Met Chief refuses to resign despite having surname Blair


 - Public believe that people named Blair should step down
 - Pressure mounts on Lionel and Selma Blair

London, UK.

The Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Ian Blair, today continued to defy calls for his resignation - despite the fact that he shares a surname with Tony Blair, the reviled war criminal.

A report from the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), published today, highlights the confusion surrounding the killing of Jean Charles De Menezes on July 22 2005.  Mr Menezes was shot 7 times in the head after police officers mistook him for someone who looked completely different. 

Christ, not another Blair.

The police had originally claimed that they had aimed to wound, not kill Mr Menezes.  But the IPCC investigation found that, due to ‘unfortunate circumstances outside their control’, the police officers involved, had failed to realise that Mr Menezes’s brain and central nervous system was in fact located in the normal part of the human body, the head, rather than in his feet.

The IPCC report criticises the Commissioner’s handing of the incident, noting that “notwithstanding the Commissioner’s failure to have proper oversight over the tactical teams, and communicate clearly to the officers on the ground, we also note that Mr Menezes’ death could almost certainly have been avoided had the Commissioner been named “Stevens”, or “Jones”, rather than the deliberately inflammatory “Blair”.  However it falls short of calling for Blair’s resignation.

A separate survey commissioned by Conservative Central Office found that 43% of the public believe that anyone with the name Blair should consider their position.

A spokesman for Mr Blair said:  “Sir Ian Blair would like to make clear that he is no relative of the former PM Tony Blair, and any resemblance between their names is entirely coincidental.  However Sir Ian would like to make clear that he has no intention to ‘go on and on’ and, when he does choose to go, which will not be for a long time, there will of course be a stable and orderly transition to his successor.”

Lionel Blair, former tap dancer and camp tv personality, and Selma Blair, the actress from teen movie Cruel Intentions, are also understood to be considering their positions.

Barclays in crisis after shoving your money in a thingamajig whatsit


London, Uk.

Barclays Bank, one of the UK’s largest mortgage lenders, today became the latest financial institution to report a big fall in net profits, as a result of blowing a load of money on some crappy stuff with funny names.  The Bank’s profits were down by between 24% and 71%, depending on how you did the maths.

John Varley, the bank’s Chief Executive, commenting on the results, said:  “There’s no doubt that these latest financial results are disappointing.”  “We kind of wish we hadn’t bought a load of CDO, MBS, RVPs, whatever they’re called, because they turned out to smell rather of dog's doo-doo.  But with a bit of decent packaging some Chinese guy with more money than sense will probably buy them,” he added.Varley - bought some crap, regrets it.
Barclays’ shares closed up 21% at £6.35.

Marcel Marceau dies in imaginary prison cell





Marcel Marceau, the legendary French mime artist, yesterday died of malnutrition and exhaustion on a Parisian street, after failing to escape from his own imaginary prison cell. 

It is understood that Marceau, 84, wanted to return to the Parisian streets where he started his career.  However it seems that something went horribly wrong.  Observers say that it began when he began a classic mime of being inside a prison cell, with the walls closing in. Marceau – where did I put the exit?

“It was brilliant - the panic on his face was unbelievably realistic”, said Francois Villon, a a member of the audience.

But, instead of finding a way of ‘escaping’ the ‘cell’, Marceau appeared utterly trapped and began to call out – in silence – for help from the audience.  However, onlookers assumed it was merely a new twist on the classic mime performance. “At first I was very surprised.   But then I actually thought the ‘trapped man’ dimension was a really interesting new idea”, said mime critic and human cannonball, Roberto Calvi.   

Marceau continued to struggle against the imaginary walls until he became exhausted and curled into a ball on the pavement.  However onlookers still failed to see that he was actually dying, and instead described his harrowing ‘performance’ as ‘profoundly moving’.  Three days later he was pronounced dead by a passing troupe of Parisian medics. 

We understand from his widow, Madelaine, whose body is the shape of a trombone, that she believes that this is exactly how her husband wanted to be remembered.

“Marceau lived through mime, and died through mime.  He was a professional to the end,” she said, while weeping into her éclair.

