Shoot Us All Now: The Chocolate Edition

January 11, 2009 at 11:40 pm

Cadbury, Britain’s most famous chocolate maker, has decided to warn chocolate lovers that its product contains: milk. The latest Dairy Milk wrappers feature a logo showing a glass and a half of milk being poured into a chocolate chunk, put milk first in a list of ingredients and explains that […]

TheEye isn’t really given to posts like this, but St Crispin regularly breaks bread and sups ale with the London Assembly Member for Bexley and Bromley, and TheEye is a big fan. It therefore seems churlish not to break with tradition and say something nice about someone on here for […]

Tractor Stats: And You Think Brown Is Bad?

January 7, 2009 at 1:07 pm

As the economy descends ever further down the toilet, one has to marvel at the brazen contempt The One Eyed Son Of The Manse has for reality. At PMQ’s and endless speeches, in a nostalgic throwback to the Soviet era we are always reminded that tractor production is up for […]

Sir Alan Walters RIP

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 […]

BlogRoll Suggestion: Tractor Stats

TheEye likes the cut of “Tractor Stats” gib. An image-oriented blog, there are some fine images – mostly political – to be enjoyed. Not personally being adept at picture manipulation, kudos is given to those who are. This artfully done picture (under the title “To brownly go where no minister […]

The Queen’s Speech

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 […]

Advertising Pays

December 28, 2008 at 3:34 am

There’s a great article in the Independent on Sunday (and it’s not often you get to say that) about how a 2009 general election might be fought with the campaigning advertising that will be appearing on poster sites all over the country. The paper asked half a dozen top advertising […]
