Radical religious group to go ahead with
Bible Burning Day.

Christians go about their business.

A Red Hot Read ?

A radical religious group, which incorporates Pagan, Buddhist & Zoroastrianism teachings into its religion, announced yesterday that in response to the arrival of the Pope in the UK, they were to burn hundreds of bibles in protest. The chief religious leader of the ‘God is Cult’ religious group, Kevin Spackman standing outside their temple in Dudley (Also known as Dudley sports centre, squash courts available to hire for Squash, children’s parties and religious ceremonies) said;” Christianity is responsible for so much of the world ills, with its inquisitions, crusades, child abuse and inspirations for terribly quaint BBC shows, that we wish to protest at the arrival of the Pope by burning bibles.

By carrying out this protest we hope to make people think about the Christian religion and maybe consider the God is Cult religion as an alternative”. Asked how many members his religion had Kevin said;’ Well 23 members but that’s 11 more than Jesus had and we don’t have a Judas!. He then whispered, ‘We are not too sure about Wayne though, we think he maybe only comes along to get the squash court after our meetings.’

Dudley church goer Mary Virginia

The Red Top religious correspondent went to the local Dudley Catholic church to find out the reaction to this offence to Christianity. We asked Mary Virginia a regular church goer what she thought about the Bible burning.

Mary said; ‘Well it is terrible isn’t it! I mean think of the environment it must increase their carbon footprint. I do hope they have got health and safety involved.”

Asked if she and the rest of the congregation would be out on the streets in protest she laughed. ‘Unlikely love I am baking cakes for the church fete and most of the rest of the congregation only come here to get their kids into the local schools. I might take along a nice pot of tea for them as the sports centre has a terrible cafeteria.

Is William Hague a Communist?

Red in the Bed ?

The internet is alive with rumours that William Hague is in fact a communist, with his membership of the Conservative party just a ‘Marriage of convenience’. Rumours started when he was seen wearing a red tie, carrying what looked like the Guardian newspaper, and commented that he spent the weekend shopping at Marx’s with his wife. Which many commentators thought was euphuism for Communist indoctrination session.

Mr Hague put out a strongly worded statement saying that he was happily married to Margaret Thatcher and had never shared a ideologically bed with communism, a way of life which he said was morally wrong.

Mega Bank Corp appoints Long John Silver as its head of Retail banking.

Today Mega Bank Corp announced that it had appointed Long John Silver as the new Chairman of its High Street banking division. Long John Silver had many successful years as head of Mega Investment Bank ‘High Seas’ division, where he successfully lead many a raiding party to enrich himself and Mega Investment bank.

Pirates of the Capitalism?

There was mixed reaction to the news. In the City of London a spokesmen for the banking sector said; "YESSSS in your faces little people. WE ARE BACK. Not only did we bring the economy to within 24hrs of running out of cash, create the biggest recession in 50 years, we got bailed out with huge amounts of cash by the tax payer.

Then manage to shift the blame to public sector workers and the feckless poor. And now have appointed Long John Silver into the retail side of the banking sector. This is a big two finger salute to you all, as we stand over you drinking champagne while you lie in the gutter as we piss all over you HA HA HA HA. Oh is that the time I have a board meeting see you all soon."

Vince 'Slaps bankers wrists. But not to hard'

Meanwhile at Westminster the business Secretary Vince Cable said. ‘This sends out all the wrong signals from the city about casino banking and they should be very careful about who they appoint.’

When asked if the government was doing he said. ‘Well we don’t tell banks who to appoint and frankly we need their help to raise money to fund government debt and they pay awfully well for tables at party conferences’

The New look for High Street Banking

The Red Top business correspondent managed to get an interview with Long John Silver. We asked him what changes he would bring to the High street banking sector.

Mr Silver replied; ‘Well first of all I will cut costs by getting rid of counter staff. Now this may cause longer queues, however I have a solution. Rows of slot machines, digital roulette and black jack machines all along the walls where people are queuing, so that way they can have a gamble while waiting for 2 hrs in the queue. It really is the introduction of casino banking.

IRAQ CANDID CAMERA

Iraq TV starts a new comedy TV show where top Iraqi celebrities get stopped at Iraq army checkpoints, only to discover that weapons have been secretly stashed in their vehicles. See the look on their faces as they are asked 'Where did they get the weapons from?' and 'are they working for Al Qaeda?' And the look of terror when they are told they are going to have to go and see the CIA. Then the look of relief as Iraqs own answer to Noel Edmonds leaps out from an armoured vehicle and tells them it’s all a prank.

Is this a real story or what ?

