Tony Blair up for another award…

By scrubber | Published: October 15, 2010
Ah, good old Tony… His mantelpiece must be groaning under the weight of all these awards. He is, truly, a man blessed with the bounties of life on earth… Money, fame, fantastic job, accolades and adulation, a lovely wife. Oh, perhaps not. I mean, would you? No, nor would I. Wikio Wikio

Hey hey Tony hey, how many kids have you killed today?

By scrubber | Published: September 4, 2010
Sky News reports that Tony Blair has been pelted with eggs and shoes at his book-signing in Dublin today. The following video is worth a watch, if only to wind yourself up listening to arse-licking turncoat Shaun Woodward’s sycophantic drivel: Unfortunately, the missiles thrown after he had emerged from the back of a car surrounded by a [...]

13 years of Labour: how much we have forgotten

By scrubber | Published: May 5, 2010
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… Wikio Wikio

Local papers: should they be neutral?

By scrubber | Published: May 3, 2010
I believe they should be, but something that appeared a few days ago in my local paper, the Ipswich Evening Star, has me thinking. It betrays an hypocrisy and a bias I’ve long sensed, but which hasn’t been quite so blatant until now. I’m wondering if desperation is beginning to set in the closer we [...]

Suffering from election fatigue?

By DiamondGeezer | Published: April 28, 2010
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 [...]

Euro-referendum: it might just happen…

By scrubber | Published: April 9, 2010
A bit late in the day, I know – we’ve all been snowed under recently – but I just picked this up from Daniel Hannan’s blog. My initial feeling, borne out by reading the comments after the blog, was that this was some CCHQ spin to try to counter the defections to UKIP by core [...]

Gordon Brown ignores ‘heckling’ father

By DiamondGeezer | Published: April 8, 2010
As reported in the Telegraph and in other national newspapers/broadcasts today, Gordon Brown was challenged by a father over why his children cannot get in to the schools they would like. I would highly recommend watching the video on the Telegraph article. Little amuses me more than seeing politicians (servants of the people?) [...]

Can David Cameron win this election or not?

By scrubber | Published: February 22, 2010
When, about a year or so ago, I started voicing my concerns about David Cameron’s “conservativeness”, and saying that I thought I’d have to vote UKIP to be true to my beliefs and values (which are essentially small ‘c’ conservative) and especially my Euro-scepticism, my friends (and others) thought I was mad. However, over time, [...]

Is Brown more presidential than Blair was?

By scrubber | Published: February 17, 2010
As previously reported, the Prime Mentalist came to Suffolk yesterday to lay down a curse or two. Apparently he swept into town with an entourage including motorcycle out-riders and unmarked black cars. The local rag, the Evening Star, covered this in some detail, highlighting some creative interpretation of speed limits by Brown’s drivers, and a [...]

William Hague performs well in PMQs

By scrubber | Published: January 27, 2010
William Hague destroyed Harridan Harperson today in PMQs (link to BBC iPlayer) where she was deputising for the Prime Mentalist. Vince Cable did a fair job as well. Watching HH was interesting, in a watching-paint-dry kind of way. She was poorly-prepared, wooden, perfunctory and lightweight. I’ve long been frustrated watching the Prime Mentalist blatantly not answering [...]
