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 […]
It’s So ‘Transparent’ They Think We Can’t See Through It!
With what has turned out to be rather bizarre timing, the government announced on Tuesday, their plans for a broadband tax on phone lines in the UK, to guarantee all of us are able to surf the internet at the highest possible speeds. Today, the Commons authorities have published over a million documents on the […]
You’re All Just Jealous!
If you’re looking for an example of just how contemptuous some MPs still are after being caught milking the expenses system, you do not have to look further than Conservative MP, Anthony Steen. He was revealed in the recent Telegraph revelations for letting his daughter live rent free in the London flat used to claim […]
BNP? – One Lump Or Two?
There’s been much ado in today’s press about a guest attending one of the Queen’s annual garden parties to be held in June. Nick Griffin is the leader of the British National Party (BNP) and is being taken to the event as the guest of a BMP member of the London Assembly. London’s mayor, Boris […]
Doctor Drills Into Boy’s Brain Using A DeWalt!
It would be very easy to bore the bum off you with another story of greed and deception in Parliament, but to be honest there are only so many expletives one can use to describe those greedy, arrogant shits. Tonight then I am going to give you the night off and focus on someone who […]
Extradition To US Without Evidence – Time For Change!
Yesterday, I was sent a request to sign a petition on behalf of a husband and wife living in Scotland, to stop their extradition to the USA. Their names are Brian and Kerry-Ann Howes and they have four children. Their ‘crime’ is to have supplied two chemicals – both of which are perfectly legal in […]
BBC On-Air Battle with a Labour Lord
Another day of revelations about MPs and their shameful and excessive expense claims. Opposition Leader, David Cameron, is claiming to be “appalled” at the stories and is insisting that members of his party, who have been named and shamed, must pay the money back or risk being expelled from his party. One of the most […]
Twitter – Long May It Last!
No-one can doubt that Twitter has been an unqualified success story. It came from no-where to being one of the most mentioned – and used – websites on the internet. Celebrities are not considered A-Listers unless they are known to be posting their (often vacant) thoughts, using less than 140 characters. Their popularity is judged […]
Communicating The Truth!
The best analysis of our present government has been made by a veteran civil servant who has said: "They have a strategy group and a communications group, but the truth is that the Government has no strategy and they do not communicate to each other, let alone to the general public." Let’s hope someone can […]
