Snouts in the Trough

My congratulations to an on-the-spot C4 news reporter who tonight dared say what none of the grovellingly politically-correct BBC journalists would ever say – “it looks like the Taliban are winning”. Of course they are winning. We are an invading foreign army. We are loathed by most Afghans. Ordinary Afghans believe it is their duty [...]

BA cabin crew are threatening strike action yet again. I’ve just booked my holiday to the USA and I’m not going with BA. What would be the point? You don’t know if there will be a flight or not.
After 20 years of flying 80 times a year for my work, I’m fed up with the arrogance, [...]

Our Armed Forces Minister Bill Rammell claims that the British may become “so risk-averse, cynical and introverted that we will find ourselves in inglorious and impotent isolation by default” just because the majority of the public can see that our politicians are lying, greedy, self-serving crooks who have sent our troops poorly-equipped into a poinltess [...]

While the politically correct howl on about Global Warming and how it might affect us in the future, they tend not to mention one man-made disaster which already kills millions of people every year. This is the corruption, stupidity and incompetence of many Third World governments. Many of the world’s most  impoverished countries are rich [...]

I’ve just read in a supposed ‘news’paper that another bunch of z-list celebs are ‘climbing’ Mount Kilimanjaro. For anyone who is interested – and I hope that means nobody – you do NOT climb Kilimanjaro, you walk up it. Moreover, it is an incredibly easy and leisurely walk except for the final night stretch to [...]

If summer 2009 had turned out to be the ‘barbecue summer’ predicted by the useless, politically-correct jobsworths at the Met Office, we’d have been drowning in their I-told-you-so-s as they claimed the hot summer was undeniable proof of Global Warming. Similarly, if we’d had the warm winter also predicted by the almost pointless nobodies at [...]

This is the absurd claim made by a fund manager interviewed for the Telegraph this week. But the gentleman makes his millions from ordinary suckers like you and me putting our cash into the stock market through shares, unit trusts and pension savings – so he would say that, wouldn’t he? Moreover, the stock market has [...]

Can we predict the future? When it comes to human greed, we probably can. So here’s one to watch. Sometime in 2010, Goldman Sachs will deliberately engineer a loss of confidence in Sterling. The pound will then fall to well below parity with the euro as investors dump it. This will allow Goldman Sachs to buy Sterling cheaply [...]

Hyper-warmist Guardian columnist George Monbiot seems to have been unusually quiet recently. As Britain freezes in the coldest winter for over thirty years, many of us are waiting with baited (and frozen) breath for our favourite Global Warming expert to explain how it can be so cold when the earth is supposedly getting warmer every year. [...]

What an election this is going to be. A completely discredited government led by a lying sociopath, backed by a glove-puppet chancellor and controlled by devious man/woman reptile. A ludicrous Tory party with a Blair lookalike leading it, a damaged-goods shadow chancellor still in short trousers and apparently nobody else with any intelligence, profile or talent [...]
