Top marks to Sunday Telegraph columnist Melissa Kite for her splendid idea about why the Labour party calls itself er, the Labour Party. I’d always thought that “Labour” was meant to distance the party from its true Communist/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist underpinnings. We all know that indeed this is whence Labour’s brothers and commissars began and continue their […]

Free speech, if it means anything, applies to extremist Muslims too
I heard a so-called moderate Muslim leader on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme this week saying that because Briton was a country which guaranteed free speech, it was OK that those alien creatures spat abuse and hatred at our troops earlier this week. He does have a point. Free speech, if it means anything at […]
Latest BBC climate scare story will be wrong, and go uncorrected
“Fool Who Would Be King will tell us we have only “100 months left” to save the planet” Here’s a prediction for you, based on bitter experience of the BBC. The latest scare story on climate change from the BBC, which claims sea levels will rise 3 feet 4 inches in the next […]
Tory Evasion On Wilders Case Shows Cameroon Superficiality
Justine Greening’s hand-wringing reply on BBC TV’s Question Time to the question about Geert Wilders’ visit, and Chris Grayling’s earlier statement, (if Wilders might transgress laws, we support the government action; followed by the pathetic whine about the government is inconsistent) shows why traditional Tories like me will never vote for this superficial, opportunistic, Cameron-led […]
U.K. Ban On Dutch Politician Undermines Freedom Of Speech
It’s hard to know which is the most objectionable. Is it the British government’s craven cowardice in banning Dutch MP Geert Wilders from entering this cradle of democracy for fear he may offend? Or is it the British government’s gross, head-bangingly crass stupidity in banning a minor politician who would have made a speech […]
Hamas Killers Sacrifice Palestinians For Their Sick Cause
Watching the childish, petulant, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan‘s antics while sharing a stage with Israeli President Shimon Peres at the Davos summit served as another reminder of how the reality of Hamas gets lost in the political debate. Hamas is an extreme, bloodthirsty group of Muslim maniacs who love death the way we […]
The Very Existence Of A House Of Lords Shames Britain
It isn’t just that the House of Lords is a shameful hotbed of corruption – so that’s why they look as though they are about to fall asleep all the time – surely the most despicable thing of all is its existence in the first place, and what that says about the British. No other […]
Obama Stumbles At Inauguration; Gives Little Away About Plans
You had to feel sorry for President Barack Hussein Obama, when the oafish judge who was reading the oath of office read the words in chunks that were too big to handle. Poor Barack fluffed his lines. I bet he got it in the neck from the awful Michelle later. His speech was a mishmash […]
Politicians Outstrip Science In Race To Be Green
July 1997 Politicians Outstrip Science In Race To Be Green. Politicians are convinced they must save the world from global warming, but scientists are hesitating, saying nothing has been proved yet. And some experts say heavy-handed measures to stop warming may do more harm than good. World leaders at last month’s United Nations Earth Summit […]
