Browsing through the paper last night I read a quite bizarre story about two parish council’s in Telford having a bit of a bust-up. One parish council – the Gorge – is the parish containing the Ironbridge World Heritage Site and all the associated musems.  It suffers from quite severe flooding on a regular basis [...]

Sometimes it seems like everyone in the IT world thinks they’re a psychic – every other day there’s some headline declaring the imminent death or arrival of something computer related. This time it’s the turn of the humble mouse.  Not the little rodent that goes squeak squeak, can’t stand cheese and craps in your cereal [...]

The pathetic weakness of Liebour has been reconfirmed today with the first day of a two day strike by public sector workers and the Scottish Chancellor’s back-track over the 2p rise in fuel duty. Council workers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in the Unison and Unite unions went on strike today over a below [...]

The Belgian Prime Minister has tendered his resignation after only a few months heading up a coalition government hastily thrown together under pressure from Federal Europe to prevent delays to the ratification of the EU not-a-Constitution. Unsurprisingly, the Belgian government has fallen on its arse yet again, this time over a devolution package that would [...]

The M6 Toll Road has seen a drop in traffic numbers of over 13% in the last year. The road was the first toll motorway in the UK and is operated by Midlands Expressway, a private company that spent a huge wedge of taxpayers money along with another huge wedge of private money on building [...]

Tony McNulty, the Liebour Home Office minister who helped bully and bribe the recent “anti-terrorism” legislation through the British Parliament, has criticised David Davis for resigning and forcing a by-election to give the electorate their only chance to have a vote on the abolition of civil liberties. McNulty says that David Davis should have made [...]

The primary school that my children go to has a School Council which gets the kids involved in how the school is run and even how some of the money is spent. Last year the children who wanted to take part stood for election and were voted in by their peers.  However, next year (this [...]

We bought a Nintendo Wii the other day and I strongly recommend one for every household, particularly if there’s a fatty in the household like there is in ours (me ). I’m sitting here typing this with sweat dripping off me (pleasant image, I know) after spending just 10 minutes playing on the Wii. In [...]

You’d have thought George Ashcroft would have enough to do with his time as a borough councillor, assistant to the local Conswervative PPC and cabinet member for regeneration on Telford & Wrekin Council but apparently not. This letter is in tonight’s Shropshire Star: CIVIL RIGHT TO BE SAFE FROM TERROR Stuart Parr says that he [...]

The Counter Terrorism Bill that will allow suspects of terrorist offences such as teaching someone to shoot a gun, protesting outside parliament or saying “nonsense” to Jack Straw to be locked up for a month and a half without charge hasn’t even passed through the House of Lords yet and already the British government is [...]

The Illiberal Dumbocrat leader, Nick Cleggover, says that schools “must tackle homophobia” because 2/3 of gay people in school report homophobia. Quite a shocking statistic that.  You’d have thought it would be nearer 100% like it is with fat kids, thin kids, tall kids, short kids, clever kids, thick kids, rich kids, poor kids and [...]

I was browsing the BBC News website and saw a heartening headline – “Brown faces climate change revolt“.  My excitement turned to dismay, though, when I read the article.  More than 80 rebel Liebour MPs have signed an amendment to the Climate Change Bill to increase the target for reducing carbon emissions by 2050 from [...]

No Mandate Brown has urged Brrrritish families to stop wasting food  to combat food shortages and save up to £420 a year in the process. £420?  Whoop-de-fucking-do.  My tax bill, food bill, fuel bill, gas bill, electricity bill and just about every other bill has gone up by more than that thanks, largely, to the [...]

Regular readers will know that I complained to the BBC over its episode of Dr Who in which it used the phrase “You know how it is, England for the English”.  To see the original complaint, click here. I wonder how many complaints the BBC got.  They certainly got enough to spend time coming up [...]

I’m back off holiday, normal service will be resumed shortly. Thanks to the ginger one for keeping an eye on things here in Wonkoville, disappointed glad to see there’s no pictures of Gemma Atkinson’s breasts plastered all over the place. We had excellent weather for most of the holiday – a bit of rain once [...]

Me again. Wonko will get back from his well-earned break and wonder what he’s done giving me access to this… Still, I’m here with some good news this time: English-hating tennis hack Andy Murray has been knocked out of wimbledon. Good riddance you lanky streak of Scottish piss. One can only hope he will never [...]
