English lose out in funding of health
Tom Taylor, chief executive of the Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust, has confirmed what the Shropshire branch of the Campaign for an English Parliament has been saying for the last couple of years: Treating Welsh patients in Shropshire hospitals is costing millions of pounds that could be spent […]
I think my MP, David Wright, has been inspired by the Leader of Scottish Liebour, Wendy “I’m going to expose the dishonesty of the SNP but please don’t mention the fact I got caught taking illegal donations” Alexander.
He makes all the right noises, of course - he’ll look at the proposal and make the case […]
The system of illegal and unconstitutional summary justice in the form of parking fines has been “reformed” but still has no legal legitimacy.
The Bill of Rights says that “any promise of fine or forfeiture before conviction is illegal and void” - a traffic warden, police officer or private contactor are not judges or juries and any on-the-spot […]
The son of a former police officer has escaped a ban for careless driving after being clocked at up to 135mph.
The same magistrates court at Ludlow, Shropshire that let off the Telford policeman who accidently videoed himself doing 149mph in his new police car has given Adam Stammers 8 points on his licence and a £200 […]
According to the Times, Gordon Brown is planning to create a network of London-type mayors in the “English regions” to combat Englishness and promote the Britishness agenda he has become obsessed since being parachuted into the post of Prime Minister without a mandate.
England has always been considered expendable by the Labour Party, hence their willingness to embrace […]
Bob Peedle, Chairman of the Royal Society of St George, has criticised Wayne Rooney for not singing the British national anthem before England games.
Apparently, Rooney doesn’t know the words which Peedle thinks is disgraceful and has offered to teach them to him.
The Royal Society of St George is there to promote England and the Commonwealth, singing […]
The Queen has cancelled plans to thrown a party to celebrate her Diamond Wedding Anniversary.
According to the Daily Mail, she has cancelled the party because she thought it insensitive when her subjects are suffering from the credit crunch and the country is on the brink of recession.
This won’t go down well with Prudence Brown who […]
The Lords Constitution Committee has said that the EU not-a-constitution does not have any constitutional implications for UK citizenship.
They cite the clauses specifically setting out the right of a member state to withdraw as “evidence” that parliamentary sovereignty remains intact. Bullshit. As it stands now, we have the right to withdraw whenever and however we […]
Wendy Alexander has addressed the Scottish Liebour spring gathering and told them that she will lead them to victory in the Scottish Parliament. Yeah, right.
In a characteristic display of utter hypocrisy, she said that she “will lead by exposing the dishonesty of the SNP”. Dishonesty of the SNP? Sorry Wendy Love, […]
I went to watch Telford United today. As a Shrewsbury Town fan I should, strictly speaking, only venture into Telford’s ground with a can of petrol and a box of matches but my employer sponsors the club and we got a box for free so I bit the bullet and went with my colleagues […]
Iain Dale has published the results of a survey to find out who people would give a second vote to at the next election if the voting system was changed.
Bear in mind that his readership is predominantly Conswervative supporting but the results are encouraging, especially if you’re a UKIP supporter!
In total, 63.6% of people said […]
Via This World is Boldly Going Nowhere, a woman has been hauled in front of a judge for shoplifting … for the 175th time.
Apparently it has cost the taxpayer £700k to prosecute this woman for her unfortunate habit and yet she’s still managed to escape going to prison.
Wonder why she keeps on doing it. […]
According to a MORI poll, Scottish MPs interfering in English affairs that they have no control over in their own constituencies is the constitutional cock-up that causes most dissatisfaction.
Prompted by Gareth, I sent the following to the Ministry of Injustice:
Hi,
I gather that a MORI poll has confirmed what everybody’s known for a long time but […]
In the 80s we were all going to die in an ice age. In the 90s we were all going to die from acid rain. In the 00s we are all going to die from global warming. So what will the apocalyptic non-event for the 10s be?
Cast your vote in the poll below:
A Texas man has been given 25 years in prison for microwaving a baby.
Joshua Maudlin apparently has a history of lying about being mentally ill and guess what his defence was … yup, he was insane when he put his daughter in the microwave for 20 seconds causing second and third degree burns to her […]
Alex the Salmon, First Minister of Scotland, has proposed a referendum on the future of governance of Scotland with two questions - enhanced devolution or independence.
