Pratt on BBC News last night
Christine Pratt was a name none of us had heard of before Sunday. She is the woman from the National Bullying Helpline that told the BBC her charity had received calls from employees in Downing Street.
When I heard this on the news before going to bed last [...]
News has reched me from some rather upset customers of CSL Sofas – a Warrington based sofa firm.
I’ll only focus on one – the most explicit example of how to abuse your customers. Mr A received a telephone call some time ago to say his sofa was in the warehouse, and if he paid [...]
The Taxpayers Alliance has been in the news quite a bit over the weekend, with their 34 plans to save the country money during the recession.
Of course, that’s save the country money, but most likely push up the cost of goods and services for you and I. Their plans include abolishing bus fuel duty [...]
Ofcom (and probably the BBC) have been receiving a small number of complaints about the smash Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood.
Why did people complain? Not because it’s got John Barrowman in it, not because it’s being condensed from 13 to 5 episodes, in the same week. They didn’t complain about the fact that the programme [...]
According to BBC news, Telegraph Editor Will Lewis doesn’t think the constant barrage his newspaper has given our MPs of late has caused irreperable damage to the UK’s Parliament.
“This is not my fault. I am the messenger who happened to be able to get this stuff and deliver it to people who should have [...]
David Cameron that is. On Wednesday, during Prime Minister’s Questions, he was urging the Prime Minister to call a general election.
In The Times, he’s made more headway on his idea of fixed-term parliaments. Come off it. Do we really want to get rid of Brown so Cameron can decalre himself PM for a fixed [...]
What’s more important – the state the country is in, or the fact that a couple of people in the Cabinet have resigned.
Cameron just spent his ten minutes of PMQs lambasting the Government over the latter. He really didn’t go into the state of the country. He just wanted a new election. Meanwhile the [...]
There’s something in the water in Wesminster. Why else would the 660 MPs we dutifully vote in every few years be acting quite so childishly.
Something none of them have yet to realise is that the British Public are not stupid. We know the expenses system has been crooked for a long time. Parliament has [...]
First Labour are lambasted by the Telegraph, then the paper realises it really needs to be balanced, and publishes Tory expense details. The great British public and media are then duly expected to join a mass public hatred campaign against all MPs in the land. People who don’t know the full details of what’s been [...]
I’ve been flicking in and out of the landmark event that was the 1979 election, broadcast on BBC Parliament this May Bank Holiday Monday.
TheĀ media doesn’t remind us that Shirley Williams, who turned out to be Baroness Williams, was originally a Labour MP, and not just that but a member of the Government cabinet [...]
