So the Girls Guides will swap “develop my beliefs” for “to love my God”, and replace “my country” with “my community” in the Guide Promise. I’m guessing that the words “To do my duty” that I remember from the Boy Scout Promise, went years ago? The latest changes are the result, almost inevitably, of widespread […]

It can be of little surprise that London Mayor Boris Johnson, playing in the pro-am charity game at Queen’s today, should be leading his old school and university sparring partner Dave Cameron in the polls today, as he makes yet another right call – this time saying that the UK should not arm the Syrian […]

Two of the very few areas of the law in which I excelled while briefly at university during what might generously be called study and what others who know me better will appreciate was a period of enjoyment irritatingly and only occasionally interrupted by education, were the Law of Torts and Criminal Law. The study […]

At a time when the membership of all mainstream political parties in England, although not in Scotland and Wales, is declining it is interesting to note that this is not true of the UK’s newest and currently brightest new political party, UKIP.

The hundreds of thousands whose “not in my name” protests were ignored by the alleged war criminal Tony Blair, may have a new target in Mr Cameron who is being tempted along the path to supply arms to Syrian actual or would-be terrorists. Our excuse for a national leader, Dave, has apparently said today that […]

This is bloody brilliant. The Reservoir Dogs of PR, or something like that any way. I must stop taking these substances, I thought this looked like Pitcher, Armstrong and Phillips are getting together (PAP ?) How will the rest of us simple mortals in PR ever survive this? This reminds me of my first ever […]

I am saddened to read news reports alleging inappropriate behaviour of energy select committee chairman Tim Yeo the latest MP targeted by a press sting. Mr Yeo is a greatly respected and long serving parliamentarian and yet the comments he freely made show avarice , naivety and stupidity. It turns out hat these comments are the only […]

If the allegations over the UK government use of the US Prism spying system are true, it would seem that our government has already had access to snooping power beyond their own recently canned Snooper’s Charter. As citizens of a liberal democratic society of course have a social contract trade with the state to give up some […]

Reblogged from Guy Fawkes' blog: Dave promised a “new era of transparency” under this government. Number 10 says tonight’s meeting will be private and they will not reveal who he speaks to or what is said.
