True Facts…Who Wants That?

  The Left have been creating a whole new narrative about ‘truth’ suddenly becoming a rare commodity…the results of the US election and Brexit both being the fault of foolish and ill-informed voters who made their decisions based upon lies fed to them by Trump and Boris….therefore both results are illegitimate. Odd then that when Boris tells the plain truth the Left jump on him, even odder because he speaks … Continue reading

Brexit for BBC journalists…simple and clear

  Evan Davis agrees with Oliver Letwin….the government does have a Brexit plan and it’s very clear and simple…     In which case why do BBC presenters and journalists keep insisting in mocking tones that the government has no plan?  The same line that Labour peddles of course. The plan is simple….to carry out the instruction of the British People and leave the EU…the first issue is to stop … Continue reading

Brexit means Brexit….and it’s the Peoples’ decision

  “The British people will have the final and decisive say. “ The Minister for Europe, David Lidington, and Minister for Constitutional Reform, John Penrose December 2015   In the referendum debate in June 2015 Phillip Hammond said this… Few subjects ignite as much passion in the House or indeed in the country as our membership of the European Union. The debate in the run-up to the referendum will be … Continue reading

Glasshouses

  You may have heard the BBC’s expressions of horror about the Mail having the temerity to outline the Supreme Court Judges’ history on the EU…something you might think relevant and of interest to anyone who is following the case.  The BBC thinks this undermines the Judges’ independence and threatens democracy and the rule of law. Never mind that just about every other paper and publication has done similar examinations … Continue reading

PMQs

David Lidington, May’s stand-in at PMQs, put on quite a performance, less Flashman than Cameron but mastered the job just as well and far more fluent and quietly aggressive than May….he pretty much crushed Labour’s  Emily Thornberry though you’d never know that from the BBC’s post-mortem which gave the win to Thornberry. Thornberry certainly was technically proficient, she’d done her homework digging up quotes about Brexit that Lidington himself had … Continue reading

Shock and ‘awfulness’

  A quick one as time limited….this morning we heard on Nicky Campbell that Leave voters, and Trump voters, and no doubt Italian voters as well, were ‘clinging on to political solutions that  have nothing to do with their problems…and it could all lead to the 1930’s again’.  Yep…they’re all stupid, ignorant racists harping  back to some golden age that is not only unachievable but leading us back to the … Continue reading

Vague Hague

“This is a burning building you are never meant to leave. What is more, you are barricaded in.”  William Hague December 2016   Trust…always been a bit of a problem with politicians…and journalists…nothing new about the ‘post-fact’ age except the fancy new name….’post-fact’ being a lie in itself ironically. Wiliam Hague…a man who made a career out of Euroscepticism, who then jumped ship and announced he was voting to Remain … Continue reading

Trumpalism

  Hah…even the lefty Gene at Harry’s Place is cheerleading Trump as he tackles corporate greed…. “I don’t want them moving out of the country without consequences,” Mr. Trump said, even if that means angering the free-market-oriented Republicans he beat in the primaries but will have to work with on Capitol Hill. “The free market has been sorting it out and America’s been losing,” Mr. Pence added, as Mr. Trump … Continue reading