His death has plunged France and the international miming community into mourning.  It will be marked by a minute of raucous shouting led by President Sarkozy at 11am on Monday.

Bumbling Boris says “gypsies should be shot”, to widespread praise


London, UK

-    Gaffe prone Mayoral candidate makes outburst at press conference
-    Comments boost popularity with Londoners


He’s the Conservative Party’s prospective candidate for Mayor of London and yet Boris Johnson caused another stir last night when he remarked that “it would be quite nice if someone took it upon themselves to round up all those bloody gypsies and shoot them”.


Mr Johnson made the remark in response to a question about what he would do about illegal fly-tipping and dumping by gypsies.  He was answering questions at the end of his official campaign launch.  Onlookers say that Mr Johnson ruffled his hair, and looked vacant before making the remark.


You loveable, white-haired gypsy-hater, you.

 When the crowd erupted, he appeared astonished and then said “Now calm down, everyone.  I’m Boris, the gaffe-prone straight-talking guy with his finger on the pulse of modern London, remember?”  “Oh did I remember to say that I want to fine poor people who smell for causing air pollution?”, he added.

But far from causing outrage, the comments seem to have boosted his chances of succeeding Ken Livingstone as Mayor of London.  Several people attending the event were very supportive.

Hermione Capinhand, 31, of Cockfosters said:  “I like the guy.  He says what he means and isn’t afraid of being politically incorrect.  Come on, you don’t like gypsies do you?”

Vincent Targetpractice, a pensioner from Boreham Wood said:  “It’s refreshing really, someone who doesn’t just spin things.  Sometimes when I sit next to poor people on a bus, they smell of urine and I just can’t stand it.  This is the man for me.”

Posh “looked stunning” while being sectioned

London, UK

Victoria Beckham yesterday caused a stir in the London fashion world after being photographed sporting a daring new haircut and strait jacket courtesy of the Maudsley hospital for the treatment of the mentally ill.
The former Spice Girl and wife of David Beckham was being sectioned under the Mental Health Act after friends had reported “severe anorexia” and an “increasingly tenuous grip on reality”.
Posh:  mental illness becomes her

However she looked wonderfully slim, as friends described her as “back to her size zero best”, in fitted Calvin Klein trousers which onlookers say perfectly matched the strait jacket her arms were forced into by mental health workers.  Her metallic mouth restraint also set tongues wagging.  

Armando Falucci, a London-based designer said:  “We expect gags and mouth guards to be really big now this autumn.  They’re the perfect accessory for every fashion-conscious, weight-obsessed London woman.”

Richard Madeley donates brain to coma boy


London, UK

He’s one half of one of television’s best-loved couples, but yesterday Richard Madeley became the first celebrity to donate his brain - while still alive. 

Mr Madelely, 47, has agreed to donate his brain in order to save the life of a 12 year old boy who has been languishing in a coma since being the victim of a car crash earlier this year.  Eric Funbags was cycling home from school on the evening of May 12th when he was struck from behind by a large people-carrier.

Madeley: doesn't need brain

The car didn’t stop and Eric, who has inflatable knee-caps and a face made of jam, was rushed to hospital.  He has been in a coma ever since.  Having suffered irreparable brain damage, his only hope was to find a suitable donor who could provide him with a replacement brain.  

Yesterday, Mr Madeley explained why he originally decided to become an organ donor.  “I’ve always wanted to be an organ donor, ever since dear old Richard Whitely donated his corneas to some poor blind fellow.  The thought of Richard still looking out on the world through someone else’s eyes is a wonderful one isn’t it?  So I thought, wouldn’t it be great for my thoughts to be running around in a boy’s head after I’ve gone?

His corneas live on

But it was when Eric and his family made an appearance on the Richard and Judy show to tell their story and appeal for a suitable donor that Mr Madeley realised this was his opportunity.

“I was just really moved by the Funbags’ story and Eric’s terrible situation.  I thought – what’s the point in waiting until I’m dead?  Here’s my opportunity to actually make a difference while I’m still alive.”

“I talked it through with Judy and the show’s producers and everyone agreed that I didn’t use my brain that much and that it would be of much more use inside Eric Funbags’ head than my own.  It was also handy that by a stroke of luck I have a brain that is the size of a 12 year olds’ anyway so it will be a perfect fit.”

