The Conservatives tried a couple of Open Primaries to select candidates at the last election and were landed with the ban-it-all barking nutter Sarah Wollaston as an MP for the trouble. UKIP are trying something along the same lines for their choice of candidate for the Mayor of London. We have […]
TheEye has not been able to watch the new on the BBC today. It has been too painful. Actually Sky has been just as bad…for we have yet another report out claiming that women are horribly done by in the world of work. Denizens of Liverpool can stop reading at […]

On 23rd August, 1954, the Lockheed Hercules four-engined turbo prop transport aircraft took to the skies for the very first time. Everyone’s lives have been touched by the Hercules over the […]
