World Ends October 21, 2011: 200 Million Chinese Can’t Be Wrong

AS Anorak told you, the world will end on October 21, 2011. The web is full of news that Harold Camping was wrong. He was not. He said the rapture would occur on May 21, 2011, and five months later the rest of us would die. On May 21, 200 million people vanished from the Earth. Camping was right!

We have photos to prove this.

Ryan Giggs Puts His Dongle Away: Imogen Thomas Delighted (Great Photo)

RYAN Giggs is today more famous for his private life than for his football – and that is no easy thing to pull off when you consider that Giggs is the most decorated footballer in the history of English football.

Lawyers Sell New Magnificent-Injunctions: Ryan Giggs Offered Discount

SUPER-INJUNCTIONS are going cheap at your local law firm. Manchester United player Ryan Giggs is rumoured to be negotiating a two-for-one cash back offer on any future injunctions.

His last alleged super-injunction turned out to be faulty, lasting only a few weeks before breaking.

Which is why legal eagles ensure us that the new improved Magnificent–Injunction will last TWICE as long as the old super-injunction model and feature women with BIGGER tits and possibly an identical TWIN sister you can shag behind your wife’s back with impunity.

BBC Admits Detector Vans Never Used In Court: The Best Licence Fee Scare Videos

DID you know that the BBC has never – NEVER – used detector vans to prove to the courts that the accused has been watching the telly without a TV licence? Well, it is true. The TV Licensing blog has news:

The revealing Freedom of Information Act response came after the BBC u-turned on their earlier decision to withhold the information under the law enforcement exemptions of the 2000 Act.

In their revised response, issued after an internal review found in our favour, Beeb Kiwi lawyer Dan McGregor says the following:

“I can confirm that TVL has not, to date, used detection evidence in Court.

“You may be interested to understand why this is the situation. Under TVL’s current prosecution process the presentation of detection evidence in court is unnecessary. This is because TVL uses detection evidence when applying for search warrants. If, following service of the warrant an individual is found to be evading payment of the TV Licence, then the evidence obtained via the search warrant is used in court, not the detection evidence.

“It is worth noting that search warrants are only issued at the discretion of a magistrate (or sheriff in Scotland) in accordance with strict legal requirements. Detection evidence would be carefully considered by the magistrate (or sheriff in Scotland) during the warrant application process.”

“It does, of course, remain open to TVL to use detection evidence in court whenever it wishes in the future.”

Given the fact they haven’t used it so far, in the fifty-odd years the shit-scary (not) TV detector van has allegedly been in existence, it’s pretty unlikely they’ll be changing that habit.

Autonomous Mind wonders:

The question is, does the BBC refuse FOI requests by default?  After all, how could the BBC justify refusing that FOI request in the first place? How could they possibly determine their exemptions from the Act applied to this?

Prof Brian Cox And Peer Group Conformity Over Armageddon

EVER smiling pop particle physicist Prof Brian Cox writes a crisp piece in The Sun about baseless doomsday prophecies. He sweetly masks his guesswork with a certainty that the world won’t end this weekend despite the claims of an idiotic American ‘Christian’ radio broadcaster. He then moves onto rubbish the silly Mayan doomsday ‘prediction’ that the world is to expire in December 2012. No such prophecy exists in the source material but it suits him to use this to pursue his atheistic agenda by dwelling on obvious absurdities.

He quotes an unnamed “leading authority” that the 2012 myth is a “complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in.” Foxy Coxy then asks: “I wonder where we’ve seen that before?”

10 Things You Won’t Miss When The World Ends On May 21 2011

IT is May 21, 2011. Today is Judgement Day, the day Christians get to experience the rapture and ascend to the big spirit in the sky. This leaves you free to spend the next six months while the world boils and churns towards the great nothingness look after their pets, living rent free in their houses, bombing Switzerland and finally learning to play the banjo.

We’ve already seen the reasons why the end of the world is now. But you may care to spare thought for what you will not see in what remains of 2011, 2012 and beyond:

Plague Of Porn Mags And Sandwiches Rain Down On Kent

SEEKING signs of Harold Camping’s impending apocalypse when the world will end and the rapture arrives, we journey to Borough Green, Kent, where lorry drivers have been tossing their porn mags onto the Maidstone Road. No, not filing them and keeping them crisp-edged beneath the vinyl seat covers – actually throwing them away like there is no tomorrow.

Say a local:

“The pornos used to be quite a problem but then we didn’t see any for a while. It started up again a couple of months ago. Recently a lady crossed the road to put one in my skip, which I wasn’t angry about because I would much rather it was off the road.”

11 Reasons Why The World Ends On May 21 2011 – In Pictures

AS you know the world will end on May 21 2011. May 21 is Doomsday. The world is ending on Saturday. The world is, readers, ending tomorrow. We know this because we’ve been given a head’s up by one of the world’s top 100 leading fundamentalist amateur Christian mathematicians in America, none other than the great Harold Camping. (Religion’s gain is Countdown’s loss). So. While we while away the last moments cancelling the milk and setting fire to the EastEnders set, we bring you more irrefutable proof that the world is ending, presented by Miley Cyrus, Snooki, Oprah Winfrey, Pizza Cookies, Suri Cruise, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, Starbucks and Justin Bieber (and her)…

Nazi Lars Von Trier Earns Rave Reviews In Austria, Germany, Paraguay, Eltham And Switzerland

LARS Von Trier’s film Melancholia will be a big hit in the beer cellars of Austria, and a wow with the key Unrepentant Old Racist demographic in Switzerland, Germany, Paraguay, parts of Eltham, south east London, and Brazil.

