Labour Matters – the facts don’t

My last blog post regarding Labour Matters’ cavalier attitude towards the facts behind perceived ‘stealth taxes’ by the Tory-controlled Westminster Council drew some spirited comments to the site. Now they’re all gone except for my original comment, the blog owner’s reply in which he called me a ‘clown’ and a further comment I’ve just made [...]

Labour Matters’ latest con trick

Increasing Labour desperation in the slow run up to next year’s General Election has thrown up this pile of steaming bullshit this little gem. Westminster Tories increase price of meals on wheels by 10% OK… Westminster Conservatives’ decision to increase the price of meals-on-wheels by almost 10 per cent (from £2.30p to £2.55p) will cost [...]

GPs to offer interior design advice

Via the ever-vigilant Ambush Predator on Twitter and, in turn, via the studly Manwiddicombe: This The Climate and Health Council, a collaboration of worldwide health organisations including the Royal College of Nursing, the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal Society of Medicine, believes there is a direct link between climate change and better health.

HMS NHS now sinking fast

Sometimes our government can be so predictable. Once again, an official body tasked with monitoring our public services has had its findings rubbished by the government. In the latest case, the part-private, part-NHS funded Dr Foster (who the blistering fuck comes up with such shit names?) has had its latest and very alarming report dismissed [...]

Fun with Tiger Woods

Not content with being the greatest golfer of all time, Tiger Woods has now devised a new sport – Street Pinball. It’s early days yet, and so far old Tige has only mastered rebounding off a fire hydrant and then hitting a tree, but his wife twatting the car with a No 3 iron doesn’t [...]

Heaven and flat-earth

After the hacking of the CRU and the release into the public domain of over 3 000 documents and emails that many believe shed doubt on the integrity of the pro-AGW lobby, the University of East Anglia has conducted an inquiry into the leak. A couple of interesting comments have been made prior to a [...]

From ice cap to black cap?

Via @manwiddecombe on Twitter (and several other people before him), something I find very alarming indeed : At what point do we jail or execute global warming deniers?

Scrap Inheritance Tax

Aside from the main issues – such as the economy, unemployment, the war in Afghanistan and the environment – it looks as if one of the policies that the Tories will be standing on is the raising of the Inheritance Tax threshold from £325 000 to £2 000 000. Labour, on the other hand, are [...]

A kick in the bollocks always offends

Al Jahom’s truly excellent post here started me thinking about gender eekwality and a pet peeve of mine. My guess is that if you’re a man then the picture above might make you wince a little. It might make you clamp your thighs together too. If you’re really sensitive – perhaps you recently had a [...]
