New Shire Network News site is announced and a New Show!

edit Tom Paine, Brian of London and others 2009-03-09 09:48 UTC add comment  ·

We have unveiled our new site. These a bit of wet paint on the walls and a couple of bits of the woodwork need some varnish, but it's mostly ready.

There is also a new show up.

Detailed instructions on feeds and iTunes will follow. We're hoping that the iTunes feed will move silently in the background but that may take a little while longer.

Podcast is making some announcements

edit Tom Paine, Brian of London and others 2009-02-01 19:51 UTC 13 comments  ·

This is a short announcement show. The podcasting side of our host is shutting down any day and this show is primarily aimedat those of you who download the show automatically via iTunes.

We will be announcing our new web site and show feeds as soon as they are ready but in the meantime if you want to sign upto be notified, please send an email to listen @ shirenetworknews.net and we'll make sure you get a message about it.

And thank you all, once again, for your contributions and for your patience while we get up and running again.

This week's closing quote is from Menachem Begin:

I have written this book primarily for my own people, lest the Jew forget again--as he so disastrously forgot in the past--this simple truth: that there are things more precious than life, and more horrible than death.

But I have written this book also for Gentiles, lest they be unwilling to realise, or all too ready to overlook, the fact that out of blood and fire and tears and ashes a new specimen of human being was born, a specimen completely unknown to the world for over eighteen hundred years, "the Fighting Jew." That Jew, whom the world considered dead and buried never to rise again, has arisen. For he has learned that "simple truth" of life and death, and he will never again go down to the sides of the pit and vanish from the face of the earth.

 The Revolt  by Menachem Begin p. x i.

Podcast goes Back into Gaza

edit Tom Paine, Brian of London and others 2009-01-05 18:56 UTC 22 comments  ·  ·  ·  ·
The 2008 Weblog Awards

We're back and broadcasting Shire Network News again. This week we've put together a cracking show featuring old favorites and a special timely interview with former guest, Professor Barry Rubin, Director, Global Research in International Affairs (GLORIA) Center and Editor, Middle East Review of International Affairs (MERIA) Journal.

He is talking to us direct from Israel where he is only just outside Hamas rocket range. He's also got some very wise words for us all on not taking the media too seriously and the implications for the rest of the world of criticism of Israel's actions in trying to deal with the Hamas terrorist threat.

Please feel free to follow your host, Brian of London on Twitter. In Blog News we hear some Hamas terrorist biographies from Israellycool Dave's site. You should be following Dave's site for the best live blogging with his own brand of commentary.

We also hear Victor Davis Hanson's suggestions for how the Israelis could be a bit more "proportional" in their response.

It's been a long time but this much Gaza noise and the fact that it even invaded his cozy world of Second Life, has brought our old friend Laurence Simon out of retirement. You can find him on line at his site "This blog is full of crap" where you'll find links to his other work. Laurence mentions sending a pizza to the IDF which you can do from Pizza IDF.

Meryl Yourish is also, of course, right on top of this topic. Please visit her excellent and constantly updated blog.

We close with an extract from a particularly strong speech given by Winston Churchill. I urge you to read the whole thing. The Munich Agreement.

I will also re-iterate here: we are looking to raise money to make this show grow substantially. Please help us out if you can. We've provided years of top quality news, satire, humour and entertainment: you decide if that has been worth something to you. And to all who have donated all ready our very heartiest thanks!

If you would like to advertise on our show, please get in touch!

So with that, I commend this show to the house!

Podcast announces big changes

edit Tom Paine, Brian of London and others 2009-01-04 20:42 UTC 2 comments

Within 48 hours, a special Gaza episode of SNN will be available here.

It will feature commentary from some of our contributors and a special feature interview with Professor Barry Rubin,directorof the GLORIA (Global Research in International Affairs) Center in Herziliya, Israel.

As is often the case when major non-funny events occur, jokes may be a trifle thin on the ground, so Blog News may notbe quite as joky as normal.

 In other developments, just as we've decided to raise funds for a major revamp of the podcast, including amarketingcampaign, e-mail list, guest appearances on other people's podcasts and radio shows and a custom-designed website; thecompanywhich hosts the podcast, Blogmatrix, has announced it is closing down at the end of the month!

