Man responsible for failed Iraq intelligence is made MI6 boss  
Scarlett's been made our top spy,
Begging the question quite why?
I'd wager the deal
Was he wouldn't squeal
On who wrote the dossier lie.

Pope slams radical feminism 
The man they call 'His Holiness'
Says there's no way that he'd bless
The feminist cause,

He's the one wearing a dress!

Co-discoverer of DNA structure Francis Crick dies at 88 
The triumph of Watson & Crick's
Was DNA's double helix,
And now for all time
Their names are entwined
(Though one's spiralled down the abyss.)

Democrats cheer on their men at Convention 
Kerry just bores one to tears;
Edwards incessantly sneers...
But, really, whatever,
It's gotta be better
Than Bush for another four years.

England manager may lose job over affair 
Eriksson might have to pay
For bonking an FA PA...
And also because
His Eng-er-land squad
Can't (unlike him) score away.

Without any umph
When what we need's NBC suits!

Pharma firms tout virus 'vaccine' to prevent opiate addictions 
A drug aimed at kids (young as six)
Will stop future smack and crack kicks
By blocking the brain
With a new viral strain...
So drug cos. can sell some new fix.

It's certainly good news indeed;
Humanity soon may be freed
From one dread disease,
Though our pain won't ease
Until we've cured hatred and greed.

To once again be my right handie,"

He comes and we go...
Console him with some Euro-candy!"

Diana's ex-lover arrested for possession of Class A drug 
James Hewitt's gonna get done
For dabbling in drugs for his fun,

Government announces sweeping defence cuts 
Cuts in the nation's defence
Save Gordon quite a few pence,
And now Tony's play
To stick come what may
By George's side starts to make sense...

Blair remains defiant in Commons debate on Butler Report 
Tony looks withered and craggy,
His story increasingly shaggy,
But still he persists
In pounding his fists:
"I was right!" he shouts (...just like Maggie).

Blair blasts "liberal sixties" consensus on crime 
Blair says the Beat Generation's
To blame for corrupting the nation,
But maybe this tough line's
A bid to hide his crimes
Of peddling false allegations.

Libyan leader sets sights on Crystal Palace 
Some say they'll be most unhappy
If Palace is bought by Gaddafi,
But things could be worse:
Imagine if Spurs
Was sold to that Bin Laden chappie.

By-election results bring little comfort for main parties 
Labour has angered the voters;
Tories are seen as no-hopers;
Lib-Dems won Leicester
(Thanks to protesters),
But they're beardy-weirdies and dopers.

Griffin goads authorities to charge him following filming of racist rants 
BNP leader Nick Griffin,
Claims that the law is a chicken:
"If you prosecute me
I get airtime for free,"
...But also a bloody good kicking!

Butler Report blames procedural failures for Iraq WMD misinformation 
Lord Butler, in his report,
Found only process at fault:
"For one phoney claim,
"No man merits blame."

MPs recommend radical overhaul of honours system 
The titles the State bestows on us
Stop some from taking the honours,
Since not all are keen
On Empire and Queen,
Or scraping to patrons who con us.

Chancellor culls civil service in review of public spending 
Brown says his spending review
Doesn't mean tax rises too:
"I'll hasten the axe
For lax bureaucrats...
And, yes, Tony - that includes you!"

Saturday, July 10, 2004

Reports say ministers persuaded Blair not to quit last month 
Tony asked should he step down,
And colleagues said "Don't be a clown!",
But was their support
For fear at the thought
They'd be unemployed under Brown?

US Senate report blasts intelligence failures on Iraq 
Dubya on dubya-em-dee:

Were tellin' us lies...
So it was the CIA, see."

Thursday, July 08, 2004

UN to rule that Israel's West Bank barrier is illegal 
Israel's illegal fence
Might cut down terror attempts,
But UN vexation
At such annexation's
Scant help to Arabs in tents.

Controversial Muslim cleric, dubbed 'a moderate' by supporters, visits UK 
Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi
Backs a child suicide army
And wants all gays shot;
So I say he's not
Moderate... more bloody barmy!

Queen delivers 'tribute' to Diana at opening of memorial fountain 
The Queen says enough time's gone by
For her to feel mellow 'bout Di,
So why were her praises
All double-edged phrases
That equally could be deemed sly?

Monday, July 05, 2004

Peers reject outright ban on smacking 
Lords in their hordes refused backing
For plans to completely ban smacking,
But was the real reason
So they'd still have freedom
To see Madam Sin for a whacking?

Underdogs Greece win Euro 2004 final against host nation Portugal

Like, really, we did in the quarters.

Russian Maria Sharapova:
Sleek Centre Court supernova,

And plays like a dream...
Move over Miss Kournikova!

Marlon Brando bows out at 80 
Acting don Brando is dead
But he wouldn't get out of bed
For less than ten mil,
So when he got ill
No one could pay him respect.

Muslim groups say rise in searches proves police prejudice 
Some say the police name's birsmirched
Because there are more Muslims searched,
Yet would those complaining
Want terrorists reigning,
When then they'd more likely be birched?

And Bush is a bleeder...
Now who's gonna unlock this chain?"
