View Article  Deluded 'Happiness Agenda' at our expense
Every year, year on year of this NuLab government our education standards have fallen, ask any businessman who is reluctant to employ the growing army of illiterate candidates, who now are invading the halls of power, but their lack of knowledge and history shows as they try to implement policies that failed in East Germany.   more »
View Article  Stay thin, obey your man
A SELF-help guide that tells women to stay thin and follow their man's orders if they want to keep him has become a bestseller. One piece of advice reads: "Men never really ask for anything. They command. And believe me, what you won't do, 10 broads around the corner will."   more »

NATO naval grouping in Black Sea to be brought to 18 warships - Gen.Staff MOSCOW - The Russian military is concerned about the build-up of the NATO warship grouping in the Black Sea and does not believe their mission is to deliver humanitarian aid to Georgia. "The flurry of activity of the NATO naval forces, which continue building up their grouping in the Black Sea, arouses suspicion," Russian General Staff Deputy Head Col. Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn told the press in Moscow on Tuesday.   more »

View Article  Corporatists driving Tory Policy
Tory policy makers are again in total disarray. Again we see the spin machines at work, trying to play with the 'Nudge' but getting it badly wrong. As we wrote earlier this month, they cannot make up their mind over the big brother databases, with policies and statements that clearly counter each other (the only thing that is clear is that the Tories wont be getting rid of them), and then today there is this.   more »

Security guards and town hall workers are being armed with sweeping police-style powers, it has emerged. This allows them to hand out fines for a raft of offences, from dropping litter to riding a bike on the pavement. They can also stop cars to check their tax discs, seize alcohol from underage drinkers and demand people's names and addresses.   more »

Strangely, this has nothing to do with technology, really. It's more about knee-jerk reactions: A flagship database intended to protect every child in the country will be used by police to hunt for evidence of crime in a "shocking" extension of its original purpose   more »
View Article  PA Consulting at heart of £20bn ID card scheme is madness
Fresh questions have been raised over the Government's ID card project as it emerged that PA Consulting (at the centre of the criminal data fiasco) is at the heart of the £20bn ID Cards project. Home Office ministers have placed the company at the very centre of the controversial ID card project. Its consultants were each paid £160 an hour for working on the mechanics of the ID system as well as for pushing it through the legislative process, documents released by the Government show. The legal questions need to come thick and fast, with the primary question being WHO OWNS THIS DATA.   more »
View Article  WTC7 - collapsed because of 'debris fires'? - NIST report
The US Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced the results today of their, three-year scientific and technical building and fire safety investigation into the collapse of WTC 7 on 9/11 - which has intrigued many observers. The fall of the 47-story World Trade Center building 7 (WTC 7) was "primarily due to fires," and "was the first known instance of fire causing the total collapse of a tall building". No shit Sherlock!.   more »
View Article  Brown: When foreign leaders take the piss, you know its all over
He flies thousands of miles to Afghanistan, waking at 3am local time for a stomach-churning Hercules ride to Camp Bastion to meet Our Boys in the blistering heat, going on to talks in Kabul, and he still can't get away from his local difficulties with David Miliband.




As Brown dodged yet another question about Miliband with his stock response - "I'm getting on with the job." - Mr Karzai clearly decided the PM needed a little help.

"Cabinet ministers plotting is nothing new," he declared airily. "We have it in Afghanistan."

There was a squawk from an appalled-looking Afghan politician sitting beside the platform, and the president hastily added to laughter: "Not my foreign minister, though."

Brown turned a shade greener than he had when we finally got off that lurching Herc an hour earlier.

(Rosa Prince blog)


Its all over Brown, your just making yourself look totally bloody stupid. The greatest display you could give of what it is to be British would be to resign. Give it up quietly and let Britain regain some of its pride.





