Aston Villa fan overjoyed by Chelsea winning Champions League (photo)
HOW do fans of other British clubs react to Chelsea winning the Champions League with victory over Germany’s Bayern Munich? The overriding word is: indifference. Only the winners and the losers get to experience the real emotion. The rest are reduced to the role of mere spectators. Unless you are Aston Villa fan David Cameron, and you’re stood in the Laurel Cabin conference room at Camp David, Md., with Barack Obama, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission. In which case you have to punch the air and bathe in reflected glory.

When Beckham’s LA Galaxy met Barack Obama few dared move – video
WHEN David Beckham, Robbie Keane and the rest of the LA Galaxy Football team met Barack Obama, the mood was breezy. Aside form BEcks, Robbie and captain Landon Donovan, the rest of the chaps are legends in their own lounges. So. What can they do to rise their profiles. Will one of them tweet live from the scene a la Joey Baton? Will one of them do a Mario Balotelli and let his enthusiasm run away and grap Obama in a hug? Or will they just stand still, like cardboard cut-outs advertising teeth and hair gel?

David Cameron meets with leading anti gay marriage activist
HOW in tune with public opinion is David Cameron? Well, not long since Barack Obama approved gay marriage, Dave had meeting with the Dalai Lama. He’s man who says homosexuality is mortal sin. The man who appears in the West as a unifying force of good – has anyone spotted him in the same place as Nelson Mandela? – once told the Vancouver Sun:
“I think that we should follow according to one’s holy teachings. For a Buddhist,the same sex, that is sexual misconduct… And also marriage, even in the heterosexual cult of marriage, they use the mouth and the anus, this is sexual misconduct.”
Gay marriage is a big deal. Does Dave know..?

The Pissing Stalin Golden Monuments of Ukraine need work (photos)
THE UKRAINE is not all about natural born killers, political aggro, coffin love, topless women, intolerant women, football violence, more topless women, pollution and dead dogs. It’s also about biting satire. Fana of Ukraine’s nationalist party Bratstvo have erected statues of former Soviet Dictator Joseph Stalin with his politburo out. The Pissing Stalin Golden Monument has appeared in Kiev and Lvov. More status are planned for Odessa and Dnepropetrovsk.
The idea is that the statues show up those who still support Stalin.

Why France voted for Hollande: revealed
FRANCOIS Hollande is now running France. Germany gets Greece, Portugal and Ireland. Hollande gets France. It’s a topsy-turvey world in the go-ahead Europe Union.
But what did the French vote for. The Times says it was a “revolt against austerity”. The Indy says “France turns left”. The Telegraph says the EU is “on course for turmoil” (where has that paper been?). But the pick of the bunch is the Mail, which declares that the French have voted for a return to “ruinous spending”.

Daily Mail calls Osama bin Laden Obama bin Laden
LIZ Jones, the Daily Mail’s regular troll bait, is talking about the “cooing couples” who upset her by looking at ease with each other’s company in public. In one paragraph she writes about the death of Barack Obama:
I far more admire couples who are not joined at the hip. My role model at the moment is Hillary Clinton, who failed to tell husband Bill that special forces were about to assassinate Obama Bin Laden. I love that.
Obama bin Laden… Who he? Is it just a slip of the tongue, or part of a sinister movement we call The Barack Obama Death Cult, the media plot that seeks out the apparent impending murder of Obama and presents it inevitable fact?

Why miserable Ken Livingstone lost – it wasn’t the Jews, it was him
KEN Livingstone has shuffled off the political stage to dedicate himself to his newts and his media career. So. Why did face ache lose? Anorak recalls draconian Ken telling Londoners not to flush the toilet for numbers 1s. It was Ken who told us: “There’s a real chance that human civilisation will not survive beyond the end of this century.” Ken is not all that keen on people. He told us that he planned to “educate the mass of Londoners” about Islam. Because without Ken, Londoners would be too stupid to investigate a religion for themselves. Ken is the joyless one who said in 2002, when he was mayor, “New Year’s Eve is not an event, it is a public order problem.”
And then there was his problem with the Jews. Hugh Muir looks at the matter in the Guardian:
How much damage did he inflict by failing to make peace with the Jewish political establishment, still sore over conflicts past: the insult to a Jewish reporter, the embrace of Muslim cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi? When in March he secretly met a group of senior figures who hoped to reach accommodation, why didn’t he make nice? Instead he upset some again by referring to the Israeli government as Zionists and implying that “rich” Jews wouldn’t vote for him anyway. “I can’t say words that I do not feel in my heart,” he once declared.

