PRIDE Part II: ‘Proud to be a British Muslim’ (a lesson in mind-control)

I don’t know if buses are still carrying this advert, but I came across it lately on an old leaflet from 2008 which was in my “to read” pile. I have finally read it! The leaflet was issued by Arab World Ministries whose noble mission is “Building Christ’s Church among Arab peoples.”
Before discussing the best [...]

Is Cameron a traitor too?

Real Street is listed as a political blog, so I thought I’d do some politics as I have been a bit slow of late. I have wanted to comment on much, but at the end of the day lately, I’m afraid I’ve not been much bothered about writing. I’m in the mood just now, so [...]

Burkas, bad. Stone Age toilets, good.

Time for me to get all Daily-Maily on you with these two stories:
Calls grow for burka ban in Britain as French outlaw Islamic ‘walking coffins’ and
Shopping centre bosses approve ‘Asian squat toilets’ following cultural awareness course
It’s all a game and once again this just proves it. On the one hand, a tiny number of Muslim [...]

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 [...]

X-Factor politics has arrived as Nick Clegg “nearly as popular as Winston Churchill”

The Leaders’ Debate on the telly has prompted huge support for the Lib Dems. Not only does a YouGov survey for the Sunday Times suggest that Nick Clegg is now the most popular party leader since Winston Churchill, but a BPIX poll for The Mail on Sunday puts the Lib Dems in first place: a [...]

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. [...]

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, [...]

Gordon spews forth in Coventry

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 [...]

Even Labour MPs hate their own stupid laws

I had the privilege and pleasure of talking to Dr Ian Paisley in December after he helped install a new minister in the local Free Presbyterian church. I was keen to know what he thought about climate change. Well, I thought I was angry at the skulduggery!
Anyway, Tom Harris tweeted last night that he had [...]