The Conswervative and Unionist Party, Liebour and the Illiberal Dumbocrats have all shrieked hysterically that it’s “the wild words of a panicking man” and an “attempt to drag an unwilling […]
Gordo the Goblin King and his cabinet of all the talentless are giving their support to electoral “reform” that would have seen a swing of over 50 seats from the Conswervatives to Liebour, leaving them with an unassailable lead in perpetuity.
Let’s be very clear about this, politicians should have no involvement in this type of […]
The global warming propagandists are plying their trade again with the BBC more than happy to spread their propaganda for them.
According to this piece of startling, in your face reporting, the Wilkins Ice Shelf “hangs by a thread” and this huge piece of ice the size of the Isle of Man is on the brink […]
The National Union of Teachers (NUT) has suggested that religious “leaders” - priests, immams, rabbis, etc. - should be invited into schools to provide religious instruction.
I won’t go over the rights and wrongs of the NUT getting involved in this kind of thing or the role already played by religious “leaders” in schools because His […]
No Mandate Brown is appealing to “middle England” to support more devolution for Scotland and support the union.
The One Eyed Wonder of Wankistan says that the UK is “the world’s most successful multi-national state” but that the union isn’t “a contract of convenience that can be renegotiated”. Multi-national or multi-regional? Remember, as far […]
No Mandate Brown is grinning and giggling to himself over a report that says all British government buildings should be encouraged to fly the British flag to promote Britishness.
The British government is responsible for a relatively small number of public buildings in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland but most belong to their devolved assemblies, particularly […]
Regular readers will know that I’m a big Terry Pratchett fan and that he’s been diagnosed with a rare form of Alzheimers.
Terry donated $1m to Alzheimers research not long ago after discovering how badly underfunded it is.
Since then a website has been set up by a fan, Match It For Pratchett, with the aim of […]
For years ethnic minority groups have accused the Police of institutional discrimination - now it’s the turn of the majority to make the same accusation.
Former soldier, Craig Briggs, has wanted to join the Police since he was a child and joined the army to get some experience before applying. After serving 4 and a […]
The following letter appeared (very belatedly) in the Shropshire Star last night:
MPs ought to pay for EU treaty treachery
MPs vote not to give us a referendum on the EU Reform Treaty by 311 to 248, this is despite all three main parties promising a referendum.
Labour and the Lib Dems both claim that the EU Reform […]
Alistair Darling, King of the Caterpillars, gave his first budget the other day. I really didn’t have the energy to give it the fisking it deserved but needless to say it was shit. More taxes and £14bn of extra government borrowing over the next two years to pay for whatever crap it is […]
The following letter has been sent to the press in the West Midlands and Shropshire MPs:
Tom Taylor, Chief Executive of the Shrewsbury & Telford NHS Trust, has confirmed what the Shropshire branch of the Campaign for an English Parliament has been saying for the last couple of years – that treating Welsh patients in Shropshire […]
A lot of people I talk to were of the opinion that Camoron would ditch the proposed English Votes on English Matters/English Grand Committee idea once they got into power. How wrong they were.
David Cameron is poised to draw back from proposing to slap an all-out ban on Scottish MPs debating and voting on so-called […]
On the Our Kingdom blog, Tom Griffin opines that the DUP will support Liebour in its attempt to increase the amount of time the British state can detain you without charge from 28 days to 42 days.
This would be a bizarre stance for a Northern Irish party to take, particularly when internment was such an […]
I just looked up Orange’s international calling rates to see how much my 20 minute phone call to the Netherlands cost earlier.
Two questions:
Why is it cheaper (30p/min) to call the USA than it is to ring the Netherlands (45p/min) and why is it cheaper (25p/min) to ring of a pay as you go mobile?
I wish […]
The following article appears in tonight’s Shropshire Star:
Concern grows on ‘health apartheid’
A member of a Shropshire political group has criticised the “health apartheid” of the NHS, which he claims is responsible for county patients receiving poorer services that those in Scotland and Wales.
Stuart Parr, of the Shropshire branch of the Campaign for an English Parliament, […]
The following was in tonight’s Shropshire Star:
Claims City Region costs won’t be fair
People in Telford will be paying on average substantially more towards the controversial West Midlands City Region than their counterparts in Birmingham, campaigners claimed today.