Vernon Funbag, Eric’s father is elated:  “This is really fantastic news.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think that my boy would grow up with the brain of a daytime television presenter!  It’s just great.  Maybe one day he will get the opportunity to host a ludicrously easy quiz or make flippant remarks to minor celebrities. You never know.”  

A number of other celebrities are known to be contemplating similar donations, following Mr Madeley’s lead.  

Chris Tarrant is planning to donate his hair to a young boy suffering from alopecia, while Vernon Kay has pledged his neck to a paraplegic from Wiltshire.

BEAST HORRORSCOPES for August 2007
by Elmore Bukake, abbatoir 

Update: This month I made my prophecies by examining the patterns I found in my skidmarks. Next month I will smell the future in my earwax.
 

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)
: How are you feeling now you’ve stopped pissing yourself? You haven’t? I know the slowly expanding warmth around your genitals and sudden gouts of urine pouring onto your shoes is a hard habit to break. But believe me, it’s worth it. Instead you can succour the different but equally pleasant sensation of a bladder so full that you have to walk doubled-over while a knot inside you slowly tightens. Enjoy.   
 
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20): Don’t like at me like that. Sod you. I don’t have to do this, you know. 
 
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19): See I told you moustaches were due for a comeback! Pencil thin is best, with an asymmetric twist. Just like my mum’s.        
    
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Where the fuck were you? I waited fucking ages outside that Travelodge, my pockets stuffed with prophylactics and thai love beads.  After 30 minutes I went inside and tried to find a prostitute in the hotel bar.   But then I discovered that Travelodges don’t have bars but some shitty café with no one in it. So I had to go back to the room and have a posh wank. Don’t you do that to me again, you fuck. And by the way those fucking beads look really shit on me.
 
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21): I read somewhere once that there’s a theory according to which we are all twins in the womb, but some of us kill and eat our twins and others don’t.  So if you think about it all twins are fucking pussies. And all non-twins are homicidal cannibals. That makes me feel really good. I could eat a twin. But not for breakfast.
       
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 21): The other good thing about cancer is that because so many people get it the doctors have some really good drugs and medical equipment and stuff to treat it. Yeah I know cancer of the eyebrows is pretty rare, but still, I’m sure they know what they are doing. Personally find that attaching leeches to your ear lobes, like a pair of dark wobbly earrings works best. On a related note, do you know if crabs get cancer? Cancer of the claw - imagine that!
 
Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 21): According to Desmond Morris,lions, along with chimpanzees, and human beings are one of the few mammals known to masturbate. But how do they do it? He doesn’t explain. Not with those paws surely – ouch! Rubbing up against trees? Somehow I don’t think so. It just doesn’t go along with the whole “King of the Jungle” image. Ooooh, here I am, King of the Jungle rubbing my cock against a eucalyptus tree. Stop laughing, the antelopes at the back. No, not like that. If you think about it, if you’re an animal in the wild, why ever bother with a wank when you can just rape whatever you like? Prohibition of rape is the mother of all wanks. Desmond must have been bullshitting all along. 
 
Virgo (Aug 22 – Sep 22): So how was the trip to France? Great place isn’t it? No one ever does a thing. Last time I was in France I had to ask a waiter for a large spoon, so I went up to him and said “Avez vous des grandes cuisses?” He looked rather confused because I should have said “cuirs” not “cuisses”. He wasn’t used to being asked, in reasonably competent French, whether he had large thighs. What was really embarrassing was that his thighs really were quite large. Ouch.
 
Libra (Sept 23 – Oct 22): Ying, yang. Black, white. Light, darkness. Yawn. It’s just all so last century isn’t it? No Mr Libra, unbalance is the new balance. Walk with a limp. Wear a monocle. Strap on a peg leg and hop down the street. Acquire a moustache (one of a pair of moustaches). You’ll feel a whole lot better.   
   
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov. 21): Sure, I can see from your CV that you’re really talented. You’re a brilliant man. You’ve got a brain as sharp as any you could find this side of the Danube. But the thing is what we’re really looking for, which unfortunately we omitted to state in the job description, is that what we really need is someone talentless who will work every hour God sends and never ask any questions. So if you wouldn’t mind waiting till you’re outside before committing hara kiri, we would be very grateful.
 
