Let’s just imagine for a moment, despite all the evidence disproving the theory, that catastrophic man-made global warming is upon us. Let’s further imagine – suspending disbelief just a little further – that there are a few scientists that remember how real science works and one of them comes up with a technical solution to [...]

Harriet Harperson, the man-hating fascist Minister for Women & Inequality, has written to the Tartan Taxman 2.0 and demanded that he bans companies from claiming VAT back on entertaining staff and clients at lap dancing clubs because it’s demeaning and effectively excludes women. Isn’t it a little presumptuous of Ms Harperson to assume that no [...]

The Shropshire Star evidently thought my wheelie bin “upset” was newsworthy as well as the BBC … Man sends out council ‘fine’ over bin upset A Telford man has sent his own “funny” fine of £75 to the council over his wheelie bin being left in the street.  He said he was annoted that the [...]

It’s been a while since I wrote a letter to the Shropshire Star. This one was published in tonight’s Shropshire Star … It’s not too late to hear out English nationalists It’s a little late for John Denham to be worrying about the emergence of white supremacists in England when he has served in a [...]

Is it unreasonable to expect that the Business Secretary might have some small amount of business sense? The British government recently confirmed that it intends to build a number of nuclear power stations in England which will, of course, require a large number of experts in the field of nuclear energy.  Experts such as the [...]

A number of unions, including the Fire Brigade Union (FBU), Unite and UNISON, voted yesterday to boycott Israel and disinvest from companies that profit from the Israeli occupation of Palestine. The unions that supported the motion at the TUC conference represent 6.5m people in the UK. The motion also condemns the Israeli trade union, Histadrut [...]

I thought the media silly season was over now the British government are off their 3 month holidays but apparently not.  Either that or my wheelie bin story is more interesting than I thought. On Tuesday a BBC reporter turned up at my house unannounced wanting to talk to me about the wheelie bins.  He [...]

“Faith groups and traders” and councillors in Manchester are asking the Home Secretary to ban a protest by the English Defence League that is planned for next month citing the violence at their Birmingham marches as justification for depriving them of their constitutional right to protest. The Daily Telegraph says: Gangs of men and youths [...]

The British government reckons it’s saved £7m in the last year through “green” measures in government departments. The “green” measures referred to include double-sided printing, turning computers off at night and replacing PCs after 5 years instead of 3. These are not “green” measures, they’re common sense money-saving ideas!  They may have a positive effect [...]

Today is Mrs Sane’s birthday so after the presents, crumpets and bacon butties we went to Sheriffhales Village Fair. Now, village fair usually means WI, homemade skittles and dodgy cake stalls but this is in a league of its own.  The entire village of Sheriffhales is closed off to traffic and the locals make scarecrows [...]

The British government’s new Energy Minister has admitted that the UK will be facing electricity black-outs by 2016 because coal and nuclear power stations are going to be decomissioned and “green” power can’t be produced in big enough quantities to keep the lights on. It’s a welcome admission that the British government’s energy policy is [...]

The council left my bins out in the road again today, forcing Mrs Sane to stop in the road and move them before she could park in the drive. They’re taking the piss now, but I have a cunning plan … Once again my bins have not been put back at the end of my [...]

Nope, nothing to do with the Cha Cha Slide.  Samoa is changing which side of the road it drives on from the right to the left. The reason given by the Samoan government is that they’ll be able to import cheap cars from Japan which produces cheaper right hand drive cars for its domestic market [...]

The BBC have invited the BNP to appear on the panel of Question Time for the first time. The decision is the right one, no matter how awful the BNP are.  They have two MEPs and several councillors, to deny them a platform does nothing to reduce their support – in fact, it increases their [...]

A Twitter friend re-tweeted a request for information about local pharmacies open on a Sunday evening.  Easy I thought, I’ll pop on t’interweb and get the out of hours pharmacy rota off one of the 5 million websites the NHS runs. Erm no.  NHS Direct has nothing but a list of pharmacies with normal opening [...]

We’ve had a Wii for a while now and a combination of the kids using the remote and nunchucks as nunchucks (Kung-fu style) and chewing the wires has rendered the nunchucks a tad unreliable, often causing you to veer off to the left in Mario Kart Wii at inopportune moments. So we thought we’d invest [...]

Protesters from the English & Welsh Defence League and anti-fascist fascists rioted in Birmingham yesterday – a repeat of events a couple of weeks ago when the English & Welsh Defence League marched on Birmingham City Centre and the fascist Unite Against Fascism came out in force to protest at them. The BBC News website [...]

… Microsoft Percentages! I’m sure every Windows user has experienced the curious phenomenon of “Microsoft Time” which uses the same units as normal time – hours, minutes, seconds – but in an entirely random way so you can never know whether “15 seconds” to copy a file in Microsoft time means 15 seconds, 5 minutes [...]

No need to spend a fortune on a polling company to find out how many Tories are intending to vote for Farage, ConservativeHome have already got the answer – 64%! The Tories are more split than ever under the expert leadership of David Camoron. Keep up the good work Dave. Technorati Tags: ConservativeHome, Election, John [...]

About this time last year we received a statement from Engage Mutual Assurance, the company the British government “invested” #4′s Child Trust Fund in, showing that it made a 6.2% loss.  I reiterated my belief that the Child Trust Fund is “a fucking rip-off scheme designed to make rich companies richer”. Today we’ve had the [...]
