Multi-culti, middle-class, left-wing, prickocracy

By scrubber | Published: July 5, 2011
Step forward the BBC and the Guardian. Yes! You! Pat Condell, no wallflower he, is really on form here (and a new word too). I challenge a Guardian-reader to listen all the way through and accept that he has some valid points… How apposite is that: “Prickocracy! Love it. Wikio Wikio

Fire Sale!

By scrubber | Published: April 4, 2011
Ok, quiz time… What is the missing word, and when was the following written? “The ****** government in Britain is imposing budget cuts in the Fire and Rescue Service (FRS) that will result in hundreds of job losses and compromise public safety. The Audit Commission, the unelected body used by the central government to impose market-based discipline [...]

Three cheers for Theresa Villiers!

By scrubber | Published: May 21, 2010
Hat-tip to Daniel Hannan for this one: From Dan’s blog: “The excellent Theresa Villiers has given her first executive order as a minister: she wants the EU flag removed from her department. In the Yes, Minister world which she and several dozen colleagues have just entered, civil servants will often seek to frustrate or dilute any instructions of [...]

The motion proposing this traditional vote, will be laid before the House by Sir Peter Tapsell, the new Father of the House at around 14:30. The members all shout “Aye” [...]

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

Gordon Brown and New Labour; more excuses than Roger the Dodger…

By scrubber | Published: April 30, 2010
Bigotgate again, I’m afraid. Today’s Daily Mail carries a story in which it is claimed that the Prime Mentalist called Mrs. Duffy a bigot because he misheard her. This has shades of Mandleson’s “chumps” claim. For those of you who don’t remember, back in September last year, during the Labour Party Conference, the Sun announced its [...]

Liberal Democrats just as bad as all the rest

By DiamondGeezer | Published: April 29, 2010
What really, really annoys me about all this is the incredibly sanctimonius attitude Nick Clegg takes when talking about MP’s expenses. Yes, of course it was a terrible scandal, and we’re all very angry about it. He, however, is basing almost his entire campaign (let’s face it, his tinpot policies rarely see the [...]

Cause a political earthquake; oust the troughing Squeaker!

By scrubber | Published: April 22, 2010
Hat-tip to Guido for this, which needs to be shared far and wide… Donate to Nigel Farage’s campaign to oust expenses-fiddling John Bercow from Parliament. Yes, the allegedly Tory, now allegedly neutral one with the wife who’s a Labour candidate for Westminster Council in the forthcoming elections… As Nigel says: “If I can topple the Speaker, I [...]

General Election announced for 6th May 2010

By DiamondGeezer | Published: April 6, 2010
Britain’s worst-kept secret is now out in the open. The Labour party, bankrupt and in hock to the unions, could never in a million years afford to have local and general elections on different days; nor could it afford to get hammered in one and then the other in successive weeks or months. So the [...]
