Laugh or cry? There was a time when our electoral system was fair and incorruptible. We don’t live in Africa…over here, what went into the ballot boxes was what came out. One Man (before lunacy crept in) One Vote. A property franchise too. Life was much more civilised before the […]
It’s over and the dust is beginning to settle. Gordoom is holed up in the bunker staring gloomily at the revolver and the whisky but can’t bring himself to do the honourable thing. It’s a crying shame that the last sentence was typed metaphorically rather than literally. Having been fed […]
Here it is – the Election Night Liveblog…..starting when polls close at 10pm and carrying on until the last Moderator collapses in a gibbering drunken stupor over their laptop. We’re live and dangerous across 10 blogs – All Seeing Eye, Barking Spider, Biased-BBC, Corrugated Soundbite, Dick Puddlecote, Governmentitus, GrumpyOldTwat, Man […]

No, not the traditional battle-cry of the French, but the approach that planning inspectors have been ordered to take with gypsies. After a series of Freedom of Information requests, the Daily Mail has an article today detailing the corruption of planning rules through a series of directives issued by the […]
The subject of ID cards has largely been absent from this election campaign. The Conservatives have pledged to drop the un-libertarian and repressive idea, and Labour have remained quiet on the subject. With the attitude of the LibDems to defence, one has to assume that future ID card policy would […]
