March moans..

Heavens above! What a week..

Brown strutting around the EU trying to persuade all and sundry that the calamitous state of affairs in the UK is all the fault of everyone else and that we should all spend ourselves stupid in a bizarre and doomed attempt to climb out of the abyss.

In denial of the fact that the UK is likely to get screwed hardest of all by the current crisis because of his failure to monitor the situation, profligate spending and abject incompetence all round. And all this in the face of the comments by the Bank of England that the spendfest has to stop.

A government report (Rose) is expected to suggest primary school kids learn more about blogging and using Wikipedia. How sad. Another example of New Labour's mantra that IT is the answer to all society's ills and the key to some brave new world of educated, employable, highly-skilled and rounded citizens. I'd suggest 'illiterate and inarticulate computer nerds'.

Brown envelopes stuffed with used fivers? Another NuLab minister has been claiming shedloads of cash allowances for his parents' house despite his own home being convenient for Westminster. It seems he may not even have stayed there!

On top of Jacqui Smith's similar situation (ooh, er Mrs!) vis-a-vis her sister's house and other cases, it just goes to show that Labour have outsleazed the Tory administration of the mid-'90s in spades.

BBC Reply re Emily (The Blessed) Maitlis: Sorry, not sorry!

Re the recent Newsnight/ Saint Emily bias story, BBC clearly #SorryNotSorry Definitely time to end the grossly unfair licence tax! "Thanks for registering a complaint. We would like to make absolutely clear that Emily Maitlis was not ‘removed’ or ‘suspended’ from the programme on 27 May, despite much speculation to the contrary. She herself has tweeted that she ‘asked for the night off’.  The BBC must uphold the highest standards of due impartiality in its news output. We reviewed the entirety of Newsnight on Tuesday May 26th, including the opening section, and while we believe the programme contained fair, reasonable and rigorous journalism, we feel that we should have done more to make clear the introduction was a summary of the questions we would examine, with all the accompanying evidence, in the rest of the programme. As it was, we believe the introduction we broadcast did not meet our standards of due impartiality. Our staff have been reminded of the guidelines....

The 48-hour Twitter walkout..

Whilst making the most of forty-eight Twitter-free hours - actually, I (temporarily) deactivated my account on Sunday evening - I’ve realised there’s no outlet for intemperate rants about the endless succession of bloody irritating, if not infuriating, stories in the news, not least courtesy of the official state broadcaster, the (#DefundThe..) BBC. So, methinks, let’s update the blog! Delighted to see that ‘Sir’ – I do hope that boat has sailed! – Lewis Hamilton has decided to add being an ‘anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist’ to his portfolio of achievements, alongside race-baiting supporter of the anarcho-Marxist BLM organization. He may have deleted the message saying he hadn’t read the material, so he’s either a dolt or simply got caught being a pillock! And, regards ‘taking it up the ‘knee’’, our Lewis’ll be making damn sure that the half dozen F1 drivers who ARE standing up against compulsory breast-beating and the wearing of hair-shirts get as much negative exposure as he ...

Grumpy ramblings over the 'migrant' issue..

Why, oh why does the left seem so desperate to see North-Western Europe overrun by migrants from Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, North Africa and the Horn of Africa and points South and East? By most measures and certainly in comparison to the regions whence the migrant streams originate, North-Western Europe is wealthy, prosperous, safe, socially, educationally, technologically and industrially advanced. It offers a fabulously high standard of living, with free healthcare, free schooling and damn near full employment. Minorities enjoy rights across Europe that they would not even dream of in most of the countries of origin of the migrants arriving today. Equality of gender, sexuality and race and freedoms of expression, assembly and religion are well established. The rule of law works pretty well. In contrast, the regions from where hundreds of thousands are setting off on often expensive and perilous journeys towards this perceived utopia are under-developed socially, industrially and ...
