Iain Dale, in an unusual departure from his normally relatively unbiased blogging, has tried to implicate some sort of link between the BNP and UKIP. Now this is nothing new – even the BNP do it – but the “link” is a non-issue. Basically, the BNP has listed UKIP candidates who are standing in constituencies [...]

A fortnight ago I reported that our masters in the European Federation wanted to replace our national football teams with a single British football team. There was some scepticism in the comments which is perfectly understandable but it’s reassuring to note that the dead tree press have finally caught up with this article in the Birmingham Post.  [...]

Imagine the scene … a local council in the West Midlands decides the best way to deliver services to taxpayers is to set up a private limited company that doesn’t have to comply with the Freedom of Information Act and can operate in secrecy because of “commercial interests”.  They can throw vast sums of money [...]

Twat of the Week David Cameron Des Browne Gordon Brown David Milliband    Free polls from Pollhost.com Dangerous Dave Cameron has presumably been nominated for his latest “save the union at all costs” speech. Des McBroon had more nominations than anyone else.  Should they sell their stories, shouldn’t they?  Make your mind up Des. The [...]

Scotland benefits while we pay out On April 1st the cost of prescriptions in England went up to £6.85 per item.  On the same day in Wales the charges were abolished. In Scotland 92% of prescriptions are dispensed free of charge and MSPs only narrowly rejected a bill to abolish them completely in 2005.  It [...]

It’s not often that I agree with anything the Education Secretary says but I’m afraid I’ve got to back him up over his stance on Wikipedia. The Encyclopaedia Britannica offers online content for a price which a lot of schools currently.  Alan Johnson is on the receiving end of some flack for recommending the use [...]

I’m giving a talk on the CEP tomorrow at a public meeting in Telford. I’m standing in the local election in May and the meeting has been organised by the local UKIP association for their candidates, of which I am one (yes, I know they don’t support an English Parliament but neither do any of [...]

I went to the dentist today and had two fillings. As I said a couple of weeks ago, I have a phobia of dentists which has prevented me going for years. It didn’t go too badly actually.  I was a tad nervous – by the time she’d finished I was shaking that much I could [...]

The Millibeast has decided to show us his green credentials by sending out green pledge cards to every household “across the country”. DEFRA only covers England though so I guess “across the country” means England yet by the looks of it, the pledge card talks about the UK.  Strange. Anyway, I’m a climate change denier [...]

A Sunday Times poll has come to the shocking conclusion that Gordon Brown is not fit to be Prime Minister. What a startling revelation. In the poll, over half of people who responded felt that the Tartan Taxman was unfit to be Prime Minister with less than 30% thinking he would do a good job. In other [...]

A Shropshire man – John Green of Bridgnorth, Shropshire – has been refused the kidney cancer drug Sorafenib Nexaval on the NHS. The drug is freely available in Scotland thanks to the £11.3bn of English taxes given to Scotland under the discredited Barnett Formula by Chancellor Gordon Brown. Mr Green is currently funding the £3,000 [...]

The vote was tied this time with Gordon Borwn and Margaret Beckett both polling 28% of the vote so I did the only sensible thing and tossed a Eucratides Silver Tetradrachm of the Bactria Indo-Sythican Greek Kingdom coin for the winner.  Gordon was Tails, Margaret was Heads and the results were: I therefore declare Gordon [...]

Under current election law people who are deaf and dumb are banned from standing for election. Bournemouth Council has just gotten itself into trouble for directly quoting a 1766 electoral law which says that “lunatics and idiots” and “deaf and dumb persons” are disqualified from standing for election.  The council has apologised for using non-PC [...]

The 15 Royal Navy crew who were kidnapped by the Iranians have just arrived home. They flew in on a BA flight accompanied by Royal Navy helicopters. They all looked well and happy to be home.

At great minimal expense to myself I am running a competition … with a prize! The author of the best resignation speech for Tony Bliar will receive the following: Your speech will be printed off and sent, along with a St Georges Day card, to 10 Downing Street in time for St Georges Day.  You [...]

I posted a poll a long time ago on boycotting Tesco and completely forgot about it.  It’s had quite a few votes though, the results are as follows: Boycott Tesco until they put the English flag on English produce? Votes Percent Yes 58 53% No 6 5% I have already seen the light and already [...]

Just an update on the results of the “Which department will Charlier Falconer get” poll: 4 people think that he’ll get the Ministry of Justice even though he’s been told it’s going to an elected MP. 2 people think that he’ll get the Department of Health which would be quite ironic. 1 person thinks he’ll get [...]
