Your Tax Money in Action

Couple given £4,500 of taxpayers' money for 'psychic academy'

That's right, two con artists have been handed over a wedge of cash from the government. During a recession mind you. Now this kind of utter bullshit makes me sick. These two are obvious liars and, yet, have managed to convince the government that they are a legitimate business operation. I have no idea how but I have some magic beans I'll like to sell the government.

These people cannot contact the dead. Yet they use their "power" to con grieving relatives out of money in order to feed them a string of bullshit. How can these people sleep at night? Exploiting those who are mourning the loss of loved ones is pretty fucking low. However, some people are willing to take these liars at their word with not a shred of prove. They've obviously never heard of cold reading. That and taking people's money appear to be the only skills these two can teach people.

Personally, I think people need to grow up and understand the fact that when people are dead they are dead. That's it. Until they do crooks like Paul and Deborah Rees will continue to steal from the grieving.

Go Away

God 'will not give happy ending'

Lucky for us he doesn't exist then.

If he did then, frankly, he sounds a bit shit. Why anyone would, and do, worship him seems baffling to me.

Britain's Best Selling Daily Newspaper

Just when you think that The Sun is as low as possible for a national newspaper it manages to sink even lower:

The Sun grabs Natasha Richardson as a sponsored link

Yes, The Sun went and purchased a sponsored link, from Google, with Natasha Richardson's name as it's keyword. A woman who died an unfortunate death, from a freak accident less than twenty four hours earlier. This after recent online outrage over a cover story that bashed survivors of Dunblane for growing up, going out drinking and having sex legally. Apparently, The Sunday Express feels that the survivors of Dunblane should have joined a monastery or a convent and dedicated their lives to doing nothing. However, had they done that they probably would have written a story in which they would state how the lives of these young people had been so shattered by the events of the tragic day that they are too scared to go outside in "Broken Britain". And on a side note, what a bogus, bullshit, made up term that is.
But that is the national tabloids in a nutshell. They will spin any small story as much as they can in order to wind up the general populous and try to start a campaign about it in the hope people will keep buying their papers to see what the latest is.

I would have claimed that The Sun should have learned from the time when The Guardian made the stupid decision to buy Madeline as a sponsored link key word. That, however, would indicated that the people running The Sun are capable from learning or read anything outside of the Murdoch bubble. No doubt they have their fingers on the trigger of buy up Jade Goody's name the moment she dies.