View Article  UK Government now the biggest threat to life and public safety
This country used to have very strict laws that made it illegal to pass or share information between government departments or 3rd parties. Those laws were there for a very good reason, this and former governments over the past 30 years have systematically destroyed EVERYTHING that made this country free, safe and legal. The UK Government is now the biggest threat to the life and public safety of every UK citizen. These amateur meddling politicians of all the parties need to be physically removed from Parliament and torn limb by limb then thrown to the baying dogs of public opinion before they can destroy anything else.   more »

View Article  LibDem kiss of death. Confirmation of their support for road pricing
The Liberal Democrats have released a discussion document for their autumn conference which promotes the introduction of national road pricing. They are delusional if they believe this proposal will endear them to the voting public and they clearly do not understand the economics of road pricing. The document entitled "Fast Track Britain: Building a Transport System for the 21st Century" clearly details their policy will be to introduce mass road pricing with vehicle tracking.   more »
View Article  Who Governs Britain #7 - All your data belong us
With every telephone call, swipe of a card and click of a mouse, information is being recorded, compiled and stored about Britain’s citizens. An investigation by The Sunday Telegraph has now uncovered just how much personal data is being collected about individuals by the Government, law enforcement agencies and private companies each day.

Insects cause climate change. That is the latest insane claim by eco-nuts about the reason for climate change.

View Article  Age of cheap gas over as Russia takes control of Turkmen gas
From the details coming out of Ashgabat in Turkmenistan and Moscow over the weekend, it is apparent that the great game over Caspian energy has taken a dramatic turn. In the geopolitics of energy security, nothing like this has happened before. The United States has suffered a huge defeat in the race for Caspian gas. The question now is how much longer Washington could afford to keep Iran out of the energy market. Gazprom, Russia's energy leviathan, signed two major agreements in Ashgabat on Friday outlining a new scheme for purchase of Turkmen gas.   more »

How much of the following sounds so familiar that it is frightening. When you read this, think of NuLab, of Blair, Brown and all the anti Terror legislation passed in the last 10 years, how it has all been rammed through with only token words from the opposition despite you loosing many freedoms and rights, then think about the Tories (who have opposed little to date and even suggested many anti freedom bills such as gagging the FOI Act, of Cameron, of the sham that David Davies pretend election was and how they will continue in the same vein when elected to Government.   more »

View Article  Persian Gulf: "Naval Blockade" or All Out War Against Iran?
The World is at a very dangerous crossroads. America in alliance with NATO and Israel has embarked upon a military adventure. The Bush administration has launched with the approval of the US Congress a naval blockade directed against Iran, which could be a first step towards an all out war. Military sources report a massive deployment of US and allied naval power in the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea directed against Iran. For Iran, a naval blockade enforced by some 80 war ships stationed in Middle East waters and off the Iranian coastline is tantamount to a declaration of war.   more »

Pensioners whose homes were vandalised with graffiti have been threatened with fines of up to £1,000 if they do not have it cleaned up.

If convicted they could face a maximum fine of £1,000.   more »

In the "old days", when God was an Englishman who loved to watch cricket, those who attended church could be sure of a robust sermon promising "fire and brimstone" delivered from the pulpit by a crusty old vicar. However, in Nanny's Britain, such a verbal ear bashing is now rather unlikely. For why? Nanny's chums from the local council's health and safety orifice have decreed that the pulpit in the Church of All Saints, in Wyke Regis Weymouth, presents a clear and present danger to the health of the vicar.   more »

View Article  Who governs Britain #2 - Not Cameron and the Tories
the Useless Tory Party’s answer is still to continue the same level of spending more or less as they are with a few fashionable tweaks and gimmicks. Once, this stupid and wrong policy could at least be excused by fear that the New Labour Monster might gird itself and slay the Conservatives once again with its dreaded Blairite death rays and the help of the shameless BBC. With that fear gone, it is obvious that the Cameroon rabble support the Blairite programme not because they are timid or feeble (though they may well be) but because they are in fact Blairites.   more »
