Turkey’s EU membership looks a bit ropey

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.  [...]

No inquiry into illegal war

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 [...]

Global Warming – is anyone convinced?

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 [...]

What’s good for the goose …

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 [...]

Global Warming my arse

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 [...]

Can you imagine this happening in reverse?

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.

BBC where?

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 [...]

Move along, there’s nothing to see here

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 [...]

More pointless laws proposed

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 [...]

Value for money?

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 [...]

Now if I was a cynical person …

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 [...]

Name that film

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 [...]

You can’t have your cake and dump it

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 [...]

Local Government reforms

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 [...]

Give em an inch and they’ll take 91.44cm

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.

English Constitutional Convention

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 [...]

Scottish Constitutional Convention Chairman to call for a “strong English parliament”

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 [...]

Recycling Nazi’s

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 [...]

Straw plans Lords “reforms”

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 [...]

CRE warning of race violence

Trevor Phillips, the head of the Commission for Racial Equality, has warned that the recent debates over muslims wearing veils, the “positive” discrimination in favour of muslims and the discrimination against christians may end up leading to race riots. Good.  Let the likes of the Islamic Human Rights Commission and the Muslim Council of Britain [...]

I’ve never been in a burning restaurant before …

Mrs Sane’s cousin owns a posh restaurant in Chester (Micheal Owen goes there from time to time) so we went for a meal today. It’s only a small restaurant – 40 odd seats – but at £16 for 3 courses of some of the best food I’ve eaten (and believe me, I’ve eaten a lot [...]

Ramadan advent calendars

I kid you not, Tesco are selling halal Ramadan advent calendars.  I went to Tesco yesterday and there they were, on the end of one of the aisles.  Looked like they’d been selling quite well too.

Clare Short resigns from Labour Party

Clare Short has resigned from the Labour Stazi and will spend remain as an independent MP until the next election when she will stand down. She was reprimanded recently for saying she hoped there would be a hung parliament after the next election and for criticising the party and Traitor Blair. Full story: BBC News

Prison ships

Criminals are now being locked up in English police cells at huge cost because all our prisons are full. The British government is now considering building prison ships to take the strain. Prison ships are a good idea for certain types of prisoners – those who are likely to try and escape for instance – [...]

Sick, sick bastard

A known paedophile kidnapped a 6 year old girl while she was in the bath, violently raped her and left her naked in a lane. He molested a 12 year old girl 5 years ago, was caught and locked up.  He was released after 2 years because a judge thought he was sorry for what [...]

Back home

I’m back. Mrs Sane and I managed to get away without the kids for a few days to go back to Alvaston Hall, the no-kids-allowed hotel we went to last year.  Missing the tropicarium (like a sauna but not as hot), sauna, steam room and spa already …

On holiday (again)

Yes, I know I’ve been on holiday about 4 times already this year but I’m going again.  We’re going back to Alvaston Hall in Nantwich, the no-kids hotel we went to last year.  Five days of peace, quiet and relaxation without the children.  Feel a bit guilty about leaving the kids behind of course but it’s [...]

Why should I change?

Ruth Kelly says that we need to fight extremism which includes the “still poisonous” far right (presumably she means the left-wing socialist border-line Communist BNP).  She says that the British government will be working with colleges and universities to combat extremism that festers there. Lord Nazir Ahmed trots out the usual durge about muslims being victims.  [...]
