If there’s one topic that can cause heated discussion, it’s immigration.  For too long it’s been a taboo subject and public criticism of unfettered discrimination has been left to the far left BNP, assorted nutjob organisations on the fringes of mainstream politics and a relative few individuals prepared to put their heads above the parapet. [...]

We’ve just returned home from a long weekend darn sarf for a visit to Legoland and Chessington. Legoland was a bit of a disappointing day out because the queues for everything were just enormous.  Traffic was backed up for miles just to get in the car park.  We had to queue for ages with our [...]

No Mandate Brown has announced that he will be asking the Queen to dissolve parliament tomorrow and call an election. He is expected to announce a May 6th election. I can’t wait to see the smug grin wiped off McBroon’s gurning face and the deflated look on Camoron‘s face when he realises that he hasn’t [...]

Is it any wonder English people of all colours and religions are supporting the English Defence League? Over 4,000 people gathered at an English Defence League demonstration in Dudley to protest against the planned £18m muslim mosque which over 20,000 locals previously objected to in a petition.  The protesters were herded into a large fenced-off [...]

Mrs Sane had to take the dog to the vets this morning.  When he did his business on his morning walk it was full of blood which isn’t a particularly good sign so we called the emergency vet recommended by our normal vet. It cost £109 for a consultation – triple the normal amount – [...]

Mark Pritchard, the Tory MP for Telford, has made a cryptic announcement on his website: Under Parliamentary rules governing the pre-election period, this website will not be updated from 1st January 2010 until the General Election.  What rules say that a sitting MP can’t update their official website before an election has been called?  I’m [...]

Let’s get this straight right now – I do not support English Votes on English Laws.  It’s an insult to our nation and a constitutional fudge that is doomed to failure. It is, however, a recognition of more than a decade of institutional discrimination against England at the hands of the British establishment and the [...]

Since the scum-sucking-pig-gate affair kicked off, David Wright MP has been a bit quiet not only on the Twitter front but I’m told his office telephone has been going unanswered when people are ringing for comments. My spies tell me that David has been hauled over the coals but don’t worry, the Brownshirts haven’t sent [...]

Euthanasia and mercy killings are back in the news again, largely thanks to my favourite author, Terry Pratchett. Terry Pratchett has a rare form of Alzheimers and wants to shuffle off the mortal coil on his own terms, in a chair in his garden listening to music taking an overdose of painkillers with alcohol.  And why [...]

Beijing has been brought to a standstill after being buried under 12″ of global warming snow – the most they’ve had since 1951. The Chinese Met Office has warned that the far north of China could be globally warmed to as much -32°C. Airports and roads have been closed in China because of the global [...]

According to BBC Radio Shropshire, there has been an explosion in Shrewsbury town centre. The emergency services aren’t giving much information but there have been injuries.  Three people have been sent to the nearby Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and one has been airlifted to Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham.  Three air ambulances and ten land ambulances [...]

Happy New Year

The Daily Mail has an article on the English Defence League with the snappy title “This is England: Masked like terrorists, members of Britain’s newest and fastest -growing protest group intimidate a Muslim woman on a train en route to a violent demo”.  It used to be called “This is England: On the trail of [...]

Merry Christmas to all my friends, relatives and enemies * * Except Gordon Brown and Peter Mandelson, you’ve gone through enemy and out the other side.

Switzerland has voted to ban the construction of Minarets in a national referendum. They have an excellent system in Switzerland – one that Lord Pearson has made a key policy for UKIP – where a petition with 100,000 signatures calling for a referendum has to be acted on by the government.  This particular referendum was [...]

I’ve been tagged by Toque on a top 10 films meme, in the hope that he’ll find some inspiration for his LoveFilm rentals.  In no particular order … Final Destination A kid has a premonition that the plane he’s on is going to blow up, panics, gets thrown off with some school friends and … [...]

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In [...]

Google has had a Sesame Street logo on its site for most of the week to mark the 4oth anniversary of the show. Presumably the makers of Sesame Street are presumably paying them to display the logo because not only did the Google UK site fail to mark the 5th of November, but they have [...]

Just checked the Big Ben webcam and I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news – the Houses of Parliament are still there.
