Britain exploits the mentally challenged…
So says the excellent Matthew Wright, presenter of Channel 5’s Wright Stuff of Britain’s Got Talent. I kind of agree with him too, wondering how on earth they manage to find so many deluded people to expose themselves in front of millions. Most of them are utterly talentless, and clearly suffering from various types of [...]
The economic consequences of Mr. Brown
My thanks to our blogging colleague Old Holborn for bringing our attention to the following youtube clip of a speech by Professor Stein Ringen, and thence, by extension, the rather longer version below it. The subject is a book by Professor Ringen called “The Economic Consequences of Mr Brown”: quite a subject…
The good Professor is [...]

Scroungers on £42k a year benefits because they’re better off not working
Today’s instalment of why Britain is so totally screwed after 13 years of Labour administration is brought to us by thisismoney.co.uk. To summarise, Peter Davey and his wife Claire have seven children, with yet another one on the way, and have an ‘income’ of £815 per week (£42,500 pa) entirely in benefits. To [...]
Woman not allowed to take dog on bus on religious grounds
Instalment number two of ‘The World’s Gone Mad’ is this example, again from the Telegraph.
Judith Woods has twice in the last week been refused access to a bus because she wanted to take a dog with her. As far as my experience goes, you’re always allowed to take dogs on buses, unless they’re particularly [...]

MPs sleaze, greed, incompetence and fraud: a timely reminder
Before you cast your vote tomorrow, take a look at these two films and remind yourself what and whom you are voting for…
These films courtesy of Gary Walker, the Independent Parliamentary Candidate for Lincoln, are extremely well-made and powerful. In these days of high-paced media-action, we forget so much so fast.
MPs expenses, the scandal and [...]

13 years of Labour: how much we have forgotten
This film speaks for itself: it should be compulsory viewing for anyone tempted to vote Labour tomorrow.
It wasn’t until the end that I realised who’d made it: powerful stuff. I wonder how they kept it so short…

Suffering from election fatigue?
I think I probably am, but not in the ways you might immediately think.
In this era of media- and spin-led politics, we are seemingly interminably subjected to a constant barrage of soundbites, ‘news’, glad-handing, palm-pressing, baby-kissing and any other inconsequential drivel that our political classes and their sycophants in the media care to inflict upon [...]

Lord Sugar gives £400,000 to Labour’s election campaign
For a man who’s allegedly worth £800m, Alan Sugar appears to have very little nous. It’s hard to understand why a man who had an apparently hard start in life followed by what is by anyone’s criteria, a highly successful business career, would throw away the best part of half-a-mill of his hard-earned on a [...]
