Yesterday’s speech, (full text here) by veteran politician Vince Cable, at the Liberal Democrat Conference in Liverpool, has been derided by many as being an attack on the very heart of British business, the banks and the basic freedoms of capitalism. ‘How dare he attack the very organisations he is supposed to be promoting in […]

If You Want A Job…Show Some Thigh!
While the Coalition Government is in full swing branding anyone receiving benefits as ‘work shy scroungers’ and blaming them, alone, for the massive hole in the country’s finances, it is worth recounting the advice a friend of mine was recently given. She is in her mid thirties, is long term unemployed and has brought up […]

Results from several studies of the sleeping habits of over 1.5m people, released by Sleep journal, show that those getting less than six hours sleep a night are at serious risk of a premature death.

The Man With Two Faces!

Katie Price Wedding Draws ‘Gasp’ Of Boredom!
According to the website of ITN, the latest wedding of Katie Price (aka Jordan) which took place in Las Vegas yesterday “drew gasps throughout the nation“. Really? The only thing close to a gasp that I could hear, was a collective yawn of boredom and the odd wheeze from an asthmatic. Somehow, I doubt there […]
Richard Madeley On Saddam And Blair!
If I was Tony Blair I would be seriously worried tonight. TV presenter, Richard Madeley, who is the ‘Dick’ of the legendary TV partnership of Richard and Judy has felt the need to make a short film for BBC’s Daily Politics show in defence of our previous prime minister. I am not sure which shocks […]
Blair And Iraq – All In One Picture!
Having spent today following the reports of Tony Blair’s historic grilling, yesterday, at the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq War, I was really not sure what impression I was left with. Then, I saw the above picture in The London Daily News and it seemed to sum it all up perfectly!!