Sagitarrius(Nov 22 – Dec. 21):   My cousin Barry told me he is going to take part in the Paralympics this year. He’s paralysed from the neck down and therefore stuck in a wheelchair. He said he’s going to do the high jump. I told him “Look Barry, you’re going to be fucking shit at that. The most you can do is kind of lurch sideways and flop awkwardly onto the floor. The chance of you winning that is fucking zero, you idiot.” But he just didn’t listen to me. That’s probably because he’s deaf too.    
 
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20): Think the unthinkable. Imagine the smell of blue. Hear the bellow of a hairy back. Wallow in the silky smoothness of the word “gusset”. Stop. Open your eyes. Welcome back.

PRINCE HARRY “MISTOOK STARVING 
ORPHAN FOR COCKTAIL” 



LONDON, ENGLAND 


Buckingham Palace had to issue an emergency statement last night after Prince Harry, the Queen’s grandson and third in line for the throne, shocked attendees at an Oxfam charity fundraising event when he appeared to mistake a 12 year old Ethiopian orphan for his favourite cocktail, the “Slippery Nipple”. 


PRINCE HARRY with 
a gin & tonic cancer victim
 

The incident took place during a fundraising reception for the charity in a West London hotel.  The Prince who reportedly ‘looked the worse for wear’ after downing several cocktails at the bar, was introduced to Zana Vaakarwi by Gwyneth Paltrow, the American actress and host for the evening.  Zana, 12, was the guest of honour at the event.  She achieved worldwide fame in 2002 after press reports that she had walked 60 miles barefoot to find food for herself and her brother during the Ethiopian famine of that year.  
The Prince appeared to reach out to take Zana’s hand, but instead of shaking it, lifted her off the ground, tipped her on one side and then tried to drink liquid from one of her bare shoulders.  Zana started screaming with fear while the Prince reportedly looked confused.  According to onlookers he then lowered Zana to the ground, mumbled a “Sorry” and sloped off in the direction of the bar. 

Some moments later the Prince apologised for his behaviour, claiming he made an honest mistake.  

“I’m really sorry I did that.  It was just that with her pink hat, and dark skin she looked more like a Slippery Nipple than a starving Ethiopian orphan.  And it just so happened that I was gagging for a Nipple at that particular moment.”

A statement from Buckingham Palace tried to downplay the event:  

“The Prince is very sorry for what happened.  It was an honest mistake which could have happened to anyone.  Zana couldn’t have known that her particular choice of clothing for that evening gave her a strong resemblance to one of the Prince’s favourite drinks.  

The Prince remains fully committed to his work for Oxfam and starving infants across the globe, regardless of their resemblance or otherwise to fashionable London beverages.”

BLIND RACIST EXPELLED FROM BNP


 - Man loses membership after being found incapable of discriminating between different races
 - Move outrages disability rights activists


BARMING, KENT


A man has had his membership of the British National Party withdrawn after the party’s executive became aware that he was blind.  The man’s blindness rendered him incapable of making the sort of racial discriminations that are an essential to being a member of the party, it was found.  The British National Party is the UK’s foremost nationalist organisation which has consistently advocated the repatriation of ethnic minorities and has frequently been associated with racist violence.


BNP rally: This room's got a lot of hate in it

The committee heard that John Quimity, 54, of Barming, Kent had joined the party in 1994 due to his hatred of what he described as “niggers, chinks and pakis”.  Mr Quimity had gone on to be what his supporters described as a “model party member.”
“He came along to all the rallies, and was always really enthusiastic,” said friend and fellow party-member Jason Williams, 28.  “I remember him throwing stones at a group of Asian lads and following it up with some high quality abuse – “paki”, “Go home brown boys” etc.  Textbook stuff really.”

But then the committee heard how Mr Quimity’s racism had been affected by his gradual loss of sight.  According to Mr Quimity’s doctor this was the result of a rare genetic condition which cannot be treated.

