The circulation figure for the lefty rag, New Statesman, fell over the edge of a cliff some time ago and is still plummeting. Hardly surprising, if this is the standard of journalism.
Martha Gill writes an online column she calls Irrational Animals. Her latest outpouring is entitled, Why “family men” make terrible bosses. It’s possible Ms [...]

Diane Abbott partly to blame for breakdown in joined-up thinking.
She’s at it again! Diane Abbott flaps her gums and spews weapons grade bollocks. According to the headline she reckons that broken families, obesity and alcoholism are partly down to people like…erm…herself.
Scratches head. That can’t be right, can it?
Oh, wait, this is what she said…
Ms Abbott, the shadow public health minister, urged the left to [...]
Obama - a Labour saving device?
According to the BBC:
The UK should emulate the US idea of having a day dedicated to encouraging people to shop at small, local shops, Labour’s Chuka Umunna has said.
Well why not? We are doing our best to emulate the US’s trillions in debt after all. What could go wrong?
The shadow business secretary has [...]
Diplomatic Impugnity
According to the Daily Telegraph, Madonna’s ex squeeze Sean Penn, has been boxing in matters well above his intellectual microbe-weight. When I say well above I’m not talking stratospheric, I’m talking lunar orbit. Hollywoodland has rich deposits of stupid which are exploited on a daily basis and exported to the world’s political stages and media [...]
Parting Shot
Ah, hell! How can I slip quietly away when there’s one more load of weapons grade bollocks like this to fisk?
Lisa Hymas (for Grist, part of the Grauniad Environment Network) spouts forth testacularly:
The climate sceptics can finally get excited about the 2012 election: Rick Perry, their candidate of choice, is about to officially throw his [...]
A life choice?
When was the last time Britain had an honest to God warrior Prince? Well, Phillip was a warrior, but wasn’t a member of the Royal Family at the time.
Andrew? He didn’t make a life career out of it. Charles? Hmph. A stint in the military does not a warrior make.
Cry ‘God for Harry, England, and [...]
Mexican Wank Off
DPM Clegg has delivered another one off the wrist after pre-empting a recently commissioned review into the safety of UK nuclear power stations following the Fukushima incident. So, like a bastard child of Mystic Meg and Angus McTango, he’s using the barely underway and unpublished review to rip the balls off the only coherent [...]
Think Tank Wank
Neil O’Brien, in his own words, is the Director of Policy Exchange, an independent think tank working for better public services, a stronger society and a more dynamic economy. He also thinks he knows what makes people tick politically. What do you think?
I’m going to assume that you’ve just ploughed your way through [...]
The Biggest Cock in Georgia
Pavlov’s Cat has pictures of a giant cock he once saw.
Pavlov’s Cat, you ain’t seen nuttin’ yet!
Yes, I did once ask directions and was told to, “Turn left at The Big Chicken - you can’t miss it” and I thought some good ole boy was yanking my chain. But I didn’t want to [...]
The Shirking Classes*
Graeme Paton, Education Editor of the Daily Telegraph has this to say:
Despite billions spent attempting to boost social mobility under Labour, academics found the gap between rich and poor pupils widened throughout early education.
You don’t say. Neither do you define what academics consider to be rich or poor. Does rich include the middle classes or [...]
Religion of Peace
You have heard the sad news that Christopher Hitchens has been diagnosed with cancer?
How does a real religion of peace, and love, respond to its critics?
We must show love to Hitchens and pray for him. Would he want our prayers? Well his attitude might be that of one of his followers who commented on his [...]

Obamas nightmare:
H/T Jihad Watch
I’d vote for him
Life just isn’t fair.
You think you got politicians sussed; they are all slimy bastards, dishonest and wouldn’t know a principle from a five week fewmet. Then just to confuse you, along comes one who seems both sane and understands the issues.
Sigh.
Life, don’t talk to me about life. It just ain’t fair.
On the most recent insanity [...]
