Windows 7 Spin Continues

Roy — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 14:10:54 +0000

// Every couple of months Softpedia regurgitates more figures to ‘prove’ that Windows 7 is the best ever operating system from Microsoft. We are told that the Windows XP user base is slipping away at a steady pace of 1% a month, down to 55%, whilst the nirvana that is Windows 7 has already captured Read the rest of this entry >>

Santander Own Goal On New ATMs

Roy — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 18:28:04 +0000

// As banks continue to squeeze the last pips from a poverty stricken public, news reaches me that the Spanish giant Santander (formerly Abbey) has launched a new type of ATM that will allegedly deliver an enhanced customer experience. At least that’s what branch staff told me through their rictus grins – I suspect they Read the rest of this entry >>

Illegal Immigrant Crimewave Redux

Roy — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 17:14:25 +0000

// Last April I wrote of the one man crime wave that is Hakim Benmakhlouf – an illegal immigrant from Algeria who was deported for a fourth time last July for stealing from London tourists – despite having earlier received a £3000 bribe from Labour’s misguided immigration policies to go away – and stay away.

Vince Cable Talks To Plants

Roy — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 18:17:57 +0000

I wonder what I would do without Vince ‘I saw the recession coming’ Cable – the one man blog filler. Until the election he was held in high esteem by some as an economic guru, a lovable garden gnome – Saint Vince indeed. But since the election he has morphed into a grumpy old man Read the rest of this entry >>

Spare A Penny For Heathrow Boss?

Roy — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 17:21:25 +0000

Colin Matthews, the beleaguered BAA boss responsible for Heathrow, says that he will not take his bonus this year – following the abject performance at dealing with a few inches of snow that has made Heathrow such a laughing stock around the world. Last year he trousered about £1.6 million. This year he will have Read the rest of this entry >>

Global Warming ‘Science’ Exposed Again

Roy — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 19:06:49 +0000

I sit here stiff as a board looking at the frozen UK landscape as we suffer a third year of ‘unexpected’ and ‘unseasonal’ snow – which begs the question of exactly which season global warming ‘scientists’ think snow will fall in if not Winter? I recall the Independent gushing in 2000 that snowfalls are just Read the rest of this entry >>

Should More Students Join The Lib Dems?

Roy — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 18:17:57 +0000

As Vince Cable self implodes and the Lib Dems descend into chaos following their rank betrayal of students, Craig Murray has an interesting view that encourages more students to join the Lib Dems now. They must already feel stupid, having helped Clegg gain power only to see his promises on tuition fees thrown back in Read the rest of this entry >>

Guardian Parrots Sicko Claim Of Wikileaks

Roy — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 19:19:11 +0000

The mainstream media (MSM) would have us believe their professional reporters fully research stories and verify the facts before publishing. It’s what supposedly separates them from bloggers like me who provide content for free. However whilst most bloggers do take the time and effort to verify a story before posting, certain parts of the MSM Read the rest of this entry >>

Football On Icy Ground

Roy — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 17:44:08 +0000

All but two Premier League matches have been postponed today due to ‘safety reasons’ – despite the fact that undersoil heating at PL grounds ensures that pitches are perfectly playable in the current weather conditions. These weasel words from a Liverpool spokesman are typical of the spin put out by clubs: ‘The safety of all Read the rest of this entry >>

Should Drugs Be Legalised?

Roy — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 19:16:52 +0000

Labour’s former Home Office Minister, Bob Ainsworth, wants the production and supply of drugs including cocaine to be officially regulated. The all too predictable response from both the Coalition and Ed Miliband is that such talk is highly irresponsible folly. Crime Prevention minister James Brokenshire parroted: “Drugs are harmful and ruin lives – legalisation is Read the rest of this entry >>
