We have a habit in the UK of punishing the majority for the sins of the minority. The latest attempt to deprive us of choice comes from the British Medical Association (BMA) who are campaigning for a complete ban on all alcohol related advertising and to bring an end to the supermarket special offers and […]

BBC – Face To Race!
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Cameron Is A Complete Tw*t
If I ever had any doubts about the Opposition Leader, David Cameron’s ability to lead this country after the next general election, they were confirmed today. As a guest on a networked radio show he ‘inadvertantly’ used swear words and has since made a carefully crafted ‘apology’ Explaining why he does not use social networking […]
UK Policing -A Change For The Worse!
Last time I checked, we were living in a free society where the right to demonstrate was just that – a right. When it was peacefully carried out, it was unhindered by the police – intervention only came about after a public order offence was being, or likely to be committed. This disturbing video report […]
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 […]
