I know exactly what you mean, pirate. I've been following RT and Al Jazeera for quite a while now. No doubt you've noticed the latter have been showing a documentary (Al Nakba) about the history of the Palestinians. Interesting and very informative, and showing how Israel has been keeping Palestinian books 'for safekeeping'. Effectively helping to more…

A revival of Thatcher's policies? Unlikely the Tories are too incompetent to achieve this and I think in their heart of hearts Cameron and Osborne know its all bolix anyway. They're goal is merely to kick the poor for a bit and run off with our wallets. A sort of class warfare ram raid if you will.
UKIP on the other hand, aka the UK te more…

He voted against? Here's the plan, get a load of bee keepers together and be waiting for him at heathrow airport with a few million bees (what's the attack word for bee's I'm assuming "wasp" or something like that), I'm thinking of something from that 80's film "the swarm".

I know, MAB. The powers that be over here (like Willy Hague) are such hypocrites, pointing at Russia and China for suppressing dissent when it's de rigeur here too. Our lot are only slightly more subtle at it (ha!). more…

Chum of mine sells T Shirts on-line and does not to badly at it but has had his merchandise blocked by both e-bay and Amazon for the anti Thatcher/Tory t shirts he sells. Censorship is alive and well in UK. more…

The security at this bloody funeral will cost the taxpayer millions. But that's okay isn't it, because it's for something the establishment rubber stamps. more…

We'll be hearing shortly about the trade unions being the paymasters of Labour. I want to hear more about these other paymasters, the ones funding the Tories. more…

I noticed the Eastleigh by-election result was just 'a mid-term protest vote' as far as the Tories were concerned regarding their own showing. However, in the next breath they deemed it to be disastrous for Labour. They want it both ways, but it doesn't work like that. Just shows what a bunch of devious tossers they are. more…
