Journalistically, Trudie Styler's guest editing of last week's

 Bumper Edition (No. 978) was at best totally anti-climatic

 and at worst an almost non-event after the earlier all

 round criticism of her ill-fitted and useless role as guest

editor of The Big Issue England. Indeed, her role only

 underscored the depressing disparity between her wealth

and her high-ended properties against the poverty and

plight of the UK homeless on the streets of today's

Broken Down Britain.

...

Looking inside her Bumper Edition was artistically,

aesthetically, and graphically a disaster that was just

waiting to happen under her guest editorship. Page after

page is unseemly crammed and cluttered more often

 than not to the point of there being no breathing space

 for the reader to enjoy.

...

There was also no symmetry, no rhythm, and no rationale

 in the bumper edition's overall presentation, but instead a

 rather disjointed series of articles, images, and begging ads,

 that plagued the senses from "Letter to my younger self" by

the retired Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town Desmond

 Tutu to Zac Goldsmith's "We Are What We Eat" to Trudie

Styler's own Gary McKinnon extradition feature "Will He

 Ever Be Free" and then to the so-called rock-legend-turned-

photographer Bryan Adams' exclusive b+w photoshots

of some Big Issue vendors. Without being unkind in my

critical impression, all I can frankly say is the Bumper

Edition to me was tantamount to it being a bumpy one

or more specifically a 56-page "Bumpy Edition."

Whether or not we see future bumpy editions of

The Big Issue England under its new and regular

Glasgow-based editor Paul McNamee (shown in

the above caption picture) remains to be seen.

...

With that said, let's look abit deeper at some of the

articles and images presented in Trudie Styler's 2011

 "Bumpy Edition." Let's start with the Archbishop-

Emeritus. While the overthrow of Afrikaner Apartheid

maybe all well and good, but what we have now in its

place inside Tutu's and Mandela's South Africa is a brutal

daily dose of black savage street murders and open may-

hem and bloody violent crime that includes the killing in the

past decade of 600 South African Police Service (SAPS)

copz. As I read Desmond Tutu's "Letter" in the Bumpy

Edition, the more I was convinced he came over more

as a black politician rather than as an Anglican priest.

Of course, the cancer of socialism and liberalism inside

 the English Anglican Church has almost destroyed it

theologically and spiritually it seems to me from Tutu

to Rowan Douglas Williams, the present Archbishop

of Canterbury, along with the ultraliberal Episcopal

(Anglican) Church of the United States (ECUSA) under

its presiding bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori.  I must say,

too, that Archbishop Tutu's contribution to the Bumpy

Edition was as near to any mention of Christianity and/

or Anglicanism at this Christmastide in the secularist

and humanist magazine of The Big Issue England.

That and aside from Styler's impertinent reference

 to Desmond Tutu as "The Arch." No doubt she

 thought it was so cool ... But as an avowed Ang-

 lican, I did not! One other point, what has emerged

 in Petoria is a black politcal elite under the hideous Zud

Africa president Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma and at where

the black poor are being screwed by their own black

political leadership while the same poor produce more

and more unwanted babies with massive HIV/AIDS.

I have been to SA three times and each time I

feared being street robbed like I was in Joberg!! It's

called black-on-white crime!! So welcome to ZA.

...

Taking a look now at the "Exclusive photo shoots" of the

 portraits of Big Issue vendors by Bryan Adams, the so-called

rock-legend-turned-photographer, I cannot resist comment-

ing on his b+w images as an independent photographer my-

self of more than 35 years. His photoshots of Hazel

Howard, Peter Le Page, Simon Dennis and Chris Stanion,

 are so sterile and utterly clinical to say the least. It looks

 like he was photographing stone statues rather than living

people. He also photographed them bare-chested that makes

 the images look alot like police mugshots of the vendors, if

not otherwise looking like statues. And to designate one full

magazine page for each of the four vendors photographed,

along with an additional two-page spread, was a waste

of pages and space if you ask me. One last note, having

a camera or cameras, not matter how expensive, doesn't

make you a great or rare photographer. Please, note

that Byran Adams!!

...

As for Gary McKinnon, his frightful situation of possible

extradition to the USA boils down to odious Tony Blair

and his New Labour socialist gangsters who passed the

extradition treaty in favour of America over the legal

and civil  rights of the British citizen. No wonder

America recently conferred the Liberty Medal on Blair,

 who has helped to criminalize the white working class of

England with utter impunity and immunity for 13 terrible

years of Labour's tyrannical stranglehold over the UK.

Undoing what they've done will be almost nigh imposs-

ible after all their other radical rubbish of multicultura-

lism and multiracialism that has turned the UK upside-

down while the loony lefties go jumping for joy.

Extradition to the US is just a milder and less violent

form of the vicious rendition programs against citizens of

the world by America's own various secret and strong

arm government agencies led by the CIA and the

Department of Homeland Security.

...

As for Zac Goldsmith's article in the Bumpy Edition, I

read nothing new from him. So what's the news there?

Again, nothing!

...

As for Rachel Johnson offering to be a regular columnist

for the New Big Issue, that certainly is a needed boost and

asset for it. Although, I doubt her contribution will change

 what is looking more like a dying and driedout tabloid at

its every new weekly edition. As the recent ex-editor of the

rather anarchronistic and frozen publication of The Lady,

Rachel Johnson, as the sister of Boris Johnson the Mayor of

London, will provide a useful London contact for the new

shakers and the not-so-posh pushers behind the now

 Glasgow-based Big Issue England. Such is something akin

to having a Moscow publication based at far away Siberia.

London to Glasgow or Glasgow to London is almost equi-

valent, if not so geographically extreme as Mother Russia.

