Common Sense. It's not so common…

These two posts brilliantly, in their own ways, sum the idiocy of Socialism up. Well worth a read:

Lock, Stock and Barrel
Labour – Make Poverty Permanent.

Sadly, we in Ipswich, and especially in Scrubber’s ward, have no UKIP candidates to vote for on May 5th. However, elsewhere mischief is afoot:

Disgruntled Tories defecting to UKIP

I’ll introduce this one with a quotation from it:

“If it sounds like I’m overdoing it, consider this: the PCC’s ruling must be among the first by any quasi-official body anywhere in the world to take the side of a Climate Change sceptic rather than that of the Warmist establishment.”

This has interesting implications for bloggers everywhere. As James says: “especially those doughty souls around the world who are battling against Establishment lies, bullying and cover ups to try to reveal the truth about the corrupt, mendacious Climate Change industry”…

UEA: the sweet smell of napalm in the morning…

Here’s another example of why the EU is costing us too much as a nation, and, it’s fair to say, another example of the shocking extent to which this Government is Euro-philic. Have you ever heard of the “EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) which puts limits on industrial emissions and results in higher energy prices for consumers and manufacturing industry”? No, nor had I…

If the Government accept a bailout of Portugal, they will be betraying the interests of British taxpayers

On the subject of the inevitable Portugese bail-out, Daniel Hannan explains all this to the EU Parliament. I don’t know which is more shocking: the facts he is stating, or the fact that he is being widely, and rudely ignored by virtually the entire chamber. It’s probably the first time, I might add, that I’ve actually seen any number of people in it… WTF do these parasites actually do?

It may seem, having added a 6th of 5, that I can’t count. However, this is so good that I have to include it. Call it a Saturday bonus, maybe in celebration of the youngest Scrubber’s birthday today. Required reading for Socialists everywhere:
