Tories to Tax Children’s Pocket Money

Today sees the start of the “Bedroom Tax”
The aim is to tackle overcrowding and encourage a more efficient use of social housing.
Says the government, as they keep allowing in millions of migrants and giving them council houses. As many as 660,000 people will be affected and the saving will be a paltry £465m a year [...]

Hope Not Hate: Monitor and Oppose UKIP When Necessary

My attention was drawn to this piece on Hope Not Hate’s website: Hope not hate takes a position on UKIP. Because these people are “celebrating Britain’s diverse society” anyone who wants to preserve our own culture is quarry to be eyed with suspicion and therefore “monitored “.
There seems to be a great desire for two-thirds [...]

Indian Scammer

Please be aware of this telephone scam I have just been the intended victim of.
This con has already fooled many people around the world and continues to, despite being popular for a few years now. It gives the con artists remote access to your computer so they can steal your credit card details or any [...]

Roll Up! Roll Up! Everything in Scotland Will Be Free. Come On In, Everyone!

Alex Salmond does it again. After “independence” (i.e. ruled directly from Brussels, cutting out the Westminster middlemen), it will be enshrined in the Scottish constitution (to last forever) that everyone in the rest of the EU can come here and get a free university education. So Stavros from Thessalonica or Olga from Riga or, when [...]

On Youcef Nadarkhani’s Release: Faith Beats Natural Instincts

I have been far too busy to blog lately, but I must comment on Youcef Nadarkhani’s release from an Iranian jail at the weekend.
I have only just found out, three days later, because work has eaten into the time I usually have to explore the web.
It is very sweet to discover that he has been [...]

Amazing diagram shows who really runs the World

Who really runs the World? Well, it’s not you or I, obviously. It isn’t even the politicians. This amazing diagram gives a much better idea. The Bilderberg Group is becoming increasingly well known due to members of the public and various groups exposing them. Just a few years ago, its existence was just a “conspiracy [...]

Frisking an MP’s voting record

I decided to frisk my MP’s voting record after disagreeing with a fellow constituent on Facebook, who argued that politicians look after their constituents’ interests before party loyalties are considered. Let’s see who was right (as if we need to, but anyway…).
Russell Brown is the (Labour) MP in question.
“Voted moderately for the hunting ban” – [...]

Has Daniel Hannan just been stringing us along?

Dan Hannan confidently predicts that there will be an EU referendum.
The question of whether there will be, or should be, a referendum on our continued membership and the terms of that membership is the hottest topic in politics. Too late. We’ve already made that decision. There will be one. It’s just that only now are [...]

A good time for flags (unless you are Eric Pickles)

Hello everybody. It has been such a good time for selling flags that there has been little time left for blogging or much else. I have been working fourteen hours a day, maybe more. If I was an employee I would probably be taking myself to a tribunal for being overworked and underpaid. It was [...]

Some Politicians Have Been Talking Sense (then there’s the LibDems)

Britain has been stunned by a series of commonsense statements from Labour politicians
Labour MP, yes, Labour MP, David Lammy, has called for a return to Victorian laws on discipline, and basically condemns Labour Governments for their namby-pamby approach.
One day, even Labour MPs will realise that traditional values are/were better, such as effective discipline, traditional marriage, UK independence, [...]
