So Stan the Man's been given his marching orders. Well, I for one can't say I'm sorry.
We're all getting a little sick and tired of the crap hyped out by the media about "our boys in Afghanistan" and their "selfless devotion to duty". The duty that compelled most of them (at least, in Blighty) to join the Forces has always been the duty to feed their kids, a duty made even more onerous on us all by a government which was never interested in doing anything else. And we've all got to clap, cheer and sing the National Anthem every time a boy comes home to Wootton Bassett in a box.
It's absolutely pathetic.
Firstly, the organisers of this invasion of Afghanistan haven't read their history (and that applies as much to the brasshats as to anyone). If they had, they'd realise that you just can't win a war here. The terrain's a nightmare, and the Taliban know their own terain a damn sight better than we do (you won't hear THAT on BBC News 24). Then again, Karzai, like his fellow puppet Celebi in Iraq, is nothing but an American stooge. And last - but, assuredly, not least - what's this war about, anyway? OIL AND ISRAEL, WHICH WAS BROUGHT INTO EXISTENCE SOLELY TO PROTECT THE OIL FOR ITS CAPITALIST MASTERS!
Bye-bye, General McChrystal. We won't miss you.

SPEND LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW.
How the hell can you even dream of creating anything near a socialist society when all you can think up to cure the world's ills is spend, spend, spend?
THE RESIGNATION OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER.
And so, Stan has decided to throw in the towel. After all, you can't argue with your boss.
But he's got one ally in Afghanistan - the puppet who does America's bidding. Mr. Karzai shall no doubt lose no opportunity of attempting to clear his name and somewhat tarnished reputation as a first-class crook.
Talking of crooks, our wonderful, good, kind, democratic ally over the pond is once more sticking its nose in where it isn't wanted - this time in Jamaica. It would appear that the Monroe Doctrine still holds true - at least in the Caribbean (they're having a little trouble with it in Bolivia and Venezuela!). And, guess what? We used to have Tony, George's crony, pontificating about how we've got to help poor little America in its hour of need. But now that the REAL party of Stars and Stripes - the big boys who inflicted stripes on their fags' backsides at public school until they saw stars - are back in power, on The World at One we have a junior member of this lively fraternity, Rory Stewart MP., pontificating on Stan the Man and what a loss he would be to America's attempts to exploit the Afghan people.
Things don't change, do they?

TRUTH FROM YASMIN ALIBHAI-BROWN.
Thatcher and Reagan were the first true missionaries of the doctrine which has brought the world to its knees (The Independent).
How true. And what a comment on their beloved capitalism!

MILITARY INSUBORDINATION.
It's about time the Commander-in-Chief put the brasshats at the top of the United States Army in their places - down the latrine.
McChrystal's outburst is typical of the arrogance and impertinence of the military in every nation when faced with the realities of life. The military man tends to live in a world apart, a little like a policeman. But the duty of the military man is to kill, not to keep law and order. And since, as a trained professional murderer, his conscience is clear when he is killing women and children at Lidice, Mylai, Hiroshima or any other theatre of war, a xenophobia hard to comprehend outside military circles gradually builds itself up and encrusts around what has always been little more than a human carcass (remember MacArthur's murder of the Bonus Marchers in the 1930s, folks?).
That's why McChrystal hates Obama. He's black.
That's why www.commie-blaster.org hates Obama. He's black.
That's why they ALL hate Obama. He's black. It's a fluke he got in in the first place - isn't it, Rush Limbaugh?
President Obama must take a firm stand against insubordination in the echelons of the military. He must bring his presidential authority to bear on the situation, and as for Stanley McChrystal, who, like most of his kind, would have much preferred John McCain in the White House, he should be given his marching orders. If we don't control the military, they'll control us - as Generalissimo Francisco Franco and his pal General Augusto Pinochet did in Spain and Chile.

WHY I APPROVE OF MR. OSBORNE'S BUDGET.
Well, I'll say this for him. George Osborne certainly didn't hide his light under a bushel when he described the first Budget of the coalition government as being "tough". Whether it is fair remains to be seen, but it's certainly tough.
The pensioners come off best. Pensioners are always a tricky wicket for a new government, and Mr. Osborne knows it. The Conservative Party have learnt that even their beloved Mrs. Thatcher could make mistakes, and they have learnt that lesson in a very hard school. To link pensions to prices rather than earnings was a big mistake and smacked of the puritanical tripe Maggie learnt at her father's knee. Osborne is more realistic.
VAT has always been a Godsend to the Tories. It enables them to pass on tax increases to those who can least afford them while they themselves get off scot free. Besides this, it saves a lot of paperwork and bureaucracy and enables our Conservative masters to throw the canard of incompetence in the face of Labour, who depend upon bureaucracy as a means of supplying "jobs for the boys". Of course VAT will affect everyone, but, once more, Osborne didn't hide his light under a bushel.
Housing benefit and benefits for the disabled are being abused. And it's no good saying that there are only a few attempting to rig the system - walk into any pub in the land at any time of day, you'll find someone doing it. I receive DLA myself, but I, for one, don't mind being re-assessed in 2013 or whenever. I'd rather have it that way than be caught claiming money I haven't earned to which I have no right. And what's wrong with work, anyway?
George Osborne, the youngest Chancellor since the 19th century, shall, hopefully, bring some new young blood into government. After a decade of Brown the Clown, God alone knows Britain needs it. AND WE ALSO NEED TO WAKE OUR IDEAS UP!

