Is The RAF “Fit For Purpose”?

April 25, 2009 at 3:57 am

How as a country did we ever sink so far into this lice-infested hole of ineptitude and military mismanagement? Via the splendid Croydonian and sourced from Hansard we learn that Dr. Liam Fox tabled the following question: Dr. Fox: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many Royal […]

A Sign Of The Times

April 24, 2009 at 1:58 am

TheEye believes that everyone should achieve their own levels in life without discrimination…with no regard to religion, colour or sex (unless she’s hot). Just ability. Unless you are French of course, obviously. So it’s interesting that we read this from RugbyHeaven: “The announcement of the Lions squad to tour South […]

Parish News: Beers In Gibraltar

April 24, 2009 at 12:32 am

St Crispin and TheEye regret that the G.O.T. can’t join us for our Co-Conspirators’ drink this weekend in Gibraltar. A few regular readers and several military types will also be in attendance so a reasonable level of alcohol consumption is likely. Expect blogging to be slurred with only one-finger typing […]

Adam Boulton Sums It Up

April 23, 2009 at 9:22 pm

The destruction of the economy and Darling/Brown’s scorched earth policy designed entirely to cripple the next two Tory administrations is being done to death on every blog so TheEye will not comment pointlessly. It is being done more eloquently elsewhere. However listen to Adam Boulton live on Sky News. He […]

Este Vidrio No Es Limpio

April 20, 2009 at 6:06 am

TheEye enjoyed this graphic from the undefeatable G.O.T. who entertainingly and hopefully observes that Guido Fawkes is still hot on the trail of more Labour scalps. Tory Bear is also linked to from here but TheEye is a daily click to there anyway. Use the side-bar if you don’t know […]

Snouts In The Trough (1653 Edition)

April 20, 2009 at 1:00 am

It was on this very day in 1653 that a certain O. Cromwell dismissed the Rump Parliament. It can’t be argued that most of the members were crooks and charlatans. Oh, how times don’t change. Read his speech and ask yourself if you wouldn’t want it to be given 356 […]

British Serviceman Uses Afghanistan Leave To Run London Marathon

April 19, 2009 at 7:35 pm

This was spotted in the Daily LabourGraph but, this being a blog with a military twist, it deserves another airing. We read: “A British serviceman currently on active service in Afghanistan is to use his five days’ leave in the UK to run the London Marathon. Flt Lt Michael O’Hara […]

The Telly-Tax Collects Another Victim

April 19, 2009 at 4:51 pm

It is things like this which make the blood pressure hit unmeasurable levels and will regrettably require the ingestion of a glass of red wine to compensate. “I’ve just watched my husband driven away in a police car. Not because he is a murderer, or a rapist or even a […]

Clear Your Throats And Shout

April 18, 2009 at 9:00 pm

TheEye is feeling in a particularly subversive mood at the moment obviously. This whole article is reproduced from the Old Holborn site but give it a look and say what you think. (Sweary bits warning for those who still like a non-sweary environment on this side of the hedge) “When […]
