Coalition to build on Labour’s “equality” agenda. God help us.

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.
I am disturbed, but not remotely surprised, at the willingness the new regime has, not [...]

Who will win, secularists or Muslims?

There’s only one way to find out: F-I-G-H-T!! And it might come to that.
The Mail On Sunday has discovered that halal meat is being served up as standard in a wide range of public and private establishments, from schools and hospitals to restaurants and pubs.
While the humanists and secularists have been attacking the Judeo-Christian heritage [...]

I am not a flat-earther, Mr Harris

Glasgow South MP and wannabe front bencher, Tom Harris, tweeted this the other day…

I kept some extra tardises in (if that’s the plural) for effect. Tom is probably more famous for his love of this TV programme than he is for his part in destroying the UK during his two terms as a New Labour [...]

Thinking of voting Labour today?

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 [...]

A town of empty shops and “Vote Labour” signs

On Monday, I noticed another two shops in town had closed and lie completely empty. They are adjacent and in a street facing three other empty shops, right in the centre of town. Visitors would be forgiven for thinking that we are trying hard to win Ghost Town of the Year 2010. Instead of tumbleweeds [...]

Beneath contempt?

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. [...]

The NHS: safe in whose hands?

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 [...]

Can you believe Ed Balls?

The short answer, of course, is “No!” But here is more proof: Ed Balls: Improving behaviour in schools is everyone’s business.
It’s everyone’s business, except that you are now presumed to be a paedophile unless you are state-approved. Anyway, let the madness begin…
The Government today set out the next steps to make sure behaviour is good [...]

Labour’s real pledge card

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 [...]

Labour’s pledge card

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, [...]
