Diet drinks to die for?

I ended up on Thomas Byrne’s blog, ByrneTofferings (geddit?) and wondered who this chap is. The first bit of info on his About Me page is his liking for Diet Coke.
Hello, I’m Tom. I like Diet coke, Indiepop and Politics.
I warned him and thought it might be a timely reminder to repeat here – what [...]

Another home-schooled child kidnapped by the state

It is the sort of story which makes my blood boil. Another child in another allegedly free country, this time Sweden, has been kidnapped by the ‘authorities’ because he was being taught at home by his parents.
Christian home-schooling parents who had their son taken away by Swedish Government officials have lost their court case to [...]

Flu News

The picture is of Ukrainians in Kiev burning a replica of an anti-flu mask in a protest against what they call government-inspired hysteria about swine flu that distracts the public from political issues.
Indeed. Last year, the WHO redefined what constitutes a ‘pandemic’ and removed the important factors that there must be a high morbidity and [...]

New Labour: cold as the temperature outside (plus caption competition)

Cranmer is reporting on Mandelson’s latest wheeze as Minister for Business, Innovation and Skills. He wants to turn the screw on charities, churches and community halls by abolishing their music licence exemptions. That ought to be worth a few favours from his friends in the ‘biz’ (unless he’s had them already).
His Grace writes,
It is Cromwellian [...]

Not such a gay day after all

Six months ago, I wrote a post called Canterbury is officially ‘gay’ enough. The local ‘Pride’ group had reported the Council to the Local Government Ombudsman for allegedly failing in its ‘duty’ to promote and cater for homosexuality in the city, despite giving financial backing to their cause. The claim was rejected.
The pride group, which [...]

Monday, January 4, 2010
9/11 Commission whitewash chief Thomas Kean told CNN yesterday that the Christmas Day plane bomber “did us a favor,” by allowing Obama to expand the so-called war on terror into Yemen, a startling reminder that the highly suspicious Flight 253 attack served to fulfil pre-determined U.S. geopolitical objectives.
“This guy [...]

For the cheeldren: as usual

Here we go again… yet more attacks on children and family life. Courtesy of Ed Balls this time. He’s meant to be the Children’s Secretary.
Under the proposals, lessons in sex and relationships would begin at five, when children would label body parts and learn about simple changes to their bodies.
As per my previous post, haven’t [...]

Piggy bank lessons at school

Just when you thought the State had already taken over parents’ roles completely…
Children as young as five will receive lessons on managing their piggy banks as a means of improving financial responsibility among the public.
From what I remember of my childhood, the whole savings thing involved the entire family. Receiving money, putting it in a [...]

Good for the Soul

I went to two services yesterday – morning and evening – in different churches and heard two sermons which complemented each other and helped refresh my soul. They were about improving things in 2010, and as the old song goes, “All good gifts around us are sent from Heaven above… so thank the Lord for [...]

Underpants Bomber is Intelligence Patsy

Further to my previous post, Subrosa has a video of historian Webster Tarpley on a US television news programme, explaining how Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who tried to blow up Northwest Flight 253 on Christmas Day, is a patsy.
Tarpley was also on the Alex Jones Show on Friday to explain in greater detail. I recommend you [...]