It's a real shame, because Blogmatrix have hosted SNN since it's inception more than three years ago, and they'vealways provided exemplary service. I'd like to thank David Jane, the CEO, for his assistance and advice over the years.

But this of course means SNN will have to look for another home, and quickly too.

Rest assured that we WILL be back by the end of January...er...somewhere. If the worst happens and Blogmatrix shutsdown before we have acquired a new home, we will announce our new site on Michell Malkin's Hot Air site. And Little GreenFootballsand Instapundit and Isreallycool and...well, anyone and everyone we can e-mail about it.

The money we're asking for is to help us improve the way SNN is presented on the web, make it easier to find us and tolistento the show, for you the listeners to interact with those of us who put the show together, and to get the word out to amuchwider audience about us.

So do consider making a contrubution if you have enjoyed SNN, every bit helps. We're going to try very hard to make 2009theyear  this podcast started making a bigger impact.

Then you can tell everyone you were a fan before the SNN people made it big, got arrogant, forgot their originalsupporters,started hanging out with a much more Hollywood crowd and began wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night.

If in two decade's time I'm found dead on a solid gold toilet seat on my private yacht, my head buried in a pile of coke on a hooker's lap, my white-jumpsuited body bloated from too many fast-food binges and three ex-wives demanding I sell six of my seven mansions to pay child support for my ever expanding brood of bastard kids and an E! Channel Special about my life entitled "Tom Paine" - When the Satire Died: Former SNN stars Tell All" then as far as I'm concerned it will have all been worth it.

Even the bit where Meryl looks at the camera and says "He sold us all out! It used to be about the politics man, but then came the drugs and the money and the holidays in Tahiti with Scarlett Johansen and Ann Hathaway. We couldn't handle it so we split. Never saw any money either. Bastard!"

Yeah, that would be sweeet....

Well shit, THAT didn't work, did it? Anyone know how to get a ChipIn widget to display properly? See why we need someprofessional help?

Podcast Looks Back at 2009

edit Tom Paine, Brian of London and others 2008-12-21 19:22 UTC 12 comments  ·  ·  ·

Yes your iTunes feed is not deceiving you! Shire Network News is back for one more show before Christmas. We've pulled out all the stops to bring you a whole new show with contributions from Shire Network News regulars, Meryl Yourish and Doug Payton. Both are looking back on what a fine year 2009 (yes Two Thousand and NINE) has been

In addition, Tom has been hard at work in the cutting room pulling together some of his favorite blog news items from over three years of material. I'm sure you'll agree that good satire never goes stale. Except for the story about the French rejecting the European Union. That story is so old we've had at least four more attempts by European  faceless minions to foist the sorry constitution on their various peoples since that rejection.

Tom is serious in the show, we are looking at putting on a major marketing effort in the new year and any donations you make (see the button to the right) will go toward expanding the show's audience. And not pay for Brian to be able to listen to live coverage of the numerous defeats of the England cricket team.

As ever, enjoy the show and see you all next year!

Podcast tells Bush forget it Marshal, it's only a tin star

edit Tom Paine, Brian of London and others 2008-11-26 19:02 UTC 56 comments  ·  ·  ·

Here it is, the long awaited, we're not sulking, back from the dead episode of Shire Network News.

This week its a round table discussion between Tom Paine, Brian of London, Meryl Yourish and Doug Payton.

We're looking for your feedback!

Podcast Wants You To Vote For John McCain

edit Tom Paine, Brian of London and others 2008-11-02 20:41 UTC 17 comments

This week the show simply asks American citizens for their vote, in this most crucial US election.

We'll hear direct appeals from the show's main interviewer, "Tom Paine", and contributors Meryl Yourish, Doug Payton and Evan Sayet.

Brian of London isn't here today, but he wants you all to know that even though he's as yet a non-citizen, he has some serious skin n this game, as he's just dropped a thousand pounds on McCain to win at 5-1.

Will McCain win?

He'd BETTER!