The operating cots of the city region will be divided into 10 equal shares - meaning the one million […]
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Information provided to the West Midlands NO! Campaign following a Freedom of Information Request has raised some serious questions about the City Region.
The City Region will not be funded on a pro-rata basis as previously thought, but by simply dividing the costs into 10 equal shares. This means, for example, Birmingham’s 1m residents […]
Terry Pratchett is donating $1m to Alzheimers research after being diagnosed with Posterior Cortical Atrophy, a rare form of the disease.
He said:
Personally, I’d eat the arse out of a dead mole if it offered a fighting chance.
I am, along with many others, scrabbling to stay ahead long enough to be there when the cure comes […]
The Centre for Ecology and Hydrology has concluded that the floods last year were nothing to do with climate change despite the hysterical wailing of eco-terrorists and the British government that we only have ourselves to blame.
In response to the report, the Environment Agency has admitted that the floods had nothing to do with climate […]
West Midlands UKIP MEP, Mike Natrass, was heckled in the European Parliament for suggesting that MEPs should use the integrated tram system that stops outside the parliament building instead of turning up in 50 chauffeur-driven limo’s.
He made his comments during a “debate” on Sustainable European Transport Policy when they were talking about EU taxes on […]
Lord Goldsmith, the former British Attorney General, has told No Mandate Brown that children should have to go through a citizenship ceremony when they leave school and pledge alliegence to the Queen like they do in the US to their flag to promote Britishness.
The Scottish government have, of course, rejected this out of hand and […]
Once again the British government has promised severe weather and once again we’ve been let down.
Several times in the last few months the Met Office and Environment Agency have made promises that they can’t keep - catastrophic winds, apocalyptic downpours and floods of a biblical nature. Have any of them happened? No. Once again the […]
Terry Pratchett’s first ever Discworld book, The Colour of Magic, has been made into a film and is being shown on Sky One over Easter.
I was really looking forward to it so I had a look at the Colour of Magic website and was surprised (and disappointed) to see that Twoflower is being played by Sean Astin, an American. Twoflower is […]
Tim at An Englishman’s Castle calls on bloggers to reproduce the following declaration issued by 500 climatologists and other experts in the field of climate change which I am now doing with great pleasure. The fucking climate change propagandist turds need putting in a box and shipping off to some backwater shit-hole (no, not […]
The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning for all of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and for Southern Scotland.
The forecast is for Force 10 to 11 storms around the coast with winds of up to 80mph expected in coastal, exposed and hilly areas.
You can check the forecast for your local area on the Met […]
I have a great deal of respect for Iain Dale, I really do. He supports the wrong party but he’s carved a career out of political commentating largely thanks to his blog and, of course, he’s shown impeccable taste in giving me awards for the last two years on the trot.
However, this […]
I went to the dentist on Friday after putting up with toothache for a few days.
I have a bit of a phobia of dentists. By the time I’d finished I’d left finger marks on my hand from clasping my hands together while I was having a filling.
I left feeling quite pleased with myself - […]
England have lost to Scotland in the Six Nations.
I don’t mind England losing (I’d rather we didn’t of course) just as long as it’s not to Scotland!

Tom Yeo, the Conswervative MP for Suffolk South, introduced a private members bill to get the clocks put forward one hour to save lives and energy and increase leisure and social time.
As with previous attempts by various MPs the bill failed with the usual arguments being put forward - the farmers won’t like it and […]
On Monday I pointed out two examples of NHS discrimination in England.
The third example of NHS discrimination this week was announced today - the price of a prescription in England will rise to £7.10 per item.
Meanwhile, in Scotland prescription charges are capped at £5 with 93% being dispensed free of charge. In Wales, all prescriptions […]
Crosby sets out 10 ID principles – Home Office scheme breaks all of them
The government has finally published the report of Sir James Crosby, who was commissioned by Gordon Brown when chancellor [1], to study identity management. Crosby’s conclusions set out 10 clear principles for the design of a “consumer-driven universal ID assurance system” […]
The British government has announced its intention to shut down England’s radio telescope array, Jodrell Bank.
The Science & Technology Fund is facing an £80m shortfall in its budget which it intends to plug by cutting funding. So far, £8m of taxpayers money has been spent on the e-Merlin project which is an upgrade to the […]
Andy “Anyone But England” Murray has been beaten again and almost got censured for swearing.