The host Nuh Laylat al-Qadr said ‘Well you have to look on the lighter side. I mean check points are a way of life here in Iraq and we thought it would be hilarious to catch our Iraqi celebs on the hop. We did look at doing something like Dirty Sanchez but after looking at it, we thought what a load of tame stunts that was made up of. And as for your ‘Balls of Steel’ comedy show, hah, try walking to the market in Fallujah for a loaf of bread, now THAT takes balls of steel.'

Scientists discover 89% of women who choose their men based on their dancing skills end up single 6 weeks later.

The University of Scunthorpe has carried out a yearlong study into what women look for in a man when he is dancing on the dance floor, have discovered that after less than six weeks of dating that man, they become single again. The head chief scientist Mr Ed Head said; ‘Well it was a bit of a shock to discover that a female picking her choice of partner based purely on his dancing skills didn’t lead to a long term relationship. I mean it works well with the Lesser Spotted Gullible bird on the Pacific Islands.

Your nest or mine ?

The Red Top science correspondent responded ‘Well it’s not really that surprising I mean a bird isn’t really a creature that has a highly developed brain which is capable of abstract thinking. A human female would have a more sophisticated selection process, like would the man cook, wash up and put the bins out on a Monday night’

Mr Ed Head said; ‘Err well to be honest I don’t date much, it’s all a mystery to me really.

CHILEAN MINERS COPYRIGHT

‘THE BIG BROTHER COLLAPSED MINE’

Chilean miners trapped in a mine in Copiapo, Chile, have today copyrighted the idea of a TV reality show where members of the public will be put down into a mine and then filmed for 3 months seeing them cope with problems like, falling rock faces and flooding. While members of the public watch their every move on TV, the twist is the public vote on the person they like the most to be rescued first.

Interviewed via the special phone line set up to the miners, The Red Top talked to the leader of the miners Pedro.

He said ‘We decided that we needed to cash in on our celebrity status, but we soon realised that within days of us being rescued the story will be dead and we will go back to the back breaking work in dangerous mines. So we thought a more long term way to make money would be to turn our predicament into a show. We can’t wait for the Celebrity Big Brother Mine’, we are already getting massive lists of names from the public for who they want in on that.’ El Gran Hermano se derrumbó MINA is expected on our screens in the New Year

THE RED TOP NEWS -Aug2010(2)

Long running series Extreme Makeover Home Edition: IRAQ ends.

The 7 year long edition of Extreme Makeover Home Edition: IRAQ has finally come to an end.

The team went into Iraq after hearing the tragic story of the Iraqi people. With stories of how they were repressed by an Evil dictator, while living in a terribly run down country.

The presenter of the program George W. Bush said ‘Well it’s one of the toughest Makeovers we have had to do. The country was in a terrible state, they didn’t have a single mobile phone provider, or a Mc Donald’s or Star Bucks.

The Makeover Team Head home. Mission accomplished

So we thought the best way to deal with the situation was to actually just gut the place. We demolished every thing really. Then we rebuilt it from scratch using the finest materials from the US of A. I think we leave Iraq in a better condition than we found it, there were tears in the people’s eyes as we pulled out with our equipment. It's mission accomplished.

Government to Sale off National Parks and Forests

New Forest to become New Look Forest

Mount Snowdon will become Mount Fujitsu

The Treasury has announced plans to sale off the countries National Parks and Forests. The Chancellor George Osborne said. It’s obvious to us, that only once in the private sector can the free market be unleashed in the country side. Allowing trees, wildlife such as deer, badgers, squirrels and song birds, to be much more entrepreneurial then they ever can be under state control.


He explained in greater detail how the privatisation would work. ‘ First of all to encourage buyers we will allow them to rename the parks and forests, so for example the New Forest will become New Look Forest, the Forest of Dean will become the Forest of McDonalds, the Lake district will become the District of the People's Republic of China Bank, mount Snowdon will become Mount Fujitsu.

Forest of Dean Protestor Lisa Baker

To make it more attractive to investors we will be introducing one more radical proposal. Every citizen within the boarders of the parks and forest will automatically become Serfs to the multi national that buys them. So for example the Bank of China could build lots of sweat shop factories in the Lake District with a ready supply of cheap tied labour. People may be concerned but remember these are grave time and radical proposals are needed.

Within an hour of the announcement a campaign was launched to save the forests. A Miss Lisa Baker from the Ewok community in the Forest of Dean said. ‘We are going to oppose this privatisation, and we will win. We Ewok’s are going nowhere, don’t they remember what we did to the last Evil Empire that tried to take over our forest!’