Podcast says Never Yield to the Apparently Overwhelming Might of the Enemy

edit Tom Paine, Brian of London and others 2008-10-27 19:33 UTC 6 comments  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·

This week Shire Network News struggles to remain upbeat and cheerful. We will not lose, we will not lose. This week's guest, Kathy Shaidle, has just released her new book (co-written with Peter Vere): "The Tyranny of Nice:  how Canada crushes freedom in the name of human rights -- and why it matters to Americans".

If you order the book from Mark Steyn's site, he'll even autograph it for you.

Kathy blogs at five feet of fury and speaks to us about the abuses of the Canadian Human Rights system.

This week the show features almost all of our more regular contributors:

Evan Sayet is on and keeping the tone optimistic. You can find details of his conservative comedy show at his web site.

Doug Payton is asking us to think carefully as usual.

Peter Glover  returns, soggy and enraged, from Wales.

Meryl Yourish is very happy not to have become a journalist.

Blog News this week has been replaced by a pep talk from our glorious leader. No, not him, the other one, Tom Paine.

Podcast Listens to An American Carol

edit Tom Paine, Brian of London and others 2008-10-15 13:03 UTC add comment  ·  ·  ·

In a world where truth has been inverted and nobody knows what is going on any more, Brian of London returns to Shire Network News to bring you the interview of the year.

This week Tom Pain, senior Shire Network News film critic speaks to the Director of probably this year's most universally panned movie (in the main stream media). Yes we speak to David Zucker, director of An American Carol. David speaks to us about the movie's initial reception and the process behind getting an overtly conservative movie out of Hollywood.

Meanwhile in our Blog News section we have, once again, sunk to the level of over covering the US Presidential Elections. Regular service will return moking Jihadis as soon as we can.

We first cover some of the overt attempts to rig the ballot and register new voters. For some reason no one is concentrating on rounding up unregistered Republicans. Take a look at HolyCoast.com for more details. Michelle Malkin is covering the less than public goings on as well.

Our final part of this story, covering the horrific attempt to disenfranchise imaginary-Americans comes from Iowahawk.

If, for some reason, you want to learn more about Cynthia McKinney's claim that the US government executed 5000 prisoners and dumped them in Louisiana's swamps under cover of Katrina: go ahead.

It is from Jim Treacher that we learn the left's reaction to McLame's claim that Obama is his "Opponent".

As ever, Evan Sayet is on hand and you can catch Evan Sayet's "Right to Laugh", an evening of conservative comedy every third Tuesday of the month at the World Famous Laugh Factory on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles.

 
Doug Payton is wondering why nobody is suggesting that we cut the spending instead of raising the taxes.

And if anyone can offer Brian of London the use of a RECORDING STUDIO when he visits Israel, these shows might come out on time and not be plagued with background noise when he finds himself trying to record a show on a park bench in the middle of the night, eventually giving up because the Damn Crickets were so loud.

Podcast Enjoys Fictional Explody Goodness

edit Tom Paine, Brian of London and others 2008-10-06 11:25 UTC 7 comments  ·  ·  ·

In this week's edition of Shire Network News, our guest is Australian writer John Birmingham, who has just published a book in which the Left gets it's oft-stated wish that the world wakes up one day and America is simply not there anymore. It's called "Without Warning", and we must warn prospective readers, it contains plenty of what  John Birmingham calls "explody goodness".

We hear disturbing evidence of the cult-like worship of the Dear Leader, Obama, patron Saint of Hopeful Change and helmsman of all our destinies, Slow Joe Biden does a passable impersonation of Grandpa Simpson and alerts us all to the real danger we're in from....er....corn syrup. So it looks like that long-awaited carpet bombing of Iowa is getting the green light from Washington on Inauguration Day then. That'll teach those Iowans not to dis Delware's most famous Senator on Caucus night.

 The BBC gets a caning from Muslim clerics for not bending over and saying "thank you sir, may I have another" enough, Muslims get to hold religious events on state property and the ACLU doesn't dare utter a sound, and the one-eyed nature of Saudi religiosity is finally revealed for all the world to see.

Meryl Yourish says Sarah Palin is making Democrats go a little funny in the head, and Evan Sayet is not surprised that the endorsement of Sarah Palin by the chair of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organisation of Women has apparently slipped down the memory hole as far as the media is concerned.

