Today saw the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz. Lets think about what that means, the sheer scale that is six million people, the death, the terror, the hate. For all the wrong reasons the Holocaust is without doubt the most significant event of the last century, and like most people… Continue reading Prince Edward. A pathetic, weedy individual

Three minute silence?
Don’t get me wrong, I like the idea of a period of collective thought, a moment to reflect on recent catastrophic events, It’s just that the whole three minutes silence thing is a bit too arbitrary. For instance, we had a silence after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but not for the earthquake in Iran last… Continue reading Three minute silence?
Leave those kids alone, Combover
I’m trying to put my finger what I find most offensive about Prince Charles most recent comments regarding young people and ambition. Initially it was anger towards the use his position as a platform from which to pass comment on our society, one to which he has never made a valid contribution and quite obviously… Continue reading Leave those kids alone, Combover
Keep it coming Charles
The thing is, I should be angry about Prince Charles’s outrageously old fashioned comments. The more I think about it however, the more I realise he’s actually doing the republican cause a massive favour. This is the same single reason that I believe the BNP shouldn’t be silenced; as long as their lumpen ignorance is… Continue reading Keep it coming Charles
Blunkett gets hot under the collar in the Sun

Interesting to see that today David Blunkett actually had his own column to react to the latest hysteria in Britain’s daily dose of racism. Previous Home Secretaries had to wait and see if Murdoch, or… Continue reading Blunkett gets hot under the collar in the Sun
Express delivery
Have you noticed how adverts have those identifying tags bolted on the end? Just in case you don’t know what brand is lobbying for your trade, you get some highly annoying little phrase or ring tone to hear people repeat to themselves subconsciously. The worst offender is vulgar The Daily Express and it’s little cartoon… Continue reading Express delivery
The National lottery: The poor mans tax
Well over fifty years ago George Orwell eerily predicted the use of a national lottery game to occupy the proletariat whilst also raising funds for Big Brother. The national lottery 2004. Only poor people play the lottery, fooled into coughing up their hard earned cash by a government that openly admits its dislike for them.… Continue reading The National lottery: The poor mans tax
A new role for the Windsors
The concept of celebrity has exploded over the past decade into something of its own industry. Whilst being a footballer or pop star used to allow for a certain amount of star status, now being famous is usually enough to guarantee an individual the position of ‘Celebrity’. For some this is a handy way to… Continue reading A new role for the Windsors
The Royal Family and War Memorials
Every village has a war memorial, the little wrought iron gates next to the church, usually bloated with the hundredth coat of glossy black paint, quietly seals off that almost sacred plot that as a child you never ventured. Somehow the little patch of grass, lists of names and occasional bunch of flowers gave off… Continue reading The Royal Family and War Memorials
