China Human Rights

2010-11-10T00:02:00.000-08:00

Human rights have improved in China and will continue to do so.

Cameron has gone on a trade mission, so get off his back.

The Audit Commision

2010-08-13T22:55:00.000-07:00

It had become an arm of the Labour government ensuring its wishes were carried out. It had lost its way and moved away from its core duty. This is good news that this left wing organisation is going.

The Coalition

2010-07-01T09:35:00.000-07:00

Now they are going soft on crime.
I will give then no more than 2 years and there will be another election if they carry on like this.

The Coalition

2010-06-19T00:30:00.000-07:00

Well its not what I wanted but I hope they will carry out what they have said.
The free school policy is the most exciting.
The debt reduction the most important.

Labour still do not understand you cannot continue to spend more than you earn.

Brown Should Answer for This.

2010-03-28T15:30:00.001-07:00

A good question that Brown will never answer.

Headline in Todays Telegraph.

2010-03-21T00:56:00.000-07:00

"Election 2010: Tony Blair to play key general election role "

Well Labour just know how to shoot them selves in the foot.

If I were Cameron I would counter by referring to Blairs war, on all he is responsible for.

Here We Go Again

2010-03-20T01:08:00.001-07:00

The Conservative Leadership Needs To Wake UP.

2010-03-08T03:54:00.000-08:00

The Tories under Cameron appear far to much like New labour Mk2. The current old Labour are running rings round them. If you want to win you have to fight. My late father used to say to me if someone is attacking you and you are in real danger if you see a brick pick it up and hit him with it, or anything to hand.

The leadership are like frightened rabbits, but with people like May, Letwin and others is it any wonder. they are uber wets.

Where are the street fighters.

Whos Telling the Truth

2010-02-24T00:44:00.000-08:00

Darling says" Number 10 unleashed the forces of hell on him".

Brown says they did not.

Who do you believe.?

Preparing for Snow

2010-01-08T00:19:00.000-08:00

When I lived in Germany, each local authority had enough grit to last the whole winter.

The grit was used in rotation and replenished during the summer.

Why don't we.?

Britains Gold (That Was)

2009-12-27T23:59:00.000-08:00

If Brown had sold our gold today, it would have given us an extra £10 billion, as he sold it at rock bottom prices.

When he did it, you just know he knew nothing about basic world economics. Its not for selling, its to tell the world that your currency is backed up with this precious commodity, that could ( not would) be sold if times are very difficult.

Just because he has a economics degree does not mean he understands the subject, as we can see he does not.

Top Gear

2009-12-26T01:10:00.000-08:00

I wonder why Top Gear has been voted Britain's most popular TV show.

Is it because its not PC. or its topic is anti flat earth.

Its a great show that is difficult not to watch. Mrs N normally hates this type of show but if she starts watching she just cannot put it down.

Many at the BBC must hate it and wish it was not on.

Long live Top Gear and the freedom it stands for.

Biased BBC

2009-12-21T01:08:00.000-08:00

I would commend everyone to read this http://biased-bbc.blogspot.com/

The way the BBC is just following its own left wing agenda is very disturbing.

We are not getting any balance as you can see over and over again.

The Met Office

2009-12-19T23:46:00.000-08:00

The Met Office said about 3 weeks ago that 2009 will be one of the very warm years or something like that. I thought how can they say that with another month to go, and now look at it.

I really feel the Met Office like the BBC has its own agenda. It has predicted on some very dodgy figures global warming and wants to promote it at every opportunity.

I think from what I can tell we are moving back to cooler weather. How do i know this. by looking out of the window and comparing the actual weather to that I have known all my life.

I personally cannot detect ANY signs of global warming only changing weather patterns.

We started cooling again from 1999. like so much of nature we cannot control it and it sorts itself out.

The picture is from last year. we have over a foot this year.

Copenhagen

2009-12-17T00:38:00.000-08:00

Shambolic and a complete mess.
That's what happens when you try and promote unproven facts.

I see the Met office is accused of picking what weather stations it uses to promote global warming. When asked for the base data the would not give it. It stinks this is not science but propaganda for us to pay more tax. in my opinion.

How does Labour have ANY support

2009-12-06T00:18:00.000-08:00

Things are so bad I just do not understand the level of support Labour still has. They should have cut spending at least 3 years ago, as now we are just drifting down and down.
Some of the press led by the BBC just have not gripped the situation at all. They are playing it all down for Labour. Labour can only spend, never save, earn or cut. If Labour are voted back or a hung Parliament the IMF will be in control the next day.

