Calorie Offsetting - The Fair Trade Way To Stay Slim
Everybody has heard of carbon offsetting, the super wheeze that will allow those of us in the civilised world to carry on as we are while the people of developing nations sell us their carbon allowances to keep body and soul together. Well how do you fancy our calorie offsetting scheme that allows you to eat what you like and pay a poor person to get fat for you

Hate Crime Law - Another Step Towards Fascism?
Those in politics who like to call themselves the progrssive left or progressive liberals love to talk about fairness and equality. Why themn are they so keen to introduce 'hate crime' laws that will grant privilege to certain groups in a system that depens on all being equal? Call us old fashioned but in our view there does not seem to be much justice in replacing one privileged elite with another.

Nothing Good Has Come Of The Internet.
When a technophobe denounces the internet as anti - social, anti jobs, a force for dumbing down or a waste of time it can easily be dismissed but when the CEO of a major technology company like Sony saays nothing good has ever come of the internet we should perhaps listen.

Rubber Baby Syndrome
If you thought the title would lead to a piece about sexual fetishes you are wrong – well wrongish. A programme on television last night dealt with a fad among women of a “certain age” (post menopausal insanity syndrome) for buying fake babies and acting as if they are not rubber but real real. These women, all well heeled and expensively if often somewhat...
The True Hockey Stick
Believer in the new religion of AGW, anthropogenic global warming or climate change will be sick of having their science based faith mocked and their scientist priests ridiculed. To help them hold to their belief we offer a change to own a fragment of the true hockey stick, the sacred symbol of their religion.

Bond Villain Targets Britain's Future by John De Roe.
Bill Gross, the world's biggest bond investor might have voted for Obama hnd has some sympathy for Labour because they talk of creating jobs, but he thinks the British economy is in worse shape than anyone is going to admit and is quite willing to take advantage of our vulnerability."

Drugs Online
One of the few growth industries is the selling of fake prescription drugs online. So long as the drugs sold as viagra, vallium, ritalin etc are just sugar pills there is no harm done. It's when people buy the real thing the trouble starts...

Unlike a real prostitute however who may give you a social diseas or if you are lucky just a hand job before running off with your money, you are never going to get anything from Slutbot.

Internet Access As A Human Right?
A survey carried out by the BBC found a majority of people around the world believe internet access should be a basic human right. We suspect a bit of statistical rigging because the majority of people in the world live below the poverty line and probably have more urgent priorities than surfing the net.

FOR OLDER COMMENTS from our blog index click here. MORE FAVOURITES

Prior to Home Secretary Jaqui Smith's announcement that he was barred from entering Britain I, like most people in those country had never heard of the American right wing "shock jock" radio presenter. Now I comment on and contribute to several American collaborative blogs, some right leaning others favouring a more liberal line so I have at least heard of most of these demonised radio motormouths.

Rush Limbaugh's political views may be odious but one has to admire his ability to "busk it" taking random questions and talking coherently on whatever topic is thrown at him. Similarly one must recognise the talent and intelligence of Anne Coulter , not as strident in real life as she is on her show; (and yes, I would invite Anne to dinner, that has nothing to do with supporting her political views though most Obamabots seem to think otherwise.) No wonder Obama, the great orator, the man of such stupendous intelligence he is the greatest human being ever to live according to his supporters, ducked a live debate with these two. Obama's increasing difficulty in reading from his autocue coherently is making many erstwhile supporters wonder if any political though has ever entered his head that did not get there via an teleprompter or a script. The President's mind is nowhere near nimble enough to let him go head to head with Limbaugh or Anne Coulter without ending up looking like a dull witted novice.

Others of rabid right shock jock tribe, Bill O Reilly, Sean Hannity etc. are just names to most people in Britain. Very few of us had even heard of Michael Savage until Jaqui Smith announced he was to be barred from entering Britain because he incites hatred. How much hatred can a man incite in a place where nobody has heard of him?

Only a few weeks ago a right wing member of the Dutch parliament, Geert Wilders, was similarly banned from entering Britain, in his case because he had been invited to show a documentary film critical of Islam and The Koran to a very small, select audience of conservatives. At least Wilders had plans to come to Britain. Banning him was a PR disaster for the Labour government. So far as anybody knows Michael Savage had no plans to visit Britain or if he did intend to come it was only in a private capacity. It is bad enough that we ban an American, a citizen of a long time ally and a nation with which we share more than a language but to ban an elected representative of the people of a fellow European Union member is unconscionable.

What is going on? Britain does not have a clause in its constitution safeguarding free speech as the United States does, this is mainly because the right of free speech in Britain goes back to pre Christian times. The Witan (great council) did not trouble itself much with documentation but the safety of councillors sent by the tribal kingdoms was guaranteed no matter who they spoke against.

Addressing supporters of the extreme right Winston Churchill said, quoting Voltaire, "I do not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it." No doubt leaders of America's independence movement in the eighteenth century had much the same principle in mind when drafting the constitution.

Has our fifteen hundred year old commitment to free speech been thrown out with the junk to appease the hypersensibilities of a few minorities. Most of the current crop of free speech issues centre on religious minorities. The majority position is we respect the right of minority religions, Muslims, Sikhs, fundamentalist Jewish or Christian sects or new age mushroom eaters to practice their beliefs so long as they break no laws, harm nobody and respect our right to ridicule their crazy beliefs and comedy beards.

Why then is it Geert Wilders and Michael Savage who are publicly and humiliatingly banned. They, to the best of my knowledge, have only said Islam is a very unpleasant religion. Certain Islamist preachers who have been allowed into the country have used the platforms they were given to call for the slaughter of British non Muslims. This article does not aim to demonise Islam so it must be said most Muslims living in Britain abhor such talk and understand that it does not help their efforts to integrate and be accepted.

The question that must be asked though is why are we forced to tolerate Islamic extremists but not given the opportunity to ridicule people like Wilders and Savage should they deserve our ridicule? Should we not, in an allegedly free, democratic society, be given the chance to hear what they have to say and decide for ourselves whether to offer plaudits or pelt them with rotten fruit? Do the government think we are not capable of making up our own minds? Clearly not.

In a few weeks elections to the European Parliament will be held. Most people's feelings about the European Union, not just in Britain but in most of the west's more developed nations, can be summed up in the slogan, "if you love Europe you hate the EU." ( I love Europe) Only the people of new EU members of the former Soviet Bloc are in support of federalisation and further enlargement. By contrast Germany Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy of France are committed to federalisation and centralisation as are most political groups. More centralisation, bigger bureaucracies and the seat of power more remote than ever from the people. ironically the biggest electoral threat to the Labour One Worlders comes from the extreme right British National Party. The BNP may not win many seats in the European Parliament but in working class areas could easily take enough votes from disillusioned Labour voters to let in Conseratives or Liberal Democrats.

That Labour is losing votes to an extreme Nationalist party shows how out of touch they are with their core constituency and how abysmally their politically correct multiculturalist agenda has failed. Therein lies the key to understanding Labour's war on free speech. The hidden agenda is the push towards One World Government. Somebody at the recent G20 conference let the cat out of the bag, saying "our task is not just to create a global economy but a global culture". The voters destest multiculturalism and politically correct policies therefore informed debate must be suppressed.

The Thought Police are on their way.
