Libya officially recognises North London looters as new government of United Kingdom

Cameron: No longer relevant

The ‘Arab Spring’ claimed an unexpected scalp this week as violence and unrest spread to the streets of the English capital.

Dissatisfaction with the brutal Tory regime has been growing steadily of late and it appears the touch paper was finally lit when a local man was shot dead in mysterious circumstances in the Tottenham area on Saturday evening. Protestors took to the streets in response to news of the man’s death and things quickly descended into chaos when forces loyal to the regime were sent in to quell the situation. Rebels systematically set ablaze iconic symbols of the regime, including a local Carpetright store and a double-decker bus, before turning their attention to areas in which better shops were located.

After the initial violence had died down, a spokesperson for the London Metropolitan Police gave journalists a guided tour of the destruction, claiming that the unrest had been nothing more than the antisocial behaviour of thugs and looters. However, these claims could not be independently verified.

News of the protests has come as a shock to the rest of the civilised world and negotiations are now reportedly under way at NATO headquarters to initiate a comprehensive campaign of air strikes over the UK aimed at securing a no-fly zone, which, according to NATO, will allow the rebels to take on the regime on a ‘level playing field’. “It’s quite clear to see from the images on the news that Prime Minister Cameron’s leadership no longer has any legitimacy,” said French President Nicolas Sarkozy at a press conference in Paris, “we have seen literally minutes of footage showing hundreds of rebels expressing their desire for regime change, how much more evidence do we need before something is done? Action must be taken.”

In a bold move, Libya has officially recognized the North London rebels as the legitimate government of the United Kingdom. The North London diplomats have reportedly made themselves right at home in the British embassy in Tripoli, kitting the place out with brand new carpets, flatscreen televisions, and Bang and Olufsen sound systems in every room. In other news, Western governments have decided that social networking is no longer a positive tool that helps foster free speech and freedom of expression and is instead an instrument of pure evil created by the Devil himself.

Topless Ukraine activist grabs Euro Cup

(Reuters) - A Ukrainian women's rights activist stripped to the waist and seized the Euro-2012 soccer trophy while it was on public display in Kiev on Saturday in a protest against the forthcoming month-long championship.

 
The young woman, 23-year-old Yulia Kovpachik, is a member of the Kiev-based Femen women's rights group which believes the Euro-2012 soccer tournament being played in Ukraine next month will encourage sex tourism.
 
Kovpachik strode up to the silver, 60 centimeter (two feet) high trophy, which was on display as a tourist attraction in an open air exhibition in central Kiev, ostensibly to be photographed alongside it like hundreds of other sightseers.
 
But she then pulled down her red T-shirt to reveal the words "Fuck Euro 2012" scrawled on her torso. As she grabbed hold of the cup with both hands, she was seized by security guards, who appeared to have had advanced warning of the protest.
 
They covered her with a sheet and took her off to a waiting police car.
 
The protest appeared to be the first action in a campaign against the championship by Femen which regularly stages bare-breast protests in Ukraine - and sometimes beyond - to highlight what it sees as political injustice, social abuse and the exploitation of women in Ukraine.
 
Femen says Euro-2012, which Ukraine is co-hosting with Poland next month with the final in Kiev on July 1, will be a magnet for sex tourists - one of the group's main targets - and will feed a booming sex industry.
 
About one million foreign tourists are expected in Ukraine for the Euros.
 
Organisers said the 8 kg (17 lbs) Henri Delaunay cup was undamaged though Kovpachik appeared to topple back under its weight as security guards seized her. It was still on show in late evening.
 
Femen's spokeswoman, Anna Gutsol, said Kovpachik, who staged the protest on her 23rd birthday, was released after being told she would have to appear in court on Monday on a charge of hooliganism. The charge carries a maximum fine of 800 hryvnias ($100) and 15 days detention.
 
Conscious of Ukraine's growing reputation as a new destination for sex tourism, Euro-2012 organisers say they are taking steps to curb prostitution during the month-long tournament.
 
After Kovpachik's protest, Femen activist Olexandra Shevchenko told reporters: "We came here today to stop this Euro fan low-life from making a bordello out of Ukraine."
 
City authorities have mounted the trophy in a temporary exhibition area on Kiev's Independence Square.
 
Hundreds of sightseers were queuing up under the blazing sun for souvenir photographs alongside it when Kovpachik staged her demonstration.
 
Independence Square itself will be the centre of a huge 'fan-zone' during Euro-2012, capable of holding tens of thousands of football supporters.