Is the Tory Party Too Wet ?

2009-12-02T07:06:00.000-08:00

I think it is, it is never going to sort out any of our problems with its Heath like aproach.

English Rugby

2009-11-15T23:56:00.000-08:00

I think Brian Moor expressed most real fans concerns.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/international/england/6575876/Brian-Moore-England-fans-being-exploited.html

In all the games in all the home countries the pa noise and all the music when a try is scored is just taking away the honesty of the game. I would not go to a match with all this add on rubbish.

That drumming at the Ireland match was *********

Move to the Right

2009-11-15T11:46:00.000-08:00

I notice the Nick Griffen of the BNP is going to stand for election in Barking.
Can the Conservative party not see that because they are seen on the left by many people it is allowing the BNP to make ground. The Conservatives must shift to the right before its too late. The more Cameron does rather than say the more he is putting off many in his party.
The open primary for example is a con if all the candidates are put forward by central office. What Cameron is trying to do is what Blair did and that is to have more MPs totally loyal to the leader, so he can just do what he wants. We have had enough of dictators.

Glasgow Election

2009-11-13T23:51:00.000-08:00

The real disaster here was for the Lib/Dems.

They came 6th.

The BNP had 1,013 votes

The Lib/Dems had only 474 votes

This is a major disaster for them.

To have less than half the votes of the BNP just shows how far they have slipped.

Rememberance

2009-11-09T00:21:00.000-08:00

The Prime Minister did not even bow his head in respect. Outrageous

Poster from the 20s.

The Conservative Conference

2009-10-08T22:49:00.000-07:00

What the last 12 years have shown is that big government command economy just does not work.

The tories have laid out what they are going to try and do.

If they achieve half of it, it will be far more than labour have. labour have been a one man band first with Blair and then with Brown and both have failed that is plain for anyone to see.

I see the Tories as more of a team led by Cameron, and that is how government should be.

I can now see how we are going to tackle the problems.

A very good conference for Cameron.

A move in the right direction for the country.

Labours Lost It

2009-09-29T15:52:00.000-07:00

So says The Sun.

It has come out for David Cameron saying that the way he has led his party proves he has the tough attitude to lead the country.

And so say all of us.

Has the Penny Dropped for Labour

2009-09-18T07:09:00.000-07:00

At last I see they are cutting spending. It wont be enough and it must be bad for this move before the election.

Brown must have fully believed he could con the people again.

But you know people will still vote Labour at the next general election.

New Leader Of The Labour Party

2009-09-14T07:32:00.000-07:00

When did Mandelson become leader. ?

I must have missed it.

The New Mayor of Doncaster

2009-08-30T07:18:00.000-07:00

This has been published by the Mayors office. He started in June.

I think we would all like to see this sort of thing. so good luck to him.

Priorities

The Mayor is committed to improving the borough and ensuring residents are offered the best possible services.

Progress / Key decisions since taking office

Appointed a mixed Cabinet of committed Councillors
Cut Mayor's salary from around £73,000 to £30,000 per year
Axed Mayor's chauffeur driven car (approximately £6,000)
Stopped future funding for gay pride event (£3,000)
Stopped council newspaper Doncaster News
Directed that two children's social worker posts be reinstated at Doncaster Royal Infirmary to specifically assist children in hospital and to help detect abuse
Axed membership of Local Government Association and Local Government Information Unit (approximately £80,000)
Where possible, stopped funding for translation services and instead encourage people to learn English
Cut twinning ties with five towns saving approximately £4,000+
Written to the Electoral Commission to cut the number of Councillors from 63 to 21 which could save upwards of £1,000,000

Future priorities

Lower Council Tax by cutting extortionate levels of bureaucracy and other waste
End malpractice and mismanagement in the council
Hold a referendum on the Mayoral governance of Doncaster
Reduce the number of councillors from 63 to 21
Conduct a review of the A638 Quality Bus Corridor and the traffic mayhem around the Dome
Scrap politically correct non-jobs and encourage the former employees to seek meaningful employment
Encourage every school to opt out of local authority control – money should go directly to schools to raise deteriorating educational standards
Ensure police concentrate resources on catching criminals
Introduce zero tolerance of anti-social behaviour and impose penalties for such everyday practices as using foul language in public and spitting in the street
Halt the architectural vandalism of Doncaster and protect the town’s heritage

Norwich North

2009-07-24T06:44:00.000-07:00

Nothing to say, but at last we can now see an end to this Labour government. The results are far worse than Labour excepted.