Doug Payton arises like Lazarus from a bed of pain to talk about political philosophy, but honestly it's way more interesting and relevants than that sounds.

Go and see "An American Carol" this week please, in fact we are hoping to be able to speak to the film's director, David Zucker, on the podcast next week. Oh, and if you're holding off on helping the McCain campaign because you figure he's "not conservative enough" for your personal tastes, how would you feel about four years of "The Jimmy Carter Presidency, Part Two - This Time He's Black, Not That It Makes The Slightest Difference To His Incompetence And Instinctive Desire to Appease the Enemy?

I lived through the 70's, trust me on this, you do NOT want a re-run of that. Besides, disco sucked hard enough the first time, and the thought of having to endure constant jihadi suicide attacks on our major domestic population centers while having nothing but Bee Gees tribute groups or KC and the Sunshine Band retrospectives to listen to on the radio is simply too much to bear.

Podcast explains Astroturfing For Fun and Profit

edit Tom Paine, Brian of London and others 2008-09-28 08:29 UTC 6 comments  ·  ·  ·  ·

This week's guest is Dr Rusty Shackleford, proprietor and founder of the My Pet Jawa Blog. Using just his computer and an internet connection he stumbled on what looks like a possible campaign scandal. His first post on this broke the story to the world.

Rusty explains to us exactly what astroturfing and sockpuppetry are and the steps he and his team of web sleuths went through to do the job the Main Stream Media won't do for you.

In Blog News this week we look into the British Identity card that seems to carry no sign of British identity. Eurabia here we come!

Weird Fatwa of the week is all about mouse extermination and it doesn't stop at real mice, oh no, cartoons are once again raising the ire of Muslims.

The Washington Post is not a reliable source for the McCain campaign to cite in campaign adverts. According to the Washington Post.

CAIR now believes we can blame the people who flew into buildings on 9-11 in addition to the United States. Thank you. And from Iraq, internal Al Qeda memos have surfaced in the hands of yet another dead Muslim terrorist.

Doug Payton joins us again with his top nine answers Ahmadinejad would give at a presidential debate.

Meryl Yourish gives us one of her best ever pieces (we're not biased) comparing the speech of Ahmadinejad at the UN with the speeches of Hitler. Hitler quotes are voiced by us (no we haven't discovered unknown recordings). This is powerful stuff. Zionist = Jew is the filthy trick he's using and the world, almost to a man, is buying it again.

Brian makes some reference to his postings on Israellycool. Stick that in your RSS reader.

Evan will return when he can.

Podcast Criticises 'Critical Terrorism Studies'

edit Tom Paine, Brian of London and others 2008-09-21 07:33 UTC 3 comments

In Shire Network News this week,we speak to Australian academic, Dr Mervyn Bendle, who has queried the appointment of a man who doesn't believe the West is better than the Jihadi terrorists, to a teaching position at the Australian Defence College. Needless to say, in the politicised world of modern intellectual life, it's the whistleblower who finds himself up on a charge.

We endorse a new candidate for the Presidency, although he bears a curious resemblance to one that's already running. His slogan? "Less community organising, more airlocking of Cylons".

Canadian Greens make a gaffe and then decide the best way to put out the fire is to hurl some petrol on it

We check the actual transcript of the interview Charles Gibson did with Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin and discover one or two discrepancies.

This just in - Obama says McCain is old! So old, he doesn't use e-mail! Yeah, well there's a pretty good reason for that, dumbass. You could ask the North Vietnamese what they know about it, or failing that you might want to spend a couple on minutes to, oh I don't know, USE GOOGLE TO FIND OUT MCCAIN WAS CRIPPLED DUE TO BEING TORTURED BY THE ENEMY! But maybe that's just too modern for the Obama campaign.

UK Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown is now so unpopular that he's become the target of a couple of those subtitled clips from "Downfall" that have become so popular on You Tube. We also play the new quiz craze that's sweeping Britain, "What the Bloody Hell Is John Prescott Trying Yo Say"?

