Seen over at the Lakelander and thoroughly enjoyed…. He goes into entertaining detail about how the coat of arms was put together…and then redesigned as commenters weighed in with other ideas. Have a read….

Okay, what on Earth is going on here? It’s a plant grower which holds something called Chia. Appropriately enough for Obama it’s got a drip tray, but they seem to cut off his biggest fan-base by not selling to Mexico. No problem really…ship it to Arizona and the illegals can […]

Well that’s an unexpected turn-up for the books: it’s now legally okay to destroy the property of those  who do business with Jews. Last time that was really popular was Kristallnacht in 1938 but hey, ho, that probably makes it retro fashion, eh? This extraordinary moment in modern British legal […]
