Well. My first guest-post at Wonkoville. It’d make a change if I was going to say something nice (by way of variety), but I’m not. I’m going to have a little moan about Shropshire Council and a man called Paul Masterman. The following story was in a recent issue of Private Eye: SHROPSHIRE BAD Is [...]

I’m off on my jollies for a week, see you soon. There might be a guest post or two while I’m away so keep checking. If anything goes dramatically wrong, please contact a Witanagemot blog (list in the sidebar). Technorati Tags: Holiday

The English Democrats Party, campaigning in Henley, have been forced by the Police to remove a table bedecked with red and white bunting, citing a local by-law that they have so far failed to provide any details of.  As the English flag is their logo, this makes it understandably difficult for them to go about [...]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – nobody stands a chance of winning a by-election but the Conswervative at the moment. John Howell took 56.95% of the vote and ended up with nearly a 10,000 vote majority. Liebour came fifth and lost his deposit, being beaten by the Illiberal Dumbocrats, the Green [...]

Bit of a strange one here.  A couple of weeks ago a rumour circulated very quickly in Telford of an attempted abduction in the local Chavda supermarket of a young girl by a couple of Poles. The Police immediately issued a statement which was published in the local paper, the Shropshire Star, saying it was [...]

I’ve just had an email from the Number 10 propaganda department telling me about all the wonderful things our Prime Minister has been doing.  One of the things in it was a link to an “EU Summit minisite”. I clicked on the link to see what it was all about and it came up with [...]

Not last night but the night before, two dead men came knocking at my door I was out walking the dog when I was treated to the sight of a couple of chavs in their poxy little hatchbacks racing two-abreast round the perimeter road of the housing estate I live on.  They were still two-abreast [...]

Straight from the horses mouth, Harriet Harman wants companies to practice discrimination when considering similar applications for jobs: They might think we don’t want an all male team. We’ve got a new post coming up, we’ve got equally qualified men and women going for it, we are going to pick the woman because we want [...]

Stuart Wheeler has lost his court case to stop the ratification of the EU not-a-constitution. Sadly (but not surprisingly) the judge ruled that the British govenment was perfectly entitled to lie in its manifesto and that the contract it makes with the electorate in the run-up to an election isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. [...]

A friend of mine has just got back from a week in Strasbourg and said the thing that stuck most in her mind from the whole trip was the vote on the harmonisation of road signs which would have the effect of changing all our road signs to metric. Only 8 MEPs voted against the [...]

Minutes after receiving an acknowledgement from West Mercia Police for my Freedom of Information request on Common Purpose, someone from West Mercia does a Google search for me and takes a look at this blog. The guidelines published by the Information Commissioner say that FOI requests should be identity and motive blind so why are [...]

Wimbledon is upon us again – another few weeks of boredom and seemingly endless coverage of some people hitting a ball at each other at 3,000mph. Andy Murray was in the papers at the weekend telling us how terribly upset he is that people think he’s anti-English because his gran lives in Newcastle and it [...]

I wondered why so many people were coming here looking for information on Common Purpose and now I think I know. I had a phone call this evening from a complete stranger telling me things about Common Purpose and the existance of a list of people who are taking an interest in Common Purpose that [...]

Morgan Tsvangirai has pulled out of the presidential election run-off in Zimbabwe to protect his supporters from the torture and murder that Mugabe’s supporters have been dishing out. Sanctions aren’t working – they’re hurting Zimbabwean people but not Mugabe, he still has the support of the military, the police and ZanuPF milita.  What is needed [...]

The owner of the Shetland island of Papa Stour (renamed by it’s owner, Forvik) has declared its independence of the British government and the EU. A lot of Shetland Islanders believe that the legal status of the Shetlands is that of Crown Dependency as they have never formally been incorporated into the UK.  The islands [...]

The Netherlands’ performance in the first three games of Euro 2008 was a small consolation for England getting knocked out in the qualifying stages and now those damn Ruskies have spoilt it! Russia, unbelievably, beat the Netherlands 3-1. Ah well, no more football for me.  The Dutch are the only team in the competition I [...]

Tonight’s episode of Dr Who, broadcast on BBC1, had a scene which portrayed the English as racists, likening them to the Nazi’s. The scene in question shows an Italian family being loaded into the back of a truck to be taken to a forced labour camp.  The Italian man says “you know how it is, [...]

Tom Wise, the independent MEP has been arrested for allegedly obtaining money by deception. Wise was elected as an MEP for UKIP but was expelled from the party last year. The fact he’s now an independent MEP and nothing to do with UKIP hasn’t stopped Illiberal Dumbocrat blogger, Norfolk Blogger, from using the story for [...]

The High Court judge hearing Stuart Wheeler’s legal challenge to the British government’s refusal to hold the promised referendum on the EU not-a-constitution has written to the Treasury’s lawyers asking them to delay ratification of the not-a-constitution until after he has given his judgement. This is a long overdue slapping down for El Gordo who [...]

A report from the US National Snow & Ice Data Centre says that 2008 started with more Arctic sea ice than the start of 2007 but it is now down to the area covered this time last year.  It says that the extra ice was thin so it melted quickly. The BBC is trying to [...]

The House of Lords have approved the ratification of the EU not-a-constitution. The Illiberal Eurocrats supported Liebour in pushing through the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty even though it cannot legally be brought into force and in defiance of their manifesto promise to support a referendum. Fucking traitors. Technorati Tags: Traitors, EU Constitution, Federal Europe

I know it must seem like I’m a stat-obsessed glory hunter but I’m not, really! It’s interesting to know who is visiting and how they get here.  Seeing a visit from Common Purpose was interesting, of course, and there are a lot of universities and colleges that appear on the list.  Don’t think these lot [...]

Frederick Forsyth, the author of a Conswervative commission on UK armed forces policy, has said that up to 60 servicemen have died because the British government failed to provide them with adequate kit. Years of underinvestment and billions wasted during El Gordo’s reign at the Treasury on stupid schemes that came to nothing has resulted in [...]

Looking at the browser stats for Wonko’s World, it seems that the newly released Firefox 3 is proving pretty popular – 124 visitors have used Firefox 3 so far despite the first release candidate being available for only a month. By way of comparison, only 88 people have visited using Opera since I started using [...]

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.  Even LiebourHome is indulging in a spot of schadenfreude at the expense of their party. Apparently, El Gordo has invited members to underwrite Liebour’s debts after getting confirmation that he and the other 32 members of the National Executive Council are liable for Liebour’s debts, including the £12m that [...]

I’ve been debating internment and the Terrorism Act with my councillor, George Ashcroft, over at his place. Despite being a Conswervative, he supports the detention without trial of “terrorism” suspects for a month and a half. I’ve pointed out some serious flaws in the Terrorism Act such: Section 3 says that if you use a [...]

Federal Europe is in a bit of a quandary at the moment.  That pesky Irish constitution won’t let them impose their constitution on an unwilling populace so what can they do? Well, the Romanian social-democrat group gives us a clue in the European Weekly: The referendum in Ireland has demonstrated that direct democracy (by way [...]

Sarah asked in the comments to this post if UKIP’s MP, Bob Spink, had voted against UKIP party policy and what UKIP members think about it. Well, the answer is yes, he voted against UKIP policy and what do members think about it?  Well, I for one am not happy that he voted for 42 [...]

The Irish have rejected the EU not-a-constitution by 53.4% to 46.6%. Most constituencies rejected the not-a-constitution but there were some very close calls – one constituency had a majority “No” vote of only 132. This will be a blow to Federal Europe because now they have to throw sufficient cash and thinly veiled threats at [...]
