I had a spare half an hour to play with Paint Shop Pro today and came up with the unofficial CEP wallpaper below …

I also produced quite a few St George’s Crosses with various effects on them if anyone’s interested. I have them in pspimage format but […]

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 should […]

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 dangerous at […]

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 the middle […]

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 is […]

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 at Britishness Brown’s speech.
The BBC […]

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 search powers for […]

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 English you […]

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 whole way […]

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 UN has […]

At age 9 he’s already got a better grasp of English politics than most adults.

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 have been […]

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 most bizarre […]

Donal Blaney, the 18 Doughty Street presenter, is obsessed with war.

I wonder, would he be so in favour of Operation Bomb […]

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 British […]

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 them voting […]

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 because […]

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 credit […]

English nurses have reluctantly accepted a revised pay deal that is inferior to that given to Scottish and Welsh nurses.

A revised deal has […]

Yet another Liebour MP has announced his forthcoming resignation.

The question is, why? Why are these senior […]

Northern Rock has had to take out an emergency loan from the Bank of England to restore liquidity. The bank, which is one of the biggest mortage lenders in England, has insisted that it isn’t insolvent but this hasn’t stopped people withdrawing their savings en-masse, making the situation even worse.

The media have finally caught up with the news that our masters in Federal Europe have, at least for the time being, given up on forced metrication in England.

That’s another thing to add to the list of suspicious activity.

Bit of a dilema - England are playing Israel in the football and the USA in the rugby.
Both matches should be a walkover, the rugby especially so, but which will be the best game?
Our teams both need to be careful when attacking though. A shove in the penalty area could very well see the Israeli’s […]

Madeline McCann’s mother is being held by the Portugese police as a suspect in her disappearance.
I haven’t blogged about Madeline McCann going missing because I’m very suspicious of the circumstances and everyone has been so hung up on the poor parents.
That said, the police are suspicious now and most people I think have accepted that […]

Blue Witch is urging people DON’T BUY FROM MESH COMPUTERS!

Nope, it’s not a joke - Eveshambles now have 8 first-line technicians working on repairs when they had 200 prior to going into administration.

My colleague’s Evesham laptop has now been with Eveshambles for 2 weeks and it still […]
