A low key look by the BBC’s Gavin Hewitt at probably one of the most important and interesting questions in politics at the moment: Europe braces for first EU-wide vote since 2008 crash In many countries this will be a referendum on the European project. Many voters will have the chance to support parties disenchanted with Brussels and all its powers. The last few years have seen the … Continue reading
A couple of Tweets from Roger that shed new light on ‘science’ and certainty: So Roger thinks ‘expert groups’ may be lying to us about just how certain they are about their projections…due to the politics…and Roger himself objects to claims of ‘certainty’ or over confidence in ‘the numbers’….though not when economist Stern tells us we are all going to die in 100 months … Continue reading
Here you go, a new Open Thread to see us on through the week of relentless bias!
Sorry about the title but I think I can’t really take much more of his low brow, lightweight, twaddle….considering the job he is supposed to do. Thanks to Dave S who pointed out this from Robinson: UKIP immigration policy – the wife test On a day when Nigel Farage launched a nationwide poster campaign warning that millions of Europeans were waiting to take your job, I asked him why … Continue reading

Here’s a taste of his sarcasm: Sorry for allowing your (English) policies to kill men in … Continue reading
