Simon Perry: Schemes, dreams & trivia

The head of OPEC has just been on the BBC World Service news, “Believe me, and I want to go on record with this, there is no reason why the price of oil is going up. There is no problem with supply and there is no problem with stock.”

The report went on to say that bankers were now betting on the price of oil, rather than shares.

Prediction: When this news gets out to he majority of the population, Islington is going to become a far less comfortable place. City bankers who are living in multi-million pound houses will become targets.

George Bush gets a few people giving him unexpected comments at his 4th July address.

“We believe in free speech in the USA,” Bush says as security pushes the woman away after she has the nerve of expressing her free speech.

As I mentioned, I was interviewed by Korean TV at the launch of the LG Secret. Well LG shot a short piece too, that’s now up online.

So for your delectation ….

Today on BBC Radio 4 asked the question that we’re all be asking - Why is oil so expensive at the moment?

Finally we got the true answer from Paul Stephen from Chatham House. His view - “The money managers have been pushing the prices up” - through speculation in paper barrels (def: A cargo of oil traded for short-term hedging or speculative purposes, but not usually physically delivered).

Not only did these globe-wide investment banker fuckers cause a downturn in the economy around the world by screwing up with the US sub-prime mortgages (driven by the greed), but they’ve managed to get the UK government to give us tax payers money to sure-up with businesses to cover the balls up …. BUT now they’re pissing on us by forcing up the price of oil, for their financial gain, at the detriment to the public. Scum.

When are they going to get pulled into line?

Rather obvious when you write it down, but refreshing to hear, by watching me on a mobvid recording.

Tasered for asking questions …

and the way Fox news deals with it …

I went along to the unveiling of the LG Secret a couple of week ago — it was the much anticipated global launch — and was interviewed for Korean TV, the Korean Broadcasting System, to be precise.

Among other questions about my thoughts on the mobile industry and the chances of success of the Secret, they were very keen for comments on what I thought of LG vs Samsung - surprising as I thought they’d have wanted to provide unity between the two, not increase rivalry.

If you watch skateboard videos, it all looks like you could just get up and do it with a little practice (at your braver times … and from the safety of your chair).

Watching this video will give you quite a different view.

The judiciary is one of the last bastions of protection of the general population when the government is out of control.

Reassuring that the High Court has decided that the UK Serious Fraud Office acted unlawfully after ending its investigations in to bribe allegations by BAE systems.

At the time it was reported that the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair had put pressure on the SFO to end the investigation.

What happens when the government body setup to investigate fraud, is itself found to be acting illegally?

This is crazy. Looks like the Knob Creek Gun Shoot is a must at some time.
