Not a moment too soon it actually looks like the BBC’s cosy world of unaccountability, an appallingly cavalier attitude to income it does not earn but extorts from the general public for whom it has constantly shown nothing but contempt in recent years, and a severe political bias that has penetrated every level of the [...]

A Word About Michael Gove
Posted in balls, conservatives, cuts, education, Labour, michael gove, overspending on 05/07/2010 | 2 Comments »
Education is an area that interests me intensely so it might not be surprising that I’m spending the early evening watching the education funding statement on the parliament channel at this very moment (exciting, eh?). Suffice to say, and in the spirit of his refreshing brevity and precision, Michael Gove is giving one of the [...]
Prescott Swearing Shock
Posted in conservatives, goldsmith, housing, Labour, policy, prescott on 09/06/2010 | Leave a Comment »
Well, no. It wasn’t really much of a shock that John – sorry – “Lord” Prescott felt he was so important that he could swear at fellow interviewee Zac Goldsmith on Radio 4 this morning, and then smear said new Tory MP with impunity. Nor was it much of a shock that the interviewer did [...]
Day 3: WithThe Best Will In The World
Posted in coalition, conservatives, government, liberal democrats on 15/05/2010 | 4 Comments »
Yesterday was too irritating to blog about. Besides, I was busy with real, crust-earning life. But it was an excruciating day politically. The vain Huhne’s inability to be ministerial in any sense of the term, preferring his own agenda regarding what he seems to think is the minor issue of nuclear power over policy, thus [...]
Day 1: The Freedom Bill
Posted in civil liberties, conservatives, policy on 12/05/2010 | 4 Comments »
Philip Johnson has just perfectly framed one of the major priorities for this new Conservative/coalition (CC for short) government. It’s a Great Repeal or, the alternative, which I prefer, Freedom Bill which will, when enacted, move us forward in the titanic task of repairing the damage that thirteen years of Labour has inflicted on Britain’s [...]
He’s Almost Gone…
Posted in conservatives, fallout, gordon brown, hung parliament, liberal democrats on 11/05/2010 | Leave a Comment »
Brown has almost gone and the deal with the Libdems is almost complete, according to Bareknuckle Boulton on Sky. Me, I have grave misgivings about this whole shoddy arrangement. But at least Cameron will be where he should be, in Number 10 – elected – and at least the cuckoo Brown will finally be out. [...]
Will Heaven On Freedland

I never thought I’d say this because I haven’t really ‘got’ Will Heaven so far in my relatively short blogging journey (maybe I’m jealous of his relative youthfulness and palpable cleverness – I certainly apologise if those are the reasons!), but he’s just posted a piece answering that desperate Freedland thing that caused a bit [...]
Brown Implodes Mandelson’s Campaign
Posted in Brown, cameron, campaign, campaigning, conservatives, general election, Labour, lies, mandelson, smears, spin on 05/05/2010 | Leave a Comment »
Been reading a few hand-wringing blogposts around and about reinforcing the idea that after that truly appalling rant at the weird, “Citizen UK” rally, Brown had somehow found his voice at the eleventh hour. Of course, it’s in the nature of the media that these things become self-reinforcing narratives leading, usually at breakneck speed, to [...]
Thirteen Years Was All It Took…

…for New Labour under first Blair, then Brown, to ruin Britain. It’s worth watching this again just to remind yourself why you’re not voting for Labour – and why you shouldn’t risk voting for the Liberal Democrats. The only party that can be trusted to make a start on rescuing the British economy, and securing [...]
The Final Push For Power
Posted in campaigning, conservatives, general election on 04/05/2010 | Leave a Comment »
Outstanding. In every way. Powerful and thought-provoking and, of course, all true – something the Labour/Libdum campaigns can’t boast. I hope this one makes its way onto the telly. The Spectator has blogged on this already, having been ringside at its launch about an hour ago. Peter Hoskin of that esteemed organ writes: It was [...]
