Britney’s new ‘3′ video is outThis may be premature – their third single has only just had the video release and the single is shooting up the charts, but the Black Eyed Peas have announced the electro-tastic ‘Missing You’ as their fourth single. Here it is in all its glory. Amazing.

Caption Competition – A Christmas Carol SpecialI’m surprised that I haven’t seen this video before. I bet everyone reading this saw it about a year ago, but I thought I’d post it anyway. It made me chuckle.

George Bush tortures Angela Merkel
Won’t happen as she’s just starting her second term as chancellor but I wonder why the Poles love her so much. I bet if we included her name in a poll here her popularity percentage wouldn’t reach double figures.
Deutsche Presse – Warsaw – Some 28 per cent of Poles would back German Chancellor Angela Merkel for the European Union presidency, said a survey Friday in the daily Rzeczpospolita.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair got some 17 per cent of support among the Polish public, according to the telephone survey conducted by GfK Polonia. The newspaper didn’t indicate the size of the survey’s sample.
European Commission head Jose Manuel Barroso came third, with 15 per cent of the votes, while French President Nicolas Sarkozy received 7 per cent.
Under the terms of the Lisbon Treaty, the current six-month rotational system for the presidency of the European Council would be replaced with a permanent EU president.
I’m sure Blair will be happy with coming second (first out of those with a realistic chance) but I wonder if that’s because he’s allowed so many Polish families into Britain to get ‘better lives’, where many found that the grass wasn’t greener.

Poland wants Merkel as EU President
Yes, I know the title isn’t ‘President of Europe’ but we can call it that rather than the long, dull name nobody ever remembers.
It seems that the curse of Jonah Brown (copyright Guido Fawkes) has struck again. Only a matter of days after Brown announced his support for Tony, he has failed to get the backing of EU members. However, I’m sure he’ll get the backing of Merkel and Sarkozy and they’re the only people he needs, as the EU is the democracy of all democracies.
I spoke to my Dutch friend a few years ago and he stated that Balkenende was the butt of all jokes about his Harry Potter-esque appearance. I wonder how long into his Presidency (should he get it) until the media across Europe pick up. May I be the first to chortle.
Also, Tony hasn’t even stated he wants the job yet. Cardiff Blogger is however supporting Tony for the position. Britain is a very odd and temperamental EU member state and who’s better to look after it than one of our own? Go Tony!

Is Harry Potter about to become President of Europe?
Lembit Opik – (2) – Every comment he said slated the Conservatives. Even when it was about Jacqui Smith’s expenses he managed to slate Thatcher. The guy is terrified of the Conservatives, well either that or he absolutely despises them. It winds me up and no doubt winds everyone else up. Come out with your own policies, don’t just say how brilliant Uncle Vince is, stop being silly, you’re a grown man.
Elfyn Llwyd – (6) – Made some interesting comments but lost the crowd when he said he was convinced that 3 or 4 MP’s would be imprisoned. Don’t think anyone believed him and comments he made on other subjects seemed radical but sensible (if they’re not mutually exclusive).
Jacqui Smith – (3) - Jacqui had the chance to come across well and make the public sympathise with her like the odd few may have done with Nick Griffin last week. She also had the chance to appear like an idiot which I think she managed to dodge. At one point I tweeted that it was going to be ‘The Jacqui Smith Show’ like it was ‘The Nick Griffin Show’ last week. She was hounded as she has been over the last few months, rightly so some people would argue, but there’s a time when we’ve asked her all the questions and she’s given us all she’s going to give and that time is now.
Cheryl Gillan – (7) - It’s a double strike for the female Conservatives. Last week Warsi took the panel by storm and this time Gillan also did very well. Managed to deflect Lembit’s cheap shots and stood fully behind Jacqui on her cannabis stance. Whereas Lembit was poking fun at Jacqui, claiming she took cannabis, Gillan was fully supportive and praised Jacqui on her role in the reclassification. It’s always good to see politicians agreeing and standing by one another and not being childish.
John Sergeant – (7) - Hilarious. Made some very funny points, had excellent journalistic, relevant questions and thoroughly entertaining. I hope he’s invited back.
