An article on the BBC this weekend caught my eye regarding one American woman’s feeling that she is not liked here due to the fact that she is American : Anti-Americanism ‘feels like racism’. Now while I am neither proud of my countrymen who behave thus nor justifying such behaviour I really think Ms Cox [...]
Are we actually supposed to believe this?
BBC News : Moussaoui lies ‘let 9/11 happen’
Seems quite dramatic, the story of the 20th hijacker on September 11th 2001 captured by US agents to stand trial for his crimes.
“Moussaoui said he was to be accompanied by British shoe bomber Richard Reid.”
That’s right, the bright spark who attempted [...]
So a bunch of left-wing writers have got together and knocked-up a Manifesto: Together facing the new totalitarianism to warn the world of the impending threat of Islamism, well thank you guys I never would have noticed there was any problem if it hadn’t been for you clever chaps. I use the phrase “knocked-up” because [...]
One of my personal objectives while away skiing was to get a respite from the news media’s fear peddling rubbish which is filling the void since the demise of the USSR, but as could be expected I was unable to escape entirely as footage of British soldiers in Iraq on an Italian news bulletin burst [...]
“The Fact that our economical models at The Fed, the best in the world, have been wrong for fourteen straight quarters, does not mean they will not be right in the fifteenth quarter.”
It was with a certain amount of dismay that I learned of the news that former US Central Bank chief Alan Greenspan is [...]
The recent news of the rape and murder of British holidaymaker Katherine Horton in Thailand is sad news indeed and my sympathies go to her family and friends but the recent arrest of two local fishermen got me thinking about my own experiences of travelling alone in the poorer parts of the world.
Every year thousands [...]
It has been my habit or rather tradition over the years to do a major part of my Christmas shopping at Fortnum and Mason. While their selection of food is rather traditional and heavy-weight for consumption most of the year round it is just the ticket for a hearty winter solstice feast and to put [...]
I was having some problems with my computer so last night I dedicated some time to getting to the bottom of things and setting it straight. With lots of tedious rebooting to do it seemed natural to put on some vacuous T.V. to while away the time and what better could there be than the [...]
More ranting along the lines of the we’re all going to the dogs thanks to socialism. There has been some programming on the BBC lately about a crisis in the health service regarding STD clinics in the UK. The statistics are truly worrying and the waiting lists are getting longer every year. It seems that [...]
I think it is with considerable dismay that every Briton of child baring age or with children themselves read the story of 12 year-old Shanni Naylor who was slashed across the face, requiring 30 stitches, by a fellow 12 year-old female classmate at a Sheffield school on Wednesday. Leaving the Daily Mail style indignant social [...]
Today is the 23rd anniversary of that most pervasive and irritating internet communication protocol of the emoticon or in its popular parlance, the smiley. Favoured form of communication amongst teenage girls and Johnny come lately internet users that some describe as the only way to convey emotion in written electronic communication but has come to [...]
At the end of time, billions of people were scattered on a great plain before God’s throne. Most shrank back from the brilliant light before them. But some groups near the throne talked heatedly. Not with crying shame, but with belligerence.
“Can God judge us? What can he know about suffering?” snapped a pert young brunette. [...]
