The other day I watched a rather poor film called Welcome To The Jungle, about two couples looking for Michael Clark Rockefeller who went missing in New Guinea in 1961 hoping to make some money out of it.

All the shots are as if taken by one of the four very annoying people, the film is slow and incredibly dull, the four main characters have zero redeeming qualities. Do yourselves a favour and avoid this film.

A few days ago I received another Phishing email which is reproduced below, mind you if people fool for it, then they themselves are dishonest as it relies on their greed and dishonesty to work,

11/5/2012

Hello Friend

I guess this letter may come to you as surprise since I had no previous correspondence with you.

I am the Chairman of the Electoral Commission Ghana (EC). I got your contact in my search for a reliable person to handle a very confidential transaction involving the transfer of the sum of $14.500.000 Dollars (Fourteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) the above fund is not connected with arms, drugs or money laundering. It is the product of an over invoiced contract awarded in 2008 by (EC) to a foreign company for the supply of electoral materials that were used for conducting the 2008 elections.

The contract has long been executed and payment of the actual contract amount has been made to the foreign contractor leaving the balance of $14.5 million which my colleagues and I now want to transfer out of Ghana into a reliable foreign account for our personal use.

As civil servants we are not allowed to run foreign accounts. Hence we have chosen to front and support you as the beneficiary to this funds. If you are interested in the proposal kindly get back to me by sending me your letter of acceptance along with your direct telephone and fax numbers, we have decided to share the money in the following percentage, 60% for us 30% for you the account owner and 10% for all local and international expenses that may arise in the course of this transaction. Further details about this transaction will be discussed in subsequent correspondence.

Note also that the particular nature of your business is irrelevant to this transaction and this transaction is expected to be concluded within 5 working days since all local contacts and arrangements are in place for a smooth and successful conclusion of this transaction.

Contact me via email with your contact telephone and fax numbers, so that I can call you for a discussion.

Thank you as I await your response.

Please contact me my private email:kwadwoafari@rediffmail.com

yours faithfully,
Dr.Kwadwo Afari-Gyan

They send them I will publish them.

 

Armed Forces Minister Claims Millage For Remeberance Service.

Incredibly and without any shame the Armed Forces Minister Nick Harvey made a claim for £7.20 in mileage expenses to cover 16 miles to attend a Remembrance Sunday parade.

No decent Member of Parliament would dream of putting in a claim to attend a Remembrance Parade, they should go to one out of a sense of duty to those who gave their all for our freedoms. The question is if he was not a Member of Parliament would he attend a Remembrance Day Parade?  If not why not and if so why should he want expenses to do the right thing.

This man is unfit to be the Armed Forces Minister and he should step down immediately, if he does not the Prime Minister has to sack him without a pay-off either. At the next general election the good peoples of the North Devon Constituency to remember his greed and vote him out.

Petition HM Government: E-BOOKS VAT ABOLITION

By Revin Kevin On Sunday, 06th May 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Petitions

Paper books are free from VAT despite their impact on the environment yet e-books carry 20% VAT.

Paper books are free from VAT despite their impact on the environment yet e-books carry 20% VAT. Paper books need oil based inks and glues, high energy use for paper production and printing, oil fuel for distribution and large land use for warehousing. At the end of their lives many find their way to landfill. E-books are far more environmentally friendly using a tiny fraction of the energy of a paper book for production, distribution and storage and at the end its life it is simply deleted.
A book should be defined by what it provides not the material that is used to produce it and the more environmentally friendly version should be encouraged and not discouraged by VAT.

Responsible department Her Majesty’s Treasury. deadline to sign: 05/08/2012 at 14:01, current signatures at time of going to press is 5,328.

As a very happy user of an Amazon Kindle I honestly believe that a books is a book whether it is an e-book, a paper based book or whatever material that may be used in the future.

Other e-book petitions to consider.

The other day I watched a delightful film called Tremors 4 The Legend Begins which is set around 100 years before the original Tremors film and in the same town, during the wild west days.

The giant worms known as Grapoids attack and eat some miners in the town’s silver mine, which cause most of the towns folk to leave, the remainder and the mine’s owner played by the same actor who played the gun nut in the original and is an ancestor of his decide to fight to save the town and mine.

The film like it’s predecessors is a comedy with plenty of laugh out loud moments and certainly worth seeing.

 

Did These Tax-Avoiding Civil Servants Tender A Tender

By Revin Kevin On Thursday, 03rd May 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Pain in the Bum

It seems that around two thousand senior civil servants are being paid off payroll to avoid paying income tax and are paying corporation tax instead.

It seems that around two thousand senior civil servants are being paid off payroll to avoid paying income tax and are paying corporation tax instead.

Since these people will not be employees but contractors then surely they will have to have put in a sealed tender before getting the contract, if not why not, the person or persons responsible for this should be immediately sacked.

This looks like shady practice and the HMRC must fully investigate every one of these people and get the tax back that has been cheated from the country.

Despite the country being broke thanks to the last government’s economic incompetence it seems that all 650 Members of Parliament will be entitled to free Apple iPads with some of the cost clawed back as they will have to hand in a laptop or desktop computer to get this expensive item.

I thought I would check some prices and the cheapest iPad I found on Amazon comes in at £315.95, whilst a higher spec Android tablet can be brought for £279.99.

In this time of austerity and cutbacks is it right for Members of Parliament to spend tax-payers money on vanity items like this?
