Picture and text borrowed from Curly’s Corner Shop due to its excellence. It appears to be his original work and his site, although occasionally parochial to South Shields, is well worth checking out. Unfortunately 155 politicians survived The captain said that the failure of the Economy and it’s subsequent crash […]

TheEye is delighted to note the birthday of David Vance today. A Tangled Web as usual has a post on his site which couldn’t be improved by redrafting so it will be reproduced as it stands: Interesting to read that an English council is planning to spend up to £500,000 […]

British WWI veteran dies aged 108 I was sad (but not supprised) to see that one of the last surviving WW1 veterans had died. Bill Stone served his country in 2 world wars. Thank you Bill. There is a lot of commentary about saying that the youth of today would […]

It was rather ironic that TheEye said a few posts below that mainstream news stories are not the aim of this blog. This story falls strangely between the two stools. It’s going to become very mainstream but isn’t yet. Iain Dale, a man with some of the best political contacts […]

TheEye stands with our overseas friends. However a fisking is needed of this strange message from our Prime Mentalist. Courtesy of the undeniably excellent Falkland News (confess now, you read it every day don’t you) we find that the One Eyed Son Of The Manse has issued a New Year […]

So our Prime Mentalist intends to address his grateful nation on New Year’s Day. If TheEye had hair it would be washing it. Or something. Eyebrows maybe. We are to be told by the One Eyed Son Of The Manse that his recession will test “the character” of the British […]

A very entertaining part of TheEye’s day is casting its gaze over The Croydonian’s site. The regular updates on DPRK-Watch are always good value for money. As such stories are covered excellently there, the glance is therefore diverted southward to a less entertaining story but still one which ends in […]

Anonymous? TheEye is and needs to remain so. TheEye is known to those to whom it wishes to be known and is unknown to others. Keeping one’s job requires political neutrality and a politically slanted blog would therefore be awkward to say the least. TheEye’s gaze, however, moves across a […]

It comes as a blow when towering politicians and journalists of our time pass on, and TheEye was saddened to see that Conor Cruise O’Brien is no longer with us. Although 91 is a fine innings for anybody, The Cruiser managed to cram in more in that time than most […]
