Michael Martin – still corrupt

The Sunday Timesa has a brilliantly detailed article about the Speaker of the House of Commons, Michael Martin here.
There is a dynastic quality to Martin’s Scottish political empire. Since 1979 he has been MP for Glasgow North East (formerly Springburn); his son, Paul, was elected to the equivalent seat in the same constituency in [...]

A backward step

Dizzy Thinks has just redesigned his blog.
I think the new design is just a bloody mess as he has done away with the simple clear and concise “modernist” look and replaced it with a heavy ‘in your face’ oldfashioned look.
Another problem is that the ‘comments’ is at the top of the post, surely one [...]

The left don’t just have bad policies, they are nasty as well

(Does that make them evil?)
The Guardian newspapers Comment Is Free have an article on former Prime Minister Margret Thatcher being given a state funneral when she dies.
A lot of the comments are quite frankly rather nasty and well, basically filled with hate. Why is it that the left are repulsive and disgusting in a way [...]

American Hypocrite

I don’t really blog much about american issues. After all, I’m not American and have never had any intention of ever living there, although like most places I guess it has both good and bad points.
One of these bad points would be the politicians.
Barak Obama is recently quoted as saying “We need to focus on [...]

Lefty Righty?

A lot of people tend not to fully understand what freedom is all about.
For example, some on the left are very socially free while being economically authoritarian and some on the right are economically free while being socially conservative.
But it seems to me that the socially free left don’t accept or undertand that being economically [...]

Homosexual – Police scandal

Cabalamat over at Amused Cynicism has a rather interesting post about how the Norfolk Police are treating one of their constables who doesn’t think that homosexuals should be given preferencial treatment here.
Whilst I agree with the thrust of Cabalamats argument that the Police should uphold British law irrespective of whatever any silly ’supreme being’ belief [...]

Unions go on strike

The local Authority unions have gone on strike.
Did anyone notice?
I didn’t and I bet most other people didn’t notice either, which would tend to indicate that this country has an over abundance of local authority workers whom the rest of us can do without as they are unnecessary.
If a private company pays excessive wages they [...]

Don’t wait till the truth about knife crime stabs your eyes out…

…may well be a long title but FFS, it’s no worse than the blatant idiotic stupidity of that pompous twat Jacqui Smith and labours policy wonks at the Home Office.
Let me explain. There has been a bit of a media frenzy about knife crime recently and then suddenly 5 people were stabbed in one day [...]

David Davis, he’s still authoritarian.

Now that the results of the Haltemprice and Howden by election are in lets look at the result. The turnout was down by 50% due to 9,000 students being away and rain but Davis share of the vote was only down by about 25%. That is a clear indication that people support his stand.
I must [...]

Bob Geldof writes in the Telegraph…

This is a brilliant bit of writing in support of David Davies and the by election today.
I have reproduced it in full because I think it’s so good.
Today’s by-election in Haltemprice and Howden is not normal. It is extraordinary.
The people there are not being asked to consider the competing policies of government and opposition. [...]

Gordon Brown is a liar

About nine million motorists will have to pay more road tax under reforms aimed at punishing gas-guzzling vehicles, the government has admitted.
Official estimates say vehicle excise duty will rise for 44% of vehicles made since 2001 – by up to £245 for the most polluting ones – but will fall for 18%.
So when Gordon Brown [...]
