Regular readers of the blogs featured on All Seeing Eye’s blogroll will be familiar with the witty and sharp musings of WomanOnARaft. A regular in Post Comments just about everywhere, and a frequent denizen of the Question Time LiveBlog it was only a matter of time before she started a […]

On Wednesday, General David Petraeus appeared before Congress to brief them on the situation Afghanistan, which has just passed Vietnam to become the longest war in US history. Two more American soldiers lost their lives in Afghanistan today, which makes 33 killed in June so far. So, what was Congresswoman […]

The TaxPayers’ Alliance have released a new video today…okay a bit contrived but making a very valid point…in which they try (and fail) to pay the European Commission a cheque covering Britain’s daily EU membership fee. Somebody needs to tell “George Osborne” and “Danny Alexander” that the botox treatment didn’t […]

In the comments on the previous post, that excellent chap ‘banned‘ observed:I share the view that Obama looked at this as a gift following the likely defeat of his  cap & trade nonsense; he has deliberately allowed the crisis to worsen to boost his Green Economy agenda. Thus far he […]

One of the most stupid, short-sighted and unpopular pledges by the incoming Conservatives was the pledge to ring-fence the Overseas Aid budget. It was an idea so mind-bogglingly retarded that even the handwringing bearded weirdie LibDems didn’t suggest it; which is saying something. On the list of the poor and […]

Let’s start with a ridiculous theory and then play Spot The Motive to see why the Great Unwashed have suddenly picked up on it. Firstly, a daft idea to cure the earth of the imaginary global warming crisis: whale droppings Southern Ocean sperm whales are an unexpected ally in the fight […]
