Question Time LiveBlog 16th June 2011

June 16, 2011 at 11:16 am

Question Time comes tonight from Aberdeen, a city noted for sheer dullness, grime, and the unbelievably irritating accent everyone has. The motto on the City coat of arms reads “any spare change for a cup o’ tea big man?“. Even moss dies there by dint of being too interesting for […]

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

June 13, 2011 at 11:06 pm

TheEye has done a few of those charity events where you effectively ‘buy’ your ticket on a walk or expedition with a certain amount of pledged fundraising. In fact a friend is walking the Atlas Mountains later this year on a similar scheme. Mad, mad fool. The downside to not […]

Question Time comes tonight from Norwich. On the panel we have Andrew “Let’s be a proud international aid superpower” Mitchell, ex-local MP who lost his seat in 2010 Charles Clarke, anti-Easter Egg campaigner Jo Swinson, anti-man campaigner Germaine Greer and Peter Hitchens. The LiveBlog will also stay open for the bizarreness of This […]

Killing Polar Bears

June 7, 2011 at 7:34 am

It’s not a promising start in this article for the Vancouver Sun. Could the Net be killing the planet one web search at a time? Great question. Rather like Could Ed Miliband Ever Be Not Crap – the answer is obviously NO but it gives you something to think about whilst […]

Threats

June 7, 2011 at 12:11 am

It’s been one of those days. Oh yes. So watching this again was about the only way to relax. One Hundred top movie insults – just about all of them with a very bad language warning. Not safe for the office, polite company or anywhere near pets 🙂 If that […]

A Seafaring Nation?

June 6, 2011 at 9:37 am

It seems that the country of Nelson and Drake is busy doing what it does best – forgetting our history. From the Coventry Telegraph, and probably elsewhere: A QUARTER of children say Captain Jack Sparrow is Britain’s most famous seaman. That’s according to a new survey which puts our knowledge of […]

Cuts? Really?

June 2, 2011 at 11:02 pm

The public sector is in desperate need of cutting. There are two ways now emerging to approach this – to recognise the reality and begin to roll back the fat in a controlled way; or to adopt the approach of some socialist councils. Take the axe to heart-wringing cases and […]

Question Time comes tonight from Glyndwr University’s William Aston Hall in Wrexham. It is represented at Westminster by Ian Lucas MP (Labour) and was the birthplace of Sir Foster Cunliffe, founder of the Royal Society of British Bowmen. Really. That’s about as interesting as it gets. Oh, and the local […]
