The Scottish couple who were the first in the UK to be diagnosed with swine flu have gone home today, covering their faces so as not to spoil their newspaper deal. The Chief Medical Officer for England says that they won’t be routinely screening people returning from Mexico, even though that’s where the virus is [...]

At first I thought this swine flu thing was just scaremongering by the media but now I realise that it’s serious – probably more serious than even the Daily Mail could imagine. Check your spam folder for online pharmacy emails and order in as much Tamiflu as you can lay your hands on.  Get down [...]

The petition calling on El Gordo to resign now has over 25k signatures. But it’s spawned another petition calling for him to carry on leading our great country which I would urge you to sign.  I don’t imagine the petition will be there for long so I’ll list the names below … Brad Owen john [...]

Telford & Wrekin Council has lost its second Chief Executive in 3 years and once again I can honestly say good riddance to bad rubbish. Three years ago Michael “The Traitor” Frater left to mismanage Nottingham City Council and was sacked after less than two years after rubbing the officers up the wrong way.  Frater [...]

Harriet Harperson, the Minister for Equalities & Women, wants to force companies to publish reports on their gender pay gap.  As most of the trade and industry portfolio is devolved, Ms Harperson’s pledge to “narrow the gap between rich and poor and make Britain more equal” probably only applies to England. According to Ms Harperson, [...]

From today family court hearings will be open to the public and journalists, even if children are involved. Journalists and members of the public will be able to sit in on divorce and custody hearings, getting to hear details of financial settlements, affairs, marital breakdown and parents’ relationships with their children.  Hearings will only be [...]

A petition worth signing: We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to resign. There are many reasons why we might want Brown to resign, but rather than having lots of narrow petitions on this topic (most of which have been rejected), I wanted one for all of us.  Click on the boot to sign the [...]

I’ve had a great St Georges Day.  I took the day off work – as I do every year – and had a busy day. This morning I went and got my hair cut and saw lots of English flags on cars and houses and people wearing Cross of St George lapel badges. I went [...]

Happy St Georges Day Technorati Tags: St George

El Gordo had an easy time for his decade as Chancellor with the global economy booming and he still managed to fuck the economy up. Today’s budget was a proper socialist budget – people who work for a living are going to see their tax burden go through the roof while unemployed people and the [...]

A committee of MPs has produced a report saying that the British government get more involved in the parenting of “disadvantaged” children. The report is looking at disadvantaged children in social care but the term “disadvantaged” has plenty of scope for expansion into other areas – children with learning difficulties, children with behavioural problems, children [...]

About 4 weeks ago, I was walking #2 to cubs with #4 in tow when some wanker in a red Audi, registration number L311 XPV, came tearing round the perimeter road at 60mph+.  The speed limit – on account of the road being around the outside of a housing estate with houses and junctions on [...]

I went for my daily walk from the office to the shopping centre in town today and as I was walking over a bridge over the railway I smelled smoke, looked over the side and saw that there was a fire under the bridge somewhere near the tracks. The two people in front of me [...]

Police have raided a private school and arrested 114 suspected ecoterrorists who they suspect of planning to storm a coal power station. The problem is, of course, that a judge has already given a green light to ecoterrorists who want to cause tens of thousands of pounds of criminal damage in the name of saving [...]

The British Prime Minister has announced plans to force all English children to carry out at least 50 hours of community service before the age of 19. Luckily, the plans are in his manifesto pledge for the next British elections and are therefore extremely unlikely to ever come to fruition for the two very good [...]

The corrupt media bought into the left wing lie that the BNP are a far right party but many bloggers know the truth – that the BNP are a far left party, more akin to Liebour than the parties on the right – and try our best to make sure as many people as possible [...]

Bob Quick, the Met Police’s chief anti-terrorism officer, has resigned after his latest act of stupidity. A long-planned anti-terrorism raid had to be brought forward, putting unprepared officers at risk, because the muppet walked up Downing Street with briefing papers for the raid clearly on show for photographers. Quick was the senior officer who authorised [...]

For once the lying, crooked, thieving bastard politicians in the Liebour Party have been eclipsed by an even bigger bunch of lying, crooked, thieving bastard politicians.  Unbelievable, I know, but true. Sinn Féin’s 5 MPs have claimed £21k each for the last 4 years – a total of over £400k – in second home allowances [...]

A policeman from Newcastle has been convicted of causing death by dangerous driving after hitting a 16 year old girl who walked into the road in front of him. The policeman was doing 94mph in a 30mph limit without his blue lights and sirens, hence the dangerous driving charge, but he was on duty and [...]

The Identity and Passport Service (IPS) has awarded £650m of contracts to CSC and IBM to build its national identity register even though the Tories said they will repeal ID card and national identity register legislation when they win the next election. The IPS have justified pissing £650m up the wall because they need to [...]
