There have been some amazing stories in the past week about how our police, courts, prisons and various jobsworths think justice should be applied. There was the woman handed a fixed penalty notice for feeding ducks; the mother followed home by an off-duty policeman and reported to social services because she threatened to smack her [...]

It isn’t working because a) most potential voters don’t know/care about issues and b) most of those who wheedle their way into power don’t listen.
Yesterday’s by-election in Glasgow North East was the ideal opportunity for the good people of that area to come out in force and tell the worst British government in living memory, [...]

Lord Waddington’s heroics have won the day as the Government runs out of time to cut out the free-speech clause from the coroners and justice bill. Let all of us who care, take strength from this to win our country back from those who are destroying it with their PC agenda.
Cranmer has the details and [...]

Further to my post about the Government’s attempts to exclude Lord Waddington’s free speech clause from the latest ‘equality’ legislation, the Lords last night voted to retain the clause, overturning a large Government majority on Tuesday.
However, Labour peer Lord Smith, who was the first MP to come out openly as gay, warned that a free [...]

So asks the Church Mouse after reading an article by Bess Twiston-Davies in The Times’ Faith Central.
Essentially it boils down to the question of whether it breaks the Biblical commands against gossip. This is not only a dilemma for Christian bloggers, but also Jewish bloggers, for whom the law is the same.

Householders are being handed postcards that warn carol singers will not be welcome this Christmas because many residents are ‘uncomfortable’ with having groups [...]

Parliamentary time is still being wasted on the Government’s efforts to exclude Lord Waddington’s amendment from ‘equality’ legislation, even though when the Government introduced a new offence of inciting ‘homophobic hatred’, the free speech shield was accepted by Parliament last year.
With police officers already confused about what constitutes a New Labour ‘hate crime’, the amendment [...]

The Corries’ version from, I would guess, around 1980, updated with appropriate graphics.

I like this version from Steeleye Span (1973):

Thanks to Leg-iron for reminding me of Steeleye Span! (final link on post)

A bizarre headline on LabourList yesterday read, “Only around 30% of households have savings – Labour has to stand up for the majority.”
It sounded like it might now be a crime to have savings, so I investigated further. It seems that some people are still financially independent and that even some of the middle classes [...]

I write often about the appalling traitors in our midst, but it is also important to remember the opposite of these: the patriots, the heroes and the fallen.