 
 

 

New A level grade to be introduced

A* to be replaced with A££££

Top Universities in the UK have complained that they are once again unable to identify high achieving students by their A level grades. Spokesmen for the Russell Group representing top universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, Kings College London and Staffordshire said.’ We are finding it harder and harder to distinguish between excellent students and great students, and interviewing is taking up a great deal of time.

 So we have suggested the introduction of the A££££ grade. This will show that the student went to a fee paying school to do their A levels, and so are the right sort to go to one of the great educational institutions. I mean it’s all well and good some oik getting 3 A*’s but they don’t have the right social skills or the network of like minded people. I mean they don’t even know what cutlery to use or which way to pass the port at social occasions. It will take months to teach them the basics.'

The A££££ grades of Eton

We also think maybe for some of the top public schools like Eton the A££££ grade will be awarded, while lesser public schools like for example, St Inbred and illegitimate child school in Inverness(Motto: Ex Site ex Mens) would get a A£ grade.


With the reduction in university funding some of these state school pupils must realise that the 'Dreaming Spires' are just that. So they should stop dreaming, and they should go and work in retailing and learn a trade. Social mobility no thank you, we are pulling up the draw bridge for our little darlings theres a recession you know!

New non emergency health number 111

to be introduced.

A new non emergency number 111 has been introduced to relieve pressure on the 999 number. It is designed for less urgent calls like prescription enquiries, minor sickness like broken arms, heart attacks etc.

The health secretary said. ‘Well it’s designed to reduce costs, by sowing enough confusion that for example, people who have had a critical fall will maybe ring 111. By the time they are connected to the correct 999 number they will probably be dead and that will save a fortune in A&E costs. We are expecting at least 36% of all emergency calls to go to the wrong number. Also the beauty is that in say 3 years, when people just get the hang of it we will change the number again.

Nick Clegg: Diary of a Deputy P.M. aged 43 1/2

Nick clegg has kindly kept a diary for The Red Top News, while he has been ‘Leading the Government’ when David Cameron was on holiday.

Monday:’ Well crikey who would have believed it a Liberal leader with his hands on the levers of power. Of course I do need to ring Dave on the Blackberry even if I think about pulling one. Anyway busy week to come, need to get prepared. First off need to polish Dave and George's shoes and make sure there is no dust in their office.

Tuesday: ‘Well I did my first ‘Meet Nick’ meeting, where the public get to talk to me directly face to face. Another Liberal initiative, I didn’t see Gordon Brown doing that sort of thing. It went well, even though I was called traitor and many people told me that they would never vote for a bunch of ‘Tory boot lickers’ again. Obviously they don’t see the big picture and we are suffering the blows for the cuts the coalition have to make. However it will pay dividends in the end.


Wednesday: ‘Well funny old day, George Osborne was due to give a speech about the budget cuts, but he rang to say he was feeling a bit unwell and so could I give it. Well I am always happy to help, so once again stood up and made the case. I think the Liberal party will be seen as a strong and decisive the more we talk about these things.

Thursday: ‘Took a odd phone call from someone who said they were a Liberal MP. Sounding a bit ‘Tired and emotional’ they said that I was ‘Ruining the party, you idiot. We are going to be slaughtered at the next election. (Sound of crying) Is this what we became Liberals for ? You stupid B*******, that’s it, I am off to join Labour, or to the off licence…HICK.’
He then put the phone down, still I expect being Deputy Prime Minister I will get lots of crank calls. But I know I have the full support of the party behind me.

Friday: ‘As I sat in my deputy PM’s office pondering a successful week. It’s a great feeling to know that a Liberal has for the first time in decades the ability to exercise real power. Anyway I am off to a meeting of civil servants to discuss the ‘Sick kiddies, disabled people, old people and other drains on national wealth’ paper. Which it seems is a Liberal initiative according to Dave. Oh must make sure I have ironed his shirts before he gets back.

Western Powers relaxed about

Iranian Nuclear Power Plant.

Iran's Bushehr Nuclear power station

 

A spokesman for MI6 said that western nations were unconcerned about the Iranian, Bushehr Nuclear power station. In a briefing in the Foreign office he went on to explain. ‘Well the main reason we are not concerned is that the power stations is built by the Russians. And lets face it, they don’t have a great track record. Chernobyl, need I say more.

 

We actually think it’s brilliant they are building it, the chances of something going wrong and an accident happening will be really high. (Starts to chuckle) I mean what caused the biggest loss of faith in the Soviet system for it’s people ? It was the accident at Chernobyl they couldn’t’ hide that from everyone. So we are expecting the same thing, one accident and the whole Islamic state will collapse. In fact the USA and the EU are saying to the Iranians; fill your boots build loads of them. With an accident we would not even need to invade, we could just build oil wells in the dead zone using robots or something.'

