Blair Sets His Sights On Europe

Blair suddenly popped up at Westminster, all empty smiles, after hiding away in his luxury Jerusalem hotel. Up he popped a few weeks ago and bought another UK house, this time a country pile.

Educa-shun, Educa-shun, Educa-sham

A top university is to set its own entrance exams because the A-levels are not worth the paper they are written on. And the student drop out and failure rate at the so-called 'universities' is soaring. With A-levels, dumbing down just got dumber.

Is Obama Too Good To Be True?

There's something not quite right about Obama. He's black but also white. A Christian but also Muslim. He's a friend of the poor and friends with the rich. He talks the talk but his words and slogans can mean anything to anybody. Are we being manipulated? Is Obama just too good to be true?

Why Are We Forced To Pay A BBC Tax?

If you run a car you have to buy a licence. If you watch television you have to buy a licence. Only it's not a licence to watch TV, it's a licence to watch the BBC. And it's not a licence, it's a tax.

Brown's 42 Day Trial By Media

The Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) has a chance again today to show that it is New Labour that are the 'rebels' and the highjackers of the Party. But as the 42 day detention row looms, Brown seems to have chosen to talk not to his MPs but through the media. So much for Parliamentary Party democracy.

A Dream Ticket For A General Election?

Two MPs from different political parties have come together in a common cause. Vincent Cable and John McDonnell united by the Heathrow expansion protest and Boris Johnson there - by proxy. Not a New Labour MP in sight.

New Labour Has Created The Monster On Our Streets

Another week of mindless violence and killings on our streets. What is New Labour's response? New hard-hitting posters, another police crack-down on knife crime and police chief, Ian Blair's call for "tough love" from parents to combat knife crime. Blame it on the parents, blame it on anybody and everybody.