Von Trier, a Dane, was sat alongside film star Kirsten Dunst while praising Hitler at the Cannes Film Festival and “joking” about being a Nazi. What he said was:

“I really wanted to be a Jew, and then I found out that I was really a Nazi, because, you know, my family was German. Which also gave me some pleasure. What can I say? I understand Hitler, but I think he did some wrong things, yes, absolutely. But I can see him sitting in his bunker in the end. He’s not what you would call a good guy, but I understand much about him, and I sympathize with him a little bit. But come on, I’m not for the Second World War, and I’m not against Jews… I am very much for Jews. No, not too much, because Israel is a pain in the ass. How can I get out of this sentence? OK, I’m a Nazi.”

Sexy Fred Goodwin’s Grubby Secret: Shagging On The Glass Ceiling

SIR Fred Goodwin, aka “Shagger”, has had to give up the fight and had his super injunction partially overturned.

It had been in place to prevent us calling him a banker and hide the fact that along with Adam Applegarth (former Northern Rock CEO who was, allegedly, shagging Amanda Smithson from the company’s buy-to-let division) Sir Fred was bumping the uglies with a woman on his senior staff instead of stopping the world’s worst banking melt down.

If you are going to shaft the country, what’s an old colleague for? After all, as every RBS financier knows and brags churlishly while chuckling over the RBS sponsored Rugby match after dinner port, they are women burnishing the glass ceiling with their backsides!

Stephen Lawrence Murder: The Racist ‘Lovable Rogues’ Face Justice: Corrupt Police Escape

FEW crimes have caused Anorak to feel a rage like that of the murder of Stephen Lawrence in 1993 in Eltham, south-east London. The murder is unsolved. But many have a good idea who did it. Gary Dobson, Neil Acourt, Jamie Acourt, Luke Knight and David Norris, were named as suspects.

In 1997, the Daily Mail produced a front-page headline naming the five as “MURDERERS”. But none of the five were convicted for the murder. None of the five went to trial in a public prosecution.

Was this because they were innocent? Maybe. Or was it because the police never did their job properly. Did people get away with murder because the victim was black, the accused men were white and the police were “institutionally racist”?

In 2006, Richard Stone, who worked on the inquiry that found the police to be racist, opined:

“Sir William [Macpherson] himself had said at the time of the inquiry that there was a definite smell of corruption around this murder investigation – what he described as the collective failure of the murder investigation. We were able to find enough evidence of institutional racism being a significant factor, but we had insufficient evidence produced to us about corruption.”

David Norris’s father, Clifford Norris, was a local gangster. The allegation made by Detective Constable Neil Putnam is that Detective Sergeant John Davidson was in his pay.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Secret Love Child Exposed: The Sperminator Explains

ARNOLD Schwarzenegger, now known as The Sperminator, has not only been shagging the help – he’s fathered a child by one worker (she’s called Mildred Patricia Baena – photos of her and a child) at his family home. The L.A. Times reports that the baby was born over ten years ago – before Arnie became a politico.

The mother had the baby and continued to work for the Family Arnie for ten years. She only retired from servicing Arnie in January. Mrs Arnie, Maria Shriver, thought the baby was fathered by the woman’s husban.

Imogen Thomas Slept With Star Footballer For Signed Shirt And Tickets? Fans Approve

IMOGEN Thomas and the Sun have failed in their bid to overturn the injunction protecting the name of the married footballer she claims she was shagging. She says the affair lasted six months. He says he met her three times.

Says she:

“Yet again my name and reputation have been trashed while the man I had a relationship with is able to hide. What’s more I can’t even defend myself because I have been gagged. If this is the way privacy injunctions are supposed to work there is something seriously wrong with the law.”

Osama Bin Laden Lies: Media Can’t Agree Distance Between Compound And Military Academy

OSAMA Bin Laden was killed 100 yards away from the Pakistan Military Academy in Abbottabad. Well, so says the Daily Mail.

Sheesh! Those US Navy Seals were daring, flying their copters into a house so close to armed personnel.

David Gardner has the facts:

The raid on the compound, which was just 100 yards from a Pakistani military academy…

The AP agrees.

Osama bin Laden was holed up in a two-story house 100 yards from a Pakistani military academy

Big Government agrees.
Or was it 200 yards, as this site says? And this one:

MADELEINE McCann: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Our Maddie – the innocent child who became a media commodity.

The Sunday Times (front page): “KATE McCANN: ‘I REELED. THEY THOUGHT I HAD KILLED MADELEINE’”

The child’s face peers out from the cover of the paper’s News Review – section 4 of the swollen paper.

“THEY SAID I KILLED HER”