MOD ANNOUNCES SOLUTION TO DEFENCE CUTS.

NUKE AFGAHNISTAN

AFGHANAGADDON ?

Yesterday the top civil servant in the Ministry of Defence a Mr D R Strangelove announced that the MOD had come up with a solution to the spending cuts announced for the MOD which also included having to incorporate the £20bn cost of replacing the Trident nuclear deterrent.

In his announcement he said. ‘These are tough times and we looked at the figures. The Afghanistan operation is costing us around £2.5bn a year and we could be there for another 4 years or more. Then we looked at the cost of decommissioning some of the nuclear warheads from trident and they came to a few billion as well.

So we did some blue sky, out of the box thinking and decided that if we withdrew the troops that would save about £10bn over a few years, then we would nuke the whole of Afghanistan so saving a further £5bn or so on decommission the nuclear warheads. So everyone’s a winner, and let’s face it the defence secretary said that Afghanistan was a 13th century country so they won’t notice much.”



When asked by the Red Top defence correspondent. ‘Are you mad?’ Mr Strangelove replied. ‘No quite rational, I mean for my career it will be great, my bosses only look at the balance sheet never the human cost. I will look like the best cost cutter in the civil service. It will be promotion all the way.


It will also help me in my move to the private sector. I mean a manager there would balance their books by cutting staff and they are seen as pragmatic and get bonuses for that. I will be able to come and say I cut cost by nuking a nation. They will admire that sort of business acumen.’

US SENATE TO HOLD NEW HEARING

DID BP ASSASINATE PRESIDENT KENNEDY

Senator John Applepie chair of the US Senate’s foreign relations committee has announced new hearings into the actions of BP. He said; ‘We strongly believe there is evidence linking BP to the assassination of JFK, his brother, Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln.

We also believe they are responsible for the creation of slavery in the USA and they were behind the American civil war. We are also looking to see if BP was behind the Pearl Harbour attack in 1941. Oh and finally we are reopening the case of who shot JR Ewing, as he was a Dallas oilman it sounds a bit suspicious.’

The Red Top North American correspondent pointed out that JR Ewing was a fictional character. He was bundled out of the meeting for ‘Un-American activity’

Paul the Octopus arrested for involvement in Betting Scam

The world of football was in a state of shock today as Paul the Octopus, famous for his world cup football prediction, was arrested and charged with being part of a global betting scam run by various underworld organizations.

The head of Interpol Pierre Le Plod, said ‘It seems many games in the world cup were fixed by criminal gangs from South America, Eastern Europe and China working together. However they needed a method to transmit the fixed result to people in on the scam, who were scattered around the world without leaving a paper or electronic trail.

This is where Paul the Octopus came in, he was told who the winner was before the games was played and then pick the team from the box accordingly. I mean who has ever heard of an invertebrate having such a run of success in predictions.

Our suspicions were raised when the Dutch team who are masters of beautiful football played the final like a pub team, trying to get them selves sent off. It seems the referees were not in on the scam.

Asked why an Octopus was used Le Plod responded. ‘It was an ironic joke by the Mafia, the Italian Mafia is know as ‘La Piovra’ or ‘The Octopus’ because they have tentacles in some many places.’

The Red Top News - An Apology to the England Football team

An Apology to the England Football team

In last weeks The Red Top News, we described the England football team as a bunch of over paid, incompetent, lazy, gutless, morons. Who passed, shot and defended like a under 5’s team. Our campaign to have the ‘Talent less tossers, tossed into the Tower as Traitors’ campaign was a great success. (We would like to thank the 329,898 Red top readers who text to vote on the £3.10 per text premium number. You have done England and our profits proud)

We believed that the rot in English football had reached as far as the manager, the FA and the youth program. We also laid the blame at the Premiership which we thought was once the greatest league in the world, but now was just full of kick n rush English players surrounded by some good foreign players.

However after Germany’s destruction of the Argentinean team, we now realise that we were mistaken and England are a great team filled with talented individuals who just happened to come up against a highly organized, efficient, counter attacking, killing machine err I mean football machine.(Ed No more war cliche please we need to export to someone who has money) That no country in the world could match.

We would also like to point out that the Premiership is still the finest league in the world. Don’t forget you can watch the Premiership for only £39 a month on the Super Sports Channel. (Super Sports Channel is part of our parent media company MEGA NEWS CORP) (Ed note. Sorry Chairman of Mega News Corp we didn’t mean to damage the brand, we didn’t think it through.)

