Thousands of people, including two men convicted over terror attacks, obtained passports under false pretences, the Home Office has admitted.I'm sure this lamentable fact will somehow be turned into an argument in favour of ID cards.
It admitted 10,000 passports were wrongly given in the past year, but said plans to interview applicants would combat such fraud.
One of the men was convicted of a bombing in Morocco, and the other of planning a major attack in the UK.
Home Office minister Joan Ryan said the IPS had 16,500 fraudulent applications during the 12 month period to September 2006 - 10,000 of which went undetected.If these 10,000 cases went undetected, how do we know there were 10,000 of them?
Adults and children all over America, all over Australia, in Canada, the United Kingdom, and in the Republic of South Africa are wearing thought screen helmets to stop alien abductions. Many former abudctees have been wearing thought screen helmets successfully since 1999.Remember, keep your hat in a safe place to stop the aliens from stealing it:
CAUTION: Keep the thought screen helmet in the safest possible place when you are not wearing it. In Kentucky, one thought screen helmet was taken from a box that was in a closet. The abductee had dental work and could not wear it. She thought she put the helmet in a safe place. Additionally, four other thought screen helmets were taken by aliens when they were not being worn, two in Virginia, one in upper New York state, and one in Brisbane, Australia.Wonderful.
The government says the contingency fund will be locked away and will "not be easy" to access......which I don't believe for a moment. As 2012 approaches whichever government's in power will fall over itself to hurl money at the project: "prestige event... eyes of the world upon it... global showcase... this is no time to scimp..."

Conservapedia.com is a new online encyclopedia that claims to be the solution to Wikipedia.com's "liberal bias" - by offering a conservative side to the issues. [...] For them, Wikipedia.com was "increasingly anti-Christian and anti-American," the site stated. [...] Conservapedia says Wikipedia is liberally biased for several reasons, including the fact that the site uses B.C.E. (Before Common Era) instead of B.C. (Before Christ) to annotate dates, denies Christianity as a credit to the Renaissance and that the site often uses foreign spellings.Sure enough:
"Kangaroos, like all modern animals, originated in the Middle East and are the descendants of the two founding members of the modern kangaroo baramin that were taken aboard Noah's Ark prior to the Great Flood." This sentence is taken from [Conservapedia]. And it is meant seriously.
...the finding could have implications for human evolution...You're not kidding. As if we didn't have enough problems, now we've got to worry about a race of warrior chimps. I just hope someone comes up with a solution before they work out how to forge iron.
Today I called into George Galloway's Radio show on Talksport here in the United Kingdom. I was getting fed up of all the nonsense promotion of British SIS asset Barrack Obama thats been going on. ... Galloway quickly cuts me off so I cannot get to the details. I was going to expose Barrack's SIS background, links to MOSSAD and of course his Chicago Mafiosi ties. Of course this doesn't sit to well with his censorite self and he decides to chop me quick and also make fun of myself. ...He provides the phone-in audio in convenient MP3 format so you can hear Agent Galloway crush this vital revelation.
Incidentally, in case you're concerned, you can be sure that any crystal healer recommended by the NHS is well vetted and qualified.
Defecting NASA Astronaut Captured Trying To Flee United StatesShe was trying to drive from Texas to the Vatican? It gets sillier:
Russian Intelligence sources are reporting today that one of the United States top NASA Astronauts was captured while trying to flee her country to the Vatican. ...
the Vatican Telescope was tracking the ‘anomalous object’ that had ‘grazed’ our Earth’s atmosphere over Siberia causing 100 square kilometers to be covered with the ‘residue’ this past week, and which many reports from that region described as ‘multi-coloured’ snow.Of course. The US Air Force shot down some alien mothership, so an astronaut decided to drive from Texas to claim asylum in the Vatican, via Florida. Now it makes perfect sense.
The ‘anomalous object’ was then reportedly ‘brought down’ by US Strategic Command Forces over North America on Sunday, and which resulted in an enormous Fireball seen throughout the Northern Regions of the Untied States, after which Lt. Commander Nowak began her attempt to flee the United States for protection form the Vatican.
Psychic Museum axed due to lack of visitorsDidn't see that one coming, did you, Mr Astrologer? Of course, he's got an explanation for this:
Back in 2003, one of Britain's top astrologers, Jonathan Cainer, set up the Psychic Museum, in Stonegate, but he now says it will be closing its doors in 2007. ...
"Although I'm in the prediction business, I don't believe you can make predictions about things you are close to."But surely he knew that when starting the business back in 2003, so presumably sought advice from a independent third party astrologer to predict whether the museum would be a flop. No?
A novelty sunglasses and information displaying member assembly, comprising, in combination, a pair of sunglasses comprising an eyeglass frame, a pair of sunglass lenses in said frame, and a pair of temple bars pivotally attached to opposite ends of said frame...In other words: a pair of sunglasses....
...and a pair of information displaying members having the form of novelty moose antlers attached to said sunglasses, said information displaying members each being substantially flat, elongated in a horizontal direction, and having a thickness in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction less than the length of the temple bars......with attached sticky-out novelty antlers which cannot be thicker than the length of the arms on the sunglasses...
...having a medial edge adjacent the glasses, an aperture formed through the thickness of said information displaying members adjacent said medial edge, said temple bars being fitted transversely through said apertures in said information displaying members......and a hole through them so the arms of the sunglasses can be attached...
