Muslim protesters should be deported
The war in Iraq has been controversial. However, the soldiers sent there should not be the ones to be held responsible for the controversy. They show their patriotism by doing their duty there, and no one has the right to criticise them for it. Whatever their own views may have been, if they had protested, [...]
Daylight Saving Time – what a bunch of baloney
Daylight Saving Time or British Summer Time. The US has just gone through it. We will be going through it soon. After all these years, I still don’t get it. Why do we have to do this? Proponents of DST point out all the benefits of using the extra hour of daylight. What are they [...]
Changes in policy can save the country money
As many of us are struggling through these financial times, we often review our circumstances and determine how we can cut back on our costs. Though our governments are doing the same, I don’t think they are seeing the forest for the trees. Some articles in yesterday’s Telegraph printed some statistics that I cannot verify, [...]
Vatican needs to review abortion stance
It is not often that I say much against the Church, no matter how wrong I feel it may be. But the recent excommunication of members of the Catholic faith in Brazil for allowing a nine-year-old to undergo an abortion really is beyond understanding. The Church has turned a blind eye to an act that [...]
Scrap gay history month
Do you remember the age-old adage, ‘the more things change, the more they stay the same’? Have you ever sat back and wondered how that applied to your life? How about ‘history repeats itself’? As times change, it seems we try to flow along and change with it. Little do we realise that soon we [...]
Slime attacks Mandelson
It’s been a little while, but another professional teenager has emerged from the woodwork. This time it’s the turn of 29 year old adolescent Leila Deen, who, this morning, covered Lord Mandelson in a green liquid. It was an appalling performance from Deen who, in her 15 seconds of limelight, struggled to frame a coherent [...]
The age of multiculturalism
I read a blog about multiculturalism and its comments. What can I say? I am a so-called ‘American’. That is, I came from America, or the US, to be more precise. Therefore, I am an immigrant in Great Britain. I came here legally, through marriage to a real British citizen. By ‘real’, I mean multi-generation, [...]
See! I told you it was all his fault!
Another excuse for women to use to blame everyone else for their shortcomings has been revealed by researchers. US psychologists found that symptoms as diverse as high blood pressure, bulging waistlines, sky-high cholesterol, blood sugar and triglycerides, and missing Eastenders can all be conveniently blamed on a sufficiently incited husband. Details of the study, based [...]
Another religious controversy
The National Secular Society is kicking up another fuss over religion. Southampton University Hospital NHS Trust will be assessing individual’s spiritual and psychological needs when they are admitted in to hospital. The NSS are declaring that this was just ‘chaplains in the hospitals touting for business’. The NSS seem to want to turn this into [...]
Some statistics catch in the palate
There’s a long and varied history behind the Office of National Statistics. It was borne from the merging of two older government bureaus (the CSO and the OPCS) under the last Tory government, and just last year was placed under the governance of the newly formed UK Statistics Authority. Aside from its historical vicissitudes, the [...]
