The bias of the national broadcaster, formerly known for strict impartiality reached dizzying heights this weekend as the deadline for a Brexit deal was reached. Whether that particular word should be used is extremely dubious. In the Brexit context, it’s new definition is nothing more than the latest target in a long list of missed targets. Almost gleefully, they tell the tale of how “major, unresolved topics” prevented such a deal and that the ultimate deadline was December

When 7UP first came out in 1929, it contained added lithium. A new study in the British Journal of Psychiatry has led to calls for the government to add it to drinking water in an effort to reduce suicides. Growing numbers of people have been taking their own lives due to the effect of measures put in place to combat Covid-19. In effect, the government is considering taking measures to combat the effects of other government measures. Who’d believe you if you made that up? Lit

National ‘emergencies‘ always bring forth ever greater erosion of freedom. War, Pandemic or Terrorism are the usual excuses for authoritarian government to up the ante. When the mindless are begging for everybody to obey police state diktat, sorry, belay begging, replace with demanding. I never thought I’d see in my life time police forces setting up road blocks demanding to know where you have come from and where you are going. We have a tradition of local police forces that

Confirmation that Boris Johnson and Ursula Von Der Leyen will call each other this afternoon could be seen as a positive sign that there is a breakthrough imminent on Brexit. However, both sides are warning that news of a big breakthrough may be premature. Three major sticking points remain; fishing rights, the rules governing state subsidies for business and how the agreement is governed, with the EU wanting everything decided by the European Courts of Justice (ECJ). With th

To say I was shocked and surprised was an understatement. Whilst having breakfast with my youngest daughter yesterday, she asked “Is Brexit going to be bad instead of good for the country? My cookery teacher told us it is going to be really bad and we will have to buy chlorinated chicken and all other things will be bad too.” She then went onto ask me “Did you lie when you said that you think Brexit will be a good thing for our country?” I was totally taken aback and went o

I watched the proceedings in Parliament yesterday with mounting disgust. In my sixties now, I am old enough to remember the giants on both sides of the house. They were men and women of conviction and principle. The ragtag of time servers aping being ‘representatives’ of the people was embarrassing to watch – cringe-worthy was the kindest word I could say. Jeremy Corbyn, as much as I despised his two faced 1970’s trendy Marxism, stands head and shoulders above this miserable

We appear not at one crossroads but many. The current COVID saga and the resulting chaotic rules rumble on, alongside the continuation of Brexit negotiations, combined with a backdrop of lockdown, BLM and xR protests, a fight for our culture, a battle for free speech and the devastating erosion of our civil liberties. As the government secures more powers and builds more debt than it has ever done before, we ask ourselves, “what of the future?” It may be true that life is alw

For those of us living in the north and midlands of England, the nearest restaurant might just as well be in the far flung reaches of the galaxy. We are not allowed to go there anyway. But just imagine there was a satirical science fiction show, with quasi-political undertones, that set out to create the barmiest rules possible for one of those evil eating establishments. Is it the food that leads to the spread of the virus? One would assume not, since many, many businesses a

The Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, has hinted that he is thinking of introducing a 1% pay cap for public sector workers. He should not just be hinting at the idea but pressing forward with it. It comes as no surprise that the Labour Party have hit out and were quoted on Sky News saying “It is a kick in the teeth for the public sector.” I beg to differ, as the public sector has not had it as tough as the private sector where millions of people had to live on 80% of their salary duri

This is probably the moment that the Johnson Administration fell apart , not the departure of Dominic Cummings, but the resignation of Sir Alex Allan who found that Patel had breached the Ministerial code over allegations of bullying and swearing at her staff, but Boris tried and failed to get him to tone down his report. Priti ‘PR’ Patel is one of those politicians that has brought this country to its knees. She goes nowhere without her personal photographer. Everything is a