               
Shitty nuns

“The first time I noticed something was wrong, it was when we were supposed to be doing a bit of door-knocking on the Asians in the area,” said Mr Williams.  ‘Door-knocking’ is a euphemism party members use to describe harassing, intimidating and hectoring a given racial group in their homes.  “Everything was going to plan but then word got back to me that John had thrown dog shit over some nuns.  Apparently he’d mistaken their habits for burkhas,” he explained.

Matters worsened as John’s sight deteriorated further. 

 “I remember walking with him down Bromley High Street one weekend.  We was just chatting when all of a sudden John starts shouting “Nigger, oy you fucking nigger”.  He followed this up with “Why don’t you fuck off back to Africa you cunt?”  This would have been fine, only the guy he was shouting at was Chinese and just looked confused,” explained Vic Silvers, a senior member of the Kent division of the party.  It was at this point I knew something was wrong with John, that we couldn’t go on like this.”

Mr Silvers referred the matter to the party’s executive committee.  Yesterday, the committee ruled that Mr Quimty must surrender his membership.  They also banned him from attending any future rallies or party events.  

Mr Quimty said:  “This is an absolute disgrace.  I am just as much of a racist as the next man – probably more so.  Sure I can’t see that well but my sense of smell is improving rapidly  - soon I’ll be able to sniff them out.  If I get myself a white stick at least I’ll have a weapon to hand at all times.”  Mr Quimty pledged to carry on practising racism without the support of the BNP.

Racist dogs


One bark for negro?
Barry Kernel, A spokesman for the Disability Alliance said:  “We are very concerned about this judgement.  Everyone should have the right to be racist, regardless of whether they are able-bodied or not.  We recognise that Mr Quimty’s sight is impaired but this is no justification for withdrawing his membership.  Instead the party should offer him the support necessary for him to continue in his duties.
Mr Kernel explained how they have trained guide dogs to be able to discriminate between different races.   “We have one gentleman who has a dog to tell him the race of people he meets.  The dog does one bark for a negro and two for an Asian.   He urinates if it’s an Arab and rolls over and plays dead if it’s a Jew.  The system has worked really well.  We would be happy to offer Mr Quimty such a dog if it would help him.”

BROWN HAILS RISE OF 'MULTI-RACIAL' VIOLENCE


CROYDON, ENGLAND


The attack left one man dead, and another critically injured.  And yet yesterday Gordon Brown was hailing the violent attack by three young men on two unsuspecting commuters as a sign that British society is more unified than ever. 


Model citizens - beeaatch

 “Let’s be clear about this.  10 years ago this would almost certainly have been an attack by Asians on blacks, or whites on Asians.  But here we have three men, one black, one Asian and one white who got together, saw past their own differences and found a common interest in stabbing and filming on their mobile phones an attack on two commuters", said the Prime Minister.
“While obviously I’d rather that they had got together to set up their own social enterprise recycling crack pipes or something, I think we should nonetheless see this as an important step in the right direction”, he added.  

“That shows that under New Labour Britain is a much more socially cohesive and unified society than it ever was under the Conservatives.”

Mr Brown was referring to the recent killing of Philip Carey and Robert Wiseman, two lawyers from West London who were set upon on their way home from work on June 23rd 2007.  The three attackers were Jermayne Jones, Rashid Malik and Anthony Westley, all of Croydon, South London.  The court heard how Mr Jones, 17, and Mr Malik, 19, punched and kicked the two men while Anthony Westley, 21 filmed the acts on his mobile phone.  All three were found guilty of manslaughter and aggravated assault and will serve at least 6 years in prison.

UMBRELLA MANUFACTURERS, CHEMISTS, DUCKS, UNHAPPY AT NEGATIVE PUBLICITY ABOUT FLOODS


TEWKESBURY, ENGLAND


It has devastated a swathe of homes across England and Wales, causing damage estimated at over £2bn.  Yet today a powerful coalition of outdoor clothing manufacturers, chemists and aquatic mammals called for a more ‘balanced and positive’ appraisal of the recent floods.  They are unhappy that the merits of widespread floods are being ignored by the mainstream media.



