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 [...]

Britishness Brown, the non-mandate British Prime Minister, was too busy to phone Steve McLaren to congratulate him on England’s 3-0 victory over Russia last week but managed to find the time to phone Alex McLeish, the Scottish manager, to congratulate him on their defeat of France on the same night. Even though No Mandate Brown professes to be [...]

Lord Darzi, appointed by No Mandate Brown to “reform” the English NHS, is aiming to get GP’s to see their patients out of hours. GP’s used to run out-of-hours surgeries but the British government gave them new contracts that allowed them to pass their obligations on to NHS Direct with a hefty pay rise to keep [...]

The UK has dropped from 3rd to 10th place in an OECD report on university graduates – we produce only 400,000 graduates a year now. What a surprise.  Could it be anything to do with the extortionate, discriminatory and racist fees charged for the 85% of the population that lives in England?  Of course not, it’s [...]

O2 have done a deal with Apple to become exclusive stockists of the iPhone in the UK. Apple said they wanted to do a deal with the best so they chose O2.  Interesting choice as they have the 3rd largest network in the UK behind Orange and Vodafone – only T-Mobile (formerly One2noOne) and 3 have [...]

Two men have been sentenced to 12 and 15 months in prison for spraying graffiti on a train. The actor Christopher Langham was recently given 10 months for downloading child porn off the internet. A few months ago I read a story in a paper about a man was given an ASBO for stealing 600 [...]

Microsoft has lost an appeal against a fine of $690m which the European Commission had imposed following an anti-trust suit. The European Court of First Instance dismissed the appeal and upheld the decision that Microsoft was abusing its market dominance by shipping Windows with Media Player built in. The European Commission has been bleating on about how [...]

The ironic thing about the whole Northern Rock saga is that the emergency loan they took from the Bank of England wasn’t actually a loan, it was an emergency credit line – an agreement to lend them money, not actually handing over the cash. Not only this, but they haven’t had to make use of the [...]

An audio message has appeared on the internet, apparently recorded by Abu Omar-al-Baghdadi who the Americans believe is leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, offering a reward for the murder of Lars Vilks. Vilks is the Swedish newspaper cartoonist who chooses to express his right to freedom of expression by publishing cartoons of the muslim prophet [...]

English nurses have reluctantly accepted a revised pay deal that is inferior to that given to Scottish and Welsh nurses. The original 2.5% pay increase was given to Scottish nurses in a single increase but nurses in England were expected to accept the increase in stages amounting to only a 1.9% net increase. A revised [...]

Yet another Liebour MP has announced his forthcoming resignation. John Reid, the Scottish former Home Secretary of England, has announced that he will resign at the next election along with Fatty Prescott.  Traitor Bliar has, of course, already disappeared into obscurity after finally doing the right thing and resigning. The question is, why?  Why are [...]
