UK Libel Laws to kill off UK hosting industry?

There has been much said about the Usmanov v bloggers case, with Bloggerheads re-emerging, of sorts, here. In typical fashion, I was away on a jolly when it all kicked off.
Personally, I generally agree with Dizzy Thinks post here. Since the Laurence Godfrey vs Demon Internet case, Fasthost’s are just complying with the legal realities [...]

Iain Dales top 100 ‘Right of Centre’ Blogs

OK, ignore the fact that a libertarian isn’t really ‘right of centre’ (economically, yes, socially, not really), as it’s a a commonly used grouping, and otherwise you would have to get really anal and break everyone down to minuscule groupings such a minarchists, etc, etc.
 
Have a look.
It’s great to see some of my favourite libertarian [...]

Remember kids, we do not live in a police state

It’s a fact, the BBC / Nu Labour alliance has not turned the UK into a police state. If you think it has, you’re wrong, as the official journal of the BBC / Nu Labour alliance stated back in June.
 
Obviously, then, this story is completely made up and didn’t happen like this at all. No [...]

Nanny roars..

…looks like you may be enjoying yourself there citizen. We can’t have that, can we? Ban ban ban tax ban ban ban tax.

Bash the rich

Not to be outdone by the Fib Demmers, it appears that some in Gordon’s big tent want a return to the politics of envy.
This kind of ‘tyranny of the majority’ populism sickens me. Government would do better to look at the stupid situation where an overly complicated tax system manages to tax the poor, then [...]

Stifle debate, Moi?

Gosh, this got a lot of coverage on the BBC / Nu Labour alliance channel, didn’t it? Still, if I had a bunch of moaning lefty unions in my party, I wouldn’t want them spouting socialist drivel either ~ but then I wouldn’t take their money….

Good riddance

My favourite Police Chief, Steve ‘Publicity not policing’ Green has announced his retirement. All jolly good. I especially like the following statement;
 
‘He counts the conviction of gang boss Colin Gunn, and the dismantling of his criminal empire, as his finest hour.’
 
Really, Steve? That will be Colin Gunn who was receiving information from some of your [...]

Is this genuine? Is it Konnie Huq…….

So, another suspected Blue Peter slight of hand (via An Englishman’s Castle).
 
Well, did anyone watch ‘The One Show’ last night? Ms. Huq was doing a piece about corsets. In an attempt to show how ones lung capacity was reduced by wearing one, she inflated a balloon with the air from one ‘lung full’, if you [...]

Dear Prime Minister

Dear Gordon
 
Last month, my company declined to tender for a huge contract, which despite it’s potential to yield massive profits, was considered high risk. This decision was made on the basis that the costs of tender, the required infrastructure and personnel investment, and the man hours involved, would put our existing business at risk.
However, I [...]

Eh?

So, a Muslim man is convicted of being a wanna be suicide bomber. The reaction of the Scottish PC brigade? Round up all the non-Muslim kids, and enforce a bit of tolerance.
Erm, arse about face?
