Political Compass

Always worth checking from time to time …

Tony Blair is a real hero

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 months […]

Smokers to get more help quitting

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 said […]

BBC - Brown-nose Broadcasting Corporation

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 of the Brown […]

Spot the difference

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 ticking […]

Free care for the elederly in NI

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 in […]

Mugabe strikes again

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 51% […]

Email to Chinese Embassy

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

We are not amused

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 Schools […]

Shropshire Star: Brown has no place as our PM

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 more important reason […]

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.

SNP pledge to abolish council tax in Scotland

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 time.
According […]

Shrewsbury passport & ID interrogation centre found

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 up to […]

I am not a number …

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 […]

Worst Labour Minister so far this year: update

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 slanging […]

Watch out, there’s a stalker about!

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 believes […]

What a stroke of genius …

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 well […]

Right to Liberty to be suspended?

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 fine […]

Gurkha refused permission to live in UK

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 doesn’t have […]

Millibeast singles out English over recycling

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, it is […]

Chip ‘n’ Bin

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 missed.  One […]

Another genius idea from the EUssr

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 who […]

Judges refuse to back Justice Ministry

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 of […]

Draft Local Transport Bill - Hansard

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, for public consultation and […]

BBC Bias

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 either […]

Road Pricing Bill before Parliament

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 British government, […]

Parliamentary Secrecy Bill

Parliament has decided to give itself immunity from the Freedom of Information Act.
The reason given was that it would protect the privacy of individuals who write to MPs and Ministers but this is a crock of shit.  The law already protects privacy of individuals - personally identifiable information has to be removed before being disclosed.
This […]

What is Gordon planning for Scotland?

“No Mandate” Brown has told us all his domestic policies:

Education
The NHS
Affordable housing
Safe, secure and affordable communities
Building trust in democracy

Education is devolved, the NHS is devolved, housing is devolved, planning is devolved.  So what’s “No Mandate” Brown going to do for Scotland - the place where he was elected?  Building trust in democracy?  How’s he planning […]

Wanted: Baggies -v- Derby tickets

Not for me - I’m not a glory hunting yam yam - but for my boss, a deluded West Brom fan.
He’s looking for a pair of tickets for next Mondays match.
If anyone can get hold of a couple of tickets he’d be most grateful.

SNP take power in Scotland

Alex Salmond has come to an agreement with the Greens in Scotland to become the first Scottish nationalist First Minister.
This is good news for those who would gladly see tha back of Scotland but don’t get too enthusiastic - the SNP will be forming a minority administration and any attempt to hold an independence referendum […]

Traitor MEP

The English Demcorats have exposed an English MEP as a traitor.
Andrew Duff, the eurofederalist Illiberal Democrat MEP for the Eastern euroregion, says that England, Poland, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands are standing in the way of a united Europe.
He goes on to say that “If the English can be defeated then the opposition in Prague […]

“No Mandate” Brown

Gordon Brown - or “No Mandate” Brown as I will refer to him from now on - is unopposed as Leader of the Labour Party and will be the next Prime Minister.
I know I might sound like an old scratched record but I really can’t say this often enough - Gordon Brown has no mandate.
He doesn’t […]

Tony has a dream

Appartently Traitor Bliar is walking out of Downing Street and into a set of book and lecutre circuit deals worth an estimated £40m.  He also plans to set up a charitable trust dedicated to world peace and will be working on bringing together Israel and Palestine.
Strangely, I’m reminded of Ali G and his North Korea/South Korea sketch.  ”I […]

End of an era

Just to show you that I can talk about something other than politics, let me just give a brief mention to the passing of an institution - the Gay Meadow.
No longer will English football have a resident fisherman ready to retrieve lost footballs from the River Severn and football addicts will have to find a new […]

Green Gordon

The Tartan Taxman is overstepping the mark again and proposing yet more policies for England for which he has no mandate.
To show us his green credentials he’s decided that we should build 5 eco-towns housing 100,000 people in carbon neutral homes built on old industrial estates.
Gordon Brown, of course, can only propose these new lentil […]

Another Patientline scam

Patientline, the rip-off provider of over-priced TV and phone services in hospitals, has a new scam - charging for headphones.
TVs have been taken off wards, the old piped radio system has been turned off and payphones have been taken away forcing patients to pay stupid amounts of money to watch TV, listen to the radio […]

Victory for common sense

The European Federation has finally caved in to pressure and abandoned its plans to outlaw imperial measurements.
If the EU had gone ahead with its forced metrication programme it would have made any expression of imperial measurments illegal, whether they were in an instruction book, a letter in a newspaper or the rough jottings of a […]

Brown for Britain?

Gordon Brown has launched his leadership campaign with the slogan “Gordon Brown for Britain” and based on two policies - health and education.
When Gordon Brown was elected in Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbeath, did his constituents elect him because of his policies on health and education?  No, they didn’t.  That’s because he doesn’t have a say in […]

Apology accepted

Traitor Blair is resigning with effect from June 27th.
In his resignation speech he says that he has been “very blessed” to lead “the greatest nation on earth”.  We all know that in New Liebour-speak England isn’t a nation so that leaves Wales and Scotland.  So which nation has Tony been leading for the last 10 […]

BBC confusing England and Britain again

The BBC are confusing England and Britain again.  In this story about the poor availability of cancer drugs they keep referring to the UK when they actually mean England.
England doesn’t have access to the best cancer drugs because they’re so expensive.  They are, however, quite often available in the rest of the UK at the […]

NI demonstrates the benefits of devolution

The Northern Ireland Assembly has only been reinstated for 2 days and already they’re demonstrating the benefits of devolution - benefits that we English are being denied by the anti-English, British establishment.
There is, of course, the “peace dividend” - a large pot of cash that the Tartan Taxman kindly donated from English taxes to sweeten […]

Apparently I’m a councillor

I’m not sure if Telford & Wrekin Council are trying to tell me something but according to their website I’m due to attend the upcoming full council meeting as a councillor.
Perhaps this is Liebours secret plan for the next election - rather than elect the people who get most votes, the candidates that come last win!
It […]

John Reid will resign with Tony

John Reid has announced that he will resign from the cabinet when Tony Bliar resigns as Prime Minister.  The search is on for a suitable Scottish replacement to run the Home Office.
Don’t worry though, he’s still got plenty of time to screw us over before he leaves.  Next week his changes to the Home Office […]

Murder in Shropshire

A police officer has been murdered in Shrewsbury, Shropshire.  The murder then went on to kill himself.
Shrewsbury is only a few miles from me here in Telford and this kind of event is very rare.
The murder took place in New Park Road in the Castlefields area of town, a mile or so from the town […]
