After a judge ruled that its constitution could discriminate against non-white people on Friday, the British National Party was banned from accepting any new members. ”I hold that the BNP are likely to commit unlawful acts of discrimination in the terms on which they are prepared to admit persons to membership under their constitution”, said [...]

Is Obama just bluffing?
Is it just a co-incidence that, now Obama can no longer force through legislation, he’s brought up the issues to deal with the banks? With little chance of getting through, the little people that funded half of his election costs (with their dollar or two) will not feel so aggrieved and the big people who [...]
No-one to win next UK General Election!
The newly-formed “no-one” Party (New One-Off NonEntities) look set to take the country over in the forthcoming General Election in the UK. In pretty much every previous election, more people have voted for no-one than for any other party. No-one has noticed this – and so it has formed a party so that voters can [...]
Reformation Lite
(The Bullingdon Club) When is a reformation not a reformation? Exhibit #1. Ed Milliband’s recent call for “Reform” : • More power for parliamentary select committees to scrutinise legislation. • More power to be devolved to local government. • The language of the chamber – such as calling MPs “my right honourable friend”. • The [...]
European Elections 2009

No way to save us

Please go, Gordon!
Kalvis Jansons, who started this petition said “There are many reasons why we might want Brown to resign, but rather than having lots of narrow petitions on this topic (most of which have been rejected), I wanted one for all of us“. There are nearly 9,000 signatories already. Thanks to Guido for pointing this petition [...]
Participating In Democracy
It has suddenly dawned on me! We have a Parliament. In that parliament are a bunch of our employees. The ones I’m talking about are the MPs. What we do as a population is give them a job. But we do not behave as bosses. Most of us sit and complain or cheer at what [...]