I think they have got a good MP.

Norwich North

2009-07-20T00:09:00.000-07:00

Have you noticed how the Labour spin ( lie ) machine has the media all saying the
" the Tories are expected to win Norwich North"

Well it is not a forgone conclusion it is just labour preparing the ground to take to spotlight off their loss.

By elections can come up with all sort of results but the key issue is how many votes Labour has, no matter who wins.

Norwich has nothing to thank Labour for.

Every generation has to learn about Labour the hard way.

Labour have Mugged Britain

2009-07-06T07:36:00.000-07:00

When you thing about it I feel that Labour has conned and mugged the British people with the English in particular.

I cannot wait to be rid of them and we start re building our country.

When Will They Tell Us

2009-07-04T23:03:00.000-07:00

When will Labour tell us how they are going to get us out of the mess they have made of things.

All they can do is smear anyone who does not agree.

The BBC just acts as their mouthpiece.

Just what are the Labour plans.

When will we know.

Great Tory Win in Norfolk

2009-06-05T15:37:00.001-07:00

The Conservatives have increased their majority on the County Council.

Labour are now in third place behind the Lib/Dem's.

The people have told Brown what they think of him.

He is seen as the problem not the solution.

Who to Vote For

2009-06-01T11:49:00.000-07:00

If you are in doubt I would recomend Tory.

If you are totaly anti Tory then UKIP.

The results on Friday will be very interesting.

How ever you look at it it will not be good news for Labour.

The Rotten Parliament

2009-05-22T09:32:00.000-07:00

We need a General Election as soon as possible, September or October at the latest.

The new parliament should pick the new Speaker not the current 'Rotten Parliament'

When Parliament has totally failed only the people can decide.

If Brown will not do it the The Queen should step in and make it happen.

Cameron Leads The Way

2009-05-20T23:46:00.000-07:00

Why has Brown so far failed to act on his ministers. Whilst Cameron is getting on with action, Brown again wants more reports and meetings and is doing nothing.

They need to sort out who has done what. Get rid of those who have gone too far the call an election for September.

Labour are just hoping it will all go away.

Labour Has Failed the Country-- 2

2009-05-11T22:56:00.000-07:00

They way the have allowed this expense thing to go on without changing it is proof again.

The role of The Speaker is at the root of this and he must go.

Labour Has Failed The Country

2009-04-24T00:13:00.000-07:00

They could have faced up to the problems in the Budget but they have failed to do so.
They have put party before country.

Every Labour government ends in a mess but not as bad as this.

Public spending should have been cut NOW.

The Real Gordon Brown.

Well we now know what is at the heart of this Labour government.

Brown and Blair before him have set the tone of their government.

We now see the rotten core and this man is a civil servant up to his neck in the Labour party.

Just how much more do we have to take from the vile party.

Double Standards of The BBC

2009-03-29T23:45:00.000-07:00

Do you remember how the BBC attacked the Tories when they were last in power over sleaze. Labour have been far worse yet they are hardly mentioned and never attacked.

The BBC never keeps to its charter and needs to be reformed.

Where is The Man ?

2009-03-26T07:47:00.001-07:00

I asked " Where is The Man ? "who would come forward with an understanding of what Labour has done.

Daniel Hannan knows what they have done.

Is he the man ?

The Bank of England Speaks

2009-03-24T16:16:00.000-07:00

The Bank of England has basically told the Labour government that is is spending to much and we cannot afford it.

So will they stop, No.

They are determined to leave office with the country in ruins.

Why does every generation have to learn about Labour the hard way.

It Grows on Trees.

2009-03-24T00:34:00.000-07:00

The way labour is spending money it does not have you would think it grows on trees.

Just when are they going to wake up and lead the way by stop spending money it does not have.

Mrs Thatcher love her or hate her. she would never have let this happen.

We need people who have their feet on the ground to lead us not those with either their head in the clouds or buried in the sand.

Dumbed Down Newsnight

2009-03-19T00:42:00.000-07:00

The way Lord Turner was asked about his new proposals for the banks was more like a fireside chat.
There was no detailed analysis of his proposals no cross examination from other people, it was just so weak.

It is not the programme it used to be before its Labour friends came to power.

If only it attacked like it used to attack the Tories when they were in power.

Dropping Litter

2009-03-09T03:13:00.000-07:00

I see Bill Bryson want to fine more people for dropping litter.

