A professor who has a way with words has said,
Parents who smoke in cars in front of small children are “committing a form of child abuse”.
My parents smoked in the car. I wouldn’t say that it thrilled me, but abuse? I think not. With the windows open, most of the smoke was expelled, otherwise my [...]

Just a reminder (for those who need one, such as troglodytes and anyone who has just emerged from a thirteen year coma) about what you get when Labour are elected. My old website – thelabourparty.org – lists just a few of Labour’s crimes and misdeamenours over approximately a one year period from the Spring of [...]

I was in town with a friend yesterday evening and we bought a Chinese takeaway and started walking back to my place. We passed New Labour’s constituency office and spotted our MP/candidate, Russell Brown, heading there from across the street.
As you can probably imagine, I was seething with anger just at the sight of him. [...]

Just before the 1983 General Election, Neil Kinnock uttered these ominous words,
If Margaret Thatcher wins on Thursday, I warn you not to be ordinary. I warn you not to be young. I warn you not to fall ill. I warn you not to get old.
He could equally have been warning about the state of the [...]

The video below was made by Christians in Politics, a group that brings together Christians from New Labour, the Tories and the Lib Dems. You can hear Brown, Cameron and Clegg’s attempts at pretending they care what Christians think.

Gordon Brown is his usual bizarre self. He says that churches and the Christian charities are Britain’s [...]

Further to my previous post, this is the genuine Labour Pledge Card…

Here is the reverse…

Okay, let’s get fisking…
Secure the recovery and halve the deficit through economic growth, fair taxes and cuts to lower priority spending.
Halve the deficit: just like that! From the people who have more than doubled it – how? Through economic growth. What [...]

Yes, I know the very idea is hilarious after they welched on the ‘promises’ in their last manifesto. Maybe a pledge is a real promise. A bona-fide, non-fingers-crossed-behind-your-back sort of promise. Or maybe it’s just a furniture polish.
Those nice people at mybillboard.net have again gone to the trouble of enabling us to make our own, [...]

Tom Harris has posted this video of Gordon Brown listing New Labour’s “achievements”.
I imagine it sounds very convincing – to those who allow themselves to be drowned in the sea of grand ideas and emotion.

This is what I told Tom:
Any thinking person would question almost everything on this list of ‘achievements’. I don’t have the [...]

In a very unbelievable and silly speech in Coventry today, the Gorgon set out his vision for a fairer Britain. It sounded well done, actually, so that millions of gullible folk will fall for it yet again, in a sort of “fair-for-families” Groundhog Day way.
I left the following comments on Tom Harris’s blog:
Oh, Tom, it’s [...]

I left a long comment on Leg-iron’s post, The Tory vote-losing technique, which I am reproducing here. He is talking about the modern phenomenon of shouting down your opponents and calling them names rather than engaging them in intelligent dialogue. He asks whether those, like climate change ‘atheists’ and those warning about mass immigration, were [...]
