TheEye doesn’t like Noel Edmonds. He’s possibly one of the poorest “entertainers” on British television at the moment. However in the past he has used his fame to do some good things for those who need them. This particular one, however, stands out, and TheEye is very grateful. From an […]

On June 6, 1944, D-Day, the day of Operation Overlord, the U.S. First Army, under General Omar N. Bradley, and the British Second Army, under General Miles C. Dempsey, established beachheads in Normandy. A force of about 152,000 Allied soldiers from the United States, Britain, and Canada were supported by […]

Coming into law on the 16th of February, the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 makes it an offence to take a photograph of a policeman. Or of St Crispin. Yes, any member of the Police Force or the Armed Forces won’t be able to have their photograph taken at a family birthday […]

TheEye refused to blog on the love-fest that the MSM and especially the BBC had with the anointing of the Obamessiah. It’s still possible not to break that pledge by just reporting that the inauguration of The One was watched by 37.8 million Americans. The Reagan inauguration in 1981 was […]

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 […]

TheEye sees everything and does not choose to pay the Television Tax – as it is obviously not necessary for a non-corporeal being to part with cash to observe events. However the Daily LabourGraph informs us that BBC sacks contractor over licence fee warning letters containing false statistics “The corporation […]
