Your chance to win a bodybag signed by Saddam himself!

by Kieren McCarthy

In a world exclusive competition open only to readers of The Rockall Times, we offer you the once-in-a-lifetime chance to win a bodybag signed by the mother of all dictators himself, Saddam Hussein.

All you have to do is decide which of the stories below — all of which have appeared in the US and UK mainstream media in the past week — are real and which are Black Propaganda planted by security services to demonise Saddam and build Western public support for another round of rag-head arse-kicking.

Just select which examples you believe are Black Propaganda, hit the ‘Check my Score’ button and our state-of-the-art servers will instantly tell you how well you have done. Pick all of the correct answers without making a mistake and you will automatically be entered in a draw for the Saddam Hussein monogrammed bodybag.

Good luck!
