Predictably, the Labour party have been well and truly trounced in the European and local elections; they have suffered the worst results in living memory. Predictably, the Conservatives have gained a massive power base and are looking good for when the country eventually goes to the polls in a general election. Sadly, apart from a […]

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 […]
PM Brown Takes Low Blow From Blears!
If the wheels on Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s bus have not yet fallen off, they are certainly wobbly to the point of collapse. Following yesterday’s rumour that Home Secretary Jacqui Smith is to leave his cabinet, Communities Secretary Hazel Blears, has now followed, using perfect showbiz timing (some might question what she ever did anyway). […]
MPs Expenses – One Even Suggests A Rise!
It’s five days since I last posted on here and despite North Korea setting off underground nuclear explosions, petrol prices rising again, paedophiles in Portugal and Peter and Katie still being apart, one story is still managing to cling onto the headlines after a staggering twenty plus days – MPs expenses! Even the media’s hysteria […]
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 […]
Speaker Of The Commons Quits!
Following yesterday’s witch hunt in the Commons, the Speaker, Michael Martin, has now announced he will be leaving his post on June 21st. It will be interesting to see, who will be put forward as his replacement, as it seems that very few politicians are able to ‘walk tall’ while still claiming a clear conscience. […]
Don’t Fall For The Blame Game!
“We all bear a heavy responsibility for the terrible damage to the reputation of this House. We must do everything we possibly can to regain the trust and confidence of the people.” These words by Michael Martin, Speaker of the House of Commons, were part of his ‘apology’ this afternoon to a packed Chamber of […]
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 […]
