The appropriately named Mr Bean, deputy governor of the Bank of England, urges us all to go out on a spending spree to help bring the country out of recession. Marvellous! Idiotic bankers got us into this mess and had to be bailed out using our money. That didn’t stop them paying themselves huge bonuses [...]

Having just scraped through another recession it seems there’s more to come as £40billion gets wiped off the value of Britain’s biggest companies as a result of concern over the health of the banking system (Daily Mail, June 30th 2010). Interest rates on savings are at an all-time low and the Chinese economy appears to [...]

Following the budget the Public Sector unions were up in arms with Dave Prentis, leader of Unison, declaring “If the Government picks a fight, we will be fierce defenders of our members and the services they deliver”. Christine Blower, general secretary of the NUT, appears to be ready to cause chaos in the classroom. So [...]

Now, as we are about to find out just how bad things are, I’m getting increasingly frustrated by economists and the like poring over their numbers. You can analyse to your heart’s content but something a little more meaningful than that is what’s required. Getting the deficit down is essential, obviously, but building for the [...]

Oh purlease! When will the stupid dipsticks in Government STOP! It’s not a witch-hunt… David Laws may have been trying to hide his homosexual relationship but at the end of the day he STOLE £40,000. That’s the problem, not the fact he’s been ‘outed’. Get the message you IDIOTS – don’t STEAL. David Laws was [...]

“I had been drinking”, says Fergie! So that makes it okay then? Does she think we came down with the last shower of rain? Next time I’m caught out – not that I have the energy to be caught out these days – I’ll just say I was very, very drunk at the time and [...]

Plaid Cymru and SNP are complaining that they have been excluded from the televised debate by the three ‘main’ parties. Some have said that allowing other party leaders into the debate would open the floodgates while others say that SNP and Plaid Cymru have elected members in Westminster so should be entitled to their say.

It appears that he Government is exempt from the Data Protection Act and, indeed anti-SPAM legislation too! Or, does the unsolicited e-mail to NHS doctors and consultants pressurising them to support Labour not count? Whatever it is, its a damn good reason to keep your details to yourself if even your Government will use them [...]

I know, it’s a complete pain to be stuck somewhere when you want to be somewhere else. It’s also highly irritating when the ‘wrong type of snow’ is quoted as the reason. Eurostar have a major problem in the PR department. And so do YOU! And YOU are all those people out there who want [...]

Well! That’s causing a jolly stir isn’t it! What’s the problem? The BNP is a legal party with a democratically elected leader (more than Labour can say). Is the BNP good for Britain? Probably not. Am I happy that Nick Griffin is on Question Time? Not really. My question is was it inevitable? Given where [...]
