Hey hey Tony hey, how many kids have you killed today?

Sky News reports that Tony Blair has been pelted with eggs and shoes at his book-signing in Dublin today. The following video is worth a watch, if only to wind yourself up listening to arse-licking turncoat Shaun Woodward’s sycophantic drivel: Unfortunately, the missiles thrown after he had emerged from the back of a car surrounded by a [...]

It’s official! Our children are even cleverer than last year

Firstly, apologies for the paucity of posts lately. I’ve been away a while, and the back-up team seems to have gone AWOL as well. Anyway, I popped home today for lunch and caught the local BBC News. The piece I saw was the usual short clip about how more A levels have been passed at higher [...]

I received an email today from the excellent Sunlight Centre for Open Politics, an organisation dedicated to transparency in politics. The blog entry behind the email can be found here and the full email including a “donate” button can be found here. I’ve reproduced the email below, but I urge readers to go to the email [...]

Britain exploits the mentally challenged…

scrubber — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 13:00:54 +0000

So says the excellent Matthew Wright, presenter of Channel 5’s Wright Stuff of Britain’s Got Talent. I kind of agree with him too, wondering how on earth they manage to find so many deluded people to expose themselves in front of millions. Most of them are utterly talentless, and clearly suffering from various types of [...]

Zac Goldsmith: what a twat.

I’m in catch-up mode after a couple of weeks working away and quite over-whelmed with the sheer volume of crap falling around our ears worthy of a blog or two. This one stands out, and although a few days old, needs wide dissemination… We’re all well used to politicians not answering questions, their evasion tactics, obfuscation [...]

Coalition Government launches “Your Freedom” initiative.

Today, as has been widely reported in the MSM, Nick Clegg launched the Coalition Government’s “Your Freedom” initiative, where they are asking us to tell them what laws we want repealed, where the Government is snooping too much, strangling us in red tape, and so on. All to the good on the face of it. [...]

A steaming, confected, self-polishing jobbernowl.

So says the excellent Quentin Letts of our over-promoted, self-important and out-of-his-depth Squeaker John Bercow. I didn’t know what a jobbernowl was either, so I looked it up. Excellent! What a cracking choice of word. Quentin’s article was inspired by the Junior Health Minister Simon Burns’ behaviour in the House of Commons yesterday during Health Questions. It seems [...]

The economic consequences of Mr. Brown

My thanks to our blogging colleague Old Holborn for bringing our attention to the following youtube clip of a speech by Professor Stein Ringen, and thence, by extension, the rather longer version below it. The subject is a book by Professor Ringen called “The Economic Consequences of Mr Brown”: quite a subject… The good Professor is [...]

Scroungers on £42k a year benefits because they’re better off not working

Today’s instalment of why Britain is so totally screwed after 13 years of Labour administration is brought to us by thisismoney.co.uk. To summarise, Peter Davey and his wife Claire have seven children, with yet another one on the way, and have an ‘income’ of £815 per week (£42,500 pa) entirely in benefits. To [...]

Sport! Who needs it?

I hadn’t intended to write about football today, of all days. Frankly, I’d rather forget the appalling display I and about 20 million other people in the UK witnessed yesterday, but it’s hard to avoid. I’m really a rugby man, and I’d be quite happy to go back to reading the humourous texts flooding into [...]
