Good news!  The ConDems have done something sensible at last and announced their intention to remove the powers of local councils in England to fine people for not complying with their recycling and bin collection rules. Naturally Labour and Greenpeace are up in arms and want councils to be allowed to carry on handing out [...]

We’ve just had the census police at the door as we hadn’t returned our form.  She had already been forewarned about my opinion of the census by the next door neighbour who happens to be her sister. As it happens, the census has been filled out and sealed in the envelope already but it just [...]

Very shortly the 2011 Census forms will drop through my letterbox and I’m in a bit of a quandry. I want to take the opportunity to define myself as English now that the census form finally deigns to ask people if they are English after decades of recording other ethnicities and nationalities.  I also fancy [...]

This week West Mercia Police started a trial of new powers to allow them to temporarily ban domestic violence suspects from their homes. On the face of it this seems perfectly acceptable – thousands of men and women have their lives destroyed by domestic violence and the consequences of their abuse stay with them for [...]

The English Defence League (EDL) held a “static protest” in Bradford yesterday which was typically marred by violence. The original plan was for the EDL to hold a march through Bradford but the Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police, Sir Norman Bettison, successfully got the Home Secretary, Theresa May, to ban any protest marches in [...]

So one of the first acts of our new EU regional administrators is to introduce fixed term parliaments. Any alliance whose purpose is not the intention to wage war is senseless and useless I support fixed term parliaments – I even have a button for the campaign for fixed term parliaments in the sidebar of this [...]

On 10th December I sent a letter to my MP, David Wright, about the British Home Secretary, Jack Straw, vetoing the release of minutes of a 1997 cabinet meeting on devolution via WriteToThem.com.  He didn’t reply but he’s just agreed on Twitter to reply to questions I’ve asked him on Twitter and to my letter so here [...]

British Home Secretary, Alan Johnson, has said that he will use the Public Order Act to ban the Islam4UK protest in Wooton Bassett planned by Anjem Choudary.  He said “The idea that anyone would stage this kind of demonstration in Wootton Bassett fills me with revulsion”. Well yes, I’m sure it fills most people with [...]

Female prisoners are very different to male prisoners, and while there is a consensus that we need to be tougher on male offenders there is also a broad consensus that where possible we should punish and reform females in the community and not in prisons. – Jack Straw  What the fucking fuck?  No, seriously, what [...]

The Demon Headmaster Jack Straw has backed down on trying to remove the defence of freedom of speech from a new law making inciting homophobic hatred a criminal offence. The Lords prevented the Ministry of Injustice from removing the right to freedom of speech four times before Jack Straw finally gave up. This new law [...]

Three more drugs advisers from the British government’s Advisory Council for the Misuse of Drugs have resigned following the sacking of Professor David Nutt. Nutt was sacked by the British Home Secretary, Alan Johnson, after publicly saying that LSD was less harmful than alcohol, cannabis was less harmful than nicotine  and that the British government’s [...]

Three years ago one of my kids was punished for “racism” at school after he called one of his black friends a monkey when we was pulling monkey faces and making monkey noises. The Manifesto Club has finally noticed that something is seriously amiss when primary and nursery school kids are being accused of racism [...]

West Midlands Police have advised cinemas in Birmingham not to show an independent film about black gang warfare filmed and produced in Birmingham because it is negatively stereotypical.  Cineworld and Odeon have refused to show the film in Birmingham as a result. This is just wrong.  Very wrong.  It is not the place of the [...]

Nick Griffin will be on Question Time tonight in front of what is probably going to be the bigget TV audience Question Time has ever had. And the reason why Griffin is going to be getting this huge amount of publicity?  Because the anti-democratic, anti-BNP idiots have made such a fuss about him appearing on [...]

“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 has unveiled the design of its ID card and shock horror, it doesn’t have a British flag on it.  Instead, it will have four symbols to represent the four nations (the British government’s words) of the UK. There was a suggestion that it would have the European Empire’s ring of stars on [...]

The British government has abandoned its plans to force airside workers in London City and Manchester airports to sign up for ID cards after workers and unions kicked up a fuss. No2ID and others are calling it a humiliating climb down but don’t get too excited about the demise of the ID card scheme because [...]

The Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales has ruled that a trial can take place without a jury for the first time. The trial in question is for an armed robbery at Heathrow Airport which will be heard for a fourth time because of alleged jury tampering.  It was because of the jury tampering that [...]

A Welsh man has had £67k confiscated by the police because he couldn’t prove it was legitimate. Police were called to his house following a report of an attempted break-in and found £67k in cash.  The man said the money came from savings and selling German military memorabilia but couldn’t prove it so they got [...]

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 [...]
