Tim Montgomerie on ConservativeHome ran an interesting article called “Am I racist because I don’t support Obama?“. In the lists of Questions To Which The Answer is No, this would definitely feature. However it’s interesting that he asked it. The comments, as usual on CHome run the whole range of […]

There appears to be a bit of cyber-bitching between Prescott and Iain Dale. To sum it up, the whole of Armenia has belatedly signed up to an international consensus that John Prescott is a oafish over-promoted childish ex-barman and all round waste of skin and oxygen. Welcome to the club, […]

It was said to be a privatisation too far…the one Baroness Thatcher backed away from, and the one which couldn’t be done. Why? For several reasons. The postal unions were and they remain very strong, and a great deal of political capital would need to be invested in a struggle […]

Gripped as we are in the vice-like pincers of a Government in its death-throes…wildly and madly thrashing around for an unnecessary cause to champion or a long-held freedom to pointlessly legislate on, another target springs to our every vigilant attention: “An unidentified spectator, caught in the uncomfortable perils of global warming […]

We’re all waiting for the public announcement by the BBC saying that they want to clarify their editorial perspective and that they’re biased to the left. Wouldn’t that be freeing for everyone? Stop pretending to be objective and just clearly state a bias. It’s not like they’re even attempting to fully and objectively […]

Late Friday, the Obama administration quietly announced that they would be meeting with Iran with no pre-conditions, just as Obama promised during the first part of his never-ending campaign. Unfortunately for Obama, it seems that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad understands how to move from “campaigning” to “governance” much better: Iran snubs Barack […]

Returning to the military roots of this blog is always a pleasure, and especially when Portsmouth Dockyard is very familiar to TheEye and to St Crispin http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1213128/Revealed-The-awesome-aircraft-carrier-Britains-powerful-warship-actually-built.html An impression of how a controversial future giant aircraft carrier would look in its home base has been unveiled today by the Royal […]

From the Daily Mail: Judge Anthony Goldstaub QC sentenced Stuart Wood for seven years for the attack, then told him: ‘You have turned to Islam and this promises well for your future, particularly as you are now an adherent of a religion which respects women and self-discipline.’ Obviously the religion […]

Do you remember McDoom promising a million new Green jobs? Or was it a billion? One forgets when the bullshit filter engages automatically. Anyway, the reality, as usual, turned out to be about 4 Regional Window-Box Equality Co-ordinators in Lambeth. The Germans, ever efficient though, have actually got a thriving line in […]

Now this has to be possibly one of the most inventive and outrageously tasteless events of all time. You can recreate the voyage of the RMS Titanic (iceberg not included). Bookings are available for 1,309 passengers – the same number that sailed on Titanic’s maiden voyage – and Balmoral will follow the […]
