I think this satellite picture of our snow covered island is just amazing. It does more to explain the extent of our present condition than a thousand words in the media ever could!

Was Hoon Just The ‘Puppet’?
If you feel your life is a little bit cold at the moment, Geoff Hoon must be finding it positively Siberian. After yesterday’s failed attempt, with Patricia Hewitt, to stir up a leadership challenge in his party, he is now having to suffer the full scorn and ridicule of his colleagues. I have surprised myself […]
The ‘Coup’ Could Have Worked…Or Could It?
The BBC’s Political Editor, Nick Robinson, has claimed on tonight’s BBC News that six members of Gordon Brown’s cabinet WERE prepared to support a leadership challenge. Amongst those he named, were David Miliband, Jack Straw and Harriet Harman. All have subsequently claimed – some more convincingly than others – their support for Brown’s leadership. It […]
Two More ‘Idiots’ In Westminster Village
As if Gordon Brown is not looking battered enough, today he had to suffer another attempt at stirring up support to oust him as his party’s leader. This time, it came in the shape of a letter sent to his own MPs, penned by ex-ministers Patricia Hewitt and Geoff Hoon. The full text of the […]
Wootton Bassett Does Not Need Islam 4 UK
The previously little known web-based extremist group, Islam4UK, has managed to grab attention in the media by creating an outcry over its plans to hold a demonstration in the Wiltshire town of Wootton Bassett – the town whose people have lined the streets to honour the passing coffins of our military personnel returned from Afghanistan.

EU The Heck Is Catherine Ashton?
Mention the name Catherine Ashton and you could be forgiven for receiving a blank stare in response. From today, though, all that is likely to change, for she is not only a little known (outside of the political world) Baroness who had been working as the Trade Commissioner for the EU but she has just […]
The Sun Goes Down!
You could not make it up! The Sun has been forced to apologise for doing exactly what it criticised the prime minister of doing – misspelling the surname of Jacqui Janes. She is the mother of Grenadier Guardsman, Jamie Janes, who was killed in Afghanistan. She made GB’s hand written letter of condolence public last […]
Afghanistan – The History Of Failure.
We are not an occupying army,” Gordon Brown told the BBC on Friday. “It’s not like previous interventions…. We are actually creating the conditions by which the Afghans themselves, and not an occupying army, can run their own affairs.” The words above are quoted from an excellent article in today’s Independent by author James Fergusson. […]
Afghanistan- We Will Eventually Have To Talk (Pt 2)
I suggested it back in July, in my post Afghanistan – We Will Eventually Have To Talk! but now it seems our government is finally catching up with my common sense theory, that nothing will be resolved in Afghanistan unless we all start talking. They have asked the government of Hamid Karzai, the President of […]
Coincidence Of Child Deformities In Iraqi Town Of Falluja?
A baby born with two heads, many with multiple tumours and others with extensive damage to the central nervous system. It sounds like the kind of horror to be found in the plot of a science fiction film but is, in reality, what is happening in the Iraqi town of Falluja. The level of chronic […]
