Of One Complaint. About A Man Prostituting Himself On The Box

Hi there everyone! Some of you out there might have seen PM Gordon Brown prostituting himself on ITV recently, shedding a tear about his baby daughter, who had died of a brain tumour some years ago. While I accept that losing a child is always a terrible tragedy, I don’t like unelected prime ministers using their personal grief to promote themselves. It was a disgraceful piece of New Labour propaganda, conjured up on prime time television to make viewers feel sorry for Mr Brown. And what was one of the biggest terrestrial commercial TV channels thinking when it gave free airtime to an incompetent buffoon who clings to power at any cost while the country is going down the drain? I tried to complain to ITV, using the email address given on its official website, about the unacceptable practice... 

And The International Taking The Piss Awards Of 2009 Go To…

It’s this time of year again when StirringTroubleInternationally gives out silver plated dildos to people and institutions that have left a distinct mark on the proceedings of the past year. So, without wasting any time, let me present the six winners of the International Taking The Piss Award of 2009, listed according to the number of votes they have received.The first winner of this year’s contest is the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee, for unanimously deciding to give the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 to US President Barack Obama, whose nomination was submitted 11 days after his inauguration ceremony in January 20. We, at StirringTroubleInternationally, voted overwhelmingly to include the Nobel Committee into the list of winners for 2009. Its decision to award the biggest peace...

1500 Articles Later: We Present The First Ever Piece Posted On Stirring Trouble

Now that we have amassed a wopping 1,500 articles on our website we decided that it would be a good idea to look back and see what was the first piece that had been posted on our website. Ever. And guess what: it turned out to be a humorous take on politicians. And we present it to you today because it concerns a man who is in the news now, tipped to become the first ever President of the European Union. Tony The Stud. Or Why It Is Always Good To Mock Politicians It has always amazed me how Tony Blair managed to avoid being mocked and ridiculed during his 10 years as Prime Minister. From the moment that ‘straight kind of guy’ got into 10 Downing Street in 1997 he did and said ridiculous things most of the time. Remember his take on Princess Di when she died in a car crash? Tony quickly... 

The Art Of Avoiding Looking Like An Idiot. As Described By My Butler George

My butler George sometimes comes up with very sound advice. Especially when he has a few. I once overheard him giving tips to a group of his friends, all men, whom he invited for a barbeque, on how to avoid looking like an idiot. And his words made sense. And I later asked him to repeat his advice and wrote it down.Today I present George’s tips to men to avoid looking like idiots. TipN1: Do not fall in love with yourself. Otherwise you would be looking like an idiot all the time. Everywhere you will go, people, especially women, will see that you are an idiot. Men, who fall in love with themselves, radiate that certain type of vibe that makes them look like total wankers. Most of the time. TipN2: Do not shout into your mobile, pretending not to realise that people can hear you. You know... 

The Art Of Drinking. As Described By My Butler George

My butler George sometimes goes out with the boys and has a good drink. Not often, though. And when he does, I do not say anything to him, as he holds his drink well. Very rarely does he get drunk, and even if he does, he never gets angry or resorts to violence. Sure, he becomes boisterous, as he calls it, and tells jokes, and remembers his past ‘glory days’. But he is always controlling himself, does not swear and remains a gentleman with the ladies.So what is George’s secret, you might be asking. How is it that he drinks and controls himself? And what sort of rules does he abide by while drinking? I have recently had a chat with George and he provided me with some tips that could come in handy for people who tend to overdo it with alcoholic beverages. And then suffer terribly... 

Some Fashion Tips. For Men Over 40. By My Butler George

Today, dear readers of Stirring Trouble Internationally, I would like to give the podium, so to speak, to my butler George, who is a great authority on fashion, having been dating models in his younger days and having been mixing with some designers, for some strange reasons that I have not been told about. George has a good sense of understanding of clothes and often gives sound advice to people, who tend to dress like clowns, lunatics or prostitutes, and then not understand why people around them do not treat them seriously. Today we present to you fourteen fashion tips for mature men, dictated to me by butler George. Although I have to say that some young men might be wise to read these tips carefully and remember them. TipN1: Never-ever wear a dark suit with brown or grey shoes. A dark... 

Lessons Of 2009: What We’ve Learnt Already

Well, my friends, although 2009 is not yet over we can already talk about certain lessons we have learnt this year. And it makes sense to know them, so as not to make more mistakes in the remaining months. So what did we learn in the 8 months of 2009? First of all, we have finally been reassured in our suspicions that our governments exist solely to protect the interests of the rich and powerful and that they, the governments, simply do not care about the rest of us. They just do not care. We may just as well all perish tomorrow, and they will not bat an eyelid. Not once. In Britain, France, the U.S., Russia, China and India and in many other countries the governments have proven in 2009 that they take no notice of the problems of ‘ordinary’ people, as they like to call us. They are... 

We Respond To A Comment About Kate Middleton

We have received several comments in response to our recent article about Kate Middleton, the current girlfriend of Prince William, What Is It About Kate Middleton That Makes The British Press Like Her?Before we make our point, we would like to present to you one of the comments, that we have posted under the article already. Many of the comments, by the way, were either too rude to be posted – both ways rude, to us and to Ms Middleton – and some made absolutely no sense at all. So here is the comment from Jana we chose to post: ‘I think it would be extremely helpful if you actually had all the facts straight before writing about Kate Middleton. For one, she works for her parents’ business Party Pieces, and she’s worked there since January 2008. For another thing,... 

Meeting Margaret Thatcher. And Some Thoughts About Britain And Russia Being Allies

I received quite a few comments from readers about a couple of articles I have written in the past about Britain and Russia being natural allies. I made the point that both nations – on the level of ordinary people, not politicians – have always held great respect for each other and that in the past they had stood together against common enemies, Nazi Germany being one, and defeated them, against all the odds. I also pointed out that there have always been groups of politicians, on both sides, that did everything to damage relations between the two countries. It happened on so many occasions that it would be absurd to claim, like some people do, that these constant breakdowns in communication and misunderstandings were the results of silly cock-ups. It is unfortunate, of course,...
