Blair's earnings

Yes, I wonder if he remembers he once was (or lied about being) a Socialist?
Funny old world as Mrs. T. used to say.

Blair's earnings

And some people wonder why those who have deep reservations about Britain's involvement in wars in Muslim countries sometimes take aggressive action against Britain, Britain's military and Britain's allies; or are deeply sceptical about the impact of the war in Afghanistan, about domestic police action against suspected terrorists, etc.

Is there a date for publication of the Chilcot report yet?

I wonder if it will cover people who park their 4X4s on the pavement while dropping their children off at the local private prep school? They are certinly causing nuisance & annoyance.

freemasonry and police corruption

Truly boggling stuff, Calum!

Your second link contains this:

"Concerns over the influence of freemasons on the criminal justice system in 1998 led former Home Secretary Jack Straw to order that all police officers and judges should declare membership of the organisation."

What was Straw doing allowing this insubordinating snub to pass without public revelation and discussion? Is this the same Jack 'Last Man Standing* Straw who marched his son William to a police station when Straw discovered that William's apparent drug-dealing was about to bubble up into the Press? And isn't William now on some constituency short-list?

This serves to convince me that we need a series of public enquiries into corruption in our society. Not only must we do it, but we must be seen to be doing it if we are to continue to lecture the rest of the world about corrupt practices.

Pass the sick-bag, Alice.

Is that genuine, Cali? I'd hate to sign something that would unwittingly have my name included on secret files...

[Nick Armstrong]

I believe so.

evidence based policy

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

David Freud, said that the rules will be amended in March “to ensure that all working-age social sector tenants who under-occupy their homes are subject to a reduction in their eligible rent, regardless of the length of their tenancy, unless they fall within one of the limited exceptions.”

Speak English or lose benefits: Cameron to stop payouts to immigrants who use taxpayer-funded translators

The latest proposed crackdown reflects the influence of Australian-born Tory election chief Lynton Crosby. Mr Crosby is said to have given orders that the party must produce ‘a new policy to curb immigrants and benefits’ every week.
