There are few things in life that generate as much pleasure as watching a bully being given a bloody nose. That’s how it felt last Friday as the final results came in from across the UK, following the local elections on Thursday. The ‘Tory knows best party’ which listens only to the views of their […]

To AV Or To AV Not?
With just two weeks to go until we all rush to the polling centres to express our wishes regarding who should be making local decisions and whether we should change the voting system, I am still none the wiser. For the local part, I don’t see a problem with the present ‘system’ as I have […]
Every Vote Sends A Message – Use The Power!
At last, the big day has arrived and the sun is shining – for the moment at least! From media reports last night, it looks like it will be a race to the end of polling before we can get a hint of a winner and even then, it might not be with a workable […]
Nosey Neighbours Speeding Us Along The Road To Communism!
As if things are not bad enough in our new Big Brother world, Kent police have started to issue some of its residents, in the larger towns, radar detection kits to check on the speed of passing motorists. If they are exceeding the limit, the speed flashes onto a large roadside sign and the vehicle’s […]
Politically Correct ‘Block’ Heads Remove Black As A Colour!
This should not take long to write…. The politically correct management of the Citizens’ Advice Bureau has decreed that spam emails should not be placed on a ‘blacklist’ but instead be placed on a ‘blocklist’. Can you spot the subtle difference? Clever isn’t it? A spokesperson said: Our approach to language is not prescriptive or […]
Baby P – Should The Gagging Order Have Been Lifted?
The case of the torture and death of Baby P, two years ago, is still shocking. The 17-month-old child had been abused over a period of months during which his back and ribs had been broken along with other horrific injuries. I still cannot bring myself to read all of the details. The fact the […]
Voting – An Exercise In Freedom!
Twenty years ago, this week, the demonstration for democracy and freedom of speech took place in Tiananmen Square in China. Few will forget the iconic picture of ‘tank man’ who stopped the military armour by refusing to move out of its way. It seems ironic that today, when we are supposed to be exercising our […]
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 […]
UK Is Slave Trade Destination.
One week after my post Heathrow Children Trafficked For Sex revealing children going missing into the slave trade from a children’s home in Hillingdon, Parliament’s Home Affairs committee has declared that the UK is fast becoming a destination of what amounts to a modern-day slave trade. The MP’s from all parties that make up the […]
Heathrow Children Trafficked For Sex!
Q. How do you lose 80 children in just over two years? A. Put them in a children’s home run by Hillingdon council. As incredible as it may seem, that is what has happened to many of the children – mainly of Chinese origin – who have arrived unaccompanied at Heathrow Airport. They are taken […]
