The Chief of Staff of the Zimbabwean Army has told soldiers that if they don’t intend voting for Robert Mugabe in the presidential run-off next month, they should hand in their uniform. The Zimbabwean army will be out in force with the police in the run-up to the presidential election run-off next month, as will [...]

The petition I started calling on the British government to commission a cost/benefit analysis on membership of Federal Europe now has 703 signatures. It has until the 24th of July before it closes so a thousand signatures at least would be nice.  If you haven’t already signed the petition, please do so now and then [...]

Just as the media have forgotten about the child from Handsworth that had been starved to death by her parents, another equally horrific story has made it into the news. A 6 year old boy and 5 year old girl have been stabbed to death – apparently by their parents – and their 6 month [...]

I’m undecided on Sepp Blatter’s plans to impose quotas on foreign players in football teams. On the plus side, it’s pissed off Federal Europe who have declared it illegal. On the negative side, anything involving Sepp Blatter must be a bad thing. On the plus side, it means English clubs will have to invest in [...]

Looks like the green lobby haven’t managed to bully the Shropshire Star into closing down the climate change debate yet … Every week there seems to be another report by a scientist of some description which is proclaimed as “further evidence” of climate change. There is no doubt that climate change is happening, it’s been [...]

No Mandate Brown is offering to bribe MPs to gain their support for 42 days internment. The bribe to Liebour MPs is the lesser of two bribes being offered – the reduction of the amount of time the Police can use the temporary powers from 60 days to 30 days and to reduce the time [...]

Princess Tony has promised to devote the rest of his life to uniting the world’s religions. What a shame he didn’t decide to devote his life to religion some time around 1998 once he’d started fucking the country up. Bliar reckons that religion can bring peace to the world and is even launching his own [...]

Via Guido, the Guardian has noticed that Liebour has £13m of loans due this year despite being on the verge of bankruptcy. They must be congratulated on their investigative journalism skills – after all, it only took them a week and a half to think of looking at the Electoral Commission website to see how [...]

Wonko’s World regular, KeithS, very kindly sent me a link to this article on the First Post website: Whatever happened to the climate change consensus? A very good question and an equally good article.  Excellent in fact. The First Post points out that whilst the IPPC report on climate change (the lead author of which [...]

This petition is pretty popular – over 89,000 people have signed calling on No Mandate Brown to reduce fuel duty. Definitely worth signing even though we all know it will be ignored.  The more the listening Prime Minister ignores petitions signed by tens or even hundreds of thousands of people, the bigger his defeat will [...]

I wonder, is the shadow Work & Pensions Secretary a closet reader of Wonko’s World?  Or did he perhaps co-incidentally come up with much the same policy that I proposed back in October for making unemployed people work? The only problem with their proposal is that it doesn’t go far enough. Technorati Tags: Conswervatives, Unemployment

Some of the details of what MPs were spending their second home allowances on were certainly an eye-opener.  Why No Mandate Brown needs the taxpayer to pay his Sky TV subscription as well as a £187k a year salary I don’t know, presumably he has an explanation as to why his £187k salary isn’t enough to [...]

Hundreds of hauliers are heading to both London and Cardiff to protest at obscene fuel prices. The Wales protest will be travelling from Llanelli to Cardiff and the London protest is going from Kent to London. The British government blames high oil prices for the price of fuel but this is bollocks – about 80% [...]

Yesterday Adobe Acrobat popped up and told me that there was an upgrade available and would I mind ever so much if it went ahead and installed the upgrade as it had been asking me for a few weeks. The upgrade was downloaded and the installer did its business. So did Spybot, asking me if [...]

Number 2 son had his final after-school golf lesson yesterday.  Well, when I say he had his final lesson, what I mean is he had half of it.  The other half was spent in the doctors’ surgery bleeding from the head wound caused by being hit at full swing with a golf club. The doctor [...]

Last night BBC News did a piece on a Canadian Arctic mission that has released video footage of large sections of ice breaking away which the BBC describes as evidence of climate change. Now let’s be very clear about this – it’s not evidence of climate change, it’s data. Yes, it may indicate that the [...]

Well, the predictable battering of Liebour in Crewe & Nantwich happened as predicted. And quite a battering it was too – a swing of about 14,000 votes. Now, much is being said about the by-election and how the political balance will look come the general election as a result but it’s important to put this [...]

I saw this outside the toilet door at work and had to take a picture.  Inspired. Technorati Tags: John Terry, Funny

That Tory Toff, Iain Dale, he’s a card. Under the title “UKIP: Going nowhere in Crewe” is this picture: The Land Rover there belongs to Councillor Jill Seymour who took time out from running her business with her husband to take the Land Rover from Telford to Crewe to support the UKIP candidate, Mike Nattrass.  [...]

A couple from Handsworth have been charged with child neglect after starving their six children. Police and ambulance crews took away the six emaciated children 4 days ago but one died in hospital. One neighbour said she used to throw bread out for the birds but then the childrens’ stepfather, Junaid Abuhamza (is Abu Hamza [...]

Tamsin Dunwoody, the granddaughter of Baroness Norah Phillips and daughter of Doctor John Dunwoody, has defended her election campaign which is based almost entirely on telling the people of Crewe & Nantwich that they should vote for her because the Conswervative candidate is a rich and successful lawyer. She said: I don’t have a £53m [...]

WHAT’S GOOD ENOUGH FOR WALES IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ENGLAND! – MULHOLLAND Embargo: Immediate, Tuesday 20th May 2008 Greg Mulholland, MP for Leeds North West, has said that, after the Welsh National Anthem was played alongside God Save the Queen at Wembley at the weekend to mark the fact that Cardiff City made the final, [...]

Following yesterday’s revelation in the press that Liebour is on the brink of bankruptcy, I did some digging of my own. According to the list of loans at the Electoral Commission’s website, Liebour has almost £13m of loans due for repayment this year. It also transpires that in quarter 4 of last year, even the [...]

I’ve been wearing my braces every day like a good boy, as much as I’d love to chuck the bloody things in a cupboard and forget about them. I’ve been wearing them for about an hour a day but today I managed to keep them on for about 3 hours.  When I took them off [...]

Today I have finally arrived in the world of blogging. No, I haven’t been offered a book deal or a newspaper column or a blog on the BBC. I have … wait for it … I’ve been insulted by Pigdogfucker.  It’s terribly exciting to have been verbally abused from someone so close to God.  Not [...]

The Chief Constable of Cheshire, Peter Fahey, has said that “whispering campaigns” might be happening to prevent black or asian police officers from getting promoted and has called for a “fairer” system to ensure more of them get promotions. Fahey has previously called for a change in the law so that police forces will be [...]

The Commons Scottish Affairs Committee of British MPs has decided that responsibility for holding ballots should not be transferred to the Scottish Parliament. They cited the lack of faith amongst the electorate for the electronic voting system used in Scotland as a reason for keeping the responsibility with the British government’s Scottish Office. Alex the [...]

The Birmingham Post is claiming that a Tory plan to strip Regional Development Agencies of some of their powers will damage the economy of the West Midlands and centralise decision making. This is absolute nonsense. Removing the regional quangocracy will empower local communities, increase democratic accountability in the decision-making process and could provide a vital [...]

The Liebour Party is on the verge of bankruptcy and needs an extra £4m funding before auditors will sign off its accounts as a going concern. In 1997 Liebour had 400,000 paying members, today they have less than 200,000. In the last quarter of 2007 they had £2.86m in funding from members, in the first [...]