Having been involved in Shopping Centre Management, It is no use keep blaming and punishing the public.
It just wont work.
Who ever is responsible for clearing litter, they need to be far more pro active than we are in Britain.
If I was running a town or city centre I would have 24 Hour litter picking. it would be non stop.
For the countryside the same, teams of people going round just clearing any litter.
In time as people always find a litter free area the dropping gets less and less.
OK have fines for the most blatant problems but they should be the last resort not the first.
I know I have done and proved it.
If my litter pickers saw someone dropping litter they went up to them and said. " Thanks for dropping that, you are keeping me in a job". They never had to speak to the same person twice.

Where is The Man

2009-02-25T15:31:00.000-08:00

Who will lead us out of this mess.

Not Labour for sure.

We need a Winston Churchill.

Britain has become soft and an easy touch. We need strength not weakness. We need Leadership.

Who will fill that roll. ?

Brown Must Carry The Can

2009-02-25T15:20:00.000-08:00

"Gordon Brown helped fuel Britain’s banking crisis by pressuring the City regulator not to intervene and stop reckless lending," Lord Turner, the head of the Financial Services Authority, said.

So there we have it. Brown instructed the FSA to have a light touch and helped fuel the chain of events that has led to the recession.

He should take responsibility and go, along with his party.

The State of Labour

2009-02-24T07:16:00.000-08:00

Labour has ceased to be civilised, for it has no clear vision of the meaning of this civility.
It is no longer good, for it has lost sight of the common good.
This recession may be global, but it is Labour’s fault that the United Kingdom is the worst place nation in the western world to cope with its effects.
Labour has become the embodiment of that for which it always despised the Conservatives: it is now the undoubted party of unemployment, recession, inflation and increased poverty.
Labour is seduced by celebrity and beguiled by vanity.

How long to the General Election

with thanks to Cranmer

Labour Never Learn

2009-02-17T00:41:00.000-08:00

Labour appear to be unable to do what needs to be done.
They are just spending money, that does not exist any more.

Just when are they going to cut public spending.

I think they will leave it for the Tories to do that for them.

It has been proved yet again Labour can only spend, never earn.

A pity a whole new generation has had to learn the hard way as I did in the 60s & 70s.

BBC Soft on Labour

2009-02-13T23:41:00.000-08:00

Just how can the Labour government get away with all this.
Do you remember how the BBC led the attack on John Majors government.
Where are the BBC now. Labour and the BBC are one, as far as I am concerned .
The BBC hates to criticise Labour, they all have a pained look on their faces when they have to, as you do when you have to tell a friend something they don't want to hear.
Come on media get stuck in we need to be rid of them as soon as possible before its to late

Companies HQs Move Abroad

2009-02-09T03:22:00.000-08:00

Do you remember what Britain used to be open for business ie. pre- labour government.

Well the latest to move is BOOTS yes Boots the chemist, from Nottingham to Switzerland.

More and more companies are moving to obtain a better tax deal. and a company friendly environment. The list is getting longer.

Can you blame them.

Again Labour only knows how to spend never earn.

Duel Standards of The BBC

2009-02-05T23:54:00.000-08:00

Why does Ross who caused such offence ON AIR possibly broke the law have a 3 month ban. Against Thatcher who made an offensive remark to some by using a word IN PRIVATE be sacked.
Its just not consistent

I accept that some words and phrases are now offencive I understand that.
But those same people who are offended should remember that we used these words every day in the past as just part of our normal life. Not as racist comments but just words we had grown up with.
In Thatchers case I would describe her as careless not offensive in this case.
Younger people who have been drilled in the equality topic should remember that older people have not, and we do not have the same horror of such words.
I think we are more tolerant of such things where as today people are so easily offended.

Question Time

2009-02-05T16:02:00.000-08:00

I find it strange that everyone is insulted by Carol Thatcher using the word Golliwog. Yet

A person asking a question in the hall says that the reason foreign workers are used is because they work harder than the British, no one bats an eyelid at this racist remark and he is allowed to say it unchecked.

Sauce for the goose comes to mind.

If you want to see how nasty Labours supporters are just read this new blog by Prescott.

They just have no idea about real life, or concern for 'ordinary' people.

They are spiteful to anyone who does not support Labour.

Paying Off Our Debts until 2030

2009-01-28T09:52:00.000-08:00

The IMF has forecast that Britain will suffer more than other country.

Brown has the cheek to go around crowing on how good he is.

He is no friend of Britain.

The Independent Bank of England !!!!!

2009-01-26T04:03:00.000-08:00

The reason Brown gave for making the BOE so called independent was so it could work independently of government.

