Although the Spectator has gone downhill of late, it is still worth a read, and TheEye gets a regular copy. Although part of a larger article about Jade Goody, this slightly off topic paragraph stood out. “What the author of Nineteen Eighty-Four could never have predicted is that the citizens […]

Nobody is allowed to criticise TheOne of course, so when his teleprompter failed last week and the supposed Greatest Orator Of Our Time floundered horribly it went largely unreported in the U.S. media. Courtesy of a Daily Telegraph article the video is on YouTube along with 9 other excellent gaffes […]

TheEye doesn’t like to venture South of the River after 9pm in to somebody else’s manor, but the ever excellent Croydonian, who assiduously scans Hansard for hidden gems, hasn’t spotted this one yet so TheEye is going to get in there first. David Amess (Southend West, Conservative) | Hansard source […]

There is a Government makework slushfund blackhole initiative to throw £70 million of our cash at projects to cuddle domestic terrorists resident extremists. It didn’t do any good in Luton, obviously. The Shadow Minister for Communities and Local Government Paul Goodman made a point of order in the House of […]

One of your conivial hosts was intending to destroy the one-eyed Scottish idiot (you’ve got to love Jeremy for that classic) for his performance in a joint session of Congress. However TheEye loved Pete Moore’s effort so much that there was no point in him bothering. All of the following […]

Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, Brown doesn’t walk into the same spin-bar as Osama. Ooops. Todays screenshots don’t exactly give the same impression, do they? UPDATE: It turns out that The Croydonian is having a different yet closely related giggle about how […]

No, not our chance to remove the One Eyed Son Of The Manse. 164 candidates eyeing up 67 seats. Six independents and random politicians representing six different parties. In the last elections, held March 1, 2006, the ruling United Democratic Party (UDP) won 64 of the 67 seats, whereas the […]

What happened to that ‘Flinty Chicago Toughness’? Osama can’t be bothered to meet with the One-Eyed Scottish Idiot and blames it on snow. Apparently the six weeks of partying in the White House and destroying the economy have exhausted the Obamessiah. In January he scoffed at the lightweights in Washington […]
