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 [...]
