Wimbledon has started and the BBC are excited about the prospects of British Scottish British Scottish British Scottish Sour Faced Tosser, Andy Murray. Personally, I couldn’t give a flying fuck which round he crashes out in as long as he cries like a baby. Amusingly, the above image is the first match in a Google [...]

Printed on a box of raisins from Asda: Ingredients: Raisins (100%). Suitable for Vegetarians.  Do we really a list of ingredients in a box of raisins?  And is there anyone, anywhere on the planet (except Glasgow) who doesn’t realise that fruit is suitable for vegetarians? As the late, great Douglas Adams said in So Long and Thanks [...]

Just checking the referrers for Bloggers4UKIP and a strange one came up: http://bloggers4ukip.blogspot.com/notify-Deloitte_Notify?aHR0cDovL2Jsb2dnZXJzNHVraXAuYmxvZ3Nwb3QuY29tLw==  The url doesn’t work but Google turns up the url on a lot of Blogger blogs.  The wording of the url would suggest that Blogger are notifying Deloitte whenever some or all blogs are updated.

The English Democrats have been a largely benign force in English politics for a few years but recently they’ve become more aggressive in their self-promotion and in doing so have become toxic to the cause of English nationalism. Anyone criticising the English Democrats, and particularly Steve Uncles, is generally treated to threats of legal action [...]

The English Democrats have been spamming Facebook for months now, setting up groups for England and St Georges Day and then re-branding them as English Democrats supporters groups when they get a few members in a desperateyl pathetic attempt to look like they have some support. Every group I was a member of that they [...]

Chris Bryant MP, a minister in the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, says that the red cross logo used by the International Red Cross (IRC) is an offensive reminder to muslims of the crusades and should be replaced with the red crystal logo that the IRC have recently adopted.

Engineers from Shropshire Council are closing Harley Bank once again to try and figure out why rocks keep falling onto the road. I’m not an engineer so I might be looking at this simplistically but I wonder if cutting into the rock face and turning it into a sheer cliff and removing all the trees [...]

Peter Mandelson (I won’t call him Lord Mandelson, a man without honour doesn’t deserve an honourary title) says that the UK will join the Euro.

Grant … Now, for instance, if someone speaks to you like this: “I don’t like you, I deep fry my breakfast and give cigarettes to my children” … they are called Scottish people who have no appreciation for the [...]

Thanks to our glorious overlords on the continent and their proxy war with the US through the medium of anti-trust lawsuits against Microsoft, Windows 7 in Europe will ship without Internet Exploder. Yes, Internet Explorer is a shit browser but there are plenty of websites out there that just don’t work properly with Firefox and other browsers [...]

When was the last time Caroline Flint told the truth?  Does anyone know?  Does she know? Flint, whose greatest achievement was to be Secretary of State for the European Empire’s trojan horse in the British government, has just been interviewed on ITV.
