The ‘Irony’ In A Labour Poster!
Just as I feared, Labour have now swallowed the bait from the Conservatives and are following them into an election campaign based on personalities rather than politics. The party PR machine has launched the above poster depicting David Cameron in the role of a fictional TV detective based in the 1980’s. Detective Gene Hunt is […]
UK Politics And A Blank Billboard!

Should John Terry Remain England Captain? – Hell No!
Predictably, the papers are full of the alleged marital indiscretion of England and Chelsea captain John Terry and questioning whether he should be allowed to continue as captain of the England squad at this year’s World Cup Finals.

Blair And Iraq – All In One Picture!
Having spent today following the reports of Tony Blair’s historic grilling, yesterday, at the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq War, I was really not sure what impression I was left with. Then, I saw the above picture in The London Daily News and it seemed to sum it all up perfectly!!
MMR Jab – The ‘Proof’ Is Still Out There!
One of the biggest decisions for parents of small children over the last decade, has been whether to have a child vaccinated with the MMR jab. The triple vaccine is said to protect against Measles, Mumps and Rubella and is highly recommended by the officers of our nanny state who, of course, always know best. […]
‘Obscenity’ And The Ministry of Defence

The average payment for senior fixed term appointees was said to be £31,890 over the same period. What the heck is a ‘senior […]