...whereby said information displaying members project laterally outwardly from the temple bars in a direction perpendicular to the temple bars and in a direction substantially parallel to the lenses when the sunglasses are worn......so that the novelty antlers stick out from the side of the wearer's head.
The priest murder in Trabzon and the Dink Murder, both, were committed by the boys under 18 years old... The CIA and the Mossad are behind all these murders, yet they use domestic tools for these crimes.Is there nothing which isn't the work of the CIA and Mossad?
As far as I am concerned it takes only five minutes to cure asthma. I have other medicinal herbs that can take care of a number of illnesses. One of it was the one that was sold publicly at the July 22 Square and the Serrekunda Police Station.Surely sufficient detail to satisfy even the most enquiring clinical researcher.
But the Perham family may have to sell the yacht after being told it could cost £10,000 to return it to the UK.If only there'd been some way for them to know in advance that having sailed the boat across the Atlantic Ocean it might take some effort to bring it back home...
Seventies pop star Leo Sayer has walked out of the Celebrity Big Brother house on the day he was up for eviction. It is thought the 58-year-old quit the Channel 4 show after knocking down a door with a shovel. ... The final straw for Leo came when Big Brother refused to give him new underpants after he ran out of clean pairs.Some might criticise him for that, but which of us can honestly say we've never smashed down a door with a shovel in search of clean underpants?
It should be noted that the government did not believe she had practised witchcraft; the 1735 statute covers fraudulent "spiritual" activity.A fraud for which she had form:
In 1934, during a seance in Edinburgh, a sitter made a grab at one of her materialisations. The police were called, and the "spirit" was found to be a stockinette undervest.Even the slightly unhinged "Pardon Helen Duncan" website acknowledges that she wasn't tried for witchcraft, but instead for claiming to summon spirits of the dead - in other words being flatly dishonest:
Helen Duncan and her innocent sitters were accused of pretending 'to exercise or use human conjuration that through the agency of Helen Duncan spirits of deceased dead persons should appear to be present'. ... the Larceny Act which accused her of taking money ' by falsely pretending she was in a position to bring about the appearances of thes spirits of deceased persons'.And the arresting policeman "had paid 25 shillings each for two tickets" for her seance. 25 shillings then is the equivalent of about £37 now, so she was charging people quite significant amounts of money.
In 1931, she was invited with Henry to London to have her skills tested by psychic researcher Harry Price. He recalls: "She was placed in the curtained recess. In a few seconds, the medium was in a trance. The curtains parted and we beheld her covered from head to foot with cheese-cloth! Some of it was trailing on the floor, one end was poked up her nostril, a piece was issuing from her mouth. I must say that I was deeply impressed - with the brazen effrontery that prompted the Duncans to come to my lab, with the amazing credulity of the spiritualists who had sat with the Duncans and with the fact that they had advertised her 'phenomena' as genuine."Oh yeah, that sounds like a genuine case of paranormal powers to me.
In a bid to reveal the contents of Helen's stomach, Price asked if she would undergo an X-ray. She refused.
Reports of three objects found on X-rays of the patient were "misleading" and were almost certainly shadows ...I will now totally ignore this news story until they make their minds up what's wrong with the man.
That this House ... calls on the Government to require mobile phone operators to produce a code of practice setting out a phone etiquette to reduce nuisance and to regulate the use of mobile phones in public places.Oh for heaven's sake. Some of these people really do seem to have nothing better to do. And here's a list of MPs who live near rail lines. Some of them are alarmed by new-fangled flying machines.
The X-ray ordered on Tuesday afternoon revealed a round object - possibly a package - about the size of a two pence piece in his left abdomen, and similar sized objects in his colon and small bowel.Well I'm not surprised he's ill. Now we just have to solve the puzzle of how someone managed to covertly sprinkle those into his food.
William Shatner says that he only agreed to do the new Star Trek games published by Bethesda Softworks because he was begged so much he started feeling sorry for them. ...That's the sort of thing all great actors do, to truly inhabit a role.
And he had to prepare quite a lot for the role, he says. "I need to walk. So I took a walk with my wife. And there's a tree near my house that I have to climb to get into this part, so I climbed the tree and broke off a little twig, and there he was..."
"I am convinced, as are our security services [really?], that a secure identity system will help us counter terrorism and international crime. Terrorists routinely use multiple identities - up to 50 at a time - to hide and confuse."This seems strange because back when they were initially proposed the Home Secretary was adamant they were absolutely utterly not an anti-terrorism measure:
"I've never pretended [it was an anti-terrorism measure], in fact, I went out of my way to say it wasn't an anti-terrorism measure. I was asked this time and time again after 11th September. I deliberately said this is not the moment to engage with something which is much more about long-term investment in our entitlement to services and avoidance of fraud or illegal working than it is about anti-terrorism."Also of note in the PM's hard sell:
"Crime detection rates, which fell steadily for decades, should also be boosted. Police, who will have access to the national database, will be able to compare 900,000 outstanding crime-scene marks with fingerprints held centrally."In other words ID cards are only just some identity-verifying tool for reducing fraud, but also the creation of a compulsory national fingerprint register to which the police will have access.
"Then there is the argument that ID cards and the national register simply will not work. This rests largely on the past failures, which I accept exist, of IT projects of all governments. This, however, seems to me an argument not to drop the scheme but to ensure it is done well. There are plenty of examples of how this can be achieved. The Passport Service database, which holds 70 million records, has already issued 2.5 million biometric passports since March."Oh, passports, what a great example to choose.
