Zac Goldsmith: what a twat.
I’m in catch-up mode after a couple of weeks working away and quite over-whelmed with the sheer volume of crap falling around our ears worthy of a blog or two. This one stands out, and although a few days old, needs wide dissemination…
We’re all well used to politicians not answering questions, their evasion tactics, obfuscation [...]
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 [...]

Why shouldn’t Britain go the same way as Greece? (and other musings)
Prevalent in the news today have been the riots in Greece. The country is now sufficiently unattractive to investors and ratings agencies that their bond markets have frozen, and due to this and their enormous deficit they are no longer able to service their debts.
Greek workers’ unions hold enormous sway, and thanks [...]

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…

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 [...]

The Department of Government Waste releases new information video.
Ok, this April Fool, which isn’t in the least funny, but excellent nonetheless, deserves its own blog entry.

23 senior businessmen slate Darling’s NI rises.
The Telegraph has published a letter today from 23 Chief Executives and other similarly-ranked businessmen trashing Alastair Darling’s plans to raise NI next year. The Labour spin machine has gone into overdrive, wheeling out Mandleson, so they must be rattled.
Anyone with half a brain can see that penalising employees earning over £20Kpa and their employers [...]

David Cameron; 10/10 for presentation skills
Along with about 1.7 million viewers, I watched David Cameron interviewed by Sir Trevor MacDonald last Sunday (14 March 2010). Apparently, Gordon Brown’s interview blub-fest with Piers Morgan on the same network last month achieved an audience of 4.2 million.
I don’t know if the difference can be accounted for by the car-crash effect, where ghouls [...]
