I was surprised to see George Osborne’s plan to tackle homophophic bullying in schools promoted so willingly by the press last Sunday. It also features prominently on the front page of the Conservative Party website. Unfortunately for him, though, I remembered posting about an almost identical plan put forward by the Lib Dem’s Nick Clegg […]
Cameron’s Hollow Conservatives!
David Cameron’s choice of venue for the launch of his party’s election manifesto, this morning, struck me as being a strange one, until I realised that Battersea Power Station has an immensely impressive facade but very little on the inside. Do you see the irony? Just like the Conservative party, it is struggling to convince […]
Political Leaders Trying To Sell Us Bankrupt Stock!
This week will see the launch of manifestos from all the main political parties. They will set out their ‘shops’ hoping to convince us to walk through their doors and buy their promises. Sadly, they all have one thing in common; they have nothing to sell! Oh sure, they will try and convince us we […]
Pubs, Politicians And The Benefits Of Global Warming
If there is one group of people who must relish the prospect of global warming, it is that of those who work in the pub trade. They have been hit really hard over the last few years with unfair competition from the undercutting supermarkets and customers reducing their spending during the recession. Many pubs have […]
Labour’s ‘Woman Of Substance’
Well, I have finally discovered who is standing for Labour as their chosen candidate to replace Derek Wyatt at the polls on May 6th. The above info was lying on my doormat yesterday evening. Apparently, Angela Harrison is a ‘Woman of real Substance, real Achievement and NO SPIN’ That seems to be a bit of […]
Nosey Neighbours Speeding Us Along The Road To Communism!
As if things are not bad enough in our new Big Brother world, Kent police have started to issue some of its residents, in the larger towns, radar detection kits to check on the speed of passing motorists. If they are exceeding the limit, the speed flashes onto a large roadside sign and the vehicle’s […]
Conservatives Win Round One!
Congratulations to the Conservatives, who were first to litter my letterbox with election recycling materials yesterday. Prospective MP, Gordon Henderson, is keen to replace Labour’s Derek Wyatt who has been a very active MP locally but who is standing down this time around following his parliamentary expenses revealing a penchant for pork pies and scotch […]

No Room At The Inn For Gays – But Jesus Is OK!
While the political rumblings might not be as severe as the 7.2 on the Richter scale being experienced by those in Mexico, Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Grayling, must have felt more than a little quake in the pit of his stomach following publication of comments he made in private to the Centre For Policy Studies, […]
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 […]
