Today’s big ‘storm in a media teacup’ is whether the BBC should invite a spokesperson for the British National Party (BNP) to sit on the panel of the political discussion programme Question Time. Of course they should. It is a no brainer! The BNP are mainly known for appearing to be a party with extreme […]

Falling In Love – With A Perfect Beauty!
Last Thursday, I fell in love. It was not with an attractive female and certainly not with a man – although I am not saying there is anything wrong with that (tokenistic PC gesture over!) It was not even with a racy looking car or any of the thousand things I constantly desire from the […]
Michael Jackson ‘Homicide’ – What The Coroner Found..
The much revered Michael Jackson, who died after suffering a cardiac arrest in June, had a cocktail of drugs in his body which included Midazolam, Diazepam, Lidocaine, Lorazepam and Ephredrine. The Los Angeles coroner has now announced the official cause of death as ‘homicide due to intoxication by anaesthetic‘ with the primary drugs responsible being […]
Enoch Powell Was Not A Racist……He Was A Prophet !
A Tory Member of the European Parliament, Daniel Hannan, has got himself into hot water with his peers – yet again. Two weeks ago he was severely criticised for describing the NHS as a “60 year mistake” – his Party Leader David Cameron publicly denounced his views as “eccentric”. Hannan’s latest ‘crime’ is to tell […]
Government Need Autumn Election – We Don’t!
While Gordon Brown spends his summer vacation in Scotland, possibly looking for a new job, and his ‘stand-ins’ try to make the headlines in the national press, it is time to start wondering how Labour is going to survive the next few years. Given the public’s disappointment over recent political events and our perception of […]
Lockerbie Bomber Leaves More Questions Than Conviction!
The only man convicted over the Lockerbie bombing 20 years ago, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, has, as expected, been released from his life sentence on compassionate grounds. Megrahi is said to be suffering from prostate cancer and is not expected to live for more than a few months. No one can deny the bombing […]
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 […]
Michael Jackson – Controversial To The End!
The King is dead – well the much celebrated ‘King of Pop’ anyway! In the unlikely event you have been hidden away in a cave and not heard the news, singer, dancer and musician, Michael Jackson, passed away during Thursday evening (UK time) from what is said to have been a heart attack. The media, […]
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 […]
The ‘Dud Missile’ Of An Iraq War Enquiry
Yesterday afternoon, our failing prime minister, Gordon Brown, finally announced what many have been demanding for years – an enquiry into the Iraq war. So far so good. The fully independent enquiry is to be held in secret, will not report until after the next general election and will not apportion any blame. Now that […]