What he actually wanted was that labour could work independently of the BOE. as this is what has happened.

He did not want the BOE looking over his shoulder he wanted to distance himself from it.

He then made sure that his place men would be in the majority on the monetary committee, so he could pull any strings from a distance.

If you think this is not true then just look at the facts of what has happened.

He has been a law unto himself as I am sure Blair kept away from him.

He must carry the can for Britain being less prepared than any country for the current recession.

What Crazy Ideas For labours New Year

2009-01-02T06:35:00.000-08:00

They are at it again.

They are now starting the persecution of fat people.

Why do they not stop spending on all their silly ideas. Cut taxes for the people and concentrate on trying to sort out the financial mess they have made.

Fredom of Information- The labour Con.

2008-12-07T07:15:00.000-08:00

Even though Labour enacted ‘The Freedom of Information’ bill, it has just been another Labour con.
This Labour government manipulates information and is more secretive then any previous government we have had since the war.

Never believe what Labour say, only what they do, as they are never the same.

The Labour Police State

2008-11-28T15:15:00.001-08:00

I have been warning of this for some years.

It has now arrived. What will be next.

They are trying to intimidate the population to keep quiet about what the government gets up to.

Its a bleak day for freedom.

Labour is taking away bit by bit everything that is good about Britain.

"Britain never never never will be slaves"

George Osbourne Speaks Out

2008-11-15T23:54:00.000-08:00

At last George Osbourne has told it as it is.

The Tory party need to start fighting hard against Labour.

Also the BBC as it supports Labour all the time.

The time has come for the Tories to take the gloves off and fight for our country.

They will be amazed how much support there is for them.

Fakenham Market

2008-11-10T04:27:00.000-08:00

Went shopping with Mrs N to Fakenham market.

Highly recommended if you can find all the stalls.

James Becks auction rooms as well.

Every Thursday. Visit if you can. real products from real people.

Try the cheese from Mr Christie.

Glenrothes

2008-11-09T08:20:00.000-08:00

Labour some how held onto Glenrothes.
I would think it is probably due to peoples concern about the SNP rather than pleased with Labour as Labours vote was halved.

They will have no chance in England come the general election.

Ross,Brand and the BBC.

2008-10-28T00:36:00.000-07:00

This latest episode tells you all you need to know about the BBC.
Ross and Brand are out of control just like the BBC.

To think we are paying for people like this is just sickening to me.

They have at the very least committed an act of gross misconduct. In any other business they would have been sacked.

My Father Was Right About Labour

2008-10-24T07:45:00.000-07:00

When I was about 16, I remember I had obtained a little red book called 'The Thoughts of Chairman Mao.
'When my father saw me reading it and saying how I thought the left were for the ordinary people and all that.
He picked himself off the floor wiped the foam from round his mouth and said.
"Son I have never tried to stop your free thinking in any way. I have tried to leave you to develop your own thoughts, but if you remember only one thing. Labour will always leave office with the country in debt and in a worse state than when they came to power. No matter what they promise if you vote Labour you will live to regret it in the end"

This just was not him, so you never forget something like that.
I went on to vote Labour many years ago and did totally regret it as he had said.
Since then I have voted with my head.
Labour just do not understand about wealth.
They can only spend, never earn and it has been proved yet again.
Its fine having all these worthy ideas but if you do not create the wealth to pay for it you end up with nothing.

Its called the real world.

Here We GO Again

2008-10-24T07:27:00.000-07:00

When Labour were last in power and had spent all our wealth, they had to go to the IMF for a a loan to bail us out.

The loan was made available to us provided we increased government spending !!!!!

Of course not.

The then Labour government led by uncle Jim had to CUT spending to obtain the bail out loan.
They then did so, and in came the winter of discontent and then in came Mrs T who then sorted things out.

Its all happening again only much worse this time. we do not have Uncle Jim but Blunder Brown.

We Do Not Have a Government !

2008-10-21T07:03:00.000-07:00

You see Labour are not prepared to govern.
They just want to continue to spend and they know they will loose the next election.
The Tories come in and start to govern the country and that means more Thatcher type pain to get us out of this mess.
Labour then of course will try to pass the buck and blame the Tories as they have always done.

It is just a repeat of last time only worse.

The worst thing that has happened to Britain since the war is GORDON BROWN both as chancellor and PM.

Labour can only spend not govern.

Deeper and Deeper into Debt

2008-10-20T14:46:00.000-07:00

Labour are doing again what they did last time they were in power.
Borrowing more and more, leaving the problem for the future.

