Quote of the day

“I do agree with him that it’s fundamentally important that we listen to the British people unless we know that they won’t agree with us, the Lisbon Treaty being a prime example, in which case we are perfectly entitled to ignore them and push our own agenda forward”
- Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, responding to Health [...]

Nazi orgies are disgusting but are still none of our business

Dear Max Mosley.
Yikes.  Even though you are a powerful man as boss of Formula 1’s governing body, this really was a bit of a shocker.  Being caught with a prostitute is one thing, but being caught with five prostitutes engaging in a sado-masochistic ‘Nazi orgy’ was probably a bit of overkill.  Should anyone care?  Well, [...]

Let us hope they are right, for everyone’s sake

And in the latest attack on freedom of speech….

Looks like Geert Wilders has been censored thanks to threats from faceless religious extremists (otherwise known as ‘cowards’) after all.

Place your bets now on whether any British or European politician will stand up for freedom of speech and criticise these sickos.

My political clairvoyance strikes again

Dear Michael Martin,
I don’t mean to blow my own political trumpet, but a few days ago I made the following statement in a letter to you: ”Your feet-stomping antics throughout the debate about MPs’ expenses makes me think two things: firstly, that you are not acting in the best interests of politics in this country; and [...]

Quote of the day

“There have been some baggage performance issues”
- A British Airways spokesman on the chaos at Heathrow’s Terminal Five on its opening day.

I support Geert Wilders 100% with his film against Islam

Dear Geert Wilders,
No doubt you have noticed the panic in the eyes of many Dutch and European politicians at the release of your film on Islam.  Many authorities are bracing themselves for protests now that your film is available.  The question in many people’s minds is should the film have been released – and the [...]

Quote of the day

From yesterday’s Telegraph:
“Gordon Fischer, an ally of Mr Obama, had to apologise this week when he wrote in his blog that [Bill Clinton's] negative campaigning had left a “stain on his legacy, much worse, much deeper, than the one on Monica’s blue dress”

Train drivers are unbelievably greedy and selfish

Dear readers,
I was reading through the papers this morning, thinking who would be the lucky recipient of my next letter, when I received an email telling me that my commute to work next week was going to become a nightmare thanks to a strike by South West trains over pay.  I was on the point [...]

Her face is a bit higher, Charles

“…and may I just say how wonderful it is to finally see you with your clothes on”

Thought for the day

After reading a couple of days ago that men are apparently worried about feeling less masculine with the increasing role of females in society, it would have been nice to see some stories empowering men and demonstrating the key role that we play in society – which is why I was a little disappointed to [...]

Thought for the day

Hillary Clinton is desperate to push her credentials as an experienced politician, especially in the field of foreign policy.  However, the latest scandal about her ’sexing up’ her previous roles does her a great disservice.  Her recent claim that she was under sniper fire when she arrived in Bosnia looks a little ropey to me.  Watch [...]

Michael Martin heaps further shame on the Commons

Dear Michael Martin,
Talk about a dog with a bone.  You just don’t give up, do you!  Having been bypassed and overruled on several occasions recently about MPs’ expenses, you obviously feel a need to make your own personal contribution to wasting taxpayers’ money by blowing £100,000 on trying to stop an investigation into MPs wasting [...]

George Bush finally meets his intellectual equal

Quote of the day

“Scientists claim that if I spend £2.50 a day on someone else it will make me happy. I have been spending far more than this on our MPs’ pensions and it doesn’t make me feel happy at all”
- Allen Booth, of Redhill, Surrey, in a letter to The Daily Telegraph.

Thought for the day

Crikey.  After Eliot Spitzer set the bar pretty high for Mayors of major American cities when it comes to bad behaviour, it seems that he was actually quite late to the party as other Mayors are clearly way ahead of him.

No Mr Brown, we don’t need to defend the Union

Dear Gordon Brown,
Your article in the Telegraph today that desperately clings to the notion of a Union is just hot air masked as a newspaper column.  Your inability to understand the feelings of the general public are trumped only by your blinkered view of how the British Isles should be run.
Of course there are some [...]

Public servants clock up 306 million air miles in 12 months

“Sorry, did I miss anything?”
Downing Street alone racked up 38.4 million miles, which is no surprise given Gordon’s track record of disappearing whenever the going gets tough! Obviously MPs and civil servants need to get around places, but surely these numbers demonstrate wastage on a massive scale.

Break from blogging

Blogging will return on Tuesday morning, after a couple of days of excellent food courtesy of my mum.  Hope you are enjoying the freezing temperatures and snow that March so regularly brings….

Thought for the day

How ironic that teddy bears are coming to the rescue of Bear Sterns.
