I was reading that Labour babe Margaret Beckett has thrown her hat into the ring as the race to replace Mick “Gorbals” Martin as the race for Speaker heats up. How blessed we are, seeing as how Tory tottie Anne Widdecombe has also allowed her name to be mentioned. But […]
The IRA used bombs and bullets…but as far as TheEye is aware they didn’t ever get as inventive as ETA who planned to assassinate judges with poisoned decent French brandy. The leading antiterrorist judge Balthasar Garzon (pictured) was one of several intended targets in a plot foiled by authorities with […]
There was a horrible idea circulated last month by Quentin Letts (documented on this blog) that Jacqui Smith would be bought off by being offered the Governor’s chair in Gibraltar. It’s become habit that after a few military types then the Rock is due a failed politician to lurk in […]
Armed Forces Day – What is it? The first Armed Forces Day is 27 June 2009, and is an opportunity for the nation to show our support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community. Every single council in the mainland, most in Northern Ireland (with […]

Can’t say I am surprised to read the Saudi King wants his new best pal Obama to “impose” a “solution” on Israel. A final one, perhaps – or is that to be Iran’s role? Saudi Arabia and other Arab states want Obama to get tough with Israeli PrimeMinister Benjamin Netanyahu […]
Thoroughly deserved treatment, of a complete incompetent, by the veterans of WW2 and THAT grinning ninny seems to be completely oblivious. No change there then.After all, he seems to be oblivious to anything in the REAL world! Incidentally, I don’t recall seeing this clip being broadcast on the BBC. Mmmm, […]
