It’s official! Our children are even cleverer than last year

Firstly, apologies for the paucity of posts lately. I’ve been away a while, and the back-up team seems to have gone AWOL as well. Anyway, I popped home today for lunch and caught the local BBC News. The piece I saw was the usual short clip about how more A levels have been passed at higher [...]

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 [...]

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… Wikio Wikio

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 [...]

I am an Englishman.

I am an Englishman. We’re allowed to say that now without being accused of being a Little Englander and a racist, according to Lord Tebbit in his latest blog. The Prime Mentalist started it last week with another U-turn. After years of Labour’s covert-but-now-admitted policy to change our country by means of unlimited, uncontrolled, uncounted, unwarranted, [...]

Judge slams government for short sentences on teenage thugs – can broken Britain ever be fixed?

As was reported in the Daily Mail today, Judge Kerry Macgill has hit out at government statutory guidelines for not allowing long-term custodial sentences to be imposed. Four teenagers, including two girls, forced a 17-year-old with learning disabilities from the children’s home in which he lived and repeatedly kicked and punched him, poured boiling water over [...]