Fucking floods
Barry Sanderpickle, Chief Executive of Grants Leisure, an outdoor clothing specialist said:  “Look we’re not denying that these floods have been terrible for lots of people, of course they have.  But it’s not all bad.  For example, my company has seen a phenomenal increase in demand for Wellington boots and cagoules the like of which we haven’t seen for a long time.    That means we can make a lot more money and hire more staff.  That’s more money and jobs for people in the UK.  And surely that’s a good thing, right?”
“I absolutely agree,” said Hammond Twinversion, a chemist from Hartlepool.  “The floods have meant that large numbers of people are suffering from ailments such as influenza, as well as a range of respiratory infections and muscle inflammations.    Sure that’s bad for the people affected. But it would be silly to ignore the huge increase in demand for flu remedies, cough syrups and disinfectant scrubs which we have experienced.  That’s great for our shareholders.”

Bernard Tangwhistle, a 7 year old mallard from the West Midlands, concurred.  “OK you humans don’t like rain much, but we love it.  It’s quite literally been water off my back, I can tell you.  Right now me and my missus are floating along peacefully in what used to be a supermarket car park.  We couldn’t have done that 10 days ago.  Let’s try and look on the bright side here.”

BEASTzine too self-referential, says BEASTzine


Apparently, you’re going to die. You will be killed by either a flood, Al Qaeda, Boris Johnson or a stampede of Chelsea footballers eager to buy the latest book about Harry Potter. If you’ve not read it yet, let me ruin the ending for you: Gandalf dies and all the hobbits are really sad. But then Gimli comes out and everyone is gay (in the jolly sense) once more.

I could scarcely believe that Childline drafted extra volunteers to deal with the fall out form this piece of pornography (in the best sense of that word of course, we love porn here at BEAST and encourage it as much as possible). Could kiddies really be that upset by the fact that a made up adventurer died in hideous agony?

Of course, it seems that fictional characters dying is a lot more interesting than the mundane reality of what’s going on around us right now, although the parallels with popular fiction are uncanny. Gordon Brown is sat in Mordor and his dark brooding presence has such a strong gravitational pull that it seems to have attracted all the water from the Moon, although bizarrely it seems to repel Russian diplomats and black people. The Wicked Queen Victoria Beckham has poisoned Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan with cocaine disguised as polonium whilst her Down’s Syndrome afflicted son David Beckham can’t find his own legs. The entire government has admitted to moonlighting as a crack gang in a Spike Lee film. And Bob Geldof is still a cunt.

As I typed the last word of the previous paragraph, a little red line appeared underneath it. Bill Gates suggested that I meant “cent”, a unit of US currency, rather than female genitalia. He is right of course, that’s exactly what I meant. Although having visited a few Chinese brothels, I have trouble telling the difference.

You see what I mean? The whole world is slowly turning into a bestseller. What can possibly stop it? You know what I am going to say of course.

BEASTzine

Consider us to be the Marmite-smeared bookmark sticking the pages of the pornographic novel that is your life together. I know you are often ashamed of yourself for enjoying the news items, narratives, cartoons and other stuff that we bring you. Don’t be. Soak us up. Milk us. Share us with your friends, as you would a peace pipe, or if you're Chris Langham, a girl. They will thank you for it one day.

JACK STRAW ADMITS “SETTING FIRE TO OLD PEOPLE” WHILE AT UNIVERSITY

 - Minister of Justice admits offences but denies position is compromised
 - Revelation prompts avalanche of admissions from senior government figures



LONDON, ENGLAND


Today Jack Straw, Minister for Justice and one of the Prime Minister’s closest allies, admitted that he had deliberately set fire to a number of his elderly neighbours while at Leeds University in the 1970s


 

Straw: arson

                                     Petrol

Mr Straw issued a statement in which he admitted the allegations.

“Like many young people I experimented with arson while at university.  I probably took part in 2 or 3 arson attacks against elderly residents of the city.  However I only filled the milk bottles with petrol, I didn’t throw them.  And I am happy to say that in all the time I was involved there was only one fatality.

To be honest, as I think other former students can attest, one could hardly attend a party in Leeds in the 1970s without being asked to participate in some form of arson, lynching or hate crime,” he added.