Hollywood satirist and conservative activist Evan Sayet turns fashion critic, as he details just how many pairs of gloves Obama has taken off so far in this campaign.

And Our Man In Britain, Peter Glover, has a few choice words to say about Guardian columnist Johnathan Freedland, who warns America that the world will not allow you to vote against Obama, and if you do happen to elect John McCain, well....in that case...er....we'll pretty much treat you with the sort of lofty disdain we do already. Um, but you'll still protect us if the bad men come, right?

From the frozen tundra of the great white north we hail the welcome return of Canadian blogger Damian Penny, who gives us far more information than we ever wanted on Andrew Sullivan's private life, and some free advice for poor wee Andy, whose delicate spirits are being brutally crushed under the weight of reality.

Podcast will return

edit Tom Paine, Brian of London and others 2008-09-16 18:57 UTC 8 comments  ·

I'm sorry to report that this week's show has been cancelled because of Islam. Do not fear, it will return as soon as Islam ceases. Or when hell has frozen over. Or something.

We're not gone, its just real life intruding.

Thank you.

And keep up the good work in the comments. Especially the Nazis posting on the really old shows. We love reading your trash.

Podcast Produces Palinpalooza

edit Tom Paine, Brian of London and others 2008-09-10 10:14 UTC 24 comments  ·  ·  ·  ·

 It's all-Palin, all the time here on Shire Network News this week, as the race suddenly gets flipped and Republicans look like winners. Naturally, we mock our chums in the Democratic Party and the media (but we repeat ourselves).

There are scandals involving a British soldier being refused a hotel room, verbal inexactitude from Senator Obama which would have earned President Bush a scathing Moment of Zen from Jon Stewart, the Democratic Party has a message for all those women out there, and an Iraq war veteran has a message for Senator Obama.

Oh, and we have some rather disturbing love of nature.

The feature interview is with El Marco, whose photoblog, Looking At The Left is doing sterling work in exposing the reality of leftist protests. He used to be a Canadian hippie you know.

Meryl Yourish hearts Governor Sarah Palin. Doug Payton hearts Palin as well. And hey, what do you know, so does Evan Sayet! Is this a trend? Oh, support conservative comedy! Go see Evan's show in Los Angeles, third Tuesday of ever month. Right To Laugh. Be there or be somewhere else.

Brian of London is .... missing in action. His subtle guiding hand may have helped coax this show onto the interweb, but we know not where he is.

Podcast swept up in Uberobamamessiahrama

edit Tom Paine, Brian of London and others 2008-09-03 21:59 UTC 1  comment  ·  ·  ·  ·

For the second week, we are talking to David Horowitz of the David Horowitz Freedom Center. He talks to Tom about the direction the Democratic party is taking and how this is rooted in the politics of the 1960's. They discuss the take over of the College Campuses and the importance (or not) of Europe.

In blog news this week we have a bit of thing for Sarah Palin. Well you can hardly blame us can you? Have you seen how many guns she has?

Meryl Yourish has some excellent work about Sarah Palin. This post by Atlas is also rather good: RNC Lynch Mob. The Roslin/Airlock '08 campaign would look like this.

For the imposition of Ramadan on unwitting Dhimmis, look to the Daily Mail.

Also from the Daily Mail comes the despicable story of rape in Calais.

Evan Sayet chats with Tom Paine about Obama's Greek Odyssey and you can find out more about Evan's monthly show, Right to Laugh, at the website of the Laugh Factory.

Doug Payton is also making a welcome return. Check out his site.

Podcast goes Back to the USSR with David Horowitz

edit Tom Paine, Brian of London and others 2008-08-26 18:32 UTC 4 comments  ·  ·  ·

This week Shire Network News becomes the Shiresky Neit-Work Pravda podcast. We've gone over to the left and our guest this week is one time Marxist, David Horowitz from the David Horowitz Freedom Center. He talks to Tom about the direction the Democratic party is taking and how this is rooted in the politics of the 1960's.

In blog news this week we discuss whether the US Military or even the Taliban are human beings. This after a BBC reporter calls for us to acknowledge the humanity of the Taliban.

From Egypt comes news of an ad campaign to encourage women to enslave themseleves, sorry, cover up. And it's not worried about sun burn.

