may inhabit the place.

It is a constant shortfall of the British tourist, who is usually completely ignorant of all these things.

The Government's pandering to the Scum is threatening the very basis of the Constitution

BBC NEWS | Politics | Reid sentence attack 'unhelpful'

As John Ried jumps on the Scum's bandwagon of criticising judge's sentences, he is threatening the Constitution.
Tony B Liar has also been in on the pander-to-the-Scum bandwagon before, to the point where it's becoming difficult to discern who is actually running the country, The editor of the Scum, or B Liar's cabinet.
If John Ried does not like the sentences handed down by judges, as Home Secretary, he is in an advantageous position to change the law, such as mandatory sentences.
But he's probably not sure which seat on the Cabinet he holds any more, given that his staunch Blairism, combined with his comparitive lack of scandal (actually now that I thikn about it, a commendable lack) compared to the other Blairites, means he has been playing musical chairs in all the key Cabinet positions.
