Northern Ireland: Positive And Negative

January 27, 2009 at 9:24 am

TheEye declares himself a friend of Her Majesty’s loyal subjects in Northern Ireland – who have repeatedly expressed via the ballot box that the wish of the majority is to stay within the Union. On this point, there is an excellent article over on ConservativeHome by Tony Sharp arguing against […]

The EU – Can We Leave Yet, Please?

January 27, 2009 at 8:20 am

This story is featured on several blogs, including TheEye’s regular reads of The Lone Voice and Old Holborn. Both give the hat-tip to Raedwald. The EU has decided that we are all criminals now and these “crimes” will put British subjects on an EU subversives list. This EU Council decision […]

All Seeing Eye Curses US Dollar

January 24, 2009 at 6:08 pm

TheEye advised visitors that blogging would be erratic or incoherent this weekend as St. Crispin and myself were going to be sharing a beerage with a wide variety of the denizens of Gibraltar. This has turned out to be accurate. Just after lunchtime was the hour of TheEye’s awakening. Therefore […]

Are You Qualified To Operate That Spoon, Sir?

January 20, 2009 at 3:26 pm

Via The Lone Voice and originally from The Mail we learn that coastguards must now fill out a health and safety questionnaire before going out to save lives. Called a ‘Vehicle Pre-Journey Risk Assessment’, this marvellous way of getting people unnecessarily dead requires a “reason for journey” and an assessment […]

Coronation Of The Jug-Eared Saviour Of Humanity

January 19, 2009 at 4:45 pm

The Miraculous Coming of the Obamessiah is being greeted with damp knickers by the BBC and much of the MSM. If you are a retard, why not get an Osama inauguration tattoo to celebrate? At least because he’s being sworn in with his full name by a nutcase chaplain, leftists […]

Land This One If You Can, Mr Brown

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 […]

This Is Where Your Cash Goes

January 15, 2009 at 10:13 pm

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 […]

Your 100 Year Time Machine

January 13, 2009 at 6:48 pm

Some ideas that were widely held 100 or 200 years ago now seem shocking or barbaric today. Often we congratulate ourselves for thinking that we are so much more enlightened than our parents. But it seems unlikely that we’ve somehow reached the end of this process: I would guess that […]

Save The “Sea Kittens”

January 13, 2009 at 7:10 am

The Animal ‘Rights’ nutcases have been active in Europe for a while but not quite to the fruitcake level seen in the US. The Sinn Fein to their I.R.A. is PETA (People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals). They’ve just launched their most nutty campaign yet: demanding fish be renamed […]

PC Nonsense from Bristol City Council

January 12, 2009 at 1:25 am

It takes a lot to shock TheEye, but occasionally a state of gibbering apoplexy can be induced. The example-du-jour comes courtesy of Bristol County Council via Bristol Dave (a sweary blog so a health warning for tender souls). TheEye can’t better the prose, so is going to reproduce it in […]
