I’d just like to say thank you to Lord Levy and the Metropolitan Police for the lovely birthday present I had this morning when I turned on BBC1. I am referring, of course, to the arrest of King Tony’s mate Lord Levy in the cash for peerages investigation. Lord Levy – whose job with the [...]

It seems that I’ve upset one of my MEP’s.  Conservative MEP, Phillip Bushill-Matthews, is a rampant eurofederalist who seems to have taken exception to my accusing anyone who supports the Europen Federation of treachery. Debunking the myths peddled about EU Stuart Parr (Star, January 11) claims I “peddle the myth that the EU cannot impose legislation upon [...]

Is it actually possible for every Labour Home Secretary since 1997 to have been utterly incompetent or is there some gipsy curse on the Home Office? Jack Straw was responsible for some decidedly illiberal laws and allowing General Pinochet to return to Chile without standing trial for human rights abuses and was expected to be demoted in [...]

A report for the Department of Education has concluded that English schools should put more emphasis on a British identity in lessons. Citizenship lessons are now compulsary for secondary school pupils but the report says that not enough emphasis is placed on Britishness and Gordon Brown’s mysterious values than bind us all together. Education is devolved [...]

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/regionalquangos/  England is infested with undemocratic, unaccountable regional quango’s. These include regional assemblies, regional development agencies, regional observatories and the new city regions. None of these quango’s are elected and none of them answer to the public yet they cost the taxpayer billions of pounds. This whole tier of unwanted regional government should be abolished [...]

The British government is trying to pass a law preventing any form of discrimination.  The Catholic Church, which believes homosexuality is a sin, is opposed to the new law because it will make it illegal for their adoption agencies to refuse tp place a child with a homosexual couple.  In light of this the Catholic Church [...]

It looks like the Home Office is going to be split in two creating a Justice Ministry headed up by Charlie Falconer, the unelected Lord Chancellor. It has been hypothesised that the proposed changes to the Home Office are a ruse to take the heat off the cash for peerages investigation after one of Bliar’s [...]

Frank Field MP has launched Early Day Motion 670 calling for an English Parliament. That this House notes that those polls that have questioned the English report a clear majority in favour of an English parliament; and further notes that it is this issue, and not Scottish independence or even House of Lords reform, that [...]

The Scottish Accounts Commission, an agency of the Scottish Executive, has told the Shetland Islands Council that it must do more to live within its means and start spending only what money it raises. Does this mean that every council in Scotland is going to be told to only spend what it raises?  Currently, Scotland [...]

It was announced the other day that RAF Cosford has lost its bid to keep the DARA (Defence Aviation Repair Agency) training centre to RAF St Athan in South Wales. It has been mentioned that the winning consortium contains QinetiQ (formerly DERA – Defence Evaluation and Research Agency) which is 21% owned by the British government [...]

The Prime Ministers petitions website has a petition for St Georges Day to be made a public holiday. The petition is here.

The former boss of the Rural Payments Agency has apologised for the agency’s shambolic administration of the payment of farming subsidies. Thanks to the RPA’s inability do their job, countless farmers were forced to sell their farms or go bankrupt.  The whole cock-up cost English farmers an estimated £21m but only affected Welsh and Scottish farmers who [...]

The head of communications at Shropshire County Council has been suspended from his job pending an investigation for trying to cheat a BBC poll. The county council is trying to promote the establishment of a unitary authority covering the whole county of Shropshire (excluding Telford & Wrekin) – regionalisation by another name – but has [...]

The BBC have been uncharacteristically keen on discussing the break-up of the union, nationalism and they even seem to have rediscovered the “E” word (England). A BBC-commissioned poll showed that 61% of people were in favour of the establishment of an English Parliament.  This is despite the BBC weighting the Scottish and Welsh contribution to [...]

Anglophobic bigot, Peter Hain, has followed the Tartan Taxman by warning that the union is being attacked by the Tories and nationalists. He tells the Welsh that “the contribution of Wales to the industrial development of Britain was enormous, helping to create prosperity and to turn us into a world power.  In return, Wales has [...]

