View ArticleWhy not Ken?
Just for a change I shall start things off with a statement of bias, I don’t like Ken Livingstone much (from what I know of him), think he was a poor Mayor and really don’t want him back in any sort of...
View ArticleProtests and pagents
Another rambling post I’m afraid, very soon London will be over run for the sum by both the pageantry for the queens jubilee and then shortly after the Olympics. During this period I intend to avoid...
View ArticleThought for the day
I was pondering something walking through my local meadows earlier today, which I may write about if I remember and get round to it etc.. But in the meantime the Punk Rock Libertarians posted a quote...
View ArticleNot in the news
With the recent G20 summit in Mexico you’d have thought all things Mexican would be in the news but oddly not. It would seem that they’ve got a bit of a student protest movement going on over there...
View ArticleMore reasons why I like Frank Turner
Apart from the fact that he made this rather awesome song: He also just posted this blog, which has this rather nice paragraph: “Incidentally, here’s some things I’m not: “Tory”, “conservative”, or...
View ArticlePolitics, navel gazing and Edith Cavell
Just in case the title of this post wasn’t enough warning, I must warn you that this post is rather navel gazing in content and may even tend towards being a bit hippy in places. I do apologize and I...

The Eastleigh elections are over and as everyone predicted the LibDems held the seat, the much more interesting part of the results was how well UKIP did and well done to them for it. The part I found...
View ArticleImpressions from the Liberty League Forum
I had the good fortune to attend the Liberty League freedom forum the other weekend. For a decent write up of it I’d suggest heading over to Samizdata, who are a lot more positive than I fear I’m going...
View ArticleMistaken facebook images about Margret Thatcher
I know arguing about the “information” in those “cleverly” captioned pictures on Facebook, tumblr and everywhere else is utterly pointless, but they’ve been annoying me for too long, so I’m going to...

I’m not actually dead just horribly busy which looks to continue for a while yet – mainly this is due to an excessive amount of social life, but I’m coping. So in the meantime a video made by 38degrees...
View ArticleA random thought on Syria and Parliament
Finally catching up on all sorts of goings on that I’ve missed whilst work and life have been happening. Particularly a lot of commentary on a certain Parliamentary vote which apparently didn’t go the...
