Late last night I ran out of time and, fearful of the onset of a migraine, didn’t commit this to blog publication. Political bloggers far better than I— especially septicisle—have summarized events better than I might.
Much as feminism is first and foremost about equality and not about misandry, the anger at imported labour at Lindsey [...]

Misogynist, misguided, cake-headed, fake-furred, philosophically challenged starey-eyed vegaloons PETA continue to objectify women with their advertising campaigns, also merely incidentally saying something or other about, oh, vegetarianism or whatever. Stop thinking and look at the norks, you peasants.
PETA embody everything hateful about antifeminism from the beauty myth downwards. We’ve been here before, of course, and [...]

My dad says he never uses indicators while in a car park, because legally you don’t have to. This comment was made a few weeks after he came back to his car, parked in a branch of Carrefour, to find someone had put a dent in it. He was livid, but then perhaps the [...]

The innocent man has only so much to fear from the police as they do from any other bunch of otherwise laughable, heavily armed, thick-skulled, stoked-up neds.
There’s currently a peaceful demonstration and climate workshop camp being run near the proposed site of the coal-fired white elephant at Kingsnorth. The site’s owner is reportedly more than [...]
For those who missed it, a bootnote to The Register’s ongoing coverage of the Phorm privacy saga (bizarrely, not covered by the traditional press):
We tried to obtain an interview today with Andrew Knight via a direct email approach. A Home Office press officer called soon after to say that “I’m not impressed by that… you [...]

vinaigrettegirl writes to Nadine Dorries, which optimistically presupposes that the latter can read the communcation. Since she went up against Ben Goldacre and, by proxy, Snopes, Dorries has generally been considered something of an idiot. Most recently, Unity has taken her apart over at the Ministry of Truth.
Personally I like to quote Monbiot’s statistic, that [...]

I heard on the radio this morning that, as the Tories believe that married couples provide the best environment for children to grow up in, they’ll be offering such families £20 as an incentive. That the Tories are effectively proposing themselves as the party of big-spend is of course concealed by the notion that this [...]
On Sunday I walked with K. up to New Yatt, a small village some two miles from Witney. We were hoping to tramp from there, across fields and the A4095, to Cogges Wood. But as we sat down in the centre of the village we were both already suffering from the heat, and our water [...]
You think you know people; you think you can trust your demographic; and then a bunch of them start saying witless, ill-conceived rubbish like this, in favour of ID cards.
I’m stunned that rational people don’t see the harm in an ID card. It’s an extension of the belief that the innocent man has nothing to [...]
