When was the last time you made the ‘mistake’ of forgetting you had paid off your mortgage? To most sane people it would sound ridiculous. Not so, apparently, to ex-Labour minister Elliot Morley, who has been exposed by the Telegraph as yet another greedy MP fleecing the public purse with his expenses. He has claimed […]

UK Is Slave Trade Destination.
One week after my post Heathrow Children Trafficked For Sex revealing children going missing into the slave trade from a children’s home in Hillingdon, Parliament’s Home Affairs committee has declared that the UK is fast becoming a destination of what amounts to a modern-day slave trade. The MP’s from all parties that make up the […]
BBC On-Air Battle with a Labour Lord
Another day of revelations about MPs and their shameful and excessive expense claims. Opposition Leader, David Cameron, is claiming to be “appalled” at the stories and is insisting that members of his party, who have been named and shamed, must pay the money back or risk being expelled from his party. One of the most […]
Heathrow Children Trafficked For Sex!
Q. How do you lose 80 children in just over two years? A. Put them in a children’s home run by Hillingdon council. As incredible as it may seem, that is what has happened to many of the children – mainly of Chinese origin – who have arrived unaccompanied at Heathrow Airport. They are taken […]
Beware The Ninjas Gordon!!
The Ninjas are busy ironing their best black pyjamas and sharpening the points of their knives. While PM Gordon Brown hops from foot to foot on You Tube, looking like an epileptic on steroids, his trusted cabinet colleagues are busy plotting. Last week, Communities Secretary, Hazel Blears, openly stated that her boss had led a […]
Twitter – Long May It Last!
No-one can doubt that Twitter has been an unqualified success story. It came from no-where to being one of the most mentioned – and used – websites on the internet. Celebrities are not considered A-Listers unless they are known to be posting their (often vacant) thoughts, using less than 140 characters. Their popularity is judged […]
Pandemic Of The Press!
It seems we are all doomed. Well we are if we are to believe the stories in the tabloids and the reports being shown on tonight’s early evening news. Apparently, two people in the UK have now been confirmed as having Swine Flu, the highly contagious version of the flu family for which we do […]
The Value Of Wealth!
Today, sees the publication of the annual Sunday Times Rich List. As its name suggests, it is a league table of the richest people in the UK. According to news reports, it seems those listed this year, have seen their fortunes decline over the past 12 months. Those fortunes have suffered heavily through falling property […]
Child Poverty – Is It Greed or Need?
Various charities have been lobbying for more funds to be made available in this week’s budget, to tackle child poverty in the UK. What confuses me about the subject, is that there does not seem to be a true definition of what child poverty really is. I fail to remember ever seeing pot-bellied, semi-naked children, […]
Politicians Should Blog Off!
The rather unsavoury allegations this weekend concerning politicians and their unelected special advisors, have demonstrated how low the standards of political campaigning have become in the UK. We have become a nation with ‘personality politicians’ – which seems to be a bit of an irony seeing as we have a prime minister who demonstrates very […]
