Policymakers at the Bank of England are to discuss a further injection of cash money into the economy, pushing back the prospect of a rise in interest rates from the all-time low of .5%
So far 200 billion has already been injected. This will be the second cash injection and is therefore known colloquially as QE 2, a reference to the process, quantitative easing.
Southerly, point five,
easing more slowly; money
shipping forecast.
Quantitatively,
QE2, big ship's really
a great big shit.

More Rowling in it x 3 04.07.2011.
Source: The Telegraph
JK Rowling, the Harry Potter author, in a 1997 interview said 'I remember getting a letter. I assumed it was a rejection letter but inside the envelope was a letter saying 'Thankyou. We would be pleased to receive the balance of your M/S on an exclusive basis.'
The letter came from Christopher Little, publishers who initially rejected the work as rubbish. Rowling has since defected from Little.
Mr Little is considering legal action but the new 'literary agent' is a lawyer. His name, ominously, is Blair.
Joanne, rolling in
it, dumps Christopher Little,
who spotted Potter.
Voldemort author
takes dark tone, sends talent scout
to deathly hallows.
Rowling turns Blodwynn
Bludd, Blair may turn out to be
Caratacus Burke.

Even more Rowling in it x 24th July, 2011
Source: The Times, The Independent.
Literary agent Christopher Little signed up an unknown author, Joanne K Rowling when she was poor with a six-figure deal. Now after 5 billion copies of the Potter books have been sold, and millions made on film and other spin-offs, the author has defected to a Mr.Blair, a lawyer who has gone into publishing.
Beware of lawyers
called Blair. Greed could undo rich,
pisspoor JKR.
The stuff of nightmares,
fairytales, Potter books. Rich
scribe betrays mentor.

Controversial reforms to the national curriculum tests for 11 year olds have headed off the threat of a teacher's boycott next year.
A government-appointed review panel recommended scrapping tests in creative writing (because it was felt that teachers drilled their pupils for them)
Instead teachers will assess creative writing throughout the year.
Creativity
is for life and not just for
Christmas, teachers told.

Salmon secrets revealed 24.06.2011.

As salmon mature, their scales absorb carbon isotopes, chemical signatures whose proportions vary according to what part of the sea the fish are feeding in. Every salmon then, has its own chemical 'tag.'
Scientists keep tabs
on each salmon... and this helps
them exactly how?

Apple's sinister technology haiku x 2 16th June, 2011
Source: The Times.
Apple have plans to build a system that will sense when a person is trying to film a live event (like billionaire DonaldTrump trashing the Balmeanie estate for example and sending in his thugs to intimidate the folk who live there???) Ostensibly, it's to stop people filming concerts, sports events etc., putting them out there for people to view without paying but they will of course be used to 'protect'' the illegal activities of, for example, the IDF when 'covering over' tracks of anyone who happens to have been able to film their assassinations, house demolitions etc on their mobile.
A patent application filed by Apple will use their own technology to switch off the mobile of a person who holds up their iphone to film an event...the device triggers infra-red sensors at events like Wimbledon, Olympics. Other features like texting and phoning will remain intact... obviously as it is Apple who spawned them.
Apple created
spyware. Now they've invented
spyware for spyware.

Trump trashes Scotland. 21.06.2011
Source: The Observer
Donald Trump, the self-aggrandizing billionaire whose name sounds like a cross between a cartoon character and an obscenity flew into Aberdeen ( the folks must ha'e been fair sickent) to announce that 'his' 18-hole golf course would be open next July. He 'bought' the Meanie estate and dunes, one of the very few SSSI's which had been untouched by human hand in 2005, bribing Aberdeenshire Council. Expect him to name the site after himself, then.
A cinema in Aberdeen, the Belmont, is extending its run of 'You've been Trumped' due to an amazing response to the film. In the film, Trump's paid intimidators harrass those who live on the estate .
Trump denounces their protests as a fraud and brushes aside conflicts with David and Moira Milne, coastguard station owners ( now having to live in a caravan) and Michael Forbes, whose land Trump has built on.
Trump trashes Scotland,
tells inhabitants that
they are trailer trash.
Trump's thugs make Clearance-
style clearance of Scots natives
and native Scotland.
