The British don’t like anyone (or any party)

A FOURTH WAY?

The Independent did a poll in late April of 2000 citizens. The results show that the three parties and their leaders are in bad shape in the public eye. The ruling Conservative-Liberal Democratic Coalition’s popularity is dreadful. Only 27% like both the Conservative Party and its leader PM David Cameron. Liberal Democrats poll only 18% for the same questions. You’d think that Labour would benefit but the leader, Ed Miliband drags down the combined endorsement. Only 16% of the public like both Labour and Miliband.

Cameron is a failure on the economy and a BLiar lite war monger. Liberal Democrat Clegg jumped into bed with the Conservatives to become faux Deputy PM in the coalition government. People know who he is. Miliband is politically nondescript and opposed a robust investigation of BLiar’s illegal Iraq invasion.

 

Who will step forward and lead in this time of crisis?  An easy answer is – none of the above.

Hats off to Lulz Security for their ‘News of the Day’!!!

LULZ SEC SUN HACK – Fake Murdoch death notice

LONDON (Associated Press) – A group of internet hackers claims to have tampered with the website of Rupert Murdoch’s Sun newspaper.

Visitors to The Sun’s website late Monday were redirected to a page featuring a story saying Murdoch’s dead body had been found in his garden.

Lulz Security took responsibility via Twitter, calling it a successful part of “Murdoch Meltdown Monday.”

Lulz Security has previously claimed hacks on major entertainment companies, FBI partner organizations and the CIA.

============

In the fake death notice, there is a reference to the chemical element Palladium being found in Murdoch’s kitchen.  That may be a veiled and ironic reference to the poisonous role of Rebekah Brooks.  The name Palladium  derived from Pallas Athena.  If we see Brooks being the font of stupidity rather than wisdom, the ironic reference fits.  Of course, it could be a reference to car exhaust which has quite a bit of Palladium in it.  Murdoch media properties produce environmental pollution on a daily basis.

In any case, we have some clever and literate hackers.

Nice work Lulz Security!!!

BBC – “Gordon Brown ‘targeted’ by Sunday Times” Murdoch’s Last Pillar of Legitimacy Crumbles

The Times of London, Sunday Times, stands accused of tapping into former Labour Party Leader Gordon Brown’s private medical records. According to the story published today by BBC, Rebekah Brooks, chief executive of the Times parent, News International, called Brown in 2006 when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer and informed him that she knew Brown’s son was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Brooks was editor of the Sun at the time of the call. The Sun is a tabloid.  She went on to become editor of the News of the World, Murdoch’s 2.5 million circulation UK flagship.

“The Sunday Times is alleged to have illegally targeted the personal information of Gordon Brown when he was chancellor, the BBC has found.

“Documents and a phone recording suggest “blagging” was used to obtain private financial and property details.