When asked if the admission made his position as Minister responsible for overseeing the criminal justice system and therefore responsible for punishing arsonists, untenable, Mr Straw responded:

“No I don’t think so.  We’re all human and made mistakes in the past.  I believe that having been a perpetrator of arson and understanding what motivates such attacks I am uniquely well qualified to implement laws in this area.  In fact I’m much better qualified than, my Conservative counterpart, to implement tougher laws in this area, as he has never broken any laws at all.

Mr Straw, 51, was unveiling government plans to crack-down on arson attacks which have doubled since Labour came into power 10 years ago when he made the admission. 

Speaking on the GMTV breakfast television programme Mr Straw was asked by former recreational arsonist and tv presenter, Eamon Holmes:  “So are you saying you’ve never done a bit or arson yourself?”  Mr Straw hesitated before responding:  

“Well of course I have, but no one was permanently injured and that all happened long before I became a member of this government.”

Mr Straw’s admission has prompted a number of other senior government figures to come forward and admit to criminal activity in the past.  

Hilary Benn has admitted running a protection racket on local shopkeepers in Brighton when he was at the University of Sussex, while Alastair Darling has confessed to being a prominent pimp and pornographer while reading Law at Aberdeen.
Whores

Ruth Kelly, Minister for Transport, said that when she was a student she tried to strangle a number of prostitutes in the Oxford area but “had always been successfully beaten off, thank God.”

It is understood that all four ministers retain the full confidence of Number 10.

TOURETTE’S PRIEST ASKED TO LEAVE CHURCH

- “Our fucking father” interpretation of Lord's Prayer deemed unacceptable
- Baptism performed with saliva last straw, say parishioners

- Priest plans to appeal against “wankers”


DURHAM, ENGLAND


Reverend Seamus Funicular of County Durham will today be looking for a new career outside the Church.  In an extraordinary sequence of events, Mr Funicular, 51, was asked to leave his post as Reverend of St Margaret’s Church which he had held for over 20 years, after being formally diagnosed as suffering from Tourette’s Syndrome.   Tourette’s  sufferers typically exhibit involuntary tics, spasms and swearing.  Well known sufferers include Pete from Big Brother 2006, jazz musician Michael Wolff and Patricia Hewitt former Minister for Health.

It is understood that Mr Funicular’s behaviour grew increasingly erratic over a period of months before the Church asked him to see a doctor who made the diagnosis.

The Tossing Samaritan

“I think I remember the first signs that something wasn’t quite right back in November, recalls parishioner George Watson.  

“It was during one of his Sunday morning sermons, I think.  He was recounting to us the tale of the Good Samaritan, and at the end of the story he said:  “And so Jesus asked the lawyer:  “So who is the stricken man’s neighbour?”  The lawyer replies “The Samaritan”.  Jesus then said:  “Then go and do the same you motherfucking tossbag.  Cunt, cunt.”  He realised what he had just said, started coughing and then carried on as if nothing happened.”

“To be honest it deteriorated pretty steadily from then”, Mr Watson explains.  Whenever he said the Lord's Prayer it started with “Our fucking father” and ended with, let me see  “For thine is the kingdom, the wank power, and the glory – TWAT.  A-sodding-men.”

Baptism of spit

“The thing is, he was a really good priest, truly inspirational in fact, so we just travelled with it most of the time” said Enid Clownpipes, another parishioner.  “You know, turn the other cheek and all that”, she added.  “But then there was the baptism incident and then we knew it had to stop.”  

According to Church sources two weeks ago the Barnaby family arrived at St Margarets for the Baptism of their son Cain.  

“Everything was going just fine, a really nice service actually.  But then it came to the sprinkling of water and instead of dipping his hand into the font he brought up some phlegm and spat on the forehead of our little Cain,” explains Mrs Barnaby.

“He then proceeded to smear the phlegm in the shape of a cross.  It was horrific.”  The Barnabys fled from the church and called the authorities.  This led to the diagnosis of Tourette’s and Mr Funicular’s subsequent ejection.  

Mr Funicular plans to appeal.  In an interview yesterday he said:  “This is truly ridiculous.  I have been a model priest and all this fuss about swearing is nonsense.  That bunch of wankers had better reinstate me or I’ll fuck them up big time.”
