Stalin once said, “I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this — who will count the votes, and how.” A similar principle can be applied to global warming. It doesn’t matter whether the planet is actually warming to […]

It’s not often that TheEye quotes the Daily Make-It-Up but today is an exception, for we have the truly marvellous article: “Labour is dreaming up 33 new crimes a month… including barring you from swimming into the Titanic“. Labour has created 4,300 new crimes since taking power – including a […]
