An interim report into Turkey’s future memebrship of the European Federation is highly critical and their bid is looking a bit “shaky”. One of the main stumbling blocks is that Turkey had to open up its ports (including airports) to other EU member states – including Cyprus – but Cypriots are still not allowed free movement.  [...]

How does he do it, eh?  Teflon Tony has somehow managed to avoid a proper inquiry into the lies and deceit that resulted in him taking us into an illegal war in Iraq on the back of completely fabricated “intelligence”. Despite the fact that Labour’s wafer thin majority was already at risk by rebels in their own [...]

The power-mad, money grabbing British government is losing the media war on global warming already.  The Stern Report has been rubbished and criticised by the media – even the Labour Press Office BBC. Cobbett Rides Again puts the report into perspective superbly and the Adam Smith Institute gives the report a metaphorical kick in the [...]

Israel is stepping up an offensive into the Gaza Strip which started in retaliation for a cross-border raid by Palestinian militia. Am I the only one who sees the double-standards in this?  Israel has been conducting one constant cross-border raid into Palestine since it invaded and illegally occupied the country in 1967. In trying to [...]

The Ignorant Jock is expected to hike up all sorts of taxes to combat global warming following a summit today that Tim Worstall abandoned his live reporting on because it was inaccurate and designed to come out with one answer – global warming is happening and it’s going to cost lots of money. DK points [...]

Bank of England £20 notes are having the picture of Elgar replaced with a picture of the North British economist, Adam Smith. Can anybody, under any possible circumstances, imagine an English person ever appearing on the back of a Royal Bank of Scotland, HBoS or Clydesdale bank note?  Hell would freeze over first.

Mrs Sane tells me that from 11am today, BBC1 was bedecked with BBC Scotland logo’s. It could just be Telewest getting things arse about face (it wouldn’t be the first time – Adventure 1 on Telewest has Dutch Teletext subtitles) or it could be that the Raj have finally taken over the BBC and Braveheart [...]

By way of an update to my previous post, more pointless laws, someone has pointed out that 30% of Islamic suicide bombers are women.  They also note that in an attack on a Shia mosque in Baghad recently in which over 70 people died and 158 were injured, of the 3 bombers, one was a [...]

Britains most senior muslim police officer (someone actually has a league table?), Assistant Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur, has submitted plans to the Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith, to make flag burning a crime. This is to help the police deal with violent protests apparently.  I thought waving burning rags in a crowd of people was something the [...]

The British government is, let’s be honest here, crap.  They do what they want which is mostly what we don’t want them to do.  They do what is in their own best interests which is mostly bad for us.  They discriminate against the English to secure the celtic vote and when we try and do [...]

The “security barrier” on the Israeli-Palestine border (or quite often not on the border but cutting into Palestine) has attracted worldwide criticism.  The Israeli’s have been accused of creating a modern-day Berlin wall and criticised for the damaging effects the barrier will have on Palestine and future relations with Israel and its neighbours. The Americans rarely criticise [...]

There was a black and white film from the 60′s (I think it was the 60′s anyway) that had, as it’s soundtrack, “I wanna be a hippy and I wanna get stoned”.  The film was really funny and all the way through it there was this talking fish smoking a spliff. Anyone know what the [...]

Jack McConnell, the North British First Minister, wants their nuclear waste dumped in north England rather than in North Britain where it is produced. The British government, Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly are currently thrashing out a deal. North Britain is roughly 2/3rds of the size of England but has only 5m inhabitants with England [...]

The British government is releasing a white paper on local government reforms in England. The white paper from Ruth Kelly’s department will pledge more powers to local authorities in return for new rules imposing elected mayors and giving the electorate the right to challenge their local authorities. Lord Bruce-Lockhart, a Conservative peer, said “It is [...]

WATCH YOUR BACK, YOU’RE UNDER ATTACK! SEERA IS COMING TO GATWICK THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO MAKE A STAND AGAINST SEERA AND THE NEW ARC MANCHE REGION (SOMETHING A BIT DIFFERENT IS BEING PLANNED) AT LE MERIDIEN HOTEL, GATWICK, NORTH TERMINAL ON 15TH NOVEMBER 2006 AT 9.30A.M. AS USUAL BANNERS AND LEAFLETS WILL BE SUPPLIED, [...]

Arden Forester points out the European Federation law coming into effect in 3 years time banning all references to non-metric measurements on goods manufactured or imported into the European Federation will not only cost billions to both the European Federation and the US but it will also breach US federal law which requires imperial measurements. [...]

The English Constitutional Convention launched officially today at Westminster Palace.  The ECC is a joint effort between the Campaign for an English Parliament and the English Democrats with a number of Lords and MP’s as patrons. The official launch was prematurely reported yesterday in the North British press but has still made it into the Daily Telegraph [...]

The following press release was supposed to be made public tomorrow but the Scotsman and Herald newspapers both released it early so here it is: PRESS RELEASE: 17 OCTOBER 2006 EMBARGOED: 05:00 24 OCTOBER 2006 SCOTTISH CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION CHAIRMAN TO CALL FOR A “STRONG ENGLISH PARLIAMENT” AT INAUGURAL MEETING OF PATRONS OF THE ENGLISH CONSTITUTIONAL [...]

The recycling nazi’s in Swansea have prosecuted a man for putting a letter in with his glass recycling.  He denied putting the piece of junk mail in the bag but despite having no evidence that he did, the council managed to obtain a conviction resulting in a £100 fine and £100 costs. In April he [...]

A leaked document from Jack Straw’s office contains plans for further “reforms” to the House of Lords in a barely disguised attempt to remove all opposition from the upper house by having 50% elected and 50% appointed Lords. As I’ve said before, the “reforms” to the House of Lords are nothing to do with democracy and [...]