On Wednesday the truth about Christmas and the plan that this Conservative government is planning to lay before us is absolutely insane and is a stab at the very fabric of the nation and its people. For nearly a year now they have fed us with information which flip flops from one Covid-19 policy to another. We entered lockdown 2 and were told that this should end on December 2nd reverting back to the tiered system based on regional statistics. We have to remember that the Cov

Boris sporting his beloved Union Flags behind him has gone public believing that devolution has been a disaster, yesterday the First Minister of Scotland imprisoned two and a half million Scots because she can , and the Welsh First Minister has been putting Wales through a super lockdown because he can too. There is the added complication of the American President Presumptive getting involved with the Good Friday Agreement because ‘He is Irish’ Like so many disasters this lac

“Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives” – Ronald Reagan It is plainly obvious that this, and other governments are doing far too much of the latter nowadays, but are they even doing the former – and most important? Protecting the people has to include protecting their interests and assets. As discussed yesterday, the UK’s fishing waters are a national asset, but where is the protection? As recently as 2015, EU vessels caught 683,000 tonnes (£48

Having got the basic principle through Parliament with a minimal backbench revolt, our Prime Minister, pushed along in a totalitarian direction by the likes of Gove and Hancock, now sees fit to add “guidelines” at will. Supermarkets where non-essentials are on a separate floor are now required to block the whole floor off. The irony of Walsall Tesco’s blocking off escalators with pallets of Corona lager was not lost on shoppers. Other stores used piles of Christmas chocolates

Is it enough to make you scream yet? The shock was that it took Theresa May to raise the issue of the lack of a cost/benefits analysis of lockdown, which many think would show that the lockdown costs outweigh the benefits. A shock that it took this betrayer of Brexit to show the failings in Boris Johnson’s thinking. Macmillan estimate there are 50,000 extra undiagnosed cancer victims walking around. The Telegraph reported 35,000 cancer deaths and rising, possibly as high as 2

FORD: Alright, just stop panicking! ARTHUR: Who said anything about panicking?!? This is still just a culture shock. FORD: Arthur! You’re getting hysterical. Shut up! VOGON GUARD: Resistance is useless! FORD: You can shut up as well! VOGON GUARD: Resistance is useless! FORD: Oh, give it a rest! Do you really enjoy this sort of thing? VOGON GUARD: Resistance is……what d’ ya mean? FORD: I mean does it give you a full satisfying life? Stomping around, shouting, throwing people ou

If you’re in a pub when the final bell tolls tonight, you may possibly be witnessing the last “last orders” for many of these establishments. Pubs are being blamed for the spike in “cases” of Covid which coincides with the reopening of schools and colleges and the onset of winter. Oddly enough, this strange phenomenon called “winter” happens every year. They have seen their businesses take a near-fatal hit, barely recover through the summer, suffered intrusions into the priva

There was once in the days of satire a revolting character called ‘Tory Boy’ on Television , well this under-educated chump has grown up (well he is out of puberty at least) and is running the country or rather ruining the country. This little twerp has a different ‘career’ path to ninety five per cent of the population. He has often attended a public school and has never had a job or met a ‘real person’ other than to throw bread rolls at in a West End Restaurant. Even the La

The Libertarian Party unequivocally opposes a second lockdown as a solution to this virus. The Libertarian Party supports the Great Barrington Declaration and calls for the immediate disbandment of SAGE and its reliance on Imperial’s flawed projections. The Libertarian Party notes that WHO has already spoken out against such lockdowns. The Libertarian Party maintains that the collapse of the economy and the accelerated death toll of untreated heart disease and cancers is obse

This is Hamza Yousaf Minister of ‘Justice’ in the SNP Holyrood Government ( please note the tartan tie to reinforce this) He is proposing a Hate Crimes Bill that actually extends the Policeman in every bedroom to the Policeman at each dinner table. If you think about this logically there are not enough policemen in Scotland to monitor your hate speech around the dinner table. So monitoring can be done by a camera in every home as per ‘1984’ or by the most sinister method know
