Much has been written this week about whether Peter (Lord) Mandelson has plans to take over from Gordon Brown to lead the Labour Party. It seems to me, to be a bit of a ridiculous proposition and the only question that should really be asked is why should he, or anyone else for that matter, […]

Poor Wee Scotland …. It’s truly Offal!!
Just when we English were thinking things were ‘at peace’ with our neighbours north of the border it seems we might be about to upset them again. After years of controversy over the ‘plundering’ of North Sea Oil and decades of arguing over self rule for the wet, windy, mountainous and I might add very […]
Buy One Get The Rest Free ….. In German Brothels!
Walk through any shopping centre in the UK and you will see discount offers a plenty, aimed at boosting trade for a range of struggling businesses. The German’s have gone one better and are offering customers of their brothels the chance to sleep with as many prostitutes as they want…. all for a one off […]
Cameron Is A Complete Tw*t
If I ever had any doubts about the Opposition Leader, David Cameron’s ability to lead this country after the next general election, they were confirmed today. As a guest on a networked radio show he ‘inadvertantly’ used swear words and has since made a carefully crafted ‘apology’ Explaining why he does not use social networking […]
Afghanistan – We Will Eventually Have To Talk!
My goodness, it has been three weeks since I last posted. I have been trying to think of a reasonable excuse for being so unreliable and have failed miserably. During my ‘downtime’, more of our troops have lost their lives in Afghanistan and two more have died today. Politicians of all parties have been making […]

The total number of UK military personnel killed in the conflict is now 176. The Defence Secretary justified our continued presence […]
Government – The Illogical Cost Of Logic!
The politicians are, once again, taking shots at each other over the spiralling cost of government and how they are going to reduce it. The Leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition, David Cameron, said yesterday he would cut back on the expensive and unelected quangos should his party win the next election. What is needed, though, […]
Michael Jackson – Controversial To The End!
The King is dead – well the much celebrated ‘King of Pop’ anyway! In the unlikely event you have been hidden away in a cave and not heard the news, singer, dancer and musician, Michael Jackson, passed away during Thursday evening (UK time) from what is said to have been a heart attack. The media, […]
UK Policing -A Change For The Worse!
Last time I checked, we were living in a free society where the right to demonstrate was just that – a right. When it was peacefully carried out, it was unhindered by the police – intervention only came about after a public order offence was being, or likely to be committed. This disturbing video report […]
PM Wants To Teach Not Lead!
Speaking in a peculiar but presumably honest interview in today’s Guardian, Gordon Brown has said he would like to go into teaching when he leaves office. He has also admitted to being a poor communicator and admits he has lacked the ability to forward plan because he has had to concentrate on dealing with real […]
