In search of the truth 2008-05-06 00:58:05 I feel there is something fishy, something decidedly wrong with the David Aaronovitch piece in the Times this morning. But it is far too early for me to exactly put my finger on his argument that we should not expect politicians to listen to us, but rather to do what is right. There is something [...]

BNP Local Election Gains 2008-05-05 05:23:47 It seems that just posing a question about BNP advances in the local elections is enough to brand someone a racist supporter of a hateful group of violent criminals.

Being Fined by the Michelin Man 2008-05-10 04:04:00 Perhaps Gorgon Ramsey is being a little bit hypocritical when he calls for restaurants to be forced to serve home-grown, locally-sourced produce, and fined if out of season ingredients appear on their menus. After all he has built a reputation running restaurants in the middle of London where there is a distinct scarcity of [...] Read more:Michelin

Corbett's measure only increases th Read more:Targeting

The EU must be made to listen to our concerns 2008-06-08 06:11:50 One thing that the EU has allowed us to do is to vote for any party with impunity because all parties will have to toe the EU line, there is very little to choose between them.
