Whilst it is disgraceful that Her Majesty was not invited to the commemorations in Normandy to honour the heroes of “Obama Beach”, it is interesting to note one fact-ette. The Queen is constantly being referred to as the only current head of state who was in uniform and served during […]
From the sublime to the ridiculous. Earlier today we saw the Gipper speaking so movingly 25 years ago. And then, Gordon came along. Have a listen to this – a truly National embarrassment. He arrived LATE, was roundly boo-ed and then, came Obama beach. God almighty but will we not […]
On a more sombre note, I see that Obama has visited the Buchenwald concentration camp. Now we all know the great evil that was committed in that place and Obama delivered the usual rhetoric expected of him, even going so far as to condemn Holocaust deniers. But hang on a […]
It’s the big issue of the day, I refer of course to Caroline Flint – the femme fatale – accusing Brown of treating women as “window-dressing.” As you can see from the image above, this is a route brave Caroline the martyr never went down. I’m just praying Glenys Kinnock […]

It’s been a great day for those who loath Labour. It’s been an even better day for those who loath Gordon Brown. The two sets of people overlap since many Labour people also seem to loath Gordon! Ministers have been resigning on the hour, every hour, even as Gordon insists […]
