Inadequate Home Office is real reason for Smith’s resignation
While everyone is still discussing expenses scandal, calling elections, ministers resigning, and Labour party disintegration, there are a few wondering who is running the country? Apparently, the country is running itself. Does it mean we do not need a government? No, but we do need to be careful of what kind of government we are [...]
Money, money, money
Though the expense scandal is not over, and Jacqui Smith has still not declared her true and accurate primary residence, she will be under lukewarm fire from the police regarding repeat offenders. At least, the media expect it to be rather lukewarm than fiery due to an agreed pay rise for police. Once again, we [...]
List of people “banned from entering UK” is published

The Fred Goodwin Gambit
There have been several stories over the past week or two about the immoral distribution of large sums of UK taxpayer money.
