Thoughts on current political processes and the Liberal Democrats.
| We Live in a Country in which Academics, not Police and Government, protect our Civil Liberties 30th May 2009 10:01:10 |
Our civil liberties, and those of tens and hundreds of thousands of foreign students are being protected by our academics rather than our Government. Not that anyone's suprised. You'll be calling me "Citizen ID#46T8HH02" soon if Jacqui Smith has her way. It's hard to write things like this without sounding like a tinfoil-hat wearing nutjob, and that's what scares me. The truth is far worse than anything you could make up. |
| How Hypocritical can you get? The Daily Mail tests previous perceptions... 9th May 2009 00:01:19 |
Of course, nobody would accuse the Daily Mail of hypocrisy, sympathising with Andrew Sachs after the media horribly published photos of his granddaughter in a variety of lewd poses constantly. That damn media. |
| A Licence to Let for all Landlords 5th May 2009 07:32:45 |
The Times reports on new Government plans to require every landlord in the country to register with a central agency for the sum of £50. This fee will go solely towards paying for the organisation that manages landlords. That's the Government, giving you handy credit-crunch tips on minimizing your outgoings, every single day. |
| OH MY GOD WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!! 26th Apr 2009 18:35:01 |
Breaking News: We're all going to die of Mexican Pig Flu. The British Media is assisting the public by keeping everyone calm with balanced headlines. Like mine. |
| Darling, can you pass the Budget? 22nd Apr 2009 09:14:49 |
The BBC leads with pessimism today, with the heading "Budget to Reveal Depths of Gloom". Wouldn't it be lovely to hear some good news for once? Well, we're not going to. A drop in the economy of 3.5% will be the biggest peacetime collapse in a hundred years. I can't sum this up any better. |
| The Sweeping Power of the State 18th Apr 2009 09:02:31 |
A worrying fortnight in terms of stories about the power and role of the state. We have a policeman assaulting a man, and today learn that it appears he died of internal bleeding, rather than a heart attack as previously thought, the Cabinet continue to fiddle their expenses, Dame Green's emails were searched through in a blatant snooping exercise, and the Government finally admits that its' counter-terrorism laws are being abused by local councils and civil servants. |
| Jacqui Smith is turning Blue with Rage 29th Mar 2009 17:54:51 |
In a fabulous display of "totally missing the big picture", the press greets us today with the hugely amusing news that Jacqui Smith's husband has been watching porn at taxpayer's expense. Simple calculations show she cost us approximately 1.5 ten-thousandth of a penny each, so this is all very serious stuff. |
| Abortion Ads on TV 27th Mar 2009 11:35:22 |
A sad reflection on our society when advertisements for abortion will be shown on our television screens. |
| MP's are Expenses to have around... 23rd Mar 2009 22:32:41 |
How absolutely wonderful. What fun. As the news unfolds about Labour MP Tony McNulty's expense claims, we learn that 20 other London MPs are claiming "second house" expenses. |
| The Pope, because Rubber Shaped like a Willy is Sinful 17th Mar 2009 21:40:15 |
The Pope, continuing God's holy work of worrying over where everyone's willy is at any given time, has again reminded us that putting a plastic sheath around the penis is immoral, but Holocaust Denial is fine. |
