I had a spare half an hour to play with Paint Shop Pro today and came up with the unofficial CEP wallpaper below …   Widescreen (1440 x 900)   Regular (1280 x 1024)   I also produced quite a few St George’s Crosses with various effects on them if anyone’s interested.  I have them [...]

The Tories are pushing English Votes on English Legislation (EVoEL), their “answer” to the West Lothian Question. The West Lothian Question (WQL) was first posed by Tam Dalyell, MP for West Lothian in Scotland during a debate on devolution.  The Question is whether it is right that MP’s elected in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland [...]

England showed some real talent at times during tonight’s match against Tonga – it was a pleasure to watch. Tonga scored first from a penalty, England equalised and then Tonga scored a try.  It was looking a bit dodgy at first but England settled in and played some quality rugby. That said, Tonga were very [...]

I went to a public meeting last night on the future of Telford Town Park. We’re quite fortunate in Telford in that when the town was built back in the 60′s, a huge amount of park land was given to the town with a covenent designating it as a park. However, wide open spaces in [...]

There is much speculation on a general election date with strong evidence that it’s going ot be delcared soon. However, I have a big problem with the system.  Why is it up to the One Eyed Wonder of Wankistan to decide when to hold an election?  Why should the ruling party dictate when an election [...]

The BBC is never usually this blatant in their bias towards the ruling Liebour dictatorship but this just takes the piss. In their reactions to No Mandate Brown’s speech they chose: Four Liebour MP’s Seven union leaders Two hippies (Greenpeace & CND) The only negative reaction was, of course, from the two hippies – everyone else was gushing [...]

This morning I asked “What will Brown be doing to England“?  Tonight I’m asking, “What will Brown be doing to Scotland”? What was in Britishness Brown’s speech today? Well, he’s promised to stand up for schools* and hospitals* and British values*.  He also wants to build 10 new “eco-towns”*. He wants to increase stop and [...]

Google search results are notable fickle with the top match changing a couple of times a day as a site starts to challenge the top match.  A couple of times today the top result for “Schillings“, the lawyers at the centre of the Alisher Usmanov censorship battle, has turned up a couple of websites closed [...]

The BBC tells us what No Mandate Brown is planning to announce in his Liebour Party Conference speech. He’s going to be backing greater use of stop and search by the Police.  Doesn’t apply in Scotland. He’s going to cut cancer waiting lists so you can have longer to accept the fact that because you’re [...]

The All Blacks gave Scotland a going over in the rugby today with Scotland failing to score. Thank god we’re not going to be the only home nation to get a wooden spoon! The most interesting thing about the whole game was the atmosphere.  Or lack of it – the crowd were virtually silent the [...]

The British government is preparing a submission to the United Nations on the Limits of the Continental Shelf to extend the territorial waters to up to 350 miles out from the coast. The seabed surrounding the Falklands is thought to be a large, untapped source of oil and gas. Many countries are preparing submissions as the [...]

#1 is turning out to be a chip off the old block – he got elected to his school council this week and then got elected as council secretary. At age 9 he’s already got a better grasp of English politics than most adults. #2 tried for school council as well but just missed out [...]

This video needs no comentary. How anyone, having watched this video, can advocate anything other than home rule for England is beyond me. When the revolution comes, this video will go down in history … Hat-tip: The CEP

This appeared on the Channel 4 News website yesterday:  As Roman Abramovich gets his man at Chelsea, another Russian oligarch is making waves at Arsenal. Alisher Usmanov, who this week increased his stake in Arsenal to 21 per cent, has taken exception to some of the fans’ websites repeating allegations first aired by the former [...]

The big supermarkets are being investigated following claims of price-fixing on dairy products. It is alleged that supermarkets are conspiring to keep the price of dairy products – milk, cheese, yoghurts, etc. – artificially high. Whether I agree with them or not depends on one thing – who is benefiting from the inflated prices?  Supermarkets [...]

Minge Campbell, the geriatric leader of the Illiberal Democrats, is facing not so subtle challenges to his leadership of the party. Sir Minge said that his age wasn’t an issue but that he would make it an issue at the next election because “With Age Comes Experience, with age comes … erm … with er …” Senility?  [...]

Illiberal Dumbasscrat blog, Quaequam, is attempting to explain why an English Parliament is bad and why English people should submit to having their nationality and national identity abolished and their country broken up and lost forever. This one is particularly entertaining in that the author really does seem to believe his somewhat bizarre claims, the [...]

Veteran bloggers Tim Ireland, Bob Piper and Boris Johnson have had their sites pulled by their ISP’s for criticising Alisher Usmanov, the alleged dodgy geezer who is trying to buy Arsenal football club. People who have been into the blogging scene for a while will know that things like this have happened a few times in the past [...]

Number one got himself invested as a Cub Scout tonight …     

Donal Blaney, the 18 Doughty Street presenter, is obsessed with war. Barely a day goes by where his programmes don’t have some reference to the US Democrats wanting to “give up and run away” from Iraq or the need to bomb Iran into the stone age. I wonder, would he be so in favour of [...]
