A Christian woman has lost an internal appeal at British Airways for her right to wear a small crucifix. BA has a policy of not allowing jewelery or religious symbols for its uniformed staff but does not extend this rule to Sikhs who are allowed to wear turbans or to muslims who are allowed to [...]

DEFRA, the incompetent British government department that looks after the environment and rural affairs in England, spent £170m on consultants last year. Some of these consultants were no doubt responsible for overseeing the farcical farm subsidy scheme which has been bankrupting English farmers and has landed the British government with massive fines from the European [...]

Sikh’s from all over the country have travelled to North Britain to hold a vigil to call for peace and tolerance. What motivated this gathering was the racially motivated attack on a 15 year old Sikh boy in which his hair was cut off – something deeply offensive to Sikhs. What happened to the boy [...]

Labour flunky, Matthew Taylor, has criticised bloggers for a crisis in politics by exposing shitty politicians, government stupidity and making unreasonable demands. Taylor says that politics and the internet aren’t necessarily a bad partnership of course, citing Traitor Blair’s recent online interview and David Milliband (the cretinous minister in charge of DEFRA that has overseen mass [...]

Potty mouthed, haggis eating blogger, Devils Kitchen, is making a guest appearance on 18 Doughty Street on monday from 9pm to midnight. Should be worth watching, if only to see him sweat trying to string two words together without resorting to traditional Anglo-Saxon vocabulary and/or obscene and biological insults.

My local authority, Telford & Wrekin Council, has taken it upon themselves to offer to borrow £20m from the British government to help bail out our local hospital. The loan would be paid through increases in our council tax bills but the people of Telford & Wrekin haven’t even been consulted – the decision has [...]

I thought I’d upset someone at the Shropshire Star as it’s been weeks since any of my letters have been published and then this one from a couple of weeks ago was published … Farmers worse off as British Citizens Farmers in the UK, like farmers in the rest of the European Federation, receive farming [...]

Four Christian Student Unions have been banned from universities for refusing to allow non-Christians to address their meetings and for not embracing gays and he-she’s. The unions have been banned because their beliefs and constitutions don’t fit in with the multi-cultural “positive discrimintation” policies. I wonder if the other faith unions allow all and sundry to [...]

Please let me have your Twat of the Week nominations for this week. For more details, click here.

New passports feature a “secure” RFID chip with all your details on them.  The RFID chip allows the details on your passport to be read by a scanner without actually coming into contact with the passport. The British government introduced the RFID chip for a couple of reasons – firstly, the American’s will only waive [...]

Hazel Blears, the Labour Stazi Chairman, has confirmed that the “heavyweight successor” Bliar was referring to during the Queen’s Speech debate in the Ignorant Jock. The Labour Stazi constitution says that the leadership succession has to be via a party ballot yet here we have the Prime Minister clearly stating that they won’t even be [...]

A belated announcement for the newly-resurrected Twat of the Week award and a return of the usual suspects. First we had the Ignorant Jock, Gordon Brown.  Always a firm favourite for the Twat of the Week award and rarely fails to make the nominations. Secondly the unelected Scottish Lord Chancellor of England and the Prime [...]

The Queen’s Speech is a bit of a sad affair.  The speech has become such a highly politicised piece of propaganda that it’s become an embarassment.  The British government should tell the Queen what they are going to do and she should write her own speech otherwise she just becomes a political tool. Anyway, what’s [...]

Mrs Sane phoned me at work yesterday to tell me that something in the upstairs bathroom was leaking.  Again. When I got home from work, the ceiling in the downstairs bathroom was soaking and water was dripping from the light fittings.  Generally not a good sign so I fired up the laptop and Googled for [...]

The Home Office has settled out of court with 198 jailed drug addicts for breaching their human rights. What terrible act of torture and punishment was inflicted on them?  They weren’t allowed to take drugs in prison and going cold turkey as a result was tantamount to torture. According to a book called the “Prisons Handbook”, [...]

It’s looking increasingly likely that the lung cancer drug Tarceva will not be made available in England. The drug is widely available in North Britain but NICE considers the drugs not to be an effective use of taxpayers money.  Money isn’t such an issue for our neighbours north of the border as it is the [...]

The SNP have tabled an amendment to this years Queen’s Speech to pledge to publish an exit strategy from Iraq. They are using a Liberal amendment from 80 years ago as precedent when an amendment was proposed to withdraw from Iraq which was then known as Mesopotamia.  Unfortunately, the decision on the amendment is down [...]

The British Foreign Secretary, Margaret Beckett, has compared climate sceptics – people who say that global warming isn’t happening – to people who support Islamic terrorism and says they shouldn’t be allowed access to the media. Beckett is obviously ignorant of the facts – the average temperature of the earth rose two degrees celsius from [...]
