Graham Brady quits

A matter of conscience, apparently. I am amazed that there are still politicians in either of the big three that know what that means. All power to him, as I know exactly how he feels.
The chipmunk has a bit of a giggle at the Tory’s misfortune (last paragraph), but as she is angling to become [...]

The ‘Patricia’ Principle

The ‘Patricia’ Principle; The political art of promising something will never happen while laying the foundations for it to actually happen. See also; the West Lothian question, Liar.
‘Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt has always insisted that MSWs would not be used as substitutes for professionally qualified midwives.’
Support staff ‘do midwife tasks’

Dangers of the EU superstate ~ from someone who would know

‘Look at Denmark which voted against the Maastricht treaty twice. Look at Ireland [which voted against the Nice treaty]. Look at many other countries, they are under enormous pressure. It is almost blackmail. Switzerland was forced to vote five times in a referendum. All five times they have rejected it, but who knows what will [...]

Now more Tory bollocks

Has the world gone completely mad? We have Labour desperately trying to turn into the most authoritarian party in the UK’s history, and now this complete crock of shit.
So, under Blue Labour, academic selection wrong, racist selection correct.
Morons. Can none of todays parties actually put forward policies that have a shred of intellectual consistency?

Stop and quiz

More totalitarian bollocks from wreck it and run Reid.
 
Policeman: ‘Where have you been and what have you been doing’
Mr Haddock: ‘I have mainly been minding my own freaking business’
 
I really do hope these New Labour Nazi bastards die. Soon. Painfully.

Wanted Appeal

Not at all funny this (hat tip to Iain Dale and DK)
As per the post on Rachel North’s blog, and if you haven’t already seen this appeal elsewhere, if you see this person, please call the police.

Children’s party’s, Bar Mitzvah’s , world cup appearances , etc.
 

Huge moral dilemma ~ bullying of birds

I have a bit of a moral dilemma.
Recently, Mr Haddock senior had noticed that the eggs from our free range chickens had been pecked at. Initially, it was just the one, but the frequency of the incidents gradually increased.
The culprit was found when, on entering the shed where the said chickens spend their nights protected [...]

Assist your neighbours Lada

You awake in the Peoples Socialist Republic of Europe. You go to work, pay your taxes, and are presented with the official peoples car, the UK Lada. It is shit. It often fails to work, quality is patchy, it only goes where the state wishes it to go, and it’s radio can only pick up [...]

splashing around in the shallow end of the educational debate

So, Dave still doesn’t get it, does he? Apparently, I’m an old fashioned right wing dinosaur. Never mind that while he was running around smashing up restaurants on daddy’s money I was thinking dinosaur like thoughts such as social libertarianism. It actually offends me greatly to be lumped in with the intolerant minority in the [...]
