Keep Fox Hunting BANNED

Many MPs in the Tory party are planning to overturn the ban on Fox Hunting should they win the next election. David Cameron has promised a free vote, but if he gets a majority, his new MPs will be expected to change the law. This will be a backwards step into barbarism and will basically... »

BNP Question Time on the BBC

Kick this man out of the country - we dont want his kind If Question Time tomorrow night on BBC One is a ratings success, will the BBC claim it as a victory for democracy and their sound editorial judgement? Or will they be honest and admit that pandering to the public’s voyeuristic television... »

Could we see Blair versus Cameron once again?

Will Blair take on EU Role? Interesting titbit in the times entitled “Blair set to become Europe’s first president.“ Now I know this is the Thunderer speculating wildly, and even they have to concede that Blair may not even want the job as it will affect his other commitments to his Foundation and his Middle Eastern... »

By Joss

I am a great believer that parties with abhorrent views, especially those who lie about their views, should be ignored. Since we do not ban them (unless they are proven to have violent policies), we should at least use our powers of choice to not give them the air they need to breath to... »

Far Right Criminal BNP win Seats

This is a short post as there is not much to say. Watching the broadcast of the smug, arrogant, racist neo-nazi, Nick Griffin having won two seats in the EU parliament made me feel almost sick. The man, his party and everything he stands for is Vile. He is a traitor to his own country and to... »

Is there anything left for Brown?

As the departing rear end of Hazel Blears disappears to one of her houses, as other ministers totter on the brink and as dear Nick Robinson predicts a leadership contest, One has to wonder if there is anything left for our tired and beleaguered Prime Minister. From day one of his premiership he has... »

Electoral Reform NOW

Monday, May 25, 2009
By Joss

The recent scandal of expenses has convinced me that the job of MP is too divorced from the people it is meant to represent. This is not a recent change but very much reflects how MPs were first envisaged centuries ago before they were properly elected. I am concerned with calls for a general election... »