I had a doctors appointment this morning and as I turned up 10 minutes early I went to the chemists next door to pick up my father-in-law’s prescription. There were eight people behind the counter at the chemists but only one person serving.  I had to wait 10 minutes to get served while the other [...]

A man living in England is considering moving to North Britain so that he can get a cancer treatment that he is not allowed in England. The man, who is in remission from a rare terminal bone cancer, wants to be prescribed Velcade when his cancer comes back but the National Institute for Clinical Excellence [...]

English wankers If you listen very carefully you can still hear the tinkling of the dropping penny down at Downing Street.According to our leader-in-waiting, the UK is being menaced by an “opportunist group of nationalists” who are “playing fast and loose” with the union. Apparently, “it is very important to recognise that Britishness and Britain [...]

It looks like the school leaving age in England is going to be raised to 18 by 2013. Apparently, this is to mop up the 18% of children that don’t currently go on to further education because 82% of kids going on to college and university isn’t acceptable. Frankly, I’m astonished that 82% of kids [...]

The following just dropped into my inbox from a senior UKIPer: Dear All, There have been various unofficial reports concerning Plymouth branch recently and many of you have voiced concern, or have asked whether the reports they have read are correct. Having checked with Piers Merchant the situation is that 4 or 5 disaffected members [...]

The Act of Union was ratified in the Scottish Parliament on the 16th January 1707. What will you be doing to celebrate the Act of Union? Personally, I’ll mark the occassion by calling for the repeal of the Act of Union and the establishment of a federal British government.

A “muslim expert” has called for the NHS to provide a faith-based service. He calls on the cash-strapped National Health Service to provide better access to prayer facilities, more information on alcohol-based treatments, circumcision of children and guaranteed same-sex medical staff. The NHS is already short of cash and this is an unncessary and unreasonable [...]

The European Parliament has a strange system of political groups in place of political parties. The EPP is probably the best known of these groups in England, being the eurofederalist right wing group that David Cameron pledged to withdraw from when he became leader of the Conservatives but didn’t much to the annoyance of the majority eurosceptic [...]

The following West Midlands NO! campaign article appeared in the Birmingham Post on 27th December: If someone were to tell you that the biggest threat to England right now was regionalisation you would probably laugh at them but it’s true and it’s happening right now. England is infested with regional quango’s – all unelected and [...]

Two Conservative peers – Lord Pearson of Rannoch and Lord Willoughby de Broke – have defected to UKIP. The two peers are forming a UKIP group in the House of Lords in protest at the lack of “sufficiently Eurosceptic policy” in the Conservative Party.  They go on to say that UKIP are the “only party [...]

We must keep on scrutinising quango SIR — I read, with interest, the debate about the proposed Worcestershire unitary authority. There are, to my knowledge, two county councils in the West Midlands proposing a unitary authority – Worcestershire and Shropshire. In Shropshire, the proposal is being supported by councillors Pate and Mosley — both are [...]

Jack McConnell, First Minister of North Britain, has promised to give Scotland the best education system in the world by 2020. He plans to open specialist centres of excellence to push bright pupils and to make it compulsary for all 16 and 17 year olds to be in education, training or a job. There’s no [...]

An Illiberal Democrat councillor at Bridgnorth suggests that Bridgnorth District Council’s decision to defer a second vote on a unitary authority for Shropshire whilst the chairman of the council was on holiday (the chairman had cast the deciding no vote last time) was of dubious legality because it was a common law from 1895. Said [...]

No mention of English people in our anthem I read the letter by Mr R Dunn, of Telford, regarding the national anthem and the monarchy. Surely he ought to get his facts right before putting pen to paper. I would point out the anthem he refers to is a German anthem.  It was chosen by a [...]

The unelected Scottish Lord Chancellor of England, Charlie Falconer, is backing Gordon Brown for Prime Minister. So far only two MP’s have been mooted as replacements from Bliar – Gordon Brown and John Reid, both of which are Scots and have constituencies in Scotland.