...

Then we come back to Paul McNamee, who was

named Scotland's Street Papers Editor of the

Year.  His name is not well-known to the wider public,

except among guild members of street newspapers like

International Network of Street Papers (INSP), which

happens to also be based in Glasgow and just a block

 or so away, I believe, from Paul McNamee. Online

there is a dreath of details about him and I cannot even

 find out his age or whether he is married or divorced or

 single or gay or whether he's ever been homeless himself

or if he's a native Scot or not. There's a Paul McNamee

 listed as a former Australian tennis great, but I assume he's

 not the same McNamee at the Big Issue editorial helm. All

I know is that as the new editor he will tow something of

the usual socialist or leftist line of old pigface Anthony John

Bird at least for now. Pity to be a copycat or "compass" of

the ilk of John Bird, who is now a has been, so hopefully Paul

McNamee will assign him to the dump as quickly as he can.

Oh and don't forget to quickly dump his scurvy brother

Peter-Bird-The-Prick, too!!

Some of My 2011 Xmas Giftz ...

...

And while mentioning the godless and greedy Bird

Brothers, they are the same vile pair who have now

purposely deprived me of two Big Issue Xmases

- last year's and this year's - at my 5-year London

pitch that was located at Cafe Nero on Long Acre

at the world famous Covent Garden. I will never for-

give or forget what scum Peter Bird and his pigface

brother John Bird have unjustly done to me.

...

As promised in last week's article "The Sting of the

Bad Star," I now list below at least 100 of my good

Big Issue customers that I can no longer receive their

 love and support at my pitch because of the Bastard

 Bird Brothers, who have been allowed for years to

be a law unto themselves. They're shysters - period:

...

Bronwyn Curry - Franco Beninni - Laurie Edmans, CBE.

Lady M - Agnes Bonnet - Fiona Sloss -  Brian Dunnigan

Shelia Aarons - Jackie McDowell - Anne Morrison

 Sylvia Champion Paul Martin Davies - Stephan Schultes,

Ph. D. - Tina Virdee - Peter Wyart - John Dykes

Steve & Christine Fox - Fiona & Archie Ballard

Phil Alfrey - Andy Howard - Edward Coates

Yvonne Wilkens - Nigel Millinson - Chris &

Dick Morgan - Joan Barker - Sophie McElligott

James Bradbury - Jan Mol - Madeline Hale - Tony Lewis

Steve Foley - Rev'd Roy Hensley - Jeremy Ford, IV.

Christine Baker - Ruth Anne Davies - Richard Offer

George Pennock - Jamie Gunning - Carine Smith

Cliff Barber - James & Angelia Higgins - Carole

Cable - Juliet & Megan Strachen -  Sharon &

Bill Till - Jean McCarthy - Andrew & Vivien Stern

Lisa Dearing - Jean Allen - Beattie Barfield - Beverly

 Brittan - Jemma Toynbee-Smith - Delores Santana

Jeannie McQuillian  - Nuno Sarmento - Alvin & Angel

Morley - Don & Sara Freeman - "Jock" MacGregor

 Sam Holly - Rev'd T. T. Walker, D.D. - Peter Roberts,

Ph.D. - Calvin Young - George Olds.

...

Many of the above also signed my online petiton to

 be re-instated as a Big Issue vendor of 5 years standing,

but the callous ignoramuses Peter & John Bird just

ignored the 1,600+ signature demanding the return of my

 Long Acre pitch. "Lawless are they who make their will

 their law," so goes the Bird Brothers of The Rotten

Big Issue. Shakespeare's dictum fits their lawlesness

and arrogrance to a T.  But the day on high will

catch up with them, rest assured ...

...

My satisfaction is knowing that many of my customers

(indeed, many who have became friends) no longer buy

The Big Issue or donate to The Big Issue Foundation.

Not that the Bird Brothers give a damn, they don't since

they have plenty of other suckers giving to them and

 via their Vauxhall phone banks. This Xmas I am pleased

that I am receiving gifts, one way or another, from some

 of my old customers who insist on still supporting me in

 their own special way toward me. God bless them and

 I thank them so much while I curse the Bird Brothers

every day and will do so until my life's end and as I

undergo needed heart surgery in the New Year, 2012. 

Dear Contessa Maria will arrange for my aftercare

should I survive my heart operation, if the Good Lord

be willing! In my grave I shall then also curse The

 Bad, Nasty & Evil John & Peter Bird ...

...

So at the conclusion of this two-part series on Trudie

Styler, her guest editorship, her Bumpy Edition, etc.,

 and the vile Bird Brothers of The Big Issue, I will

shortly be taking a much needed Christmas and New

Year break from my online activities and growing

blogz. In the meantime, remember DON'T BUY

THE BIG ISSUE, BUT PLEASE GIVE

TO THE VENDOR.

...

Get ready for a Blessed Xmas, Uncle Monty.

Muslim woman's body found in hospital morgue

covered with bacon.  By Lyndsay Moss.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/muslim-womans-body-found-in-hospital-morgue-covered-with-bacon-745706.html

("The £5,000 reward has been offered by Scotland Yard and the hospital.

The family is being represented by human rights solicitor Imran Khan."

But a 5,000 quid award for what? Only in crazy and diabolical PC

Britain would the copz even offer such money!! It's absolutely

crazy!! Talk about "the religion police" in places like Iran and

Saudi Arabia, well we in the UK seem now to have our very

 own, too!! And, could one of the Muslima's own family mem-

bers have planted the bacon rashes at the morgue? Wherever

there are Muslims there is always trouble brewing!! Truly, UM)