WHAT'S WRONG WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA?
It seems to me that the Bull Moose Republicans got a bit of a bloody nose in November 2008 when a black man whose middle name just happens to be Hussein proved that, despite its many claims to the contrary, the United States of America is a democracy.
They haven't got over the shock.
First of all we were all entertained to Sexless Sarah and her pregnant teenage daughter, despite whom mom is prepared to join the "Christian" bandwagon along with Shelley Shannon and other examples of love and human compassion. As her sidekick, Ol' Mista McCabe didn't quite make it, but the American dream wasn't left high and dry - we had entertainment from Huckleberry Hound for a little while, and if you cared to listen to the crap on The 700 Club you could aye get President Robertson (goodbye Jack Daniels, hello Jesus!) telling us that if you rebelled against the First Empire you were diabolical.
But what's this? Chicago AIN'T my kind of town - at least, not if you're Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Holy Hannity or any of the other jerks on Pox News. Because - from waydown in the badlands of South Chicago - OBAMA HAS COME!
They tried to blacken his name, Horowitz and Co.. But they didn't succeed.
So along comes a capitalist, straight out of the Friedman-Hayek Academy of No-Use Economists (full marx, Commie Christian!), whose literate antecedents had a penchant for pickled onions. Realising, in his subtle, economic mind, that oil made more money than what was left on the side of the plate, St. Anthony decided to set fire to the Gulf of Mexico, thereby depriving whole communities in the South of a decent livelihood. But that's life.
And when President Obama does what he can for his people, he's everything that's bad. Not only that, but the race card is thrown in. And to crown it all, our friends in the Republican Party try to use the whole issue as a political football.
Because they lost the election, perhaps?

300 DEAD - UNTOLD WOUNDED - IN GOD'S NAME, HOW MANY MORE?
Mr. Cameron's erstwhile remarks about our fighting men and women, (and let's not forget they're fighting his battles because he's too much of a Conservative coward to fight his own), make a mockery not only of the English language but of common sense itself. It would appear that he's quite prepared to see to it that the younger members of the working class succumb to the bullet rather than the ballot, while the rest of us have to bear the brunt of cuts which he and his have had the irresponsibility to make necessary.
The whole problem for the proletariat lies in lack of education. At every level in British society, education (or, rather, what masquerades under that name), is little other than a farce. Thanks to lily-livered Trotskyist sociologists, corporal punishment has been removed from the classroom with the result that teachers do their onerous task under a constant and morbid apprehension of fear. This, of course, is a thinly disguised attempt to destroy our society, and it has just about succeeded what with pregnant teenagers jumping queues in housing allocation at the expense of clients in genuine need. And if you want a solution, don't look to the powers that be - working-class education is far too dangerous for them to stomach.
I taught myself to use the Internet even though I am visually disabled. I can remember one of my schoolteachers, who taught me both Christianity and Socialism, using the phrase "If you want a job doing, do it yourself". We should all do that. And we should invite Blair, Brown, Cameron and Co. to do some REAL fighting in Hellmand. They might get their eyes opened - or might they?

THE TRUTH ABOUT ISRAEL

IF YOU'RE IN THE WORKING CLASS - YOU SHOULD WORK!
Osborne's budget, although tough, is fair. We can pontificate ad nauseam about the causes of the crisis and its cures. The crisis remains (throughout the world, by the way), and New Labour didn't have a hope in hell of solving it, just as they haven't ever had a hope in hell about anything else except traipsing, poodle-like, behind their American masters.
While Mr. Blair was being feted by the most reactionary, idiotic President that even America could conceive he was arranging for our boys and girls to sacrifice their lives in his name and in those of the bemedalled mass-murderers who run our Armed Forces. Cameron's no different, of course, but that's what one might expect.
And so, after Mr. Madoff nearly "made off" with my account at RBS, and while Brown the Clown and the rest of the capitalist sycophants have been sucking up to the bankers and the other crooks in financial boardrooms, the working people have got fed up with Tweedledee and elected Tweedledum. Well, better the devil you know than the one you don't.
Lastly, a warning word to Trotskyite scum. Don't expect my support for anything you do or attempt to do - whoever described you as "the pimple on the bum of Socialism" was insulting bums and pimples.
