Royal Police State 2: Old couple dragged off for being about to perform street theatre

Old Holborn has also written about the arrest and detention of Charlie Veitch of the Love Police.
Whether you agree with Charlie Veitch and the deeds of the Love Police is a matter of choice. Personally, I support his peaceful refusal to obey the State and his ability to upset the natural order imposed by the [...]

Royal Police State

It’s the Big Day and the Establishment doesn’t want anyone putting a spanner in the works. So they have arrested people and locked them up for crimes they may commit – in fact, not even crimes – on charges of “conspiracy to cause a public nuisance”. Charlie Veitch of the Love Police is one who [...]

Gordon Brown’s New Job

Congratulations are due to our previous Dear Leader, but some people are a bit miffed:
THE appointment of Gordon Brown as an adviser to a key world economic body met with anger last night.
Mr Brown, who saddled Britain with a huge debt during his time as Chancellor and Prime Minister, has been appointed as an adviser [...]

My kind of athletes

I love to read about the achievements of those whose bodies and lifestyles are at odds with the “perfect” ones promoted by the Righteous. Admittedly, it can take a bit longer to run a marathon when you weigh 400 pounds: that’s 28 stone 8lbs.
Three times US Sumo champion, Kelly Gneiting, became the heaviest person ever [...]

The Age of Overreaction

In a time when people are lightning-fast to take offence where none is intended and councils ban events which have been going on for centuries just in case of some freak accident the likes of which has never, ever happened before, the following examples of overreaction are probably unsurprising. Just very annoying.
Colin Atkinson is a [...]

Pains in the Arts

A loyal reader has brought to my attention a new book being published next week called The Final Testament of the Holy Bible. Leg-iron has blogged about it and linked to this video of the author, James Frey, trying to be clever with the general public in an effort to give his notions some credibility. [...]

Pink Fascism

It is a shame that such a nice colour has been hijacked by the homosexual lobby, but so have the rainbow and the word “gay.” It all helps to give the impression that all homosexuals are soft and cuddly, harmless and peaceful.
I wasn’t going to write about my latest round of exchanges with a certain [...]

What US Airport Security and the Tory Party and Police Have in Common

I have just been watching some videos of “pat downs” on children passing through airports in America – being intimately searched in case they are carrying weapons or bombs. They might be Junior al Qaeda, you never know. The TSA (Transportation Security Administration) suspects anyone and everyone.
So, just in case, the kids get to [...]

Daily Mail readers want Chinese-style restrictions on having children

The Daily Mail comes in for a lot of flack, and sometimes it is deserved, but their website is nicely designed and there are always interesting nuggets there that no other mainstream paper seems to cover. And if you like ogling scantily-clad ladies (actresses at awards ceremonies, pop stars, footballers’ girlfriends on the beach, etc.) [...]

California Slimming? It’ll never happen.

I have heard about this before and expect our deeply caring government to introduce it here before too long.
Ever wondered how many calories are in your food when you dine out?
No. Never.
Or in the snack you’ve just chosen in a vending machine? Or indeed your early morning latte?
Now you’re getting silly.
Well whether you have or [...]
