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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, just remind me [...]

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 (including [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 as [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 he intends [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
