It is a strange irony that the greater the number of social networking websites which appear, the less people are allowed to say before getting into trouble with the Thought Police and their snitches.
The agenda is exactly the same all over the Western World: make people feel afraid of expressing opinions that are “off-message”. It’s globalism; global tyranny. It is [...]

Or both?
Firstly, I think the woman is horrendous, particularly for her campaign to have abortion legalised in Northern Ireland, despite the protestations from all parts of the community there. Typical socialist: we don’t care how you want to live or what you hold precious, we’re going to tell you what to do.
However, this doesn’t imply [...]

I am thinking of having this blog redesigned. Any ideas, suggestions or improvements which could be made?
I think the width should be reduced to make reading easier, and maybe one of the side columns removed.
Do you find that the pages tend to load slowly?
Would extra features help, like receiving an email when someone else comments [...]

It’s that time of year again – actually, it seems later than usual – when Total Politics gives us the chance to vote for our favourite bloggers. This year you can also vote for your favourite blog writers and political tweeter. I have just filled it in. You need to list at least five in [...]

The silliest person was a Max Stone who was more interested in being anti-rest-of-the-UK than [...]

This was not in China or Burma, but in Washington state, USA.
A Tacoma seventh grader faced federal interrogation at school for what he posted on his Facebook page.  His mom said it all happened without her knowledge or permission.
After Osama bin Laden was killed, 13-year-old Vito LaPinta posted an update to his Facebook status that [...]

Further to my last post about Sunny Hundal removing my comments from a post on Liberal Conspiracy for alleged “homophobia,” I noticed this post of Iain Dale’s from four months ago.
What a truly disgusting site Liberal Conspiracy can be.
Ah, so it’s not a new phenomenon?
It comes to something when it falls to another left wing [...]

I don’t usually slag off other bloggers because they are entitled to their opinion as much as I am and after all, if you disagree with the post, you can always leave your own comments underneath and an interesting and intelligent debate may follow.
I rarely visit Liberal Conspiracy, whose editor is Sunny Hundal, but I [...]

The obvious answer is when it’s not funny. Now a joke is not a joke when a judge decides. I’m talking, of course, about the Twitter Joke Trial of Paul Chambers, who, last winter, tweeted: “Crap! Robin Hood airport is closed. You’ve got a week and a bit to get your sh** together otherwise I’m [...]
