The US Hat-Tips The Maggie/Reagan Special Relationship

May 15, 2009 at 7:39 pm

The U.S. House of Representatives has just passed a resolution “recognizing the 30th anniversary of the election of Margaret Thatcher as the first female Prime Minister of Great Britain.” The resolution, proposed by Congresman Ted Poe of Texas, was passed on 12th May by 339 votes to 64, with all […]

Who Would Dare Do Question Time Again?

May 15, 2009 at 3:30 pm

TheEye teams up with the splendid David Vance for the weekly nightmare that is Question Time. Both of us, if not beforehand but certainly afterwards, have consumed industrial quantities of red wine. The live chat that he hosts and TheEye assists moderating, though, is always a rollercoaster of an evening. […]

Iron Lady Gets Award For Breaking Iron Curtain

May 14, 2009 at 10:48 am

TheEye is unashamedly right-of-centre although co-conspirators on this blog are free to go their own way with posts. So it is with pleasure that we see that Lady Thatcher is to be awarded an honorary doctorate for supporting Poland as it shook off its Communist leaders. Lady Thatcher, 83, will […]

Elliot Morley Is Toast

May 14, 2009 at 9:52 am

Meet the outstandingly corrupt Elliot Morley. You may not have heard of him before today but Inspector Knacker may well be opening a file on him today. The former agriculture minister, continued claiming for the mortgage interest on his constituency home for more than 18 months after the loan had […]

The Final Countdown….

May 6, 2009 at 9:38 am

It’s hardly going to come as a shock for us all when Gordoom tries to hang on to the very last chance possible of his unelected Prime Mentalist day-job. Well there is light at the end of the tunnel….today is exactly one year away from that day. The 6th May […]

Compare And Contrast (An Occasional Series)

May 5, 2009 at 10:26 am

In these confusing and mysterious times, it’s sometimes hard to see which of the two main Parties will form the next government. After all, the Tories are only ahead by about +20 points in the polls, so there’s nothing to worry about, is there Gordoom? And Harriet is your friend […]

Five Tory Bloggers As You’ve Never Seen Them

May 2, 2009 at 12:53 am

TheEye has been tied up in the office, with vistors from abroad and a minor part in a web development project (an elevation of the stetson to the GOT who has done a magnificent job). Hence blogging has been light. When HMS Westminster returns to port this weekend following exercises […]

Adam Boulton Sums It Up

April 23, 2009 at 9:22 pm

The destruction of the economy and Darling/Brown’s scorched earth policy designed entirely to cripple the next two Tory administrations is being done to death on every blog so TheEye will not comment pointlessly. It is being done more eloquently elsewhere. However listen to Adam Boulton live on Sky News. He […]

Este Vidrio No Es Limpio

April 20, 2009 at 6:06 am

TheEye enjoyed this graphic from the undefeatable G.O.T. who entertainingly and hopefully observes that Guido Fawkes is still hot on the trail of more Labour scalps. Tory Bear is also linked to from here but TheEye is a daily click to there anyway. Use the side-bar if you don’t know […]

Snouts In The Trough (1653 Edition)

April 20, 2009 at 1:00 am

It was on this very day in 1653 that a certain O. Cromwell dismissed the Rump Parliament. It can’t be argued that most of the members were crooks and charlatans. Oh, how times don’t change. Read his speech and ask yourself if you wouldn’t want it to be given 356 […]
