    David Cameron Verified account ‏@David_Cameron Jo Cox’s strong voice in the campaign to remain in the EU will be badly missed. Her final article, published today: https://www.facebook.com/StrongerInCampaign/posts/1196877127019276 …   David Cameron has hijacked the murder of Jo Cox to buttress his campaign for the EU and talks of her as if she represented the very same values that he does. She does not. You have to ask if Cameron … Continue reading →

    Birth of superstate: Frederick Forsyth on how UNELECTED Brussels bureaucrats SEIZED power Our democracy was not presented last week on a plate. It took centuries of struggle to create and from 1940 to 1945 terrible sacrifices to defend and preserve. It was bequeathed to us by giants, it has been signed away by midgets. Now we have a chance, one last, foolishly offered chance to tell those fat … Continue reading →

Here we go, a brand new Open Thread to see us all off into the wild blue yonder of the weekend. This is where you can detail the bias! Here’s an invite.

The rhetoric of western racism and Islamophobia is the mirror of the ideology with which Isis and al-Qaida secure … Continue reading →

“No. No. No”   Thatcher signed up to the Single Market but her speech in Bruges in 1988 sets out her stall…a stall that sounds remarkably like the Brexit one……a reformed, decentralised EU of independent sovereign states celebrating their Christian heritage… My first guiding principle is this: willing and active cooperation between independent sovereign states is the best way to build a successful European Community. To try to suppress nationhood … Continue reading →

  Why does the BBC keep pushing the lies?  This might give us a clue as to the thinking behind it… People in MI5 tell me that denying the connection between Islamism and terrorism derives from the belief that if you accept it, there’s no hope for a multicultural society in Britain: we would just have to recognise that part of the population is permanently liable to become terrorists. The … Continue reading →

This is quite interesting. Here is a tweet that is quite clearly taking a side in the EU referendum. The Remain side, of course. Many brilliant lines in this Washington Post piece on the ‘insanity’ of voting Leave https://t.co/kgDrGJKxPD#Brexitpic.twitter.com/ihxAUU92bU — Dan Worth (@danworthV3) June 15, 2016 And look who has retweeted it….
