Shetlanders launch Free Topiary on Facebook

Posted on July 31, 2011 | 13 Comments

You’ve got to hand it to the Shetlanders. Even before they knew the arrested alleged hacker was Jake Davis, they had set up Free Topiary on Facebook. Well, he’s one of their own even if he did manage to muck up the Serious Crime thingummyjig or whatever the Flying Squad is known as now.

Ach, computers. Nivver dae whit they’re telt, as one Mid Yell fella said to me tonight.

Now everyone knows it was Fox’s brother Jake, the quiet lad from Sunnyside, that got his collar felt by the Met, they have gone cock-a-hoop. Not thon lad wha wis kicked outta the school? Plenty had suspicions although many were wrong. Some came close but no, it’s not Ben Davies.

Phew, Ben. That’s why they were calling you Lottery. It Could Be You. No more though. Poor Jake’s the man.

Why did Boris Johnson defend corrupt Met Commissioner?

Posted on July 17, 2011 | 5 Comments

Something smells in London. I couldn’t believe it when Mayor Boris Johnson seemed to say on TV that Met Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson resigned because there were so many distractions to him doing a good job.
No. Sir Paul resigned because he was exposed as corrupt having taken a £12,000 freebie and because he was trying to hide that he was very pally with ex-News of the World editor Neil Wallis, who he knew was directly connected to the donor. Simple.
Sir Paul has also been exposed as having tried to stop the Guardian investigating in 2009 while he himself was dining out with Murdoch people. Could it be that the Mayor is somehow involved in this too? I think even more high-up heads could roll.
It is a mystery how Acting Deputy Commissioner John Yates is still in place having virtually admitted he is useless and that he closed an inquiry without even examining the evidence. Still, it’s only 9pm.
This is going to lead directly to David Cameron.