Ed Miliband’s bong show – The best local election photos of 2012
THE local elections were rolling news dullsville. Only 30 percent of us bothered to vote vote. The rest – a whopping 70% – are allergic to school halls and opted to remains elsewhere. This group could have opted for a postal vote. But 89% of Britons only use email, so that was weird. The highlights – and there were some, were the BNP getting annihilated (there’s always panto); the LibDems getting beaten by a man dressed as a penguin in Edinburgh; Ed Miliband getting egged by a man who really does have egg on his hands; Ed Miliband (gain) being photographed with a bong; and that divisive dictatorial miserabilist Ken Livingstone finally being able to concetrate on his media career…

1. He chats briefly with Cook in the kitchen. She has smokes and booze.
“Hours later, after midnight, she was about to leave when Barack Obama approached and asked her to wait. They plopped down on an orange beanbag chair at the end of the hall, and this time the conversation clicked.”
He noticed her accent. Australian…
Did he read this?

Obama smokes a dose of marijuana at his creepy Nerd Prom
TO the Nerd Prom, when Capitol Hill’s finest take the rise out of President Obama at the annual Washington Correspondents’ dinner. Obama harped on about Mitt Romney, his likely opponent in the Presidential election:
“It’s great to be here this evening in the vast, magnificent Hilton ballroom. Or as Mitt Romney would call it, a little fixersupper.”
It’s hideous exercise in sucking up. As Obama said:
“I have the nuclear codes. Why am I telling knock-knock jokes to Kim Kardashian?”

Insult of the Day: North Korea says South Korean President Lee Myung-bak has 2MB of knowledge
INSULT of the Day: North Korea’s official media says South Korean President Lee Myung-bak is “human scum” and an “underwit with 2MB of knowledge”. As any fool knowl, in North Korea, they can now store up to a massive 8MM of knowledge in the country’s big computer…
Which reminds us: it’s time for ‘Where’s Kim Jong Un?’. Can you spot the baby-faced North Koren depost in these photos of his country enjoying jubilant times?

Only 18% of French are Nazis – France election shocker!
QUELLE surprise in France where only 18% are rabid Nazis. In the race for the French Presidency, 18.12 per cent of French voters opted for the National Front in the first round of the presidential elections.
When the Germans last collaborated closely with France for a united Europe, the figure was as high as 50%. Some work to go, then, for Marine Le Pen as she seeks to free the country from the yoke of EU imperialism by selling Spain and Greece to China in a 2-4-1 deal and taking out an option on Belgium.

One more reason not to vote for Ken Livingstone
KEN Livingstone is a divisive operator who espouses illiberal values. He want to be London mayor. He won’t get in. Labour voters should shun him. Why? Well:
“I think Ed represents genuine Labour values. That’s why I voted for him. I believe he will make a real change if we win.” - Ken Livingstone, April 17, 2012
“I could go to him when I was Mayor and meet him one on one, not surrounded by civil servants and that is how we got Crossrail. My preference is Balls because whoever we select might be Prime Minister next year and, of all of the candidates, he is most ready.” – Kevin Livingstone quoted on the website supporting Ed Balls’ campaign to lead the Labour Party

The BNP candidate and the Liverpool pigeon shed
POLITICS Story of the Day features Mike Whitby, the British National Party’s candidate for Liverpool mayor. The Liverpool Echo reports that Whitney is eligible to stand for elected office because he rent a “redundant pigeon shed” in the city.
When is a pigeon shed no longer a pigeon shed? And what does local mean? Whitby is said to be standing on the motto “local people first”. Only, he lives in North Wales. On May 3 he will stand for election to Wrexham council.

Rich Government minister Caroline Spelman wants to keep a secret – sack her now
JONATHAN Spelman, 17, is the son of Meriden MP and Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman. The Rugby Football Union has banned Jonny Spelman from playing rugby until October 19 2013. You see, he took illegal drugs - anabolic steroids and a growth hormone.
He cheated. Spelman has played for England’s youth team at under 16 level. His story is in the public interest. But his wealthy mum – a government minister – didn’t want you know about it. The woman – part of a Government that thinks it’s fine for the police to read your emails without a warrant – wants her son’s misdeeds to remain secret.

Sweden’s Cultural Minister eats the ‘Nigger’ Cake – photos
SWEDEN’S minister of culture Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth tucked into a huge cake of a stereotypical arcane version of a naked black woman at a tax funded party. Sources say the party got underway when the Minister of Culture performed a clitoridectomy on the cake. As for the cake, is the head beneath that boot polish white or black?
Update: the head belongs to artist Makode Aj Linde. He’s a black man.
So. It’s racist, right? Or at least misogynistic..?

Barack Obama warns of war in the Maldives
BARACK Obama has renamed the Malvinas “the Maldives.” In attempting to suck up to Latin America at the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia, Obama called the Falkland Islands The Maldives.
The Daily Telegraph calls this an “uncharacteristic error”. This is Obama who talked of the 57 states of the USA, said Austrians speak Austrian and mistook a window for a door?
Says our man in the Falklands: “We shall fight them on the sunbeds! We shall never surrender our cocktails!”
