Vince Cable Is Doing The Right Business!
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 […]

Three Cheers For ‘Brown The Bully’
Shock Horror! It is being implied that our prime minister, Gordon Brown, is a bully and has been intimidating his staff by his rants and physical abuse. An anti-bullying charity has stated it has received calls from No.10 personnel seeking comfort and advice about the upset they are suffering while at work. Predictably, No 10 […]

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?
