Beau Bo D’Or has come up with this amusing poster in preparation for George W. Bush’s visit to London (which it seems only anti-war groups are taking an interest in), and it’s bouncing around the blogs at the moment.
Much as I do harbour a dislike for both Bush and Johnson, it seems unfair to take […]
My MP, Alan Keen, finally wrote to me after about 6 weeks to say he had signed Early Day Motion 1155 on public photography. fanks mister! \o/
A cynical man may suspect that all labour MPs have been instructed to make nice after their local election hammering, and otherwise ignored communications from constituents have […]
“Tee hee! Boris has had an affair! Arf! Now he’s offended the whole of Liverpool! Crumbs! He used the word “picaninnies”! Yuk yuk! He’s been caught on tape agreeing to give the address of a reporter to a friend who wants him beaten up! Ho ho! Look at his funny blond hair! HA HA BORIS […]
Andrew comments regarding Dog-lead goths ‘hounded off bus’:

Uraeus, correct me if I am wrong but as far as I was aware Launchpad is not released software i.e. no one but Canonical uses it. Therefore IMHO there isn’t really a big issue about whether its source code should be released or not, since there is no one actually running it to take […]

No. 1?
I haven’t really had any time to write about anything for the last few weeks so I’ve only been doing link lists, but this one passed to me today by a co-worker really deserves comment.
If it comes across as excessively anti-American then sorry, that wasn’t the intention, and I don’t believe that anywhere else […]
According to this BBC news article, prisoners at Guantanamo Bay are being force-fed using tubes inserted into their noses to pump food directly into their systems against their will.
They are being force-fed because they tried to go on hunger strike to protest against the situation they are in. One former prisoner says he went […]
port7, I appreciate what you’re saying regarding countries like UK and USA making commitments to reduce their own nuclear arsenal before requiring countries like Iran to do so, but surely you must see that as a liberal daydream and not something that could likely happen in the real world?
The fact is that having nuclear weapons […]
