By DiamondGeezer | Published: June 25, 2010
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 [...]

Fancy £100Kpa and a £2m house in Maida Vale? Come on down!

By scrubber | Published: February 16, 2010
Proof, as if proof were ever needed, that the incompetence of this Government knows no bounds. This article in the Daily Mail yesterday is a shocker… “A single mother-of-six is getting more than £80,000 a year from the taxpayer to live in a £2million mansion in an exclusive London suburb. Essma Marjam, 34, is given almost £7,000 [...]

Climate porn campaign drowns dog for £6m

By scrubber | Published: November 26, 2009
I make no apologies for pinching the title of this blog entry from the Register article of the same name; this has incensed me. The ramifications of this sort of thing are virtually endless.

Anthropogenic Global Warming; fact or fiction?

By scrubber | Published: November 23, 2009
