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 there anywhere the […]

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 Party and […]

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 just […]

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 the […]

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 to have […]

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.
The result […]

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 measure […]

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 was […]

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 is […]

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 were […]

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.

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, England […]

Tom Wise, the independent MEP has been arrested for allegedly obtaining money by deception.

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 clearly […]

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.

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.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Even LiebourHome is indulging in a spot of schadenfreude at the expense of their party.

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?

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 the Irish […]

The Irish Times is reporting that the “Yes” vote has rallied, particularly in Dublin where early indications showed consistent a 60/40 “No” but the result is still looking likely to be a “No”.
The “Yes” camp has already conceded defeat in Mayo and Galway West.

Early indications from yesterday’s Irish referendum on the EU not-a-constitution are that the result will be “No”.
The result looks to be very close but overall there is a trend toward a “No” vote, particularly in Dublin where all constituencies have so far returned a consistent 60-40 “No” vote.

315 traitors assembled in the cradle of democracy to vote for the detention without trial of “terrorist” suspects for a month and a half.
They ignored the fact that it is unconstitutional and illegal and voted to deprive citizens of their constitutional right to freedom from arbitrary detention.
So what does it mean for us “normal” people? […]

The judges hearing Stuart Wheeler’s judicial review into Liebour’s refusal to hold a referendum on the EU not-a-constitution have reserved judgement, promising to make their judgement “as soon as possible”.
They haven’t ruled that not holding a referendum is illegal but they also haven’t ruled that not holding one is legal. It is very unlikely that […]

Tomorrow, British MPs will vote on the unconstitutional internment of “terrorism” suspects for up to a month and a half.
The former Atorney General, Lord Cashpoint Goldsmith says that there is no evidence to support the British government’s claim that locking someone up without charge for a month isn’t long enough.
The Director of Public Prosecutions, Sir […]

Robert Mugabe has banned international aid agencies from operating in Zimbabwe, accusing them of campaigning for the opposition.
Since Mugabe stole white-owned farms and handed them over in small plots to black Zimbabweans the country has gone from “the breadbasket of Africa” to a destitute, net importer of food, reliant on international aid.
The problem in Zimbabwe […]
