I was playing around with an idea of comparing the antics of parliament with a circus, when I came upon a website called clown-names.com I just couldn’t resist the temptation to feed the following names into the clown name generator to see who their clown alter egos would be: David Cameron = Baron Noogstein Nick […]

The Lame Excuse For Action In Libya
Announcing the commencement of military action against the Gadaffi regime’s refusal to capitulate to the wishes of the UN our PM, David Cameron, said: “We should not stand aside while this dictator murders his own people” It seemed to be a rather strange and weak reasoning for entering into what could well escalate as a […]
Clegg Reveals ‘Complete Bilge’
If, like me, you have ever wondered how two political parties, with differing ideologies, can form a coalition government and run our country, you will be pleased to read that deputy prime minister, Nick Clegg, has revealed all. In an interview in today’s Independent entitled ‘I Told Cameron He Was Talking Complete Bilge’ he said: […]
Another Fine Mess……Well Almost!!
I haven’t written anything, up until today at least, about the recent uprisings in the Middle East. To be quite honest with you, I don’t really know what to think. The speed with which the protesters achieved their objectives in both Tunisia and Egypt surprised even the most optimistic of observers. It was almost as […]
Is Vince Cable A Fool Or A Mischief Maker?
Is this the face of a fool or the face of a mischief maker? Business Secretary, Vince Cable, who has long been respected for his forthright views on the economy and his personal reservations about his party’s power sharing coalition with the Conservatives, has been caught in a ‘sting’ by two journalists from the Daily […]
Raising The Cost Of Education Is Just A Riot!
Yesterday, was the day the wheels could have come off the Coalition bus but it just managed to wobble home carrying a small majority of 21 votes. Well, we think it was 21 votes, but after the damning report this week revealing we are behind countries like Poland, Iceland and Estonia in the international league […]
Students Get Police ‘Punchy’ And ‘Over Steamed’ From Kettling
I was led to the video below from the Liberal Conspiracy website because I was interested in witnessing the footage of a policeman punching a student at the recent demonstrations in London; I was not disappointed. I found it horrifying to witness the pure aggression of the officers who were forming the line blocking the […]
Calls To Dry Up The Wikileaks!
If you put water into a leaky bucket, you get wet. Similarly, if you do not secure confidential transmissions between diplomats around the world you get leaks. That one basic fact is what the USA is finding out today as a staggering 251,000 of its confidential memos have been published on the whistleblower website Wikileaks […]
MI6 Blamed For Taliban Hoaxer
You couldn’t make it up if you tried. The man who claimed to be a senior Taliban leader in Afghanistan and who has been engaged in talks with coalition forces and the Afghan government about reaching a peaceful settlement, has turned out to be a fake and has disappeared without trace. As if that were […]
Help I’m A Prisoner – I’ll Vote Me Out Of Here!
I have always been of the view (somewhat naively it now seems) that if someone commits an unlawful act against the society in which we live, they forfeit the right to be a part of our society for a specified period of time set by a Court of Law – they are ‘banged up’ While […]
