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 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 [...]

Federal Europe is currently working on plans to fine car manufacturers for every vehicle they produce that exceeds the finger in the air figure of 130g/km of Carbon Dioxide emissions.

The belligerence within the English tradition is still a fresh memory and for some people the national flag is associated with football violence.

My useless Liebour MP, David Wright, has thrown his teddy out of his pram after a spoof blog was set up in his name. It was pretty obvious it was a spoof but there were a lot of comments from people who thought it was real and comments saying they didn’t agree with him but [...]