And I also mention the Olympic closing ceremony.

Look, if you're reading the show notes but you don't listen to the show, you're really missing something. Give it a try, download the file or click play up to the right of the screen.

Evan Sayet chats with Tom Paine about Obama's choice of Veep and you can find out more about Evan's monthly show, Right to Laugh, at the website of the Laugh Factory.

If you think that you, or someone you know, may be close to converting to left wing hysteria and voting for Obama, please introduce them to our show. It's not too late, almost anyone can be saved.

Podcast Goes to a Typical English University

edit Tom Paine, Brian of London and others 2008-08-19 18:55 UTC 1  comment  ·  ·  ·

Douglas Murray, the Director of the Centre for Social Cohesion think tank, joins us for a talk about the latest report from his think tank. It's a bombshell report on the attitudes of Muslim students in the UK.

It makes for exceptionally disturbing reading

Douglas Murray says many of the Muslim leaders in Britain who constantly complain about their faith being depicted as being at odds with the country's values seem to not be aware that it's often they themselves who go out of their way to give people precisely that impression.

Do go to the center's website and download the whole report in PDF format.

In Blog News we talk about the difference in style between Obama and McCain when answering questions like, does evil exist. Obama is not sure what to do about it. McCain knows.

More jihadis are caught and convicted in the UK. World Yawns. 

Your humble host, Brian of London, signed the petition to ask the UK government to bin the EU "treaty". This week Gordon Brown said no:

The Irish government has made it clear that they need time to analyse the result and its implications, and to consult widely at home and abroad.  At the European Council on 19/20 June, EU Heads of State and Government agreed with the Irish Government’s proposal that they should reflect on the result of the referendum and then submit a report to the European Council in October.  In the meantime the Council, including Ireland, has noted that the ratification processes are continuing in all of the other Member States.

We have our regular chat with Evan Sayet and you can find details of his now regular comedy show at the Laugh Factory.

Podcast helps Ibn Warraq Defend the West

edit Tom Paine, Brian of London and others 2008-08-12 18:01 UTC 1  comment  ·  ·  ·

For the second week, our guest is author and activist Ibn Warraq, who has been writing and speaking against Jihadi Islam for decades. His work on what the Koran really says, and what the core of Islam is really about is the kind of writing and thinking that Islam's phobia of self criticism makes impossible from within Islam. You can find Part 1 of his interview here.

He's the author of many books, such as Why I am Not A Muslim and editor of The Origins of the Koran, The Quest for the Historical Muhammad, What the Koran Really Says, and Leaving Islam.

His latest work is "Defending the West: A Critique of Edward Said's Orientalism".

You can also find regular articles by Ibn Warraq at the tremendous site, New English Review.

Our first story: Almighty Allah busted on drug charges can be found WTNH.com. There really wasn't too much point in re-writing that story, it was too good the way it was.

The Russians invaded Georgia. The Left blamed America. News? Or Israel.

The story from New Zealand of the vanishing polygamy and polyandry speech can be not found on the govt site here. Or found on another site where it has been carefully saved from Google Cache.

Ezra Levant's own site is a good source for news of his antics. The particular interview we play comes from John Oakley.

We speak, as ever, to Evan Sayet and you can find details of his now regular comedy show at the Laugh Factory.

This week we have part two of our interview with Anne Franklin of Clintons for McCain. She says they want Barack Obama to lose this election, in order to clear the way for Hillary Clinton next time. They're working overtime to defeat Obama in November.

In Blog News ths week take a look at the events arising from Obama's trip to the Middle East and Europe. If you want to see the little reported truth of who was on the stage before Obama in Berlin, take a look at Spiegel Online. I disucss the me me me of Obama's prayer. Oh dear. More on that at Atlas Shrugs.

The story of the United Church of Canada and its hosting of yet another loony left conference can be found on Kathy Shaidle's site.

Other stories covered include an advert in favor of Global Warming from Australia and the main stream media being in the tank for Obama.

This week we spoke to Evan Sayet about the now regular "Right to Laugh" event to be held at the Laugh Factory in LA. More details about that here.
