Law And Disorder

August 19, 2009 at 9:00 pm

All is not well across at Chateau Big Dollop. Concern is being aired about the proposals to allow the police to issue on-the-spot fines complete with penalty points. The idea has temporarily been beaten back by that small part of the judicial system which hasn’t fallen to the forces of […]

MP’s Salary

August 19, 2009 at 3:35 pm

The Evening Standard has an editorial today which proposes a massive increase in MPs’ pay. This follows the suggestion by Sir Patrick Cormack that MPs’ pay should be doubled from the present £65,000, but at the same time they should lose their expenses. The editorial is basically arguing that the […]

Cabinet Of The Living Dead

August 19, 2009 at 1:55 pm

Next year sees the General Election, and a rout of ZaNuLabour MPs. Released on to the streets with nobody to tax, there is a very real threat that the ex-Treasury ministers might take their quest for a pound of your flesh too literally. Yes, hundreds of backbench zombies will be […]

Absolut-Eye : The Blog!

August 19, 2009 at 1:10 pm

That’s it. Enough! The world is run by Captain Stupid as is often shown by posts on this blog and so TheEye is going to get in on the act for a few hours. The site is being rebranded for the day. Consider the sheer daftness of a Swedish vodka […]

“Skank” vs Internet Anonymity

August 19, 2009 at 8:37 am

Is this woman a “skank” and an “old hag”?TheEye doesn’t know although is always suspicious of women who wear too much eye shadow. Anyway, an anonymous blogger seems to think so. On his/her site we learn: “I would have to say the first-place award for ‘Skankiest in NYC’ would have […]

Non Posso Parlare L’Italiano

August 18, 2009 at 11:14 pm

Remembering by how badly the news went down that Hazel Blears had been given Spanish lessons at the taxpayers’ expense, Kevin Brennan, the Innovation and Skills minister, refused on 17th June to name the minister whose attempts to learn Italian have so far cost the taxpayer £1,343 . “Identifying ministers […]

Charisma Is No Substitute

August 18, 2009 at 6:47 pm

Despite the victory of Barack Hussein Obama last November, and the Democrats’ taking control of Congress, America still regards itself as a conservative country. A survey has found that in all of the fifty states, conservatives outnumber liberals (using of course the US sense of conservative/liberal). It’s very possible that […]

Taxed Until The Pips Squeak

August 18, 2009 at 4:23 pm

Not content with taxing just about everything in sight to pay for a decade of competence, the scorched earth policy continues with Labour’s attempt at a world record – the first government to tax absolutely everything. As set out in the June’s Digital Britain report, we are still on course […]

Compensation Culture Pt.2

August 17, 2009 at 7:27 pm

The more sympathetic amongst our readers may wonder why an illegal immigrant suing the taxpayer and a grandmother suing Tesco are lumped together in a two-part rant about the compensation culture. The answer is simple…they are both taking the piss and should both receive nothing more than the proverbial good […]

Compensation Culture Pt.1

August 17, 2009 at 6:57 pm

In this post and the next one we have two claims for compensation, both of which make TheEye furious. Although they are for vastly different scenarios and vastly different amounts of money they make the hackles rise for exactly the same reason….they are taking the piss. The first random scumbag […]
