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 [...]

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 [...]

In catch-up mode, came across this excellent news on Guido’s blog. Nick Hogan, the “controller of a space” where smoking took place has been released from a term of 6 [...]

EU determines UK immigration law in landmark Somali case
EU judges yesterday passed a (little-reported) landmark ruling that could have cataclysmic consequences for the UK’s immigration policy and benefits system.
Nimco Hassan Ibrahim, a 34 year old Somali woman, has been granted a right to a home in Britain by the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg.

Greater Manchester Police record snowball fights as ’serious violent crime’
Gratefully received from a friend of mine, this week’s first dose of insanity involves the Greater Manchester Police recording snowball fights as serious violent crime. As the article makes clear, ’serious violent crime’ is supposed to be incidents such as murder, rape and inflicting injury with a weapon. Clearly it would have to [...]

Fancy £100Kpa and a £2m house in Maida Vale? Come on down!
Proof, as if proof were ever needed, that the incompetence of this Government knows no bounds. This article in the Daily Mail yesterday is a shocker…
“A single mother-of-six is getting more than £80,000 a year from the taxpayer to live in a £2million mansion in an exclusive London suburb.