RED TOP NEWS World cup report

HOLY CRAP WE ARE NOT VERY GOOD AT FOOTBALL

The nation is stunned as it discovers it’s not only not very good at football, but actually quite awful. The Red Top went to Middle England Town to find out what people thought after the game. One face painted, flag wearing, slightly drunk England fan said. ‘I can’t believe it *hic*, we had a golden generation of football players, we were going to conqueror the world. But we only beat one country and that was the smallest nation in the cup.’

Joined by some of his friends he continued. ‘Our problem is our foreign manager who can't speak English, and not enough true English men playing, you know what I mean, *hic*’

The gathering group started singing En-ger-land and raising the arms in Nazi salutes. ‘The Germans have the right idea, pure Aryan race and all that’

When the Dave Balls our sports writer pointed out that Germany had players who ethnic origins were from ‘Tunisia, Turkey, Poland, Ghana and Brazil. There was total confusion amongst the drunken supporters who then proceeded to argue amongst themselves and then fight. Dave balls made a hasty retreat.

The G-20 Toronto Summit Declaration:

HOLY CRAP KARL MARX WAS RIGHT!

The group of top 20 leading and emerging nations met in Canada and today released their official summit statement.

‘After many meetings about the current world economic crises we were at a loss of what to do. Do we cut our government deficits ? Do we continue to try and stimulate growth ? Luckily however one of our members happened to pick up a copy of Mr Marx’s book ‘Capital’ while stuck in an airport departure lounge.

It’s dynamite. I mean all this time we were wondering how to ease the pain and come to a fair and equitable solution. However Mr Marx pointed out that global capitalism is a constant cycle of growth and crash. Over time the rate of profits fall for corporations and recession occurs, luckily the price of labour falls so the capitalist can reinvest and growth will return, so the cycle continues. It's a bit like Lion King.

So basically we conclude that we do nothing, let workers take the hit. Let’s embrace the double dip recession, let the creative forces of DEPRESSION BEGIN MUH HAHAHAHA.’

When the Red Top economics correspondent pointed out that Mr Marx concluded that crises in capitalism would get worse and worse, leading to workers taking over the means of production G20 spokesman went on to say.

‘Yeah right we had a right old chuckle about that bit. I mean have you seen the amount of security we threw around this conference. We aren’t going anywhere’

HOLY CRAP MUSIC FESTIVALS ARE JUST ABOUT MAKING MONEY

Shocked festivals goers have concluded that music festivals are not about shared musical, cultural and emotional experiences, but just a money making exercise. Not really that different from wondering around your local shopping Mall.

One festival goer Becky said:

‘I came here with some crazy idea about people gathering in a mass celebration of love and harmony.

But after the amount I paid for my ticket and then looking around all the corporate sponsored stands and buying the expensive refreshments. It felt like a normal Saturday wandering around my local shopping centre, but with no roof and slightly better music playing.
Still I got a tan which I wouldn’t have got in Top Shop or New Look’
 
 
 
Rev Jones: Thought for the day:

Reading today’s news I wondered to myself, ‘Has the penny dropped.’ However before it could drop, the banks took that penny and whizzed it around the world currency markets over a 24hr period and turned it into €348,888. Then they used the €348,888 trade as security to back $343bn worth of debt.
Now let us pray, very very hard.

Lions demand end to corporate sponsorship of England Football team.

Today Rory the Lion, spokesman for Lions Inc, has demanded the ending of the lion’s sponsorship of the England football team. As it is no longer advantageous to attach their brand to the team.

Mr Rory Lion said ‘For years we have enjoyed a synergies of beliefs and character which reflect well on both of our brands. However the 3 lions motif on the England shirt is frankly an embarrassment to Lions Inc. I mean, I have seen a 3 legged antelope put up a better fight than England did against Germany.

The Red Top is asking our readers what should replace the 3 lions. The best answers will receive a signed England shirt. What a prize!! And we have lots and lots to give away.

EARTHQUAKE REPORTED IN SCOTLAND

On Sunday June 27th 2010 seismologists reported a number of possible earthquakes registering around 7 on the Richter scale initially and then rising on the scale in the area of Scotland over a 2 hour period.

The chief seismologist of the UK said ‘Well we registered the first one at around 15:20 BST and then more for the next hour. The biggest quake was around 16:50BST where we registered 9 on the scale. It’s very unusual for aftershocks to be bigger than the initial quake. After further investigation we discovered it wasn’t an earthquake at all, but the entire nation of Scotland rolling around the floor laughing as they watched England v Germany.
