Ed Miliband made his maiden speech to Conference yesterday as new Labour leader. Not “New” Labour leader, i.e. not new New Labour leader, just new Labour leader.
This is very important, because New Labour is dead. This Party is no more; it has ceased to be, etc…
But Mr Miliband is not a Norwegian Blue pining for [...]

I love this optical illusion on the Daily Mail’s website.

“Although it may seem impossible to believe, the squares marked ‘A’ and ‘B’ are actually exactly the same shade of grey.”
Lesson 1: question everything.
This amazing illusion was created by Edward H Adelson from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Although it may seem impossible to believe, the [...]

Lynne Featherstone is the new Equalities minister at the Home Office. She is a Liberal Democrat, but far more liberal than democrat. She has posted to her blog a transcript of the keynote speech she gave at last week’s LibDem Conference.

This is from an American perspective, but doesn’t it look familiar?
What on earth are they teaching our kids in the government-run public school system?
The answer is, ‘Not much.’
Several generations of America’s children have gone through 12 grades without knowing a thing about the Constitution, the Federalist Papers, Joseph Stalin’s mass murder of nearly 30 million [...]
