Liberty…The Ideas That Make Us

  As mentioned before we are often told that there is no such thing as the ‘British Identity’…no such thing formed by 2000 years of history, of culture, of traditions, language, industrial and scientific innovation as well as the new political ideas that spring from all that…such as liberty, freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of association, democracy…never mind the humour and way of looking at the world.

Your Country needs You….Just Which Country Though?

      The BBC is up to its old tricks….’educating’ us on the delights of immigration…but oh so subtly.   Yesterday we had ‘Reimagining the City’… Musician Soweto Kinch offers a different vision of a city he’s loved all his life – Birmingham.   It is in fact a good listen, if you can get over the fact that confusingly he sounds just like Lenny Henry.  However the subtext … Continue reading

Lefty Love-Fest

  Had to turn off the radio yesterday….seconds into ‘Saturday Live’ and being told we were going to be treated to  a Dutch environmentalist who tackles Japanese whalers, a descendant of a former slave owning family, a Romanian gentleman lost in London for 4 days and worst of all…the inheritance tracks of Cdr Chris Hadfield…haven’t we had enough of him?   Is there no ‘Top Gear’ for the radio?   … Continue reading

Doing Harrabin’s Job For Him

    Via ‘Not a Sheep’:   A scientist who is not afraid to speak out against the consensus…the political consensus of the IPCC that is: A submission “The views of an independent physicist” by Professor Pierre DARRIULAT 1 to the Energy and Climate Change Committee’s inquiry about the latest conclusions of the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Review (AR5) Written evidence submitted by Professor Pierre Darriulat (IPC0049) The inquiry recently launched … Continue reading

LABOUR’S LITTLE HELPERS…

The Coalition is far from perfect and I am no fan of either Party but credit where credit is due! However Labour needs us to believe that if there is economic growth, it is the wrong sort of growth. They need us to swallow the “cost of living crisis” now that they cannot sell us PLAN B. But when the Coalition then produces figures that at least indicate that INCOMES … Continue reading
