Princess Tony is in Sierra Leone being crowned a “paramount chief” by a local tribe. Defending his taxpayer-funded farewell tour round the world, he said “Five years ago this country was being taken over by gangsters who were killing innocent people, raping women, despoiling the country.  But today we have a situation where in three [...]

Smokers will be able to get a daily pill for free on the NHS that will help them give up smoking. The pill will cost the NHS £1.95 per day and works by stimulating the brain in the same way that nicotine does, thus reducing the craving.  The pill has been approved by NICE who [...]

I read the other day that the Scottish Executive now wants to be called “the government”. What a surprise to see the BBC sucking up to their future Scottish masters: Government to scrap council tax Yep, that’s the Scottish government, not the British government.  Less than a fortnight ago Newsnight asked for nominations for an award - The Order [...]

Conservative Shadow Chancellor, George Osborne, says that the Tories will carry on Liebour’s “reform” of public services. Liebour have butchered public services, turning the country into a pseudo-socialist dictatorship.  Less well-off people are forever indebted to a “benevolent” state which taxes them to the hilt and drip feeds them just enough money to keep them [...]

The Northern Irish government has voted to provide free personal care for the elderly in Northern Ireland from 2008 although the Northern Irish Health Minister says that the date in the bill isn’t binding on the Executive and that it is more likely to happen in 2010. Personal care for the elderly is already free [...]

The fruitcake dictator of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, has apparently run out of white-owned farms to give to his cronies and has turned his attention to foreign-owned businesses. In a bill which he will be putting before the Zimbabwean Parliament next month, all foreign-owned businesses must be majority owned by an indigenous (ie. black) Zimbabweans.  If [...]

Dear Sir/Madam, It is becoming increasingly obvious that, come the revolution, there won’t be a wall big enough in England to line all our traitors up against. Would it be possible to use the Great Wall of China? It should just about be big enough. Kind Regards, Wonko the Sane  

King Cameron of Leftytown is expected to sack his Europe spokesman for the unthinkable crime of criticising the party over it’s latest lefty socialist policy – abolishing grammar schools. Graham Brady produced statistics showing that selection at the age of 11 improved GCSE pass rates amongst all sections of society, especially amongst ethnic minorities.  Grammar [...]

Brown has no place as our PM Many people would agree with me that Gordon Brown has no mandate to govern England. He hasn’t contested an election as leader of the Labour Party and potential Prime Minister for a start – so much for his pledge to restore trust in democracy. However, there is a [...]

At the bottom of every post you will now see an extra line above the post information (date, time, comments, etc.) telling you what mood I was in when I wrote the post. I’m a great believer in open source so if anyone wants to implement this in their own WordPress blog, read on … [...]

The SNP have pledged to abolish the council tax in Scotland in two years. The plan is to freeze council tax next year and replace it in 2010 with a local income tax.  The SNP is working with the Illiberal Democrats who have had local income tax as one of their policies for a long [...]

The location of the passport and ID card interrogation centre in Shrewsbury has been discovered through a planning application for the installation of air conditioning units. The interrogation centre will be on a business park near Shrewsbury College of Arts and Technology in Mercury House.  The site is off Thieves Lane.  The irony. The office has [...]

The Home secretary, John Reid, is planning to try and push through new “anti-terrorism” laws in just four weeks that will allow police officers to stop people, require proof of their identity and question them about their movements.  Anyone refusing to provide their name or co-operate with the police if stopped and questions will be [...]

The poll for the worst Labour minister so far this year is a close run thing between the Tartan Taxman and Traitor Bliar with the Tartan Taxman just out in front.  A predictable result but it doesn’t take much to swing the other way. Polls like this are entertaining but more entertaining is the mammoth [...]

Libertarian blogger, Rachel from North London, has been the victim of a sustained attack by a fruitcake stalker by the name of Felicity Jane Lowde, also known as “fjc”. FJC has been found guilty of stalking in her absence and is now wanted by the police.  She didn’t turn up to her trial because she [...]

Watched Shrewsbury get beaten by Bristol Rovers today on Sky Sports in the League 2 play-off finals. Shrewsbury scored within 3 minutes and dominated the game – especially in the second half where they had approaching three quarters possession and twice as many attempts on goal as Bristol.  But it wasn’t to be.  Bristol played really [...]

The Home Secretary, John Reid, is considering declaring a state fo emergency after 3 suspected terrorists have disappeared whilst subject to a control order. Control Orders are like tagging and ASBOs – the subject is told what they can and can’t do and the authorities take action if they breach conditions of the order.  This is [...]

Via: An Englishman’s Castle A Gurkha who won the Victoria Cross fighting the Japs during the Second World War and whose bravery earned him an invite to the Queen’s Coronation and tea with the Queen Mother, has been refused permission to live in the UK by British officials in Nepal. Apparently they considered that the Gurkha [...]

The Millibeast is planning to introduce a “pay as you throw” scheme in England to encourage recycling. He is due to publish his “England Waste Strategy” because he fears that England is falling behind the rest of Europe on recycling. The urge to force us to recycle as much as possible isn’t an environmental one, [...]

Via: An Englishmans Castle Up to 3 million households have RFID chips fitted to their wheelie bins which uniquely identify each bin and, with the aid of a database, link each bin to each household. The British government is paying its European masters billions of pounds in fines every year because recycling targets are being [...]

Our masters in Brussels have had another genius idea – capping the price of international mobile phone calls between EU member states. The European Federation has decided to put a cap on the amount of money an operator can charge roaming customers for making calls within the EU.  The small minority of mobile phone users [...]

The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Phillips, says that concerns amongst senior judges over their independence is so high that they have been unable to come to an agreement with the British government over the creation of a Justice Ministry. The Ministry will be headed up for the time being by the unelected Scottish Lord Chancellor [...]

Not much information in the Hansard on the Draft Local Transport Bill – no dissenters, no cries of “NO MANDATE” from the opposition benches. However, the Hansard for the bill does start thus: Draft Local Transport Bill The Secretary of State for Scotland (Mr. Douglas Alexander): I am today publishing a draft Local Transport Bill, [...]

The BBC has been accused of anti-English bias before and refuted those accusations. The BBC Have Your Say pages have been updated recently so you can see a history of your comments and their status (ie. whether they were published, unpublished or rejected). Below is a list of comments I’ve submitted through Have Your Say [...]

A Road Pricing bill is being put before Parliament today. This is despite the fact that 1.8 million signed a petition against it.  Despite the fact that the Secretary of State for Transport was elected in Scotland where this bill won’t apply.  Despite the fact that the argument for it is complete bollocks. According to the [...]