You have lost your job you are behind with the mortgage. What do you do borrow even more or cut back, find another job and pay back your debts.

Labour just keep on spending. it will only get worse the longer they continue.

The Tory party will sort it out yet again as Labour just do not have the bottle to do the right thing.

The BBCs support for Obama

2008-10-19T14:53:00.000-07:00

Its headlines on the BBC news tonight that Colin Powell is supporting Obama.
Why is this the headline ?.
I just cannot understand how the BBC gets away with this blatant support for the American left.

There was no balance at all just one sided again.

I had to turn it off.

A Sub Prime Minister

2008-10-19T09:33:00.000-07:00

What an excellent description from Alex Salmond about Brown.

Brown is leading us further and further into disaster.

Who will stop Labour before its to late.

Will The Next President Be Obama ?

2008-10-19T07:26:00.000-07:00

The problem we have it that most of the media led by the BBC are all for Obama.
They were for Gore when Bush won . So you do not know the reality of the outcome.
People who support Obama like Labour supporters tend to be very vocal, and believe their own propaganda ( spin, lies).
They are from people who do not earn a living in the real sense of the word ie employed by the government.
I would not like to call it as people who vote Republican like people who vote Tory just do not make the same noise ( they don't have time as they are doing real work.)

The result will be close and may surprise the BBC.

Spend.Spend.Spend.

2008-10-19T00:20:00.000-07:00

I see Darling and Brown are going to spend us out of recession.
That's all very well if you have money on one side or have things to sell like gold.
But we don't.
Labour have spent it all. So it will make matters worse in the long term.
Labour live for today and could not care less about the future.
They will try anything to cling to power.
They have always put their party above country. For so called educated men they come over as just thick to me.
They just do not understand the basics.

Markets Respond to Browns Plan

2008-10-15T23:59:00.000-07:00

I see the markets are in free fall again.
That is the reality of Browns plan.

He is the cause not the solution.

Browns Folly

2008-10-14T23:22:00.000-07:00

If you think Browns solution is for the long term, forget it.
It is just trying to hold the wall up.
The British people are going to pay for Labours incompetence with the economy.
The greatest regret is that the weakest in our country will suffer the most.
What is the point of a minimum wage when prices are so high it buys nothing.

How many times do Labour have to be in government to prove they cannot run the country.

The Big Con

2008-10-14T15:32:00.000-07:00

You would think that the way Brown is going around he has saved the world.
I just find the whole thing sickening.
He has been the cause of the problem in Britain.
He should have had the correct regulation.
He has allowed the banks to get away with it.
Its like blaming the prisoner's for escaping because the cells were not locked.

The BBC is now the propaganda arm of the labour party in the way it is just brushing it under the carpet and leading the praise for him.

Under The Labour Cosh

2008-10-13T06:49:00.000-07:00

Well they have done it. They have just about turned us into a communist country. They are taking over more and more. All that money into Scottish banks. The Brits will never forgive him. He will be totally defeated at the next election. The Tories would never have been as bad as this.

The Next Government

2008-10-01T23:27:00.000-07:00

I know there is a long way to go but it must be certain that Cameron will win the next election.

We still have no idea what Browns plan is for our economy, only that he will do everything it takes.

Sounds like fire fighting to me.

I.D. Cards

2008-09-27T16:22:00.000-07:00

We do not want them
We cannot afford them
They will not make us safer.
Providing cards for foreigners arriving in the UK is absurd. They need to have passports to come. We can record what details we need on their arrival. Why do we need to trailblaze ID cards through our visitors?

with thanks to John Redwood

Brown in USA

2008-09-27T16:12:00.000-07:00

Can you believe the nerve of Brown telling America just what went wrong and how it now should be as if it was nothing to do with him.

He has some neck.

Alan Sugar

2008-09-21T15:13:00.000-07:00

I see he has opened the Labour conference. I am surprised he has.
As a businessman he should know it is far better to remain outwardly neutral to party politics.

He has fallen for flattery by Brown.

He has gone down in my estimation.

Biased BBC

2008-09-21T00:39:00.000-07:00

Have you noticed that when the Republicans are ahead in the polls the BBC coverage is less. When the Democrats are ahead the coverage is more.

We should not be able to tell that the BBC has a political agenda but it does.

He Just Never Learns

2008-09-21T00:31:00.000-07:00

I see Brown is promising free nursery places to 2 year olds.

How is he going to pay for it when the country is broke.

I hope he will go after this week.

We cannot take any more from new Labour, its going to take many years to repair the damage
