Tories run Brothel in own home
According to a Post HERE two Conservative Councillors had been running a Brothel at their house. Now that just tells you how silly and not trust able this Party is, that their two Councillor's are making money selling sex in their own home. The fellow Conservative Councillor's from that Council must have enjoyed going round to this couple's home and Brothel. Not Looking Good on Cameron's vision! (more)
Online Poll - what should Anna name her new hamster?
Anna got a new hamster today and is very excited about this little powder puff on legs who is well on the way to capturing all our hearts:-). The wee rodent is very adventurous and loves playing in the tube attached to her cage. However, Anna can't decide what to call her. I thought I could extend my skills and try an online poll. I have to say that this is purely advisory in nature. As some of you will know, Anna is mad on Doctor Who. Therefore some of the nominations have a Who flavour - Rose, cos she's ... (more)

Tax cuts galore!
And so we come full circle (almost), with a call for tax cuts for the working middle classes. Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to tax cuts per se, and firmly believe that government should not be spending money where individual choice might be more effective. However, promising tax cuts implies that you have a pretty good idea as to the role of government. I'm yet to be entirely convinced (more)
Why not an integrated games?
With the paraolympics opening yesterday thought it was a great shame that we are still treating the paraolympics as an after thought. I thought I had heard that the London 2012 games were going to integrate the two. But, on looking at the website again this does not appear to be happening. At the Manchester Commonwealth games the two were successfully integrated, which I believe, riased the (more)
How to be a bad winner: guidance brought to you by Labour
Labour in Oxford are living proof there's such a thing as a bad winner. A couple of months ago, their government effectively gave the green light to an urban extension at Grenoble Road. Let's leave aside that, as I pointed out before, it will only provide well under 2000 units of affordable housing, that it would have been better to have a strategic review of the whole Green Belt, not just one part of it -- this is not the solution to the housing crisis that Labour would like to pretend it might be, but at least there are going ...

Labour run County Council failure
The County Council run Project to build new schools in Burnley and Pendle has flopped. Pendle Vale a Nelson School was meant to be opening this week but failed to open and now is planning a date to open in the coming weeks. The County Council which is run by the Labour Party should be ashamed with themselves. This was one of the biggest and probably only large projects like this they have had to deal with in the last couple of years and they messed up on this. The people will in 2009 decide if the Labour Party and ... (more)

Where's Lemby? Day Six
All is quiet on the Opik front as we enter day six of the race to be Lib Dem party president. The media is still getting excited about his plans to go to prison and genius campaign slogans but of new stories, we have nothing. So we are left to go back to YouTube. Here, it is revealed that Lembit is one of the very few people who actually watches Big Brother 9 (is it still going on?): If Lembit can show this much passion for something as dull and uninteresting as a beauty contest on Big Brother, just think ...
