Boris Johnson pens on occasion for the Daily Telegraph; a £250,000pa part-time job the Mayor of London famously described as “chicken feed“. Today he produces a column slating the infamous public sector “non job” industry and and calling for them to be slashed. So far, so sensible. However he’s come […]
Fresh from TheEye twittering congratulations to Lance Corporal Jason Capena being commended for his service when seconded to the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers in Iraq last year, the Daily Express today reports that bureaucrats have banned the Royal Gibraltar Regiment from fighting in Afghanistan amid fears its soldiers would not […]

Well, no-one obliged because the auction closed Friday night with a winning bid of $63,500. Cathy Maples of Huntsville, Ala., […]
