Lubna Hussein may be the first trouser martyr. She is getting lots of publicity from the BBC for her noble fight in trying to get the law in Northern Sudan changed to allow women to wear trousers lest they fall foul of Sharia and get 40 lashes for wearing such garments. Fair enough, I suppose, although I was intrigued by Ms Hussein’s suggestion that “I want to change this law, … Continue reading
After the non-State subsidised Banks dared to release decent financial profits yesterday, look out here comes Northern Rock and a 3/4’s of a BILLION loss. What a shrewd investment by Mr Brown to bail them out with our cash. The ghost of the oddly spoken Peston was on followed by Universal Vince who offered his opinion and we can only hope that universal McFall will also be given media time … Continue reading
It really IS torture! I refer to listening to the State Broadcaster continually providing a bully pulpit for those who would seek to blacken the reputation of our security forces and give succour to Islamic terrorists everywhere. On Today at 7.16am, Clive Baldwin of Human Rights Watch was given a free warm up canter to accuse the UK of being complicit in the torture of Islamic terror suspects. No opposing … Continue reading
Talk about men at work! I listened to this BBC report this morning concerning the police success in foiling an alleged terrorist attack in Australia. There is a four minute discussion about the aborted terror attack but one pesky aspect of it seems missing. Can you guess what it might be? Let’s see. It concerns four “Australian nationals of Somali and Lebanese descent“. OK. What else? Seems they were planning … Continue reading
From first thing this morning until last thing this evening, the BBC has been running the story of how the international community, led by Obama’s regime, has damned Israel for daring to evict “nine Palestinian families living in two houses in occupied East Jerusalem”. The BBC breathlessly informs us that “Israel occupied East Jerusalem in 1967 and later annexed it, a move not recognised by the world community. The removal … Continue reading
Anyone catch the BBC report on Brown’s new citizenship points plan? Have a read of this, it is quite a lengthy report. All good? No. For example, the BBC is mute on the fact that immigrants are to be given tips on how to access benefits and other public services – and learning how to claim will even help them earn British citizenship! “Mentors will be provided to coach those … Continue reading
The BBC are horrified that Barclays and HSBC have turned in some reasonably decent financials. Robert Peston has returned to haunt our screens again with his unique “insights” on the subject. It’s interesting to note that those Banks which refused State bail-outs are performing well, whereas those which took the Brown danegeld are forecast to announce even more losses. Maybe the lesson we could draw from all of this is … Continue reading

When someone is passionately arguing the case against Israel they often produce someone Jewish who agrees with them as a sort of trump card.Well, in my pack Jews aren’t necessarily trumps, but they can be jokers. Robin Shepherd notes that in Britain these days no foreign country is treated with more disdain than Israel: “.. not just by the usual suspects on the fringes but by pillars of our country’s … Continue reading
I picked this up from my good friend the All Seeing Eye and thought it merited some focus here. It relates to the arrest of a farmer for having the temerity to carry farm tools in his car. Now the farmer being persecuted by the police is a certain Mr Tony Martin – a man whom the BBC carefully labels “a vigilante.” I wonder could he sue them for defamation … Continue reading
