MPs Are Not Above The Law

After arduously attempting to read through the Hansard report of this past week’s proposed marriage-wrecking legislation and its various clauses, I noticed the Speaker’s first words at the very start of the week’s business, after prayers, were as follows,
Mr Speaker [John Bercow]: I wish to report to the House that the rooms of a Member [...]

Tom Harris MP and Other Useful Idiots: Can and Should Arrests Be Made?

This all happened shortly before the terrible events at the Boston marathon…
I am rarely on Twitter these days and about three weeks ago I wondered if Tom Harris, Labour MP for Glasgow South, had blocked me, like several of his comrades have. I tweeted to him:
“Testing. Am I blocked?”
To which he replied,
@stewartcowan Where the hell [...]

St Margaret of Assisi or the Woman Who Made Blair Possible? Reminiscing on the Thatcher Years

I now, finally, have the time and inclination to write about the life, death (and aftermath) of Margaret Thatcher. The Peter Brookes cartoon, incidentally, was published in The Times two days before the 1983 general election. It is equally valid thirty years later, as the “left” have their talons extended. A few venomous snakes and [...]

You Could Not Trust Cameron Then and You Cannot Trust Him Now

So, we’re to get a referendum on our EU membership/enslavement in the next four or five years, are we? That is, if people are nuts enough to vote for the David Cameron Party again next time, because Ed Miliband doesn’t want us to have one and I can’t see UKIP winning the election, although you [...]

Obama Declares War on Reality

Occasionally, there is an article in the mainstream media which is as good as you will find on the best blogs: honest, well-written and fearless. James Delingpole wrote such a piece yesterday. I will reproduce it here, lest the Telegraph realise their mistake and pull it. Fasten your seat belts…
When George W Bush declared war [...]

Alex Salmond’s Scotland: A Glimpse into the Future

My computer was recently reset to its factory settings and my decent graphics software has disappeared, so I had to use the free Microsoft ‘Paint’ programme, but I’m sure I have made my point!
This picture isn’t about the pros and cons of Scottish independence, but the cons of Alex Salmond as the politically correct, EU-loving [...]

Open Letter to MPs on the EU Referendum Debate and Vote

To all Members of Parliament,
Please vote on Monday to allow the people of the United Kingdom to have a say in OUR future. We demand the right to a referendum on EU membership, denied for so long and promised by Labour and Tory.
The time is now. Please don’t believe the following two common misconceptions:
1) The [...]

Who are the ‘Bigots’ in the ‘Gay Marriage’ Debate?

This has to be one of the saddest sights in the world, indicating a union of two people of the same sex who are settling for a fake life together, denying themselves the joy of true marriage, children and grandchildren.
Just to prove that the SNP are as keen to follow the same agendas as the [...]

The EU must die, or Europe will die. It’s that simple.

An oldie – and very vivid warning – from The Gates of Vienna (my emphasis throughout). It is worth reading the whole post, especially in light of this article out today: MPs warn over Turkey migrant risk to EU….
I know many Americans, and Europeans, too, have more or less written off Western Europe as lost [...]

Divide and Conquer means we could not even organise a knees-up in a brewery

I joined a Facebook group a few days ago called “Burn the EU Flag Day,” but after a brief spell on there tonight, I have the feeling that some people would like to burn the British Flag just as much. The silliest person was a Max Stone who was more interested in being anti-rest-of-the-UK than [...]
