The organisers of the 2009 UN Conference to promote antisemitism have declared themselves delighted with the first day of the Geneva conference yesterday. The keynote speaker, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, "pushed all the right buttons", said a conference organiser. "To have the world's most famous Holocaust denier speak on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day? A masterstroke!"
The head of the UN Human Rights Council, the body responsible for the conference, also expressed pleasure at the outcome. "Listen, we've got Russia, China, Azerbaijan, you name it on this Council. Saudi Arabia, for Chrissakes. Filthy regimes, the lot of them. And the only country we ever criticise is you-know-who. So we had a lot to live up to."

Headline writers hit the jackpot yesterday with the news that senior counter-terrorism officer Bob Quick had inadvertently revealed details of a police investigation into terrorist suspects. The story gave newspapers the opportunity to use their two favourite words together, resulting in the gleefully assonant “Terror Blunder”.
"We were thrilled", said one editor "We experimented with “Copper comes a cropper” and “Gaffe at the Yard” but nothing was sounding right until we hit on “Terror Blunder”. It’s been a great day’s work."

Leaders of the world's largest economies have reached an agreement to tackle the global financial crisis. Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced the package of measures which follows representations made over the last two days and includes the creation of self governing communes across the world and the burning of bankers.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy said that the conclusions of the G20 summit were "more than we could have hoped for. Eat ze fucking rich," he added.
